permitted by law, from and against any and all Obligations, whether incurred with respect to third parties or otherwise, in any way resulting from, arising out of or in connection with, based upon or relating to (i) the Securities Act,

to the extent any such Obligation arises out of or is based upon (1) any material breach or violation by the applicable Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under any of the
Transaction Agreements or under any of the Related Documents to which such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates is a party or (2) any matter for which such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates (other than any member of the Company Group)

 (b) Without in any way limiting the foregoing Section 2(a), each of the Indemnifying Parties agrees, jointly and severally, to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Obligations resulting from, arising out of or in connection with, based upon or relating to liabilities under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other

Entities, as the case may be, in an instrument duly executed by such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates and specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such Related Document. 

(c) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, in the event that any Proceeding is initiated by an Indemnitee, any member of the Company Group
or any other Person to enforce or interpret this Agreement or the Consulting Agreement, any rights of such Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of Expenses (or related obligations of such Indemnitee) under any member of the Company
Group’s certificate of 

  
 8 

 
incorporation or bylaws, any other agreement to which such Indemnitee and any member of the Company Group are party, any vote of directors of any member of the Company Group, the Delaware General
Corporation Law, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy, or any rights or obligations under the Consulting Agreement, the Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify such Indemnitee against all costs and Expenses incurred by such

assertions made by such Indemnitee in such Proceeding were in bad faith or were frivolous. 
 3. Contribution. 

(a) If for any reason any Indemnifying Party is prohibited from fully indemnifying any Indemnitee from any of the Obligations covered by such
indemnity, then the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Obligation in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of
each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, in connection with the state of facts giving rise to such Obligation, (ii) if such Obligation results from, arises out of, is based upon or relates to
the Transactions or any Subsequent Offering, the relative benefits received by each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from the Transaction, Subsequent Offering, Financing or other circumstances giving
rise to such Obligation and (iii) if required by applicable law, any other relevant equitable considerations. 
 (b) If for any
reason the indemnity specifically provided for in Section 2(b) is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee from any of the Obligations covered by such indemnity, then the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Obligation in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of each of the members of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such
Indemnitee, on the other, in connection with the information contained in or omitted from any Related Document, which inclusion or omission resulted in the actual or alleged inaccuracy or breach of or default under any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement therein, or which information is or is alleged to be untrue, required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the relative benefits received by the members of the
Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from the Transaction, Subsequent Offering, Financing or other circumstances giving rise to such Obligation and (iii) if required by applicable law, any other relevant
equitable considerations. 
 (c) For purposes of Section 3(a), the relative fault of each member of the Company Group, on the one hand,
and of an Indemnitee, on the other, shall be 

  
 9 

 
determined by reference to, among other things, their respective relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct the state of facts giving rise to such Obligation.
For purposes of Section 3(b), the relative fault of each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and of an Indemnitee, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, (i) whether the included or omitted
information relates to information supplied by the members of the Company Group, on the one hand, or by such Indemnitee, on the other, (ii) their respective relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
such inaccuracy, breach, default, untrue or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, and (iii) applicable law. For purposes of Section 3(a) or 3(b), the relative benefits received by each member of the Company
Group, on the one hand, and an Indemnitee, on the other, shall be determined by weighing the direct monetary proceeds to the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from the Transaction, Subsequent Offering, Financing or
other circumstances giving rise to such Obligation. 
 (d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contributions pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in such respective Section. No Indemnifying
Party shall be liable under Section 3(a) or 3(b), as applicable, for contribution to the amount paid or payable by any Indemnitee except to the extent and under such circumstances such Indemnifying Party would have been liable to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless such Indemnitee under the corresponding Section 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable, if such indemnity were enforceable under applicable law. No Indemnitee shall be entitled to contribution from any Indemnifying Party with
respect to any Obligation covered by the indemnity specifically provided for in Section 2(b) in the event that such Indemnitee is finally determined to be guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) in connection with such Obligation and the Indemnifying Parties are not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 4.
Indemnification Procedures. 
 (a) Whenever any Indemnitee shall have actual knowledge of the assertion of a Claim against it, Deere
Investor (acting on its own behalf or, if requested by any such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of such Indemnitee) or such Indemnitee shall notify the appropriate member of the Company Group in writing of the Claim (a “Notice of
Claim”) with reasonable promptness after such Indemnitee has such knowledge relating to such Claim and has notified Deere Investor thereof; provided the failure or delay of Deere Investor or such Indemnitee to give such Notice of
Claim shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of actual notice to it and it is materially injured as a result of the failure to
give such Notice of Claim. The Notice of Claim shall specify all material facts known to Deere Investor (or if given by such Indemnitee, such 

  
 10 

 
Indemnitee) relating to such Claim and the monetary amount or an estimate of the monetary amount of the Obligation involved if Deere Investor (or if given by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee) has
knowledge of such amount or a reasonable basis for making such an estimate. The Indemnifying Parties shall, at their expense, undertake the defense of such Claim with attorneys of their own choosing reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Deere
Investor, subject to the right of Deere Investor to undertake such defense as hereinafter provided. Deere Investor may participate in such defense with counsel of Deere Investor’s choosing at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties. In the
event that the Indemnifying Parties do not undertake the defense of the Claim within a reasonable time after Deere Investor (or if given by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee) has given the Notice of Claim, or in the event that Deere Investor shall in
good faith determine that the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Parties is inadequate or may conflict with the interest of any Indemnitee (including, without limitation, Claims brought by or on behalf of any member of the Company Group),
Deere Investor may, at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties and after giving notice to the Indemnifying Parties of such action, undertake the defense of the Claim and compromise or settle the Claim, all for the account of and at the risk of the
Indemnifying Parties. In the defense of any Claim against an Indemnitee, no Indemnifying Party shall, except with the prior written consent of Deere Investor, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that includes any injunctive
or other non-monetary relief or any payment of money by such Indemnitee, or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such Claim to such Indemnitee of an unconditional release from all
liability on any of the matters that are the subject of such Claim and an acknowledgement that such Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters. The Indemnifying Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee against
amounts paid in settlement of a Claim if such settlement is effected by such Indemnitee without the prior consent of the Company (on behalf of all Indemnifying Parties), which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. In each case,
Deere Investor and each other Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder will cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties, so long as an Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Claim, in the preparation for and the prosecution of the
defense of such Claim, including making available evidence within the control of Deere Investor or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, and persons needed as witnesses who are employed by Deere Investor or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, in
each case as reasonably needed for such defense and at cost, which cost, to the extent reasonably incurred, shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties. 

(b) Deere Investor shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the amount requested for advances (a “Notice of
Advances”). Each of the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, agrees to advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by Deere Investor (acting on its own behalf or, if requested by any such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of such
Indemnitee) or any Indemnitee in connection with any Claim (but not for any Claim initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee other than 

  
 11 

 
a Proceeding pursuant to Section 2(c)) in advance of the final disposition of such Claim, without regard to whether Indemnitee will ultimately be entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Deere Investor or such Indemnitee to repay amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately and finally be determined, including through all challenges, if any, to the award rendered therein, that Deere
Investor or such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by any Indemnifying Party as authorized by this Agreement. Such repayment undertaking shall be unsecured and shall not bear interest. No Indemnifying Party shall impose on any Indemnitee
additional conditions to advancement or require from such Indemnitee additional undertakings regarding repayment. The Indemnifying Parties shall make payment of such advances no later than 10 days after the receipt of the Notice of Advances. 

(c) Deere Investor shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the amount of any Claim actually paid by Deere Investor or any
Indemnitee on whose behalf Deere Investor is acting (a “Notice of Payment”). The amount of any Claim actually paid by Deere Investor or such Indemnitee in compliance with this Section 4 shall bear simple interest at the rate
equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, from the date that is the 30 days after any Indemnifying Party receives the Notice of Payment to the date on which any Indemnifying Party shall repay the amount of such Claim plus interest thereon to
Deere Investor or such Indemnitee, as applicable. The Indemnifying Parties shall make indemnification payments to Deere Investor no later than 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Payment. 

(d) Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof. In connection with any determination regarding the entitlement of any Indemnitee to be
indemnified, or any review of any such determination, by any Person: 
 (i) It shall be a presumption that an Indemnitee has
met the applicable standard of conduct and that indemnification of such Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances. 
 (ii)
The burden of proof shall be on the Indemnifying Parties to overcome the presumptions set forth in the preceding clause (i), and each such presumption shall only be overcome if the Indemnifying Parties establish that there is no reasonable basis to
support it. 
 (iii) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, finding, award, settlement (whether with or
without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that indemnification is not proper or that an Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct or
that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by this Agreement or otherwise. 

  
 12 

 5. Certain Covenants. The rights of each Indemnitee to be indemnified under any other
agreement, document, certificate or instrument, by-laws or other organizational agreement or instrument, insurance policy or applicable law are independent of and in addition to any rights of such Indemnitee to be indemnified under this Agreement,
provided that to the extent that an Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement and by any other Indemnitee under any other agreement, document, certificate, by-law or instrument, or by any
insurer under a policy maintained by any other Indemnitee, the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties hereunder shall be primary, and the obligations of such other Indemnitee or insurer secondary, and the Indemnifying Parties shall not be entitled
to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against such other Indemnitee or insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnitee may choose to seek indemnification from any potential source of indemnification regardless of whether such
indemnitor is primary or secondary. An Indemnitee’s election to seek advancement of indemnified sums from any secondary indemnifying party will not limit the right of such Indemnitee, or any secondary indemnitor proceeding under subrogation
rights or otherwise, from seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Parties to the extent that the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties are primary, and each of the Indemnifying Parties jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each
Indemnitee from and against, and to pay to each Indemnitee, any amount paid or reimbursed by such Indemnitee to or on behalf of another indemnitee, pursuant to indemnification arrangements or otherwise, in respect of an Obligation referred to in
Section 2. The rights of each Indemnitee and the obligations of each Indemnifying Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnitee. Following the Transactions, each of
the Company Entities, and each of their corporate successors, shall implement and maintain in full force and effect any and all corporate charter and by-law provisions that may be necessary or appropriate to enable it to carry out its obligations
hereunder to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation a provision of its certificate of incorporation (or comparable organizational document under its jurisdiction of incorporation) eliminating liability of a
director for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as amended from time to time. So long as the Company or any other member of the Company Group maintains liability insurance for any directors, officers,
employees or agents of any such person, the Indemnifying Parties shall ensure that each Indemnitee serving in such capacity is covered by such insurance in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the
most favorably insured of the Company’s and the Company Group’s then current directors and officers. No Indemnifying Party shall seek or agree to any order of any court or other governmental authority that would prohibit or otherwise
interfere, and shall not take or fail to take any other action if such action or failure would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or otherwise interfering, with the performance of any of the Indemnifying Parties’
indemnification, advancement or other obligations under this Agreement.

7. Arbitration 
 (a) Any
dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this contract, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement
to arbitrate, shall be finally determined by arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS. If the disputed claim or counterclaim exceeds $250,000, not including interest or attorneys’ fees, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules
and Procedures (“JAMS Comprehensive Rules”) in effect at the time of the arbitration shall govern the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual written agreement of the parties. If no disputed claim or
counterclaim exceeds $250,000, not including interest or attorneys’ fees, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Streamlined Rules”) in effect at the time of the arbitration shall govern the arbitration,
except as they may be modified herein or by mutual written agreement of the parties. 

  
 15 

 (b) The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, New York. The parties submit to jurisdiction
in the state and federal courts of the State of New York for the limited purpose of enforcing this agreement to arbitrate. 
 (c) The
arbitration shall be conducted by one neutral arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise. The parties agree to seek to reach agreement on the identity of the arbitrator within 30 days after the initiation of arbitration. If the parties are unable
to reach agreement on the identity of the arbitrator within such time, then the appointment of the arbitrator shall be made in accordance with the process set forth in JAMS Comprehensive Rule 15. 

(d) The arbitration award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the parties. Subject to
Section 2(c), the arbitrator may, in the award, allocate all or part of the fees incurred in and costs of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator and the attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party. Judgment on the award may be
entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. Notwithstanding applicable state law, the arbitration and this agreement to arbitrate shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9
U.S.C. § 1, et seq. 
 (e) The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding
and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, JAMS, the parties, their
counsel, accountants and auditors, insurers and re-insurers, and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding. The confidentiality obligations shall not apply (i) if disclosure is required by law or applicable legal process, or
in judicial or administrative proceedings, or (ii) as far as disclosure is necessary to enforce the rights arising out of the award. 

8. Governing Law. Except to the extent that the laws of Delaware are mandatorily applicable, this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws to the extent that such principles would require or permit
the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 
 9. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to modify this 

  
 16 

 
Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally
contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 
 10. Successors; Binding Effect. Each Indemnifying Party will require its successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and assets of such Indemnifying Party, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Deere Investor and
its counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as such Indemnifying Party would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns, and each other Indemnitee, but neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder shall be assigned, whether by operation of law or otherwise, by
the Company Entities without the prior written consent of Deere Investor. Insofar as any Indemnitee transfers all or substantially all of its assets to a third party, such third party shall thereupon be deemed an additional Indemnitee for all
purposes of this Agreement, with the same effect as if it were a signatory to this Agreement in such capacity. 
 11. Miscellaneous.
The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to confer any right or remedy hereunder upon any
Person other than each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and each other Indemnitee (each of whom is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement). Except as otherwise provided herein, no
modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless such modification, amendment or waiver is in a writing duly executed by each of the Company Entities and Deere Investor (acting on its own behalf and on
behalf of each other Affiliated Indemnitee) and in compliance with Section 2.10 of the Stockholders Agreement. Neither the waiver by any of the parties hereto or by any other Indemnitee of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of
this Agreement, nor the failure by any such party or Indemnitee, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or
default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges. The rights, indemnities and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, indemnities or remedies that any party or other
Indemnitee may otherwise have by contract, at law or in equity or otherwise, provided that (a) to the extent that any Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by any member of the Company Group and by any other Indemnitee or any
insurer under a policy procured by any Indemnitee, the obligations of the members of the Company Group hereunder shall be primary and the obligations of such other Indemnitee or insurer secondary, and (b) no member of the Company Group
shall be entitled to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against such other Indemnitee or insurer. This 

  
 17 

 
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures provided by facsimile or electronic transmission in “pdf” or equivalent
format will be deemed to be original signatures.

on ABL Priority Collateral that are pari passu in priority with the Liens on such Collateral securing the amounts due under this Agreement, pursuant to (A) the Security Documents (but only to the extent any such Bank Products Agreement
secured under a Security Document has also been designated as a Designated Cash Management Agreement in accordance with clause (ii) hereof), or (B) the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement or (C) another intercreditor
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and (ii) designated as a “Designated Cash Management Agreement” as contemplated by Subsection 11.22;
provided that each Bank Products Agreement listed on Schedule 1.1(h) shall be deemed a “Designated Cash Management Agreement” on the Closing Date. 

“Designated Hedging Agreements”: Interest Rate Agreements, Hedging Agreements or other Permitted Hedging Arrangements that
are (i) secured by Liens on ABL Priority Collateral that are pari passu in priority with the Liens on such Collateral securing the amounts due under this Agreement, pursuant to (A) the Security Documents, or
(B) the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement or (C) another intercreditor agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and (ii) designated as
a “Designated Hedging Agreement” to the Administrative Agent as 

  
 21 

 
contemplated by Subsection 11.22; provided that each Interest Rate Agreement, Hedging Agreement or other Permitted Hedging Arrangement listed on Schedule 1.1(i) shall be
deemed a “Designated Hedging Agreement” on the Closing Date. 
 “Designated Hedging Reserves”: reserves in an
amount equal to the then aggregate outstanding mark-to-market (“MTM”) exposure of all Loan Parties to the relevant Hedging Parties under all Designated Hedging Agreements as provided by the applicable Hedging Party from time to time
in accordance with the succeeding requirements. Such exposure shall be the sum of the positive aggregate MTM values to each Hedging Party of all Designated Hedging Agreements with such Hedging Party outstanding at the time of the relevant
calculation. The aggregate MTM value to a Hedging Party of all Designated Hedging Agreements with such Hedging Party shall be calculated by such Hedging Party (i) on a net basis by taking into account the netting provision contained in
the ISDA Master Agreement (or other similar agreement with netting provisions substantially similar to an ISDA Master Agreement) with such Hedging Party and (ii) if applicable, by taking into account any master netting agreement or
arrangement in place among such Hedging Party, any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof that is also party to a Designated Hedging Agreement and the relevant Loan Party, in which case the positive aggregate MTM value of all relevant Designated Hedging
Agreements to such Hedging Party and such Subsidiaries or Affiliates who are parties to such master netting agreements shall be calculated in respect of all of the relevant Designated Hedging Agreements on a net basis across all such Designated
Hedging Agreements; provided that the Borrower Representative (i) certifies to the Administrative Agent that such master netting agreement shall apply to all such Designated Hedging Agreements in all cases including upon the
occurrence of an event of default by the relevant Loan Party in respect of any such Designated Hedging Agreement and (ii) upon request, provides to the Administrative Agent a copy of the master netting agreement. The Hedging Party, in
calculating the positive aggregate MTM value to such Hedging Party, shall take into account the value of collateral posted to such Hedging Party in respect of such Designated Hedging Agreements, such that the value of such collateral shall reduce
the MTM value of such Designated Hedging Agreements that is out-of-the-money to the relevant Loan Party by an amount equal to (x) the amount of cash collateral or (y) the value of non-cash collateral with such value as
determined by the relevant Hedging Party or the relevant valuation agent in accordance with the relevant credit support annex or other collateral agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any haircut provision applicable to such
non-cash collateral); provided that the Borrower Representative shall provide any supporting documentation for such value as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, if the MTM value of all
Designated Hedging Agreements with a Hedging Party is a negative amount to such Hedging Party (i.e., if all such Designated Hedging Agreements with such Hedging Party are in-the-money to the relevant Loan Party on a net basis), such MTM value shall
be treated as zero in calculating the amount of the Designated Hedging Reserves. The MTM value of a Designated Hedging Agreement for this purpose shall be calculated and provided to the Administrative Agent, the relevant Loan Party and the Borrower
Representative together with the supporting calculations therefor (i) on or prior to the date on which the applicable Interest Rate Agreement, Hedging Agreement or other Permitted Hedging Arrangement is designated as a Designated Hedging
Agreement and (ii) thereafter promptly (but in any case not later than three Business Days) following (x) the last calendar day of each calendar month and (y) such other date on which a request was made by the
Administrative Agent, the relevant Loan Party or the Borrower Representative, as applicable, for 

  
 22 

 
such MTM value. Upon receipt of such MTM value of a Designated Hedging Agreement from the relevant Hedging Party, the Borrower Representative may, within three Business Days of such receipt,
notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower Representative does not agree with such MTM value provided by such Hedging Party and seek a Dealer Polling (as defined below) with respect to the relevant Designated Hedging Agreement as set forth
below. In the event the Borrower Representative does not provide such notice to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall use such MTM value in calculating the relevant portion of the Designated Hedging Reserves. Prior to any Hedging
Party providing the MTM value of an Interest Rate Agreement, Hedging Agreement or other Permitted Hedging Arrangement, the applicable Interest Rate Agreement, Hedging Agreement or other Permitted Hedging Arrangement will not be designated as a
Designated Hedging Agreement for the purposes of this Agreement, until such time as an MTM value is provided by such Hedging Party or an alternative value is provided by the Borrower Representative pursuant to a Dealer Polling. The Borrower
Representative may commence a Dealer Polling (i) at any time if a Hedging Party fails to provide an MTM value or (ii) within three Business Days of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an MTM value provided by a Hedging
Party. In the case of the immediately preceding subclause (ii), until Dealer Polling results in an alternative MTM value, the MTM value provided by the Hedging Party shall be used for purposes of calculating the Designated Hedging Reserves. If a
Hedging Party provides an MTM value in respect of the relevant Designated Hedging Agreement subsequent to the determination of an MTM value in accordance with a Dealer Polling, such MTM value so provided by the Hedging Party shall be used in
calculating the relevant portion of the Designated Hedging Reserves; provided that the Borrower Representative may disagree with such new MTM value and commence a new Dealer Polling in accordance with these provisions. A “Dealer
Polling” for purposes hereof is a procedure by which the Borrower Representative seeks mid-market quotations (which may be firm or indicative) from at least two (and not more than three) recognized dealers in Hedging Agreements of the same
or similar type of the MTM value of a Designated Hedging Agreement. In seeking such quotations, the Borrower Representative shall (x) instruct each such dealer to calculate its mid-market valuation in a manner consistent with the manner
in which such dealer would calculate such valuation for products of its own that are of the same or substantially similar type as the relevant Designated Hedging Agreement and (y) provide each such dealer with the transaction details and
other information necessary for such dealer to provide such mid-market quotation. The Borrower Representative shall provide a copy of all written communications with each such dealer and all information provided pursuant to clause (y) of the
preceding sentence to the dealers participating in the Dealer Polling to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Hedging Party. Upon notification and delivery by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent of (A) the
details and results of any such mid-market quotations from such other dealers attributable to the Designated Hedging Agreement for which such additional dealer mid-market quotations have been obtained, and (B) a certificate showing the
amount determined by calculating either (i) the arithmetic average of the valuation provided by the relevant Hedging Party and the valuations provided by each of such other dealers in the event the Borrower Representative did not agree
with the valuation provided by such Hedging Party or (ii) the arithmetic average of the valuations provided by each of such other dealers in the event the relevant Hedging Party has not provided its valuation (in either case, including
reasonable details of such calculation), the Administrative Agent shall adjust the Designated Hedging Reserves attributable to the Designated Hedging Agreement for which such additional dealer mid-market

  
 23 

 
quotations have been obtained to equal the amount provided by the Borrower Representative in preceding clause (B). In the event that (x) the Borrower Representative commenced the
Dealer Polling but no third-party dealer has provided any quotation within seven Business Days from the date on which the Borrower Representative notified the Administrative Agent of the commencement of the Dealer Polling, or (y) the
Borrower Representative has failed to commence the Dealer Polling in a situation described above, then the MTM value of the relevant Designated Hedging Agreement for purposes of the determination of the relevant portion of the Designated Hedging
Reserves shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based on the previous MTM value provided by the relevant Hedging Party. 

“Designated Noncash Consideration”: the Fair Market Value of noncash consideration received by the Parent Borrower or one of

 1.2 Other Definitional and Interpretive Provisions. Unless otherwise specified therein,
all terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any Notes, any other Loan Document or any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto. 

(a) As used herein and in any Notes and any other Loan Document, and any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto or
thereto, accounting terms relating to the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries not defined in Subsection 1.1 and accounting terms partly defined in Subsection 1.1, to the extent not defined, shall have the respective
meanings given to them under GAAP. 
 (b) The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar
import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section, Subsection, Schedule and Exhibit references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The words
“include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. 

(c) Financial ratios and other financial calculations pursuant to this Agreement, including calculations pursuant to Subsection 8.1
shall, following any transaction described in the definition of “Pro Forma Basis,” be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis until the completion of four full Fiscal Quarters following such transaction (and shall also be subject to clause
(d) below to the extent applicable). 
 (d) For purposes of determining any financial ratio or making any financial calculation for any
Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof) ending prior to the Closing Date (other than the calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense, as and to the extent set forth in the definition thereof), the components of such financial ratio or financial
calculation shall be determined on a pro forma basis to give effect to the JDL Acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of such four Fiscal Quarter period; and each Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary upon giving effect to the
Transactions shall be deemed to be a Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of the components of such financial ratio or financial calculation as of the beginning of such four Fiscal Quarter period. 

(e) For purposes of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, (i) for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, references
to the consolidated financial statements of the OpCo Borrower shall be to the Special Purpose Financial Statements and the financial statements of the OpCo Borrower as of and for the period ending October 31, 2013 (the “OpCo October
2013 Financial Statements”), as the context requires, and (ii) in connection with (x) the Special Purpose Financial Statements the OpCo October 2013 Financial Statements and the financial statements of the OpCo
Borrower as of and for the period ending December 31, 2013 (together with the OpCo October 2013 Financial Statements, the “OpCo October/December 2013 Financial Statements”), (y) other financial statements to the
extent they include comparisons to the Special Purpose Financial Statements or the OpCo October/December 2013 Financial Statements or (z) determining any financial ratio or making any financial calculation that includes a period ending
on or prior to December 31, 2013, references to GAAP shall in each case be deemed to be to GAAP except as set forth in the Basis of Presentation Agreement; provided that nothing in this clause (e) shall require the delivery of
combined or consolidated financial statements or other similar materials for or with respect to any Borrower, except as otherwise specifically required by this Agreement. 

  
 78 

 (f) Any financial ratios required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be
satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is
expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (rounding up if there is no nearest number). 
 (g) Any references
in this Agreement to “cash and/or Cash Equivalents”, “cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Temporary Cash Investments” or any similar combination of the foregoing shall be construed as not double counting cash or any other applicable
amount which would otherwise be duplicated therein. 
 (h) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both
the singular and plural forms of such terms. 
 (i) The Borrowing Base shall be calculated without duplication, including without
duplication of any reserves, items that are otherwise addressed or excluded through eligibility criteria or items that are factored into the calculation of collection rates or collection percentages. 

(j) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining compliance with
any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or Specified Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the
Borrower Representative, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or Specified Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into. For the avoidance of
doubt, if the Borrower Representative has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (j), and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition were
entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection
with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder. 
 (k) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a
Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of: 
 (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which
requires the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining compliance with the Payment Condition for
any purpose hereunder); or 
 (ii) testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of
Consolidated Total Assets); 

  
 79 

 in each case, at the option of the Borrower Representative (the Borrower Representative’s election to
exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for
such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including
any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the OpCo
Borrower are available, the OpCo Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the
Borrower Representative has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to
fluctuations in EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of the OpCo Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to
have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower Representative has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, in connection with the calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence
of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent Borrower or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the
relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on
a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. 

(l) For purposes of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, references to Consolidated Interest Expense, Consolidated Secured Leverage
Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement), Guarantee Obligations, and Indebtedness of the OpCo Borrower shall in each case be deemed to include, without duplication of any such amounts already so included, Consolidated Interest Expense,
Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement), Guarantee Obligations, and Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower, including for purposes of determining or calculating Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Debt
Service Charges, Financial Covenant Debt and Total Leverage Ratio. 
 1.3 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. The applicable
Issuing Bank shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of the face amount of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars and of L/C Disbursements in respect thereof,
including any other amounts that will be incurred, outstanding or purposed to be incurred or outstanding in connection therewith. 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 to occur. Each applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative on each Revaluation Date of the Spot Rates determined by it
and the related Dollar Equivalent of L/C Obligations then outstanding. The applicable amount of Canadian 

  
 80 

 
Dollars for purposes of under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the applicable Issuing Bank and notified to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Subsection 1.3. 
 SECTION 2 

Amount and Terms of Commitments 

2.1 Commitments. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make, at any
time and from time to time on the Closing Date to the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis as between the Borrowers), or after the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date to the OpCo Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower (or their permitted
successors hereunder) (on a joint and several basis as between the Borrowers) one or more Revolving Credit Loans, which Revolving Credit Loans: 

(i) shall be denominated in Dollars; 

(ii) shall, at the option of the Borrowers, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurodollar
Loans, provided that except as otherwise specifically provided in Subsections 4.9 and 4.10, all Revolving Credit Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type; 

(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; 

(iv) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender to the extent the incurrence thereof (after giving
effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Individual Lender Exposure of such Lender to exceed the amount of its Commitment
at such time; and 
 (v) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender to the extent the incurrence
thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Aggregate Lender Exposure to exceed the lesser of
(A) the aggregate Commitments as then in effect and (B) the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered); 

provided that all Revolving Credit Loans hereunder (x) shall be Tranche A-1 Loans unless and until the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of Revolving Credit Loans equals the Tranche A-1 Borrowing Base as then in effect (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), and (y) thereafter, shall be Tranche A Loans. A single Borrowing may consist of both
Tranche A and Tranche A-1 Loans. 

  
 81 

 (b) (I) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsection 2.1(a) or
elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish Availability Reserves (other than any Designated Hedging Reserves or Cash Management Reserves, which are provided for pursuant to clause (II) below) in such
amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against the Borrowing Base including reserves with respect to (i) sums that the Borrowers are or will
be required to pay (such as taxes (including payroll and sales taxes), assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and have not yet paid and (ii) amounts owing by
the Borrowers or, without duplication, their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the ABL Priority Collateral, which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of the
Administrative Agent is capable of ranking senior in priority to or pari passu with one or more of the Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral granted in the Security Documents (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers,
mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the ABL Priority Collateral (including any such Liens in respect of
Management Guarantees); provided that with respect to any Availability Reserve (other than any Designated Hedging Reserves or Cash Management Reserves, which are provided for pursuant to clause (II) below), the Administrative Agent shall have
provided the applicable Borrower reasonable advance notice of any such establishment; and provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may only establish an Availability Reserve after the date hereof based on an event, condition or
other circumstance arising after the Closing Date or based on facts not known to the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date. The amount of any such Availability Reserve shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other
matter that is the basis for the Availability Reserve. Upon delivery of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall be available to discuss any proposed Availability Reserve, and the Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the
event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Availability Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. In no event shall
such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Administrative Agent to establish such Availability Reserve, unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that the event, condition or other matter that is the
basis for such new Availability Reserve no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by the applicable Borrower. (II) In addition, upon the designation of any Interest Rate Agreement, Hedging Agreement or Permitted Hedging
Arrangement as a “Designated Hedging Agreement” or any Cash Management Arrangement as a “Designated Cash Management Agreement”, in each case in accordance with Subsection 11.22, the Administrative Agent shall establish a
Designated Hedging Reserve or Cash Management Reserve in an amount contemplated by the respective definition thereof relating to such Designated Hedging Agreement or Designated Cash Management Agreement; provided that no such Designated
Hedging Reserve or Cash Management Reserve shall be established if the Aggregate Lender Exposure would exceed the Borrowing Base (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) as a result thereof, after giving effect to any other changes
in the Aggregate Lender Exposure at such time, including any repayment of Revolving Credit Loans at such time. Any adjustment in any Designated Hedging Reserve or Cash Management Reserve contemplated by the respective definitions thereof shall be
immediately 

  
 82 

 
effective upon the notification to the Administrative Agent of the details and results of (x) in the case of any Designated Hedging Reserve, the applicable mid-market quotations as
provided in the penultimate sentence of the definition of “Designated Hedging Reserves” and (y) in the case of any Cash Management Reserve, the new applicable anticipated monetary obligations as provided in the final sentence
of the definition of “Cash Management Reserves”. In the event that the event, condition or other matter giving rise to the establishment of any Availability Reserve shall cease to exist (unless there is a reasonable prospect that such
event, condition or other matter will occur again within a reasonable period of time thereafter), the Availability Reserve established pursuant to such event, condition or other matter, shall be discontinued. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Availability Reserves shall not duplicate (i) eligibility criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible Accounts”, “Eligible Credit Card Receivables”, “Eligible Deere Revolving Plan
Receivables” or “Eligible Inventory” and vice versa, or (ii) reserves or criteria deducted in computing the value of Eligible Inventory (based on cost and quantity) and vice versa. 

(c) In the event the Borrowers are unable to comply with (i) the borrowing base limitations set forth in Subsection 2.1(a)
or (ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit set forth in Section 6, the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to make
Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers, which may only be made as ABR Loans (each, an “Agent Advance”) for a period commencing on the date the Administrative Agent first receives a notice of Borrowing requesting an Agent Advance
until the earliest of (i) the 30th Business Day after such date, (ii) the date the respective Borrowers or Borrower is again able to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of
Revolving Credit Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit, or obtains an amendment or waiver with respect thereto and (iii) the date the Required Lenders instruct the Administrative Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the
“Agent Advance Period”). The Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at such time the amount of such Agent Advance (A) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent
Advances made to the Borrowers at such time, would exceed 10.0% of the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (B) when added to the Aggregate Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately
prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time. It is understood and agreed that, subject to the requirements set forth above, Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent in its
discretion to the extent the Administrative Agent deems such Agent Advances necessary or desirable (x) to preserve and protect the applicable ABL Priority Collateral, or any portion thereof, (y) to enhance the likelihood of,
or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (z) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, and that the Borrowers shall have no right to require that any Agent Advances be made. 

(d) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Credit Lender made on or prior to the Closing
Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b), in order to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans, such Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note

  
 83 

 
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (each, as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Revolving Credit Note”), with
appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount, payable to such Lender and in a principal amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender to such Borrower. Each
Revolving Credit Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the Termination Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Subsection 4.1. 

2.2 Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. Each of the Borrowers may borrow under the Commitments on the Closing Date and the OpCo
Borrower and any Subsidiary Borrower (or any of their permitted successors hereunder) may borrow under the Commitments hereunder on any Business Day after the Closing Date during the Commitment Period, provided that the Borrower
Representative shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable (in the case of any notice except notice with respect to the initial Extension of Credit hereunder, which shall be irrevocable after the funding) notice in substantially the form of
Exhibit J-1 hereto or in such other form as may be agreed between the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Borrowing Request”) (which Borrower Request must be received by the Administrative Agent
prior to (1) in the case of either Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans to be borrowed on the Closing Date, 9:00 A.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), on the
Closing Date, and (2) in all other cases, (a) 2:00 P.M., New York City time, at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the
requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans or (b) 10:00 A.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion), on the requested Borrowing Date, for ABR Loans) specifying (i) the identity of a Borrower, (ii) the amount to be borrowed, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iv) whether the
borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof and (v) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the
initial Interest Periods therefor. Each borrowing shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, except any ABR Loan to be used solely to pay a like amount of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans, in
multiples of $500,000 (or, if the Commitments then available (as calculated in accordance with Subsection 2.1(a)) are less than $500,000, such lesser amount) or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (y) in the case
of Eurodollar Loans, $500,000, or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower Representative the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Credit Lender thereof.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Subsection 6.2 (or in the case of the initial Extension of Credit on the Closing Date, Subsection 6.1), each applicable Revolving Credit Lender will make the amount
of its pro rata share of each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower identified in such notice at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Subsection 11.2 prior to
12:00 P.M. (or 9:00 A.M., in the case of the initial borrowing hereunder), New York City time, or at such other office of the Administrative Agent or at such other time as to which the Administrative Agent shall notify such Borrower reasonably in
advance of the Borrowing Date with respect thereto, on the Borrowing Date requested by such Borrower and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 84 

 2.3 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower Representative (on behalf of
itself and each other applicable Borrower) shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) notice to the Administrative Agent (who
will promptly notify the Lenders), to terminate the Commitments, or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any
prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding, when added to the sum of the then outstanding L/C
Obligations, would exceed the Commitments then in effect and provided, further, that any such notice of termination delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the
specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the applicable Commitments then in effect.

 2.4 Swingline Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make swingline
loans (individually, a “Swingline Loan”; collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to any of the Borrowers from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not
to exceed $25,000,000; provided that at no time may the sum of the then outstanding Swingline Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations exceed the lesser of (1) the Commitments then in effect and (2) the
Borrowing Base then in effect (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered). Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of (x) at all times when a Dominion Event is not in existence, $100,000 and (y) at all
other times, there will be no minimum amount. Amounts borrowed by any Borrower under this Subsection 2.4 may be repaid and, through but excluding the Termination Date, reborrowed. All Swingline Loans made to any Borrower shall be made in
Dollars as ABR Loans, and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurodollar Loans. The Borrower Representative (on behalf of itself or any other Borrower as the case may be), shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable notice (which notice must
be received by the Swingline Lender prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date) specifying (1) the identity of a Borrower, (2) the amount of the requested Swingline Loan and (3) that
the Borrowing is to be of ABR Loans. The proceeds of the Swingline Loans will be made available by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower identified in such notice at an office of the Swingline Lender by crediting the account of such Borrower at such
office with such proceeds in Dollars. 
 (b) Each of the Borrowers agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by the
Swingline Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b), in order to evidence the Swingline Loans such Borrower will execute and deliver to the Swingline Lender a promissory
note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto, with appropriate insertions (as the same may be amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Swingline Note”), payable to the Swingline
Lender and representing the obligation of such Borrower to pay the amount of the Swingline Commitment or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the Swingline 

  
 85 

 
Loans made to such Borrower, with interest thereon as prescribed in Subsection 4.1. The Swingline Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature
on the Termination Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Subsection 4.1. 
 (c) The
Swingline Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, and, at any time as there shall be a Swingline Loan outstanding for more than five Business Days, the Swingline Lender shall, on behalf of the Borrower to which the Swingline
Loan has been made (which hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes such Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), request (provided that such request shall be deemed to have been automatically made upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
under Subsection 9.1(f)) each Lender, including the Swingline Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan as an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all Swingline Loans made in Dollars
(each, a “Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing”) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all of the Swingline Loans (collectively, the “Refunded Swingline
Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that the provisions of this Subsection 2.4 shall not affect the obligations of any Borrower to prepay Swingline Loans in accordance with the provisions of
Subsection 4.4(c). Unless the Commitments shall have expired or terminated (in which event the procedures of clause (d) of this Subsection 2.4 shall apply), each Lender hereby agrees to make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit
Loan (including any Eurodollar Loan) available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business
Day next succeeding the date such notice is given notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for Revolving Credit Loans otherwise required hereunder,
(ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing and
(v) the amount of the Commitment of such, or any other, Lender at such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans (including any Eurodollar Loan) shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swingline Loans. 

(d) If the Commitments shall expire or terminate at any time while Swingline Loans are outstanding, each Lender shall, at the option of the
Swingline Lender, exercised reasonably, either (i) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Commitments, make a Loan as an ABR Loan (which Revolving Credit Loan shall be deemed a “Revolving Credit Loan” for
all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or (ii) purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swingline Loans, in either case in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage determined on the
date of, and immediately prior to, expiration or termination of the Commitments of the aggregate principal amount of such Swingline Loans; provided that in the event that any Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing cannot for any reason be
made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, insolvency, receivership, administration or liquidation or similar law with
respect to any Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from such Borrower on or
after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in such outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause such Lenders to share in such 

  
 86 

 
Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Commitment Percentages, provided, further, that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the
account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and
(y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day
from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Credit Loans made as ABR
Loans. Each Lender will make the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior
to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, in Dollars in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which the Commitments expire or terminate. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay
the Swingline Loans outstanding on the date of termination or expiration of the Commitments. In the event that the Lenders purchase undivided participating interests pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (d), each Lender shall immediately
transfer to the Swingline Lender, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swingline Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of
receipt of such funds and in such amount. 
 (e) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such
Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Swingline Lender), or any
payment of interest on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will, if such payment is received prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such Lender its pro rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and
otherwise, the Swingline Lender will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was
outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by
the Swingline Lender to it. 
 (f) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans and to purchase participating interests
with respect to Swingline Loans in accordance with Subsections 2.4(c) and 2.4(d) 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 Lender or any of the Borrowers may have against the Swingline Lender, any of the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default; (iii) any adverse change in condition (financial or otherwise) of any of the Borrowers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Lender;
(v) any inability of any of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such Revolving Credit Loan is to be made or participating interest is to be purchased or
(vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

  
 87 

 2.5 Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to
the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of: (i) each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the
Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9); and (ii) the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of the Swingline Loans made to such Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date
on which the Swingline Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9). Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest (which payments shall be in Dollars) on the unpaid principal amount of such Loans from time to time
outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Subsection 4.1. 

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in
which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof, the Borrowers to which such Loan is made, each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto and whether such Loans are Revolving Credit Loans or
Swingline Loans, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each of the Borrowers to each applicable Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from each of the Borrowers and each applicable Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the
Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Subsection 2.5(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each of the Borrowers therein
recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with
applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 2.6 Incremental
Facility. (a) So long as no Specified Default exists or would arise therefrom, the Borrower Representative shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to request (i) an increase of the
aggregate amount of the then outstanding Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”) or (ii) one or more term loans (the “Incremental ABL Term Loans” and together with the Incremental Revolving
Commitments, collectively, the “Incremental Facilities” and each, an “Incremental Facility”). Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, the principal amount of any Incremental Facility shall not exceed the
Available Incremental Amount at such time. The Borrower Representative may seek to obtain Incremental Facilities from existing Lenders or other Persons, as applicable (each an “Incremental Facility Increase,” and each Person
extending, or Lender extending, 

  
 88 

 
Incremental Facilities, an “Additional Lender”), provided, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Facility Increase as
a result of any such request by the Borrower Representative, and (ii) any Additional Lender which is not an existing Lender shall be subject to the approval of, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving
Commitments, the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Borrowers (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Incremental Facility Increase shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000
and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Any Incremental Facility Increase may be denominated in Dollars. 
 (b) (i) Any
Incremental ABL Term Loans (A) may not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower other than the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu (or, at the option of the Borrower Representative, junior) in right of
(x) priority with respect to the Collateral and (y) payment with respect to the Obligations in respect of the Commitments and any existing Incremental ABL Term Loans, (B) shall be part of, and count against, the
Borrowing Base, (C) shall not have a final maturity that is earlier than the Termination Date, (D) shall not amortize at a rate greater than 1.0% per annum, (E) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated
no more favorably than the Loans, (F) may not be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that do not also secure the Loans and (G) shall otherwise be on terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Any Incremental Revolving Commitments (A) shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors and
shall rank pari passu in right of (x) priority with respect to the Collateral and (y) payment with respect to the Obligations in respect of the Commitments in effect prior to the Incremental Revolving Commitment Effective
Date and (B) shall be on terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the existing Commitments; provided that the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margin relating to the Incremental Revolving Commitments may
exceed the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margin relating to the Commitments in effect prior to the Incremental Revolving Commitment Effective Date so long as the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margins relating to all
Revolving Credit Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margin payable to the Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments. 

(iii) The Incremental Facilities may be in the form of a separate “first-in,
last-out” tranche (the “FILO Tranche”) with a separate borrowing base against the ABL Priority Collateral and interest rate margins in each case to be agreed upon (which, for the
avoidance of doubt, shall not require any adjustment to the Applicable Margin of other Loans pursuant to clause (ii) above) among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing the FILO Tranche so long as
(1) any loans under the FILO Tranche may not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower other than the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu (or, at the option of the Borrower Representative, junior) in right of priority
with respect to the Collateral; (2) if availability under the FILO Tranche exceeds $0, any Extension of Credit under the Revolving Credit Facility thereafter requested shall be made under the FILO Tranche until the FILO

  
 89 

 
Tranche availability no longer exceeds $0; (3) as between (x) the Revolving Credit Facility (other than the FILO Tranche), the Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless otherwise
agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) and the Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Cash Management Agreements and (y) the FILO Tranche, all proceeds from the liquidation or other
realization of the Collateral (including ABL Priority Collateral) shall be applied, first to obligations owing under, or with respect to, the Revolving Credit Facility (other than the FILO Tranche), the Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless
otherwise agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) and such Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Cash Management Agreements and second to the FILO Tranche; (4) no Borrower may prepay
Revolving Credit Loans under the FILO Tranche or terminate or reduce the commitments in respect thereof at any time that other Loans and/or Reimbursement Obligations (unless cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) or Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) are outstanding; (5) the Required Lenders (calculated as including
Lenders under the Incremental Facilities and the FILO Tranche) shall, subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, control exercise of remedies in respect of the Collateral and (6) no changes affecting the priority
status of the Revolving Credit Facility (other than the FILO Tranche) or the Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) vis-à-vis the FILO Tranche may be made
without the consent of the Required Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, other than such changes which affect only the FILO Tranche, or only the Incremental ABL Term Loans, as the case may be. 

(c) No Incremental Facility Increase shall become effective unless and until each of the following conditions have been satisfied: 

(i) The Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, and any Additional Lender shall have executed and delivered a
joinder to the Loan Documents (“Lender Joinder Agreement”) in substantially the form of Exhibit L hereto; 

(ii) The Borrowers shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the Additional Lenders and to the Administrative Agent
as the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and such Additional Lenders shall agree; 
 (iii) The Borrower
Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent from counsel to the Borrower Representative reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and dated such date; 

  
 90 

 (iv) A Revolving Credit Note (to the extent requested) will be issued at the
applicable Borrowers’ expense, to each such Additional Lender, to be in conformity with requirements of Subsection 2.1(d) (with appropriate modification) to the extent necessary to reflect the new Commitment of each Additional Lender;

 (v) The Borrower Representative shall deliver a certificate certifying that (A) the representations and
warranties made by the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries contained herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Incremental Facility Closing Date, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing; and 

(vi) The applicable Borrowers and Additional Lenders shall have delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements as
the Administrative Agent may reasonably have requested in order to effectuate the documentation of the foregoing. 
 (d) (i) In the case of
any Incremental Facility Increase constituting Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility Increase (with each date of such effectiveness being
referred to herein as an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Effective Date”), and at such time (i) the Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such
Incremental Revolving Commitments, (ii) Schedule A shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised Commitments and Commitment Percentages of the Lenders and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed
amended, without further action, to the extent necessary to reflect any such Incremental Revolving Commitments. 
 (ii) In
the case of any Incremental Facility Increase, the Administrative Agent, the Additional Lenders and the Borrowers agree to enter into any amendment required to incorporate the addition of the Incremental Facilities, the pricing of the Incremental
Facilities, the maturity date of the Incremental Facilities and such other amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection therewith. The Lenders hereby irrevocably
authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments. 
 (e) In connection with the Incremental Facility Increases hereunder,
the Lenders and the Borrowers agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the applicable Borrowers shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (x) repay applicable outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans of certain Lenders, and obtain applicable Revolving Credit Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Additional Lenders), or (y) take such other actions as reasonably may be required by the Administrative
Agent to the extent necessary so that the Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, pro rata on the basis of their Commitment 

  
 91 

 
Percentages (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Subsection 2.6), and (ii) the applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders any
costs of the type referred to in Subsection 4.12 in connection with any repayment and/or Revolving Credit Loans required pursuant to the preceding clause (i). Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this
Subsection 2.6, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to minimize the costs of the type referred to in Subsection 4.12 which the Borrowers would otherwise incur in
connection with the implementation of an increase in the Commitments. 
 2.7 Refinancing Amendments. (a) So long as no Specified
Default exists or would arise therefrom, at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender, any Additional Lender or any other Person, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Facility (which for
purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding (w) Other ABL Term Loans, (x) Incremental ABL Term Loans, (y) Other Revolving Credit Loans and (z) Loans provided against
the Incremental Revolving Commitments, but will exclude the commitments in respect of the FILO Tranche unless (1) the Loans comprising the FILO Tranche are the only Loans outstanding and (2) the Commitments for the Revolving
Credit Facility (excluding the FILO Tranche) have been terminated) in the form of (i) one or more Other ABL Term Loans or Other ABL Term Commitments, (ii) one or more Other Revolving Credit Loans or Other Revolving Credit
Commitments, or (iii) in the case of the FILO Tranche, a new “first-in, last-out” tranche, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. Each Tranche of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred
under this Subsection 2.7 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 in the case of Other ABL Term Loans or Other Revolving Credit Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $5,000,000
in excess thereof. 
 (b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of
the conditions set forth in Subsection 6.2(a) and 6.2(b) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or
reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Subsection 6.1 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion). Any
Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower, or the provision to the Borrowers of Swingline Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Credit Commitments established thereby, in each case on
terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under the Commitments. 
 (c) The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended
to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as
Other ABL Term Loans, Other Revolving Credit Loans, Other Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Other ABL Term Commitments). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Refinancing Amendment to effect such
amendments to this Agreement 

  
 92 

 
and the other Loan Documents and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the
provisions of this Subsection 2.7. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Lender, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Termination Date shall be partially
or entirely reallocated from Lenders holding Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon
receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted
accordingly. 
 2.8 Extension of Commitments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or
more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower Representative to all Revolving Credit Lenders of Commitments with a like maturity date, or all lenders with ABL Term Loans with a like maturity date,
in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate from
time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, and otherwise modify the terms of such
Commitments or ABL Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of, or changing the amortization or prepayment provisions of, such Commitments (and related
outstandings) or ABL Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, as so extended, as well as the original Commitments or ABL Term Loans (not so extended), as applicable, being a
“tranche”; any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Commitments from the tranche of Commitments from which they were converted and any Extended ABL Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of ABL Term
Loans from the tranche of ABL Term Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity, amortization and prepayment provisions (which shall be
determined by the Borrower Representative and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), (x) the Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Commitment (an “Extending Revolving
Credit Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original
Commitments (and related outstandings) and (y) the ABL Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such ABL Term Loans (an “Extending ABL Term Lender” and together with any Extending Revolving
Credit Lender, if any, collectively, “Extending Lenders”) pursuant to an Extension (“Extended ABL Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the original ABL Term Loans; provided that (x) subject
to the provisions of Section 3 and Subsection 2.4 to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity
date, all Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their Commitment Percentage of the Commitments and all borrowings under Commitments and repayments
thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis 

  
 93 

 
(except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the maturity
date of the non-extending Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Commitments) which have more than two different maturity dates, unless otherwise
agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (including agreements as to additional administrative fees to be paid by the Borrowers), and (ii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless
waived by the Borrowers. 
 (b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Subsection 2.8,
(i) such Extensions shall not constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Subsection 4.4 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment,
provided that the Borrower Representative may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant
Extension Offer in the Borrower Representative’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower Representative) of Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, of any or all applicable Tranches be extended. The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Subsection 2.8 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended ABL Term
Loans, as applicable, on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Subsections 4.4 and 4.8) or any other Loan Document that may
otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Subsection 2.8. 
 (c) No consent of any Lender
or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to its Commitments or ABL Term Loans (or a portion thereof) and
(B) with respect to any Extension of the Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended
ABL Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches
in respect of Commitments or ABL Term Loans so extended, permit the repayment of non-extending Loans on the Termination Date and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower Representative in connection therewith, in each case on terms consistent with this Subsection 2.8. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and
the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then latest maturity date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest maturity date (or such later date as may be advised by local
counsel to the Administrative Agent). 

  
 94 

 (d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower Representative shall provide the
Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing,
rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably
to accomplish the purposes of this Subsection 2.8. 
 (e) Following any Extension, with the consent of the Borrower Representative,
any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its existing Commitments or ABL Term Loans deemed to be an Extended Revolving Commitment or Extended ABL Term Loan, as applicable under the applicable extended tranche on any date (each
date a “Designation Date”) prior to the maturity date or termination date, as applicable, of such extended tranche; provided that (i) such Lender shall have provided written notice to the Borrower Representative
and the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days prior to such Designation Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) and (ii) no more than three Designation Dates may occur in
any one-year period without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Following a Designation Date, the existing Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be an Extended
Revolving Commitment or Extended ABL Term Loan, as applicable, and any existing Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be existing Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as
applicable. 
 2.9 Canadian Facility. 

Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 2.9 hereto, each Lender severally agrees, as part of and as a
sub-facility under, its Commitment hereunder (but without increasing such Commitment), to make available hereunder (directly or through a lending affiliate of such Lender) to the Canadian Borrowers, at any time and from time to time on or after the
Canadian Facility Effective Date and prior to the Termination Date, its pro rata share of the Canadian Facility. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into an amendment to, or amend and restate, this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents to make such amendments as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the provisions of this Subsection 2.9 and Schedule
2.9 hereto (such amendment or amendment and restatement, the “Canadian Facility Amendment”). 
 SECTION 3 

Letters of Credit 
 3.1
L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Subsection 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the
letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 3, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the applicable Borrower or (if required by the applicable Issuing Lender, so
long as a Borrower 

  
 95 

 
is a co-applicant and jointly and severally liable thereunder) any Restricted Subsidiary on any Business Day during the Commitment Period but in no event later than the fifth day prior to the
Termination Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the aggregate Extensions of Credit to the
Borrowers would exceed the applicable limitations set forth in Subsection 2.1, (ii) the L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit would exceed $20,000,000 or (iii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit of all the
Revolving Credit Lenders would exceed the Commitments of all the Revolving Credit Lenders then in effect. 
 (b) Each Letter of Credit shall
be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars and shall be either (i) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, which finance or
otherwise arise in connection with the working capital and business needs of the Parent Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, and for general corporate purposes, of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (ii) a
commercial letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods or services by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and, in the case of clause (B) below, the
Administrative Agent, expire no later than the earlier of (A) one year after its date of issuance and (B) the fifth Business Day prior to the Termination Date; provided that, notwithstanding any extension of the
Termination Date pursuant to Subsection 2.8, unless otherwise agreed, no Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue a Letter of Credit that expires beyond the non-extended Termination Date. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsection 3.1(b), if the Borrower Representative so requests in any L/C Request, the
applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal L/C”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal L/C must permit
the applicable Issuing Lender to prevent any such renewal at least once in each 12-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 in each such
12-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Lender, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Lender for any such
renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal L/C has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an extended expiry date not later
than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of such renewal and (ii) the fifth Business Day prior to the Termination Date; provided that such Issuing Lender shall not permit any such renewal if (x) such
Issuing Lender 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 Subsection 3.2(c) or otherwise), or (y) it has
received notice on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date which has been agreed upon pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this clause (c), (1) from the Administrative Agent that any Lender directly
affected thereby has elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6 are not then satisfied, or that the
issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Subsection 3.1. 

  
 96 

 (d) Each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Lender shall be deemed to constitute a utilization
of the Commitments, and shall be participated in (as more fully described in the following Subsection 3.4) by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. All Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall be issued for
the account of the applicable Borrower or (if required by the applicable Issuing Lender, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and jointly and severally liable thereunder) any Subsidiary. 

(e) Unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrower Representative, each Letter of Credit shall be governed by, and
shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and to the extent not prohibited by such laws, the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and the Uniform Customs shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
The ISP shall not in any event apply to this Agreement. 
 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower
Representative may, from time to time during the Commitment Period but in no event later than the 30th day prior to the Termination Date, request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender and the
Administrative Agent at its address for notices specified herein, an L/C Request therefor in the form of Exhibit J-2 hereto (completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender), and such other certificates, documents and other
papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any L/C Request, such Issuing Lender will process such L/C Request 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 an Issuing Lender be required, unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender, to issue any Letter of
Credit earlier than five Business Days after its receipt of the L/C Request therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary
thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower Representative. The applicable Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower Representative promptly following the issuance thereof. No
Issuing Lender shall amend, cancel or waive presentation of any Letter of Credit, or replace any lost, mutilated or destroyed Letter of Credit, without the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative. Upon the issuance of any Letter of
Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each Lender, thereof, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy
of such Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Subsection 3.4. If the applicable Issuing
Lender is not the same person as the Administrative Agent, on the first Business Day of each calendar month, such Issuing Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent a report listing all outstanding Letters of Credit and the amounts and
beneficiaries thereof and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such report to each Lender. 
 (b) The making of each request for
a Letter of Credit by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower Representative that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Subsection
3.1. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable 

  
 97 

 
conditions specified in Section 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Subsection 3.1, then such Issuing Lender may issue the
requested Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. 

(c) No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if 

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any banking regulatory authority with jurisdiction over
such Issuing Lender shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally, or 
 (ii) the issuance of such Letter of
Credit would violate one or more existing (as of the date hereof) policies of such Issuing Lender consistently applied by such Issuing Lender to borrowers generally. 

3.3 Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent a letter of credit commission
with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender on its behalf, computed for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate
per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Loans that are Tranche A Loans calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year, of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein. Such commission shall be payable to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Each Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender with respect to each
Letter of Credit a fee equal to 0.125% per annum of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit or such other amounts as may be agreed by such Borrower and such Issuing Lender, payable
quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Termination Date or such other date as the Commitments shall terminate calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
Such commissions and fees shall be nonrefundable. Such fees and commissions shall be payable in Dollars. 
 (b) In addition to the foregoing
commissions and fees, each Borrower agrees to pay amounts necessary to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under,
amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender within 10 days after demand therefor. 
 (c) The
Administrative Agent shall, promptly following any receipt thereof, distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender and the applicable Lenders all commissions and fees received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this
Subsection 3.3.

 3.4 L/C Participations. (a) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to
a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Lenders, each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such
Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, or expiration, termination or cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever. All calculations of the Lenders’ Commitment Percentages shall be made from time to time by the Administrative Agent, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(b) If the Borrowers fail to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender on the due date as provided in Subsection 3.5, such Issuing Lender
shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Each
Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on
any day, not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day), the Dollar Equivalent of an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed L/C Disbursement in the same manner as provided in
Subsection 2.2 with respect to Loans made by such Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the
applicable Issuing Lender any amounts received by it from the Borrowers pursuant to the above clause (a) prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative
Agent from the Borrowers thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lender that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Lender, as appropriate. 

(c) If any Lender shall not have made its Commitment Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided
above, each of such Lender and each Borrower severally agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid,
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender at (i) in the case of Borrower, the rate per annum set forth in Subsection 3.5(b) and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation. 

  
 99 

 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. (a) Each Issuing Lender shall promptly
notify the Borrower Representative of any presentation of a draft under any Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, upon receipt by the Borrower Representative of notice from the applicable Issuing Lender of
the date and the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued on its behalf and paid by such Issuing Lender (an “L/C Disbursement”), for the amount of such draft so paid and any taxes, fees,
charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the applicable Issuing Lender, at its address for notices specified herein, in Dollars in immediately
available funds, no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date which is one Business Day (or, if the Facility is fully drawn on such date and the applicable Borrower does not have sufficient cash on hand to make such payment, two Business
Days) after the date on which the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if received prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City Time, on a Business Day and otherwise, no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business
Day; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Subsection 2.2 that such payment be financed with ABR Loans or Swingline Loans in an equivalent amount and, to
the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Loans or Swingline Loans. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars with respect to a Letter of Credit
denominated in Canadian Dollars, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower Representative of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the draft so paid promptly following determination thereof. 

(b) Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrowers under this Subsection 3.5(b) from the date the
draft presented under the affected Letter of Credit is paid to the date on which the applicable Borrower is required to pay such amounts pursuant to clause (a) above at the rate which would then be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are
Revolving Credit Loans and thereafter until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans which were then overdue. 

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of Borrowers as provided in Subsection 3.5 shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by any Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff
against, the obligations of Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results of operations, prospects or condition,
financial or otherwise, of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or any of their affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the
issuance 

  
 100 

 
or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error,
omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct
damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to
exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the
applicable Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality
thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make
payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the
terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 3.7 L/C Disbursements. The applicable Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative of such demand for payment and
whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to such Issuing Lender and the
Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Subsection 3.5). 

3.8 L/C Request. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of
any L/C Request or other application or agreement submitted by any Borrower or any Subsidiary, to, or entered into by any Borrower or any Subsidiary with, any Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control. 
 3.9 Cash Collateralization. If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Borrowers shall then
deposit on terms and in accounts satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon. Funds so deposited shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be applied to satisfy
other Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. 

  
 101 

 3.10 Additional Issuing Lenders. The Borrower Representative may, at any time and from
time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing lender under the terms of this
Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing lender pursuant to this Subsection 3.10 shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such
Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders and such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such additional Issuing Lender. If at any
time there is more than one Issuing Lender hereunder, the Borrower Representative may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Lender is to issue any particular Letter of Credit. 

3.11 Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may resign as Issuing Lender hereunder at any time upon at least
30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, each Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and
the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such resignation or replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such resignation of an Issuing Lender shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all
unpaid fees accrued for the account of the retiring Issuing Lender pursuant to Subsection 3.3. From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights
and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to
any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context requires. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Lender, the retiring or replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

SECTION 4 
 General Provisions
Applicable to Loans and Letters of Credit 
 4.1 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 

(b) Each ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall bear interest for each day that it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate
Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 
 (c) If all or a portion of (i) the
principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any commitment fee, letter of credit commission, letter of credit fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the
Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 

  
 102 

 
(x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of this Subsection 4.1 plus
2.00%, (y) in the case of overdue interest, the rate that would be otherwise applicable to principal of the related Loan pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of this Subsection 4.1 (other than clause (x) above)
plus 2.00% and (z) in the case of, fees, commissions or other amounts, the rate described in clause (b) of this Subsection 4.1 for ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans accruing interest at the Alternate Base Rate
plus 2.00%, in each case from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before any judgment relating thereto). 

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to clause (c) of
this Subsection 4.1 shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 (e) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly
with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in connection with the
indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any Notes, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by
applicable usury laws. 
 4.2 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Subject to its obligations pursuant to Subsection
4.12(c), the applicable Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Revolving Credit Loans from Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by the Borrower Representative giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election
prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time two Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to such election. The Borrower Representative may elect from time to time to convert
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans from ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by the Borrower Representative giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time at least three Business Days (or such
shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor.
Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that
(i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default (other than any Default under
Subsection 9.1(f)), the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower Representative that no such conversions may be made and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan after the date that is one month prior to
the applicable Termination Date. 
 (b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto by the Borrower Representative giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest
Period” set forth in Subsection 1.1, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) (unless 

  
 103 

 
the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default (other than any Default under Subsection
9.1(f)), the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower Representative that no such continuations may be made or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the applicable Termination Date, and provided,
further, that if the Borrower Representative shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this clause (b) or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurodollar Loans shall be
automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this Subsection 4.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected
Lender thereof. 
 4.3 Minimum Amounts; Maximum Sets. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all
selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Set shall be equal to $500,000 or a
whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and so that there shall not be more than 10 Sets at any one time outstanding. 
 4.4
Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Each of the Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans made to it and the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account, in whole or in
part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty, upon notice by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed
by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date of prepayment (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) or prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable
discretion) on the date of prepayment (in the case of (x) ABR Loans, (y) Swingline Loans and (z) Reimbursement Obligations outstanding in Dollars). Such notice shall be irrevocable except as provided in
Subsection 4.4(g). Such notice shall specify, in the case of any prepayment of Loans, the identity of the prepaying Borrower, the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is (i) of Revolving Credit Loans or
Swingline Loans, or a combination thereof, and (ii) of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, or a combination thereof, and, in each case if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each and, in the case of any prepayment of
Reimbursement Obligations, the date and amount of prepayment, the identity of the applicable Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit and the amount allocable to each of such Reimbursement Obligations. Upon the receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall (subject to Subsection 4.4(g)) be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (if
a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to Subsection 4.12, the Revolving Credit Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to this Section and shall
(unless the Borrower Representative otherwise directs) be applied, first, to payment of the Swingline Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, third, to payment of any
Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, and last, to cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligation on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Partial prepayments pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(a) shall be in
multiples of $250,000, as applicable; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan may be prepaid in its entirety. 

  
 104 

 (b) On any day (other than during an Agent Advance Period) on which the Aggregate Lender Exposure
or the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the Borrowers exceeds the Borrowing Base (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or the aggregate Commitments at such time, the Borrowers shall prepay on such
day the principal of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations exceeds the Borrowing Base at
such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to such
L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and
under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) The Borrowers shall prepay all Swingline Loans then outstanding
simultaneously with each borrowing by them of Revolving Credit Loans. 
 (d) Prepayments pursuant to Subsection 4.4(b) shall be
applied, first, to prepay Swingline Loans then outstanding, second, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, third, to pay any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, and last, to cash collateralize all L/C
Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) For avoidance of doubt, the Commitments shall not be
correspondingly reduced by the amount of any prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans, payments of Reimbursement Obligations and cash collateralizations of L/C Obligations, in each case, made under Subsection 4.4(b). 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 4.4, if at any time any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to
Subsection 4.4(a) or 4.4(b) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in any Borrower incurring breakage costs under Subsection 4.12 as a result of Eurodollar Loans being prepaid other than
on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the relevant Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, initially (i) deposit a portion (up to
100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurodollar Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurodollar Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as
security for the obligations of such Borrowers to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the
first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by such Borrower) or (ii) make a prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in
accordance with Subsection 4.4(a) with an amount equal to a portion (up to 100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurodollar Loans (which prepayment, together with any deposits pursuant to clause
(i) above, must be 

  
 105 

 
equal in amount to the amount of such Eurodollar Loans not immediately prepaid); provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Borrowers may
request any Extension of Credit under the Commitments that would reduce Excess Availability to an amount that is less than the amount of such prepayment until the related portion of such Eurodollar Loans have been prepaid upon the first occurrence
thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Loans; provided further, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) above, such unpaid Eurodollar Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance
with Subsection 4.1 until such unpaid Eurodollar Loans or the related portion of such Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, have or has been prepaid. 

(g) If a notice of prepayment in connection with a repayment of all outstanding Loans is given in connection with a conditional notice of
termination of Commitments as contemplated by Subsection 2.3, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Subsection 2.3. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Subsection 4.4 may be amended (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize
the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendments) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of Loans added pursuant to Subsections
2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable. 
 4.5 Commitment Fees; Administrative Agent’s Fee; Other Fees. (a) Each
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee for the period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to the Termination Date, computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on
the average daily amount of the Unutilized Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the
Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. 

(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees set forth in the last paragraph under the heading “Facilities
Fees” of the Fee Letter on the payment dates set forth therein (without duplication of fees paid to the Term Loan Agent pursuant to such section of the Fee Letter). 

4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest (other than interest based on the Base Rate) shall be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees and interest based on the Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year, as the case may be) for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent
shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Representative and the affected Lenders of each determination of an Adjusted LIBOR Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Statutory
Reserves shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Representative and the affected Lenders of the effective date
and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 

  
 106 

 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on each of the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower Representative or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower
Representative or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Subsection 4.1, excluding any LIBOR Rate which is based upon the Reuters
Monitor Money Rates Service page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Alternate Base Rate. 
 (c) Upon the request of the Administrative
Agent, each Reference Bank agrees that, if such Reference Bank is currently providing quotes for United States Dollar deposits to lending banks in the London interbank market, it will promptly (and no later than the Business Day following any such
request) supply the Administrative Agent with the rate quoted by such Reference Bank to lending banks in the London interbank market two Business Days before the first day of the relevant Interest Period for United States Dollar deposits of a
duration equal to the duration of such Interest Period. 
 4.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If, prior to the first day of
any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to any Eurodollar Loan for such Interest Period (the “Affected Eurodollar Rate”), the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower
Representative and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (a) any Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Eurodollar Rate requested to be made on the first day of
such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans and (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the
Affected Eurodollar Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurodollar
Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any of the Borrowers have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurodollar Rate. 

4.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans
(other than Swingline Loans) by any of the applicable Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder shall be made, each payment by any of the Borrowers on account of any commitment fee in respect of the Commitments hereunder shall be allocated by the
Administrative Agent and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, as applicable, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent in each case pro rata according to the Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Except as expressly otherwise
provided herein, each payment (including each prepayment (but excluding payments made pursuant to Subsection 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 4.5(b), 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13(d), 4.15(c),
8.6(b)(ii) (to the extent declined by a Lender or the Administrative Agent) or 11.1(g))) by any of the applicable Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on any Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative
Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such 

  
 107 

 
Revolving Credit Loans then held by the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, and each payment on account of principal of and interest on any loans made pursuant to any Tranche established after the
date of this Agreement shall be allocated pro rata (or as may otherwise be provided for in the applicable amendment to this Agreement relating to such Tranche) among the Lenders with Incremental Revolving Commitments in respect thereof or with
participations in such Tranche (in each case subject to any limitations on non-pro rata payments otherwise provided for in Subsection 2.6(b)(i)(E) or 2.6(b)(ii)). All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any of the Borrowers
hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, Reimbursement Obligations or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made on or prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan
Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion)) on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders holding the relevant Loans, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, or the Other Representatives, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Subsection 11.2,
in Dollars in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to such Lenders or Other
Representatives, as the case may be, if any such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall distribute
such payment to such Lenders or Other Representatives, as the case may be, on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the
maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. This Subsection 4.8(a) may be
amended in accordance with Subsection 11.1(d) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new Tranches added pursuant to Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and
2.8, as applicable. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing
that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and
the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on
the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount
immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Subsection 4.8(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such

  
 108 

 
Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower Representative of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum
applicable to ABR Loans hereunder on demand from such Borrower and (y) then such Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or remedies it may have against such Lender hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise, borrow a
like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing available; provided that at the time such borrowing is made and at all times while such amount
is outstanding such Borrower would be permitted to borrow such amount pursuant to Subsection 2.1. 
 4.9 Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof in each case occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or
maintain any Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent
(which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall
forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan (or a Swingline Loan) when an Affected Loan is
requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Affected Loans or
within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion or prepayment of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such
Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Subsection 4.12. 
 4.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender or any Issuing Lender, or compliance by any Lender or any Issuing Lender with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender or such Issuing Lender becomes an Issuing Lender): 

(i) shall subject such Lender or such Issuing Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit,
any L/C Request or any Eurodollar Loans made or maintained by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, in each case, except for Non-Excluded Taxes,
Taxes imposed by FATCA and Taxes measured by or imposed upon net income, or franchise Taxes, or Taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch Taxes (in the case of such capital, net worth or branch Taxes, imposed in lieu
of such net income Tax), of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof; 

  
 109 

 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not
otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or 
 (iii) shall impose on such Lender or such Issuing
Lender any other condition (excluding any Tax of any kind whatsoever); 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or
such Issuing Lender, by an amount which such Lender or such Issuing Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans, or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower Representative from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith, the applicable Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such
Issuing Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, or Letters of Credit, provided that, in any such case,
such Borrower may elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion) notice of such election, in which case such Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(a)
and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Subsection 4.12. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(a), it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower
Representative, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this clause (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost
or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this Subsection 4.10(a) submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection
4.10(a), the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender (i) pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(a) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative
of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the adoption of or change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then provided such Lender shall, within six months of such adoption, change, interpretation or application, have notified the Borrower Representative of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, the six-month period first referred
to in this sentence shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) and (ii) for any increased costs, if such Lender is applying this provision to the Borrowers in a manner that is inconsistent with its application
of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder. 

  
 110 

 (b) If any Lender or any Issuing Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change
in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Issuing Lender with any request
or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation
could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such
Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 10 Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Borrower Representative (through the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the
events described in this clause (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the
additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or such Issuing Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(b) submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower Representative
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection 4.10(b), the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender (i) pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(b)
for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the adoption of or change in any Requirement of Law
or in the interpretation or application thereof giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then provided such Lender shall, within six months of such adoption, change, interpretation or application, have notified the Borrower
Representative of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, the six-month period first referred to in this sentence shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) and (ii) for any increased
costs, if such Lender is applying this provision to the Borrowers in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers. This
covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith and all
requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to
Basel III, in each case shall be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date for all purposes herein. 

  
 111 

 4.11 Taxes. (a) Except as provided below in this Subsection 4.11 or as
required by law (which, for purposes of this Subsection 4.11, shall include FATCA), all payments made by the Borrowers or the Agents under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for
or on account of any Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so
payable by such Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify for, any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by any Borrower to or for the
account of any Agent or Lender shall not be increased (x) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of clause (b), (c) or (d) of this Subsection 4.11 or with the requirements of Subsection
4.13, or (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a Change in Law, or (z) with
respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after such Agent became an
Agent hereunder or such Lender became a Lender hereunder (or, if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender became
such a beneficiary or member, if later) (any such change, at such time, a “Change in Law”). Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by any Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower Representative shall send to
the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the respective Lender or Agent, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If any Borrower fails to pay
any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or the Borrower Representative fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Agents for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this
Subsection 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

(b) Each Agent and each Lender that is not a United States Person shall: 

(i) (1) on or before the date of any payment by any of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes to, or for the account
of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (A) two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (certifying that it is a resident of the applicable country
within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country) or Forms W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case certifying that it is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and
any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (B) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup
withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes; 

  
 112 

 (2) deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two
further accurate and complete original signed forms or certifications provided in Subsection 4.11(b)(i)(1) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to the Borrower Representative; 
 (3) obtain such
extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent; and 

(4) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower Representative, to the Borrower
Representative and the Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement
and any Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (4) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by any Loan Party) which would be imposed on such Lender of
complying with such request; or 
 (ii) in the case of any such Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, 
 (1)
represent to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it is not (A) a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; 

(2) deliver to the Borrower Representative on or before the date of any payment by any of the Borrowers with a copy to the
Administrative Agent, (A) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two accurate and complete original signed
Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such form to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions
of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes and (C) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be certifying that it is entitled
to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes (and shall also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two further accurate and complete original
signed 

  
 113 

 
forms or certificates on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form or certificate and, if
necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms or certificates); and 

(3) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower Representative, to the Borrower
Representative and the Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement
and any Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (3) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by the Borrower Representative) which would be imposed on
such Lender of complying with such request; or 
 (iii) in the case of any such Agent or Lender that is a non-U.S.
intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, 
 (1) on or before the date of any payment by any
of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes to, or for the account of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8IMY
and, if any beneficiary or member of such Lender is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, (I) represent to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that such Lender is not (A) a bank within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (II) also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of
such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes; and 

(A) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender that is not claiming the so-called “portfolio
interest exemption”, also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (I) two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (certifying that such beneficiary or member is a
resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case so that each such beneficiary or
member is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (II) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be,
certifying that each 

  
 114 

 
such beneficiary or member is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to all payments under this Agreement and any Notes; and 

(B) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender that is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest
exemption”, (I) represent to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that such beneficiary or member is not (1) a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent

the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates from each beneficiary or member and two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, or successor applicable form,
certifying to such beneficiary’s or member’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to
payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes, and (III) also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that it is
entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes; 

(2) deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two further accurate and complete original signed
forms, certificates or certifications referred to above on or before the date any such form, certificate or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or any beneficiary or member changes, and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
the most recently provided form, certificate or certification and obtain such extensions of time reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms, certificates or certifications;
and 
 (3) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower Representative, to the
Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Agent or Lender (or beneficiary or member) to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (3) such Agent or Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by
any of the Borrowers) which would be imposed on such Agent or Lender (or beneficiary or member) of complying with such request; 
 unless in any such case
(other than with respect to United States backup withholding tax) there has been a Change in Law which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Agent or such Lender (or such beneficiary or member) from duly completing and
delivering any such form with respect to it and such Agent or such Lender so advises the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent. 

  
 115 

 (c) Each Lender and each Agent, in each case that is a United States Person, shall on or before
the date of any payment by any Borrower under this Agreement or any Notes to such Lender or Agent, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, or
successor form, certifying that such Lender or Agent is a United States Person and that such Lender or Agent is entitled to complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is not a United States Person, on or before the date of any payment by any of
the Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall: 
 (i) deliver
to the Borrower Representative (A) two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account,
(B) two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8IMY, or successor applicable form, with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a
“U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the
Borrowers to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such payments (and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person with respect to such payments as contemplated by U.S. Treasury
Regulation § 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)) or (C) such other forms or certifications as may be sufficient under applicable law to establish that the Administrative Agent is entitled to receive any payment by any of the Borrowers under this
Agreement or any Notes (whether for its own account or for the account of others) without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes; 

(ii) deliver to the Borrower Representative two further accurate and complete original signed forms or certifications provided
in Subsection 4.11(d)(i) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to the
Borrower Representative; and 
 (iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications
as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent; 
 unless in any such case (other than with respect to United
States backup withholding tax) there has been a Change in Law which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent the Administrative Agent from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and the Administrative Agent
so advises the Borrower Representative. 

  
 116 

 (e) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, at the time or times prescribed by law
and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative, such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the
Borrower Representative as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to comply with their respective obligations (including any applicable reporting requirements) under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with
such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to withhold any Taxes imposed by FATCA. 

(f) For purposes of this Section 4.11 and for purposes of Section 4.13, the term “Lender” includes any
Issuing Lender. 
 4.12 Indemnity. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Lender in respect of Extensions of
Credit made, or requested to be made, to the Borrowers and to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision) as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, after the Borrower
Representative has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower Representative has
given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans or the conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period
with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for
the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that
would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of
interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. If any Lender becomes entitled
to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this Subsection 4.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described
in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the
amount for which such Lender seeks 

  
 117 

 
indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this Subsection 4.12 submitted by such
Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower Representative shall pay (or cause the relevant Borrower to pay) such Lender the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within five Business Days after receipt thereof. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

4.13 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) Upon the request, and at the expense of the Borrower
Representative, each Lender and Agent to which any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Subsection 4.10 or 4.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably
afford the Borrower Representative the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower Representative in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such
Lender or Agent shall not be required to afford the Borrower Representative the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower Representative shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender or Agent such Borrower’s obligation to pay such amounts
pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrowers shall reimburse such Lender or Agent for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower Representative in
contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender or Agent shall be required to afford the Borrower Representative the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the
Borrower Representative in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Lender or Agent in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it. 

(b) If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than (i) pursuant to clause (c) below or (ii) after
an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause any of the Borrowers to become obligated to pay any additional amount
under Subsection 4.10 or 4.11, such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount. 
 (c) If a condition or an
event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender or Agent by any of the Borrowers pursuant to Subsection 4.10 or 4.11 or result in Affected
Loans or commitments to make Affected Loans being automatically converted to ABR Loans or commitments to make ABR Loans, as the case may be, pursuant to Subsection 4.9, such Lender or Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative
and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through
another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender or Agent shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it
to incur additional costs (unless the Borrowers agree to reimburse such Lender or Agent for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof). 

  
 118 

 (d) If any of the Borrowers shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to
Subsection 4.10 or 4.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under Subsection 4.10 or 4.11 or if Affected Loans or commitments to make Affected Loans are
automatically converted to ABR Loans or commitments to make ABR Loans, as the case may be, under Subsection 4.9 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for such conversion under Subsection
4.9, the Borrower Representative shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower Representative to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or
(ii) so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon notice to the Administrative Agent to prepay the affected
Loan, in whole or in part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty and terminate the Commitments in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility of such Lender. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, then, the Borrower
Representative, any other applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b) to effect
the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by Subsection 11.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower Representative
or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case
of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the applicable Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under Subsections 4.10 and 4.11 (as well as any commitment
fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under this Subsection 4.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment. In the case of the substitution of a Lender pursuant to this Subsection 4.13(d) or
Subsection 4.15(c)(i), if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of
(a) the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such replaced Lender
relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender and/or the Borrower Representative to such Lender being replaced, then the Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such
Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the applicable Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such
Lender. 
 (e) If any Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly attributable to Taxes for which any of the Borrowers has made
additional payments pursuant to Subsection 4.10(a) or 4.11(a), such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority,
but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to such Borrower; provided, however, that such Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest

  
 119 

 
with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to such Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such refund
is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent or Lender to make available its Tax returns (or related work papers and advice prepared by outside advisors) to any Borrower or to
any other Person. 
 (f) The obligations of any Agent, Lender or Participant under this Subsection 4.13 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all amounts payable hereunder. 
 4.14 Controls on Prepayment if Aggregate
Outstanding Credit Exceeds Aggregate Revolving Credit Loan Commitments. (a) In addition to the provisions set forth in Subsection 4.4(b), the Borrower Representative will implement and maintain internal controls to monitor the
borrowings and repayments of Loans by the Borrowers and the issuance of and drawings under Letters of Credit, with the objective of preventing any request for an Extension of Credit that would result in (i) the Aggregate Outstanding
Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Swingline Lender) being in excess of the aggregate Commitments then in effect or (ii) any other circumstance under which an Extension of Credit would not be
permitted pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a). 
 (b) The Administrative Agent will calculate the Aggregate Outstanding Credit with respect
to all of (A) the Revolving Credit Lenders and (B) the Lenders (in each case, including the Swingline Lender) from time to time, and in any event not less frequently than once during each calendar week. In making such
calculations, the Administrative Agent will rely on the information most recently received by it from the Swingline Lender in respect of outstanding Swingline Loans and from the Issuing Lenders in respect of outstanding L/C Obligations. 

4.15 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Credit Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) no commitment fee shall accrue for the account of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender
(except to the extent it is payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to clause (d)(v) below); 
 (b) in determining the
Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded; 

(c) the Borrower Representative shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort (i) to seek one or more
Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative to each become a substitute Revolving Credit Lender and assume all or part of the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender and the Borrower Representative, the
Administrative Agent and any such substitute Revolving Credit Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed 

  
 120 

 
to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution or (ii) so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a)
or 9.1(f) then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the Loans and, at the Borrower Representative’s option, terminate the Commitments of
such Defaulting Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; 
 (d) if any Swingline Exposure exists or any L/C
Obligations exist at the time a Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of such
Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations shall be re-allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures
plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall
within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after
giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding; 

(iii) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is cash collateralized pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the L/C Fee for participation with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure so long as it is cash collateralized; 

(iv) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to
clause (i) above, then the letter of credit commission with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages; or 

(v) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to
this Subsection 4.15(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder, the commitment fee that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (with respect to
the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Obligations) and the letter of credit commission payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until
such L/C Obligations are cash collateralized and/or reallocated; 

  
 121 

 (e) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not
be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless they are respectively satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the
Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among
Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); 

(f) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and
including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Subsection 11.7) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest
bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan
or the funding or cash collateralization of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender under this
Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if
such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of L/C Disbursements in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made
at a time when the conditions set forth in Subsection 6.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the
prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender; and 
 (g) In the event that the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative, each applicable Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting
Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the
Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Subsection 4.15 are in addition to
other rights and 

  
 122 

 
remedies that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted
or required by this Subsection 4.15 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise. 

4.16 Cash Management. (a) Annexed hereto as Schedule 4.16, as the same may be modified from time to time by notice to the
Administrative Agent, is a schedule of all DDAs and Concentration Accounts that are maintained by the Qualified Loan Parties, which schedule includes, with respect to each depository (i) the name and address of such depository;
(ii) the account number(s) (and account name(s) of such bank account(s)) maintained with such depository; and (iii) a contact person at such depository. 

(b) Except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Qualified Loan Party shall (i) deliver to the Administrative
Agent (A) notifications executed on behalf of each such Qualified Loan Party to each depository institution with which any DDA (other than Excluded Accounts) is maintained, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of
the Administrative Agent’s interest in such DDA, (B) Credit Card Notifications executed on behalf of each such Qualified Loan Party and delivered to each Credit Card Issuer and Credit Card Processor, in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent and (C) the Deere Revolving Plan Notification executed on behalf of each such Qualified Loan Party and delivered to Deere Financial, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
(ii) instruct each depository institution for a DDA (other than Excluded Accounts) that the amount in excess of the Target Amount and available at the close of each Business Day in such DDA should be swept to one of the Qualified Loan
Parties’ Concentration Accounts no less frequently than on a daily basis, such instructions to be irrevocable unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, (iii) enter into a blocked account agreement (each, a
“Blocked Account Agreement”), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and any bank with which such Qualified Loan Party maintains a Concentration Account
into which the DDAs (other than Excluded Accounts) are swept (each such account, a “Blocked Account” and collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”), covering each such Concentration Account maintained with such bank and
(iv) (A) instruct all Account Debtors of such Qualified Loan Party that remit payments of Accounts of such Account Debtor regularly by check pursuant to arrangements with such Qualified Loan Party to remit all such payments to the
applicable “P.O. Boxes” or “Lockbox Addresses” with respect to the applicable DDA or Concentration Account, which remittances shall be collected by the applicable bank and deposited in the applicable DDA or Concentration Account
or (B) cause the checks of any such Account Debtors to be deposited in the applicable DDA or Concentration Account within two Business Days after such check is received by such Qualified Loan Party. All amounts received by the Parent
Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that is a Loan Party in respect of any Account, in addition to all other cash received from any other source, shall upon receipt of such amount or cash (other than (i) any such amount to be
deposited in Excluded Accounts or (ii) cash excluded from the Collateral pursuant to any Security Document) be deposited into a DDA (other than an Excluded Account) or Concentration Account. Each Qualified Loan Party agrees that it will
not cause proceeds of such DDAs (other than Excluded Accounts) to be otherwise redirected. 

  
 123 

 (c) Each Blocked Account Agreement shall require, after the occurrence and during the continuance
of a Dominion Event, the ACH or wire transfer no less frequently than once per Business Day (unless the Commitments have been terminated and the monetary obligations then due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been paid in
full and all Letters of Credit have either been terminated or expired (unless cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent)), of all available cash balances and cash receipts,
including the then contents or then entire available ledger balance of each Blocked Account net of such minimum balance (not to exceed $500,000 per account or $1,500,000 in the aggregate), if any, required by the bank at which such Blocked Account
is maintained to an account maintained by the Administrative Agent at UBS AG, Stamford Branch (or another bank of recognized standing reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent with the reasonable consent of the Borrower Representative) (the
“Core Concentration Account”). Each Qualified Loan Party agrees that it will not cause proceeds of any Blocked Account to be otherwise redirected. 

(d) All collected amounts received in the Core Concentration Account shall be distributed and applied on a daily basis in the following order
(in each case, to the extent the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the amounts owing or outstanding as described below and after giving effect to the application of any such amounts constituting proceeds from any Collateral otherwise
required to be applied pursuant to the terms of the respective Security Document, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable): (1) first,
to the payment (on a ratable basis) of any outstanding expenses actually due and payable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any of the Loan Documents and to repay or prepay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans advanced by the
Administrative Agent; (2) second, to pay (on a ratable basis) all outstanding expenses actually due and payable to each Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents and to repay all outstanding Unpaid Drawings and all interest
thereon; (3) third, to pay (on a ratable basis) all accrued and unpaid interest actually due and payable on the Revolving Credit Loans and all accrued and unpaid fees actually due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lenders and the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents; (4) fourth, to repay (on a ratable basis) the outstanding principal of Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not then due and payable); (5) fifth, to
pay (on a ratable basis) all outstanding obligations of the Borrowers then due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders under this Agreement; and (6) sixth, to pay (on a ratable basis) all
other outstanding obligations of the Borrowers then due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders under any of the other Loan Documents. This Subsection 4.16(d) may be amended (and the Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of loans added pursuant
to Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable, in accordance with Subsection 11.1(d). 
 (e) If, at any time
after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Dominion Event as to which the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower Representative, any cash, Cash Equivalents or Temporary Cash Investments owned by any Qualified Loan Party (other than
(i) de minimis cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Temporary Cash Investments from time to time inadvertently misapplied by any Qualified Loan Party, (ii) cash, Cash Equivalents or 

  
 124 

 
Temporary Cash Investments deposited or to be deposited in an Excluded Account in accordance with this Subsection 4.16, (iii) cash, Cash Equivalents or Temporary Cash
Investments that are (or are in any bank account that is) excluded from the Collateral pursuant to any Security Document, including Excluded Assets and (iv) cash, Cash Equivalents or Temporary Cash Investments in the Asset Sales Proceeds
Account (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, if any) are deposited to any bank account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement (or a DDA which is swept daily
to such Blocked Account), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to require the applicable Qualified Loan Party to close such bank account and have all funds therein transferred to a Blocked Account, and to cause all future deposits that were
previously made or required to be made to such bank account to be made to a Blocked Account. 
 (f) (a) The Qualified Loan Parties
respectively may close DDAs or Concentration Accounts and/or open new DDAs or new Concentration Accounts, subject to, in the case of any new Concentration Account, (i) the contemporaneous execution and delivery to the Administrative
Agent of a Blocked Account Agreement consistent with the provisions of this Subsection 4.16 with respect to each such new Concentration Account or (ii) other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and
(b) as part of the Compliance Certificate to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of financial statements and reports referred to in Subsections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) the Borrower Representative will provide a list to
the Administrative Agent of any new opened or acquired DDAs or Concentration Accounts during the preceding Fiscal Quarter. 
 (g) In the
event that a Qualified Loan Party acquires new demand deposit accounts or new concentration accounts in connection with an acquisition, the Borrower Representative will procure that such Qualified Loan Party shall within 90 days of the date of
such acquisition (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) cause such new demand deposit accounts or new concentration accounts so acquired to comply with the applicable requirements of Subsection 4.16(b)
(including, with respect to any new Concentration Account, by entering into a Blocked Account Agreement) or shall enter into other arrangements consistent with the provisions of this Subsection 4.16 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent with respect to any new Concentration Account or DDA that, in either case, is to become a Blocked Account. 
 (h)
The Core Concentration Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. The Borrower Representative, on behalf of each Qualified Loan Party, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except to the extent
otherwise provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, (x) such Qualified Loan Party has no
right of withdrawal from the Core Concentration Account, (y) the funds on deposit in the Core Concentration Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations of the Qualified Loan Parties hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, and (z) the funds on deposit in the Core Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement and the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement (and any other applicable intercreditor
agreement). In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Subsection 4.16, any Qualified Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any proceeds or collections required to be transferred to

  
 125 

 
the Core Concentration Account pursuant to Subsection 4.16(c), such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Qualified Loan Party for the Administrative Agent, shall
not be commingled with any of such Qualified Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any bank account of such Qualified Loan Party (other than any bank account by which such Qualified Loan Party received or acquired dominion or control over
such proceeds and collections or with any funds in such bank account) and shall promptly be deposited into the Core Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Qualified Loan Party may be instructed by the Administrative Agent.

 (i) So long as no Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing, the Qualified Loan Parties may direct, and shall have sole control over,
the manner of disposition of funds in the Blocked Accounts. 
 (j) Any amounts held or received in the Core Concentration Account (including
all interest and other earnings with respect hereto, if any) at any time (x) when all of the monetary obligations due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been satisfied or (y) all Dominion Events have
been cured or waived, shall (subject in the case of clause (x) to the provisions of the applicable intercreditor agreement), be remitted to the operating bank account of the applicable Qualified Loan Party. 

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements set forth in
this Subsection 4.16 during the initial 90 day period commencing on the Closing Date to the extent that the arrangements described above are established and effective not later than the date that is 90 days following the Closing
Date or such later date as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may agree. 
 SECTION 5 

Representations and Warranties 

To induce the Administrative Agent and each Lender to make the Extensions of Credit requested to be made by it on the Closing Date and on each
other date on which an Extension of Credit is made thereafter, the Parent Borrower with respect to itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, in each case after giving effect to the Transactions, and
on every other date on which an Extension of Credit is made thereafter to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 5.1 Financial
Condition. (a) (i) The audited special purpose combined balance sheets of JDL and LESCO as of October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 and the related special purpose combined statements of operations, changes in
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the Fiscal Years ended October 31, 2012, October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, reported on by and accompanied by reports from Deloitte & Touche LLP, and (ii) the
unaudited special purpose combined balance sheets of JDL and LESCO and the related special purpose combined statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 (the financial
statements described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Special Purpose Financial Statements”) present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial condition as at such dates, and the combined
statements of operations and 

  
 126 

 
combined cash flows for the respective periods then ended of JDL and LESCO. Except as set forth in the Basis of Presentation Agreement and subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
year-end adjustments, all such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby (except as approved by a Responsible
Officer, and disclosed in any such schedules and notes). 
 (b) As of the Closing Date, except as set forth in the financial statements
referred to in Subsection 5.1(a), there are no liabilities of any Loan Party of any kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (c) The pro forma combined balance sheet and combined statements of operations of JDL and LESCO, copies of which have heretofore
been furnished to each Lender, are the combined balance sheet and combined statements of operations of JDL and LESCO as of and for the 12 months ended July 31, 2013, adjusted to give effect (as if such events had occurred on such date for
purposes of the balance sheet and on August 1, 2012, for purposes of the statement of operations), to the consummation of the Transactions, and the Extensions of Credit hereunder on the Closing Date. 

5.2 No Change; Solvent. Since the Closing Date, there has been no development or event relating to or affecting any Loan Party which
has had or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (after giving effect to (i) the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) the making of the Extensions of Credit to be made on the Closing Date and the
application of the proceeds thereof as contemplated hereby, and (iii) the payment of actual or estimated fees, expenses, financing costs and tax payments related to the Transactions contemplated hereby). As of the Closing Date, after
giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date, the Parent Borrower, together with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, is Solvent. 

5.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Loan Parties (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, except (other than with respect to the Borrowers), to the extent that the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (b) has the legal right to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that the failure to have such legal right
would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or
operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and
(d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate or other organizational power and
authority, and the legal right, to make, 

  
 127 

 
deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to obtain Extensions of Credit hereunder, and each such Loan Party has taken all necessary
corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to authorize the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, any Notes and the L/C Requests. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on
behalf of any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or, in the case of each Borrower, with the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, hereunder,
except for (a) consents, authorizations, notices and filings described in Schedule 5.4, all of which have been obtained or made prior to the Closing Date, (b) filings to perfect the Liens created by the Security
Documents, and (c) consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each
Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower and each other Loan
Document to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, in each case except as enforceability
may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
proceedings in equity or at law). 
 5.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by any of the
Loan Parties, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not result in, or require the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Liens securing the Obligations or otherwise permitted hereby) on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation and (c) will not violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, except (other than with respect to the Borrowers) as would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding
of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower Representative, threatened by or against the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or
revenues, (a) except as described on Schedule 5.6, which is so pending or threatened at any time on or prior to the Closing Date and relates to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or
(b) which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.7 No Default. Neither the Parent Borrower
nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since the Closing Date, no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.

the United States of America, except those for which the failure to have such good title or such leasehold interest would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such real or other property is subject to any Lien,

Conditions to Initial Extension of Credit. This Agreement, including the agreement of each Lender to make the initial Extension of Credit requested to be made by it, shall become effective on the date on which the following conditions
precedent shall have been satisfied or waived:

shall have a perfected security interest in all Collateral of the type for which perfection may be accomplished by filing a UCC financing statement and shall have possession of all certificated Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower and of its

security and the election of new directors or managers to authorize such Guarantees and security has not taken place prior to the funding of the Facility (such Guarantees and security the “Duly

  
 134

 (b) Investment Agreement.
The JDL Acquisition shall be consummated substantially concurrently with the initial borrowing pursuant to the Debt Financing, and shall be consummated in all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement, without giving

being understood and agreed that any reduction in the purchase price shall not be deemed to be materially adverse to the Lenders but any resulting reduction in purchase price shall be allocated (i) 40.0% to a reduction of the principal
amount of the Initial Term Loan Facility (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) and (ii) 60.0% to a reduction of the Equity Contribution.

substantially concurrently with the initial funding pursuant to the Debt Financing under the Loan Documents pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or, in the case of UCC filings, written authorization to make
such UCC filings shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, and none of such Collateral shall be subject to any other pledges, security interests or mortgages except for Permitted Liens or pledges, security interests or mortgages to be

commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Closing Date to obtain them on the Closing Date), if perfection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Collateral may not be accomplished on or before the Closing Date after the
applicable Loan Party’s commercially reasonable efforts to do so, then delivery of documents and instruments for perfection of such security interest shall not constitute a condition precedent to the initial borrowings hereunder if the

Representative has used commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Closing Date to obtain them on the Closing Date; provided, further, that with respect to any such Pledged Stock other than Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower and
its Domestic Subsidiaries, if delivery of such Pledged Stock and related stock powers to the Collateral Agent may not be accomplished on or before the Closing Date after the applicable Loan Party’s commercially reasonable efforts to do so, then
delivery of such Pledged Stock and related stock powers shall not constitute a condition precedent to the initial Extension of Credit hereunder if the applicable Loan Party agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered such Pledged Stock and related
stock powers in accordance with Subsections 7.12 and 7.13 and otherwise pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed by the applicable Loan Party and the Administrative Agent acting reasonably, but in no event later than the 91st day after the Closing Date (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

to be prepared in accordance with this Agreement. Upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, the OpCo Borrower will provide a summary inventory report (based on its customary
methodology and, in form and substance, as prepared for its internal purposes) no more than once per year and at a time prepared by the OpCo Borrower for its internal purposes in its ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Subsection 7.2(g) or in this Subsection 7.6, none of the Parent Borrower, the OpCo Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary will be required to disclose, or permit the inspection or discussion of, any document, information or

field examination and one Inventory appraisal in each calendar year in each case for all of the Loan Parties each at the Loan Parties’ expense; provided that, the Administrative Agent may conduct at the Loan Parties’ expense,
(x) up to two field examinations and one Inventory appraisal during calendar year 2014, (y) up to one field examination and one Inventory appraisal during each calendar year thereafter, and (z) up to one

Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion determines are necessary or appropriate (each, at the expense of the Loan Parties). All amounts chargeable to the applicable Borrowers under this Subsection 7.6(b) shall constitute obligations
that are secured by all of the applicable Collateral and shall be payable to the Agents hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower Representative may at any time, in its sole discretion, instruct the Administrative Agent in writing to

may instruct the Administrative Agent in writing to terminate such suspension period and include Eligible Inventory in the Borrowing Base on the conditions and terms set forth herein, provided that the Administrative Agent has the right to conduct
an Inventory appraisal prior to including any Eligible Inventory in the Borrowing Base.

pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction), (D) to the extent not automatically perfected by UCC Filings, no Loan Party shall be required to take any actions in order to perfect any security interests granted
with respect to any assets specifically requiring perfection through control (excluding Capital Stock required to be delivered pursuant to Subsections 7.9(b) and 7.9(c) above), except to the extent any such action is required
pursuant to Subsection 4.16, and (E) nothing in this Subsection 7.9 shall require that any Subsidiary grant a Lien with respect to any property or assets in which such Subsidiary acquires ownership rights to the extent that
the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent reasonably determine in writing that the costs or other consequences to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of the granting of such a Lien is excessive in view of the benefits that would be
obtained by the Secured Parties.

Loan Party, or (2) such merger, consolidation or amalgamation shall be in the ordinary course of business, or (3) if the continuing or surviving entity is not a Loan Party, the fair market value (as determined in good faith

Parent Borrower or another Parent Entity or other assets, relating to the ownership interest of such Parent Entity in another Parent Entity, the Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries, such cash dividends with respect to such Parent Entity shall be
limited to the reasonable and proportional share, as determined by the Parent Borrower in its reasonable discretion, of such expenses incurred by such Parent Entity relating or allocable to its ownership interest in the Parent Borrower or another
Parent Entity and such other related assets;

 155 

 
Investors, at any time after the initial issuances to any Management Investors, together with the aggregate amount of deferred compensation owed by any Parent Entity, the Parent Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries to any Management Investor that shall thereafter have been cancelled, waived or exchanged at any time after the initial issuances to any thereof in connection with the grant to such Management Investor of the right to receive or
acquire shares of the Parent Borrower’s or any Parent Entity’s Capital Stock; provided, however, that, if applicable, any amount actually received by any Parent Entity in accordance with this clause (B) shall have been

Parent Borrower; provided that any payment pursuant to this Subsection 8.3(f) shall be deemed to be a usage of the Available Excluded Contribution Amount Basket; 

(g) the Parent Borrower may pay dividends, payments and distributions in an amount not to exceed the Available Excluded
Contribution Amount Basket, (i) for purposes permitted under Subsection 8.3(e) if at the time such dividend, payment or distribution is made no Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom or
(ii) for any other purposes if at the time such dividend, payment or distribution is made no Specified Default or Event of Default known to the Borrower Representative shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; 

(h) the Parent Borrower may pay cash dividends, payments and distributions, (i) (x) for purposes permitted
under Subsection 8.3(e) if at the time such dividend, payment or distribution is declared no Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would if paid on the date of such declaration result therefrom or (y) for any
other purposes, if at the time such dividend, payment or distribution is declared no Specified Default or Event of Default known to the Borrower Representative shall have occurred and be continuing or would if paid on the date of such declaration
result therefrom (provided in each case that such dividend, payment or distribution is paid within 30 days of such declaration) and (ii) the aggregate amount of such dividends, payments and distributions pursuant to this clause
(h), when aggregated with all optional prepayments made pursuant to Subsection 8.6(e)(i), do not exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate; and 

(i) in addition to the foregoing dividends, the Parent Borrower may pay additional dividends, payments and distributions,
(x) for purposes permitted under Subsection 8.3(e) if at the time such dividend, payment or distribution is declared no Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would if paid on the date of

  
 156 

 
such declaration result therefrom or (y) for any other purposes, if at the time such dividend, payment or distribution is declared no Specified Default or Event of Default known to
the Borrower Representative shall have occurred and be continuing or would if paid on the date of such declaration result therefrom, provided that in each case the Payment Condition shall be satisfied and provided further, that
in each case such dividend, payment or distribution is paid within 30 days of such declaration. 
 For purposes of determining compliance
with Subsection 8.3, in the event that any Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Restricted Payments described in one or more of the clauses of Subsection 8.3, the Borrower Representative, in its sole
discretion, shall classify such item of Restricted Payment and may include the amount and type of such Restricted Payment in one or more of such clauses (including in part under one such clause and in part under another such clause). 

8.4 Limitations on Certain Acquisitions. Acquire by purchase or otherwise all the business or assets of, or stock or other evidences of
beneficial ownership of, any Person, except that the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be allowed to make any such acquisitions so long as: 

(a) such acquisition is expressly permitted by Subsection 8.2 (other than clause (d)); or 

(b) such acquisition is a Permitted Acquisition; 

provided that in the case of each such acquisition pursuant to clause (a) or (b) after giving effect thereto, no Specified Default or other
Event of Default known to the Borrower Representative shall occur as a result of such acquisition; and provided, further, that with respect to any acquisition that is consummated in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions, all or any of which might constitute an Investment but not the acquisition of all of the business or assets of, or stock or other evidences of beneficial ownership of, any Person, the Borrower Representative at its option may classify
such transactions in whole or in part as an acquisition subject to this Subsection 8.4 (and for the avoidance of doubt not as an Investment subject to Subsection 8.12). 

8.5 Limitation on Dispositions of Collateral. Unless the Payment Condition shall have been satisfied, engage in any Asset Sale with
respect to any of the Collateral, except that the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be allowed to engage in any Asset Sale, so long as the consideration received (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming
responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) in connection with such Asset Sale is for Fair Market Value (determined as of the date a legally binding commitment for such Asset Sale was entered into), and if the consideration
received is greater than $12,500,000, at least 75.0% of such consideration received (excluding, in the case of an Asset Sale (or series of related Asset Sales), any consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility
for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, that are not Indebtedness) is in the form of cash. For the purposes of the foregoing, the following are deemed to be cash: (1) Cash Equivalents and Temporary Cash Investments,
(2) the assumption of Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower (other than Disqualified Capital Stock of the Parent 

  
 157 

 
Borrower) or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in
connection with such Asset Sale, (3) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Parent Borrower and each other Restricted Subsidiary are
released from any Guarantee Obligation of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale, (4) securities received by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are
converted by the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days, (5) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, (6) Additional Assets and
(7) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration
received pursuant to this clause, not to exceed an aggregate amount at any time outstanding equal to the greater of $17,500,000 and 3.00% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of designation (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated
Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value). 
 In connection with
any Asset Sale permitted under this Subsection 8.5 or a Disposition that is excluded from the definition of “Asset Sale”, the Administrative Agent shall, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, execute such
releases of Liens and take such other actions as the Borrower Representative may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. 
 8.6
Limitation on Optional Payments and Modifications of Restricted Indebtedness and Other Documents. (a) Make any optional payment or optional prepayment on or optional repurchase or optional redemption of (i) the Term Loans or
(ii) any Indebtedness that, in each case refinances, refunds, replaces, renews, repays, restructures or extends the Indebtedness set forth in preceding clause (i) or any refinancing thereof (in each case whether incurred under
Subsection 8.13(i)(ii) or with the proceeds of any Indebtedness incurred under any other provision of Subsection 8.13) (including any Additional Obligations, any Permitted Debt Exchange Notes or any Indebtedness that is by its terms
subordinated to the payment in cash of the Obligations, in each case that refinances, refunds, replaces, renews, repays, restructures or extends the Indebtedness set forth in preceding clause (i) or any refinancing thereof) (collectively or
individually, “Restricted Indebtedness”), including any payments on account of clauses (i) and (ii), or for a sinking or other analogous fund for, the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition thereof (it being
understood that (x) payments of regularly scheduled interest and (y) AHYDO Payments shall be permitted, provided that after giving effect to such AHYDO Payments, the Total Leverage Ratio would not be greater than
6.00:1.00), unless (i) the Payment Condition shall have been satisfied or such payment or prepayment on or optional repurchase or redemption of Restricted Indebtedness is financed with an amount not exceeding the Available Excluded
Contribution Amount Basket and (ii) no Specified Default or other Event of Default known to the Borrowers has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom; provided that the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries may consummate any redemption of Restricted Indebtedness within 60 days after the date of giving an irrevocable notice of redemption if at such date of giving of such notice, such redemption would have complied with this
Subsection 8.6(a). 

  
 158 

 (b) [Reserved.] 

(c) Amend, supplement, waive or otherwise modify any of the provisions of any Restricted Indebtedness (excluding for this purpose any
Restricted Indebtedness the proceeds of which were used to refinance, refund, replace, renew, repay, restructure or extend the Term Loan Facility or any refinancing thereof, that was incurred under any provision of Subsection 8.13 other
than Subsection 8.13(i)(ii)) in a manner that (A) shortens the maturity date of the Indebtedness incurred thereunder to a date prior to the date that is 91 days after the Termination Date or (B) provides for a
shorter weighted average life to maturity, at the time of issuance or incurrence, than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Indebtedness that is refinanced, refunded, replaced, renewed, repaid, restructured or extended
(provided that compliance with this restriction shall be determined ignoring the effect of any payment of customary upfront fees or any permanent prepayment of such Indebtedness, in each case based on market conditions at the time of the
applicable amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Subsection 8.6(c) shall not restrict or prohibit any refinancing of Indebtedness (in whole or in part) with the
proceeds of any Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Subsection 8.13. 
 (d) [Reserved.] 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing the Parent Borrower shall be permitted to make the following optional payments, repurchases and redemptions
(“Optional Payments”) in respect of Restricted Indebtedness: 
 (i) Optional Payments pursuant to this
clause (e)(i) in an aggregate amount that, when aggregated with all cash dividends paid pursuant to Subsection 8.3(h), does not exceed $15,000,000;

the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted under Subsection 8.13;

each case due within one year of the date of making such Optional Payment. 
 8.7 [Reserved]. 

8.8 Limitation on Negative Pledge Clauses. Enter into with any Person any agreement which prohibits or limits the ability of the Parent
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien in favor of the Lenders in respect of obligations and liabilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents upon any of
its property, assets or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than:

effect at or entered into on the Closing Date, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any related documents, the Term Loan Documents and, on and after the execution and delivery thereof, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Other
Intercreditor Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement, any Permitted Debt Exchange Notes (and any related documents) and any Additional Obligations Documents; 

  
 159 

 (b) pursuant to any agreement governing or relating to Indebtedness and/or other obligations and
liabilities, in each case secured by a Lien permitted by Subsection 8.14 (in which case any restriction shall only be effective against the assets subject to such Lien, except as may otherwise be permitted under this Subsection 8.8);

 (c) pursuant to any agreement or instrument of a Person, or relating to Indebtedness (including any Guarantee Obligation in respect
thereto) or Capital Stock of a Person, which Person is acquired by or merged or consolidated or amalgamated with or into the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or which agreement or instrument is assumed by the Parent Borrower, or any
Restricted Subsidiary in connection with an acquisition from such Person or any other transaction entered into in connection with any such acquisition, merger, consolidation or amalgamation, as in effect at the time of such acquisition, merger,
consolidation, amalgamation or transaction (except to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred to finance, or otherwise in connection with, such acquisition, merger, consolidation, amalgamation or transaction), provided that for
purposes of this Subsection 8.8(c), if a Person other than a Borrower is the Successor Borrower with respect thereto, any Subsidiary thereof or agreement or instrument of such Person or any such Subsidiary shall be deemed acquired or assumed,
as the case may be, by the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, when such Person becomes such Successor Borrower; 

(d) pursuant to any agreement or instrument (a “Refinancing Agreement”) effecting a refinancing of Indebtedness incurred or
outstanding pursuant or relating to, or that otherwise extends, renews, refunds, refinances or replaces, any agreement or instrument referred to in Subsection 8.8(a) or 8.8(c) or this Subsection 8.8(d) (an “Initial
Agreement”) or that is, or is contained in, any amendment, supplement or other modification to an Initial Agreement or Refinancing Agreement (an “Amendment”); provided, however, that the encumbrances and
restrictions contained in any such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Lenders than encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which such
Refinancing Agreement or Amendment relates (as determined in good faith by the Borrower Representative);

and such refinancing would cause the percentage of Consolidated Total Assets restriction to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated Total Assets on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated Total Assets restriction
shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, plus the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and
other costs and expenses (including accrued and unpaid interest) incurred or payable in connection with such refinancing, (iv) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to

the “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount”, shall be determined after giving effect to the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other Indebtedness and (vi) in the event that the Borrower
Representative shall classify Indebtedness incurred on the date of determination as incurred in part pursuant to Subsection 8.13(a)(B) and clause (ii) of the definition of Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount and in part pursuant

initially incurred in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of incurrence, and such refinancing would cause the percentage of Consolidated Total Assets restriction to be exceeded if
calculated based on the Consolidated Total Assets on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated Total Assets restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Indebtedness secured by such Liens
does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness secured by such Liens being refinanced, plus the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses (including accrued and unpaid interest) incurred or
payable in connection with such refinancing, (iv) it is understood that a Lien securing Indebtedness that is permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 8.14 may secure Debt Obligations with respect to such
Indebtedness, and (v) in the event that the Borrower Representative shall classify Indebtedness incurred on the date of determination as secured in part pursuant to Subsection 8.14(a) in respect of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant

calculation of the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement), including in the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount”, shall not include any such Indebtedness (and shall not give
effect to any discharge of Indebtedness from the proceeds thereof) to the extent secured pursuant to any such other clause of Subsection 8.14.

(A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Subsection 9.1(f) with respect to any Borrower, automatically the Commitments, if any, shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with
accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder)
shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may,
or upon the request of the Required Lenders the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower Representative, declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments, if any, shall immediately terminate; and
(ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower Representative, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued
interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be
due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. 
 (b) Except as expressly provided above in this
Section 9, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived. 

9.3 Borrower’s Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise contained in this Section 9,
in the event of any Event of Default under the covenant set forth in Subsection 8.1 and upon the receipt of a Specified Equity Contribution within the time period specified, and subject to the satisfaction of the other conditions with respect
to Specified Equity Contribution set forth in the definition thereof, EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable Fiscal Quarter and any four Fiscal Quarter period that contains such Fiscal Quarter by the amount of such Specified
Equity Contribution (the “Cure Amount”), solely for 

  
 180 

 
the purpose of measuring compliance with Subsection 8.1. If, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustment (without giving effect to any repayment of any Indebtedness with any
portion of the Cure Amount or any portion of the Cure Amount on the balance sheet of the OpCo Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, with respect to such Fiscal Quarter only), the OpCo Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall
then be in compliance with the requirements of Subsection 8.1, they shall be deemed to have been in compliance therewith as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at
such date, and the applicable breach or default hereunder that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement. 
 (b)
The parties hereby acknowledge that notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Cure Amount received pursuant to the occurrence of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be disregarded for purposes of
calculating EBITDA in any determination of any financial ratio-based conditions (other than as applicable to Subsection 8.1), pricing or basket under Section 8 and (ii) no Lender or Issuing Lender shall be required to
make any Extension of Credit hereunder, if an Event of Default under the covenant set forth in Subsection 8.1 has occurred and is continuing, (x) during the 10 Business Day period during which a Specified Equity Contribution
may be made, or (y) on the date on which a Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered and on which a Specified Equity Contribution may be made (in each case as provided in the definition of Specified Equity Contribution), unless and until
the Cure Amount is actually received.

Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent or the Other Representatives. 
 (b) Each of the Agents may perform any of their
respective duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates, or delegate any and all such
rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent (it being understood and agreed, for avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may

  
 181 

 
perform any of their respective duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of their respective affiliates). Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent,
and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. 

(c) Except for Subsections 10.5, 10.8(a), 10.8(b), 10.8(c), 10.8(e), 10.13 and (to the extent of the
Borrowers’ rights thereunder and the conditions included therein) 10.9, the provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and no Borrower or any other Loan Party
shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 10.2 The Administrative Agent and Affiliates. Each
person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders. 
 10.3 Action by an Agent. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall
act solely as an agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and no Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed any) relationship of agency or trust with or for the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the Collateral Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care. 

10.4 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent: 
 (i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) shall have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take 

  
 182 

 
any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirement of Law; and 

(iii) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as such Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity. 

(b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the consent or at the request of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Subsection 9.2 or 11.1, as applicable) or
(y) in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or
an Issuing Lender. 
 (c) No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in
this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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 as used
merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may use an outside service provider for the tracking of
all UCC financing statements required to be filed pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that any such service provider will be deemed to be
acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. 

10.5 Acknowledgement and Representations by Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents
or the Other Representatives nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent or any Other Representative hereafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of the Parent Borrower 

  
 183 

 
or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or such Other Representative to any Lender. Each Lender further represents and warrants to the
Agents, the Other Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that it has had the opportunity to review each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions
applicable to the recipients thereof. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents to the Agents, the Other Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Other Representatives or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
Holdings and the OpCo Borrower and the other Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Agents nor any Other Representative shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender
or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender (other than, in the case of clause (i), an
Affiliated Lender, any Parent Entity or any Unrestricted Subsidiary) and each Issuing Lender represents to each other party hereto (i) that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance
company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, for such commercial
purposes, and (ii) that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of
Subsection 11.6 applicable to the Lenders and Issuing Lenders hereunder. 
 10.6 Indemnity; Reimbursement by Lenders.
(a) To the extent that the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Subsection 11.5 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral
Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or any Other Representative or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in
effect on the date on which the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought under this Subsection 10.6 (or, if the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought after the date upon which the
Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages, immediately prior to such date) such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided that (i) the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lenders in their capacity as such, or against any
Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Swingline Lender or Issuing Lenders in connection with such capacity and (ii) such
indemnity for the Swingline Lender or the Issuing 

  
 184 

 
Lenders shall not include losses incurred by the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lenders due to one or more Lenders defaulting in their obligations to purchase participations of Swingline
Exposure under Subsections 2.4(c) and 2.4(d) or L/C Obligations under Subsection 3.4 (it being understood that this proviso shall not affect the Swingline Lender’s or any Issuing Lender’s rights against any Defaulting
Lender). The obligations of the Lenders under this Subsection 10.6 are subject to the provisions of Subsection 4.8. 

(b) Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions
expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. 
 (c) All amounts due under this Subsection 10.6 shall be payable not later than three Business
Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Subsection 10.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

10.7 Right to Request and Act on Instructions. (a) Each Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect
to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents an Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the requesting Agent shall be absolutely entitled
as between itself and the Lenders to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Lender for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents
until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever
against any Agent as a result of an Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be
prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), an Agent shall have no obligation to any Lender to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that
such action would violate applicable law or exposes an Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 10.6. 

(b) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper
person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult

  
 185 

 
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with such advice. 
 10.8 Collateral
Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into (x) the Security Documents, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and
any Other Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, (y) any amendments or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to the Security Documents, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor
Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Other Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof of Additional Indebtedness (each an
“Intercreditor Agreement Supplement”) to permit such Additional Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the Parent Borrower or relevant Subsidiary, to the extent such
priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) and (z) any amendments provided for under Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, respectively. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note or participant in Letters of
Credit by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the
Security Documents, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Other Intercreditor Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement, or any agreement required in connection with an Incremental Facility
pursuant to Subsection 2.6, any agreement required in connection with a Refinancing Amendment pursuant to Subsection 2.7 and any agreement required in connection with an Extension Offer pursuant to Subsection 2.8, and the
exercise by the Agents or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby
authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any applicable Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to
perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or
to realize upon any Collateral for the Loans unless instructed to do so by the Collateral Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may grant extensions of
time for the creation and perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions or other deliverables with respect to particular assets or the provision of any guarantee by any Subsidiary (including extensions
beyond the Closing Date or in connection with assets acquired, or Subsidiaries formed or acquired, after the Closing Date) where it determines that such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it
would otherwise be required to be accomplished by this Agreement or the Security Documents. 
 (b) The Lenders hereby authorize each Agent,
in each case at its option and in its discretion, (A) to release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations

  
 186 

 
under the Loan Documents at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby that are then due and unpaid,
(ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than a Loan Party) upon the sale or other disposition thereof, (iii) owned by any Subsidiary Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or
ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or constituting Capital Stock of an Excluded Subsidiary, (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater amount, to the extent
required by Subsection 11.1), (v) constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral upon the “Discharge of Term Loan Collateral Obligations” (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement) or (vi) as
otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents, (B) at the written request of the Borrower Representative to subordinate any Lien on any Excluded Assets or any other property granted to or held by such Agent, as
the case may be under any Loan Document, to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Subsection 8.14 and (C) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Obligations under any Loan Documents to which it is a
party if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary. Upon request by any Agent, at any time, the Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by
this Agreement will confirm in writing any Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Subsection 10.8. 

(c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in each case at its option and in its
discretion, to enter into any amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver, supplement or modification, and to make or consent to any filings or to take any other actions, in each case as contemplated by Subsection 11.17. Upon
request by any Agent, at any time, the Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s authority under this
Subsection 10.8(c). 
 (d) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is
owned by Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to
the Agents in this Subsection 10.8 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed by the Lenders that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may
deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its bad faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Security Document may be amended (or amended and restated),
restated, waived, supplemented or modified as contemplated by and in accordance with either Subsection 11.1 or 11.17, as applicable, with the written consent of the Agent party thereto and the Loan Party party thereto. 

(f) The Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or
perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree. 

  
 187 

 10.9 Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein,
(i) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may be removed by the Borrower Representative or the Required Lenders if the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or a controlling affiliate of the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent is a Defaulting Lender and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively, in each case upon 10 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower Representative, as applicable. If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be removed by the Borrower Representative or the Required Lenders pursuant to clause
(i) above or if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which such successor agent shall be subject to approval by the Borrower Representative; provided that such approval by the Borrower Representative in connection with the appointment of any successor
Administrative Agent shall only be required so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that the Borrower Representative shall not unreasonably
withhold its approval of any successor Administrative Agent if such successor is a commercial bank with a consolidated combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000. Prior to the Special Purpose Financial Statements, the OpCo
October/December 2013 Financial Statements or the substance of any of the foregoing being disclosed to any successor agent in connection with such appointment, such successor agent shall have executed a D&T Letter. Upon the successful
appointment of a successor agent, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”,
as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 the Loans or issuers of Letters of Credit. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of this
Section 10 (including this Subsection 10.9) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After the resignation or removal of
any Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Subsection 10.9, such resigning or removed Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to act as Issuing Lender for any Letters of Credit to be issued after
the date of such resignation or removal (and all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the resigning Issuing Lender shall be paid in full upon its resignation or removal) and (y) shall not be required to act as Swingline Lender with
respect to Swingline Loans to be made after the date of such resignation or removal (and all outstanding Swingline Loans of such resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be required to be repaid in full upon its resignation or removal),
although the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall retain all rights hereunder as Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it, and all Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the effectiveness of its
resignation or removal as 

  
 188 

 
Administrative Agent hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower Representative to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrower Representative and such successor. 
 10.10 Swingline Lender. The provisions of this Section 10
shall apply to the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent. 

10.11 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, each Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount
equivalent to any applicable withholding tax, and in no event shall such Agent be required to be responsible for or pay any additional amount with respect to any such withholding. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority
asserts a claim that any Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify such Agent of a
change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from or reduction of withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, without limiting the provisions of Subsection 4.11(a) or 4.12, such Lender shall indemnify such Agent fully
for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts
at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Subsection 10.11. The agreements in this Subsection 10.11 shall survive the
resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For purposes of this
Subsection 10.11, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender. 
 10.12 Other Representatives. None of the
entities identified as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers pursuant to the definition of Other Representative contained herein, shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document in its capacity as such.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Other Representative shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. At any time that any Lender serving as an Other Representative shall have transferred to any other Person (other than
any of its affiliates) all of its interests in the Loans and in the Commitments, such Lender shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Other Representative. 

10.13 Appointment of Borrower Representatives. Each Borrower hereby designates the OpCo Borrower as its Borrower Representative. The
Borrower Representative will be acting as agent on each Borrower’s behalf for the purposes of issuing notices of Borrowing and notices of conversion/continuation of any Loans pursuant to Section 2 and Section 4 or
similar notices, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or 

  
 189 

 
the Borrowers under the Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant,
agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had
been made directly by such Borrower. 
 10.14 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
Bankruptcy Proceeding or any 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 Borrowers) is hereby authorized by the Lenders, 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 Subsections 4.5 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; 
 (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, if 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 Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Subsections 4.5 and 11.5. 

10.15 Application of Proceeds. The Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree, as among such parties, as follows:
subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or
received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on account of amounts then due and outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be applied as follows:
first, to pay interest on and then principal of Agent Advances then outstanding, second, to pay interest on and then principal of Swingline Loans then outstanding, third, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing hereunder of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders under
the Loan Documents (including all expenses of sale or other realization of or in respect of the Collateral and any sums advanced to the Collateral Agent or to preserve its security interest in the 

  
 190 

 
Collateral), fourth, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing hereunder of each of the
Lenders and each of the Issuing Lenders in connection with enforcing such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, fifth, to pay (on a ratable basis) (A) interest on and then principal of
Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding and any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, and to cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (B) any outstanding
obligations payable under (i) Designated Cash Management Agreements, up to the maximum amount of the exposure thereunder as notified from time to time by the Cash Management Party to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the definition of
“Cash Management Reserves” and (ii) Designated Hedging Agreements up to the maximum amount of the MTM value thereunder as notified from time to time by the Hedging Party (or, if applicable, an alternative MTM value notified by
the Borrower Representative pursuant to a Dealer Polling) to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the definition of “Designated Hedging Reserves”, in each case which are secured under the Security Documents, sixth, to pay
obligations under Cash Management Arrangements (other than pursuant to any Designated Cash Management Agreements, but including any amounts not paid pursuant to clause “fifth”(B)(i) above), Permitted Hedging Arrangements (other than
pursuant to any Designated Hedging Agreements, but including any amounts not paid pursuant to clause “fifth”(B)(ii) above) and Management Guarantees entered into with any Management Credit Provider (as defined in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement) permitted hereunder and secured by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and seventh, to pay the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. To the extent that any amounts available
for distribution pursuant to clause “fifth” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit which are then not yet required to be reimbursed hereunder, such amounts shall be held by the Collateral
Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of
Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in such clause “fifth”. To the extent any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “fifth” are insufficient to pay all obligations described therein in full,
such moneys shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders and Issuing Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages. This Subsection 10.15 may be amended (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to
enter into any such amendment) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of loans added pursuant to Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and
2.8, as applicable. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excluded Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement)
with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets. 
 SECTION 11 

Miscellaneous

(g) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or any
other Loan Document as contemplated by Subsection 11.1(a), the consent of the Supermajority Lenders, each Lender or each affected Lender, as applicable, is required and the consent of the Required Lenders at such time is obtained but the
consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such other Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) then the Borrower Representative may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the
Non-Consenting Lender, (A) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Subsection 11.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be
paid by the Borrower Representative in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower
Representative to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; and
provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender (or, at the Borrower Representative’s
option, by a Borrower) to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance or (B) so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) then exists or will exist immediately after
giving effect to the respective prepayment, prepay the Loans and, at the Borrower Representative’s option, terminate the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender, in whole or in part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or
penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this Subsection 11.1(g), if the Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation
necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all
obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have
executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the applicable Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other
documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register.

no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, power or 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 are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 

  
 197 

 11.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made

 198 

 
Concern generated by the OpCo Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries was managed, released, or discharged, or (iii) of any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing
in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Borrowers shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Lead Arranger, any Other Representative, any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any
Issuing Lender or any Lender (or any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons) with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any such Lead Arranger, Other
Representative, Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), Issuing Lender or Lender (or any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons), as the case may be, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision,

Agent in its capacity as such. None of the Borrowers nor any Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages hereunder; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrowers’
indemnity or reimbursement obligations under this Subsection 11.5 to the extent such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third-party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification hereunder. All amounts due under this Subsection 11.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements reflecting amounts payable by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Subsection 11.5
shall be submitted to the address of the Borrower Representative set forth in Subsection 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower Representative in a notice to the Administrative Agent.

fee, deduction or withholding imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. The agreements in this Subsection 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Agreement (including its Commitments and/or Loans, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of: 

(A) the Borrower Representative; provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for
(i) an assignment if an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) with respect to the Parent Borrower or the OpCo Borrower has occurred and is continuing, to any other Person or (ii) an assignment

assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower
Representative shall be required if an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) with respect to the Parent Borrower or the OpCo Borrower has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in
respect of each Lender and its Affiliates, if any;

 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv)
below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and bound by any related obligations under) Subsections
4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15 and 11.5, and bound by its continuing obligations under Subsection 11.16 and, in the case of each Reference Bank, Subsection 4.6(c)). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with Subsection 4.13(d), Subsection 4.15(c), Subsection 11.1(g) and this Subsection 11.6 shall, to the extent it would comply with Subsection
11.6(c), be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Subsection 11.6 (and any attempted assignment, transfer or
participation which does not comply with this Subsection 11.6 shall be null and void). 
 (iv) The Borrowers hereby
collectively designate the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this Subsection 11.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and interest and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 Borrowers, the Issuing Lender and,
solely with respect to entries applicable to such Lender, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any assignment by a Lender to a Disqualified Lender
shall be deemed null and void ab initio and the Register shall be modified to reflect a reversal of such assignment, and the Borrowers shall be entitled to pursue any remedy available to them (whether at law or in equity, including specific
performance to unwind such assignment) against the Lender and such Disqualified Lender. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is a Disqualified Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount
of Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders. Upon 

  
 201 

 
request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) promptly (and in any case, not less than five Business Days (or
shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to the proposed effective date of any amendment, consent or waiver pursuant to Subsection 11.1) provide to the Administrative Agent, a list of, to the Borrower
Representative’s knowledge, all Affiliated Lenders holding Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans at the time of such notice and (ii) not less than five Business Days (or shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior
to the proposed effective date of any amendment, consent or waiver pursuant to Subsection 11.1, provide to the Administrative Agent, a list of, to the Borrower Representative’s knowledge, all Affiliated Debt Funds holding Term Loans or
Incremental Term Loans at the time of such notice. 
 (v) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting for itself
and, solely for this purpose, as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary (x) to
establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or (y) for any Borrower to enforce its rights hereunder. The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and a Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 
 (vi) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed
by an assigning Lender (unless such assignment is being made in accordance with Subsection 4.13(d), Subsection 4.15(c), or Subsection 11.1(g), in which case the effectiveness of such Assignment and Acceptance shall not require
execution by the assigning Lender) and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Subsection
11.6(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this Subsection 11.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice
of such assignment and recordation to the Borrower Representative. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (vi). 

(vii) On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(b), the assigning Lender
shall surrender to the Administrative Agent any outstanding Notes held by it evidencing Loans or Commitments, as 

  
 202 

 
applicable, which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative marked “cancelled”. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.6(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Borrower
Representative shall have consented thereto in writing in its sole discretion, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Commitments via an electronic settlement system acceptable
to Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole
discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be subject to the
prior written approval of the Borrower Representative and shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Subsection 11.6(b). Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in
connection with effecting any assignment of Loans and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until the Administrative
Agent notifies the Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. The Borrower Representative may withdraw its consent to the use of the Settlement Service at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent, and thereafter assignments and
assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein. 
 Furthermore, no Assignee, which
as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under Subsection 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 or 11.5 than the assigning Lender would have been
entitled to receive as of such date under such Subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an
Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower Representative has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment. 

(c) (i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the
consent of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to any Disqualified Lender, or a natural person or the Parent Borrower or any of the Parent Borrower’s Affiliates or its Subsidiaries (other
than Permitted Affiliated Assignees)) to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and
the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (D) the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and
the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (E) in the case of any participation to a Permitted Affiliated Assignee,
such 

  
 203 

 
participation shall be governed by the provisions of Subsection 11.6(h) (other than subclauses (i) and (iii) thereof) to the same extent as if each reference therein to an
assignment of a Loan were to a participation of a Loan and the references to Affiliated Lender were to such Permitted Affiliated Assignee in its capacity as a participant, and (F) prior to the Special Purpose Financial Statements, the
OpCo October/December 2013 Financial Statements or the substance of any of the foregoing being disclosed to the Participant, such Participant shall first execute and deliver a D&T Letter. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide
that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clause (i) or
(iii) of the second proviso to the second sentence of Subsection 11.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Subsection 11.6(c)(ii), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) Subsections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15 and 11.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Subsection 11.6(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Subsection 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to Subsection
11.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to sell participations under this Agreement to any Disqualified Lender and any such participation shall be void ab initio, except to the
extent the Borrower Representative has consented to such participation in writing (in which case such Lender will not be considered a Disqualified Lender solely for that particular participation). Any attempted participation which does not comply
with Subsection 11.6 shall be null and void. 
 (ii) No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment
under Subsection 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 or 11.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower
Representative and the Borrower Representative expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. Any Participant that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Subsection 4.11 unless such Participant complies with Subsection 4.11(b) and provides the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation. 

(d) Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank of a member state of the European Union, and
this Subsection 11.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute
(by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

  
 204 

 (e) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant
shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative if it would require any Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower
Representative shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any
assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may
assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Subsection 11.6(b). Each
Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided,
however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such
Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from each such Borrower pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(f), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate each such Borrower for such claim, any Loans
held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower Representative, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void. 

(g) If the Borrower Representative wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments under any Facility with ones having different terms, it shall
have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) advance notice to the Lenders under such
Facility, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders under such Facility to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and
(ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Subsection 11.1. Pursuant to any such assignment, (x) all Loans to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same
manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Subsection 4.12 and (y) all Commitments to be
replaced shall be allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same manner as would be required if such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers, accompanied by payment of any accrued fees thereon and any
amounts owing pursuant to Subsection 4.12. By receiving such 

  
 205 

 
purchase price (including accrued interest, fees and indemnity payments), the Lenders under such Facility shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments under such
Facility pursuant to the terms of the form of the Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The
provisions of this clause (g) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement. 

(h) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any assignment to or by an Affiliated Lender that is not
an Affiliated Debt Fund: 
 (1) such Affiliated Lender and such other Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit R hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”) and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register; 

(2) at the time of such assignment after giving effect to such assignment, the aggregate principal amount of all ABL Term Loans
held (or participated in) by Affiliated Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds shall not exceed 25.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all ABL Term Loans (the “Affiliated Lender Cap”) outstanding under this Agreement;
provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all ABL Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will
be void ab initio; 
 (3) any such ABL Term Loans acquired by (x) Holdings, the Parent Borrower, the OpCo
Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary shall be retired or cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof and (y) an Affiliated Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower Representative, be contributed to the Parent Borrower, whether
through a Parent Entity or otherwise, and exchanged for debt or equity securities of the Parent Borrower or such Parent Entity that are otherwise permitted to be issued at such time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, so long as any ABL Term
Loans so acquired by the Parent Borrower shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof; 
 (4) such
assignment may only relate to or be in respect of ABL Term Loans and no Commitments (or related Obligations) in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility or the FILO Tranche may be assigned to any Affiliated Lender or any Affiliated Debt Fund; and

 (5) each Lender making such assignment to, or taking such assignment from, such Affiliated Lender acknowledges and agrees
that in connection with such assignment, (1) such Affiliated Lender and/or its Affiliates then may have, and later may come into possession of information regarding the Loans or the Loan Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender
and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to enter into such assignment (“Excluded 

  
 206 

 
Information”), (2) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on the Affiliated Lender, Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, has made its own analysis and determination to enter into such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and
(3) none of the Affiliated Lender, Holdings, the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby
waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against the Affiliated Lender, Holdings, the Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and their respective Affiliates, under
applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender entering into such an assignment further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the
other Lenders. 
 Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it
acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender. 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund shall
have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited, (B) receive any
information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the
Borrower Representative or its representatives or (C) receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or challenge their attorney client privilege. 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in Subsection 11.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for
purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, all affected Lenders or all Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by
any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with
respect to or under any Loan Document, an Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter
by Lenders who are not such Affiliated Lenders; provided that, (I) to the extent Lenders are being compensated by the Borrowers for consenting to an amendment, modification, waiver or any other action, each Affiliated Lender who
has been deemed to have voted its Loans in accordance with this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii) shall be entitled to be compensated 

  
 207 

 
on the same basis as each consenting Lender as if it had voted all of its Loans in favor of the applicable amendment, modification, waiver or other action); (II) no amendment,
modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any Loan Document shall deprive such Affiliated Lender of its ratable share of any payments of ABL Term Loans to which such Affiliated Lender is entitled under the Loan Documents without
such Affiliated Lender providing its consent; and (III) that such Affiliated Lender shall have the right to approve any amendment, modification, waiver or consent that (x) disproportionately and adversely affects such Affiliated
Lender in its capacity as a Lender or affects such Affiliated Lender differently in its capacity as a Lender than other Lenders or (y) is of the type described in Subsections 11.1(a)(i) through (x) (other than
subclauses (v) and (vi)); and in furtherance of the foregoing, (x) the Affiliated Lender agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any instrument reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence the
voting of its interest as a Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii); provided that if the Affiliated Lender fails to promptly execute such instrument such failure shall in no way prejudice any of the
Administrative Agent’s rights under this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii) and (y) the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed (such appointment being coupled with an interest) by such Affiliated Lender as such Affiliated
Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any
instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii). 

(iv) Each Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby agrees, and each
Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption agreement shall provide a confirmation that, if any of Holdings, the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or
liquidation proceeding (each, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), (i) such Affiliated Lender shall not take any step or action in such Bankruptcy Proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking
of any action by the Administrative Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party that is supported by the Administrative Agent) in relation to such Affiliated Lender’s claim with respect to its ABL Term Loans (“Claim”)
(including objecting to any debtor in possession financing, use of cash collateral, grant of adequate protection, sale or disposition, compromise, or plan of reorganization) so long as such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender is treated in
connection with such exercise or action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders and (ii) with respect to any matter requiring the vote of Lenders during the pendency of a Bankruptcy Proceeding (including voting on any plan of
reorganization), the ABL Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender (and any Claim with respect thereto) shall be deemed to be voted in accordance with Subsection 11.6(h)(iii) above, so long as such Affiliate Lender in its capacity as a Lender
is treated in connection with the exercise of such right or taking of such action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders and each Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund agree and
acknowledge that the provisions set forth in this Subsection 11.6(h)(iv) and the related provisions set forth in 

  
 208 

 
each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption constitute a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and utilized in, Section 510(a) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, it is their intention that this Subsection 11.6(h)(iv) would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where Holdings, the Parent Borrower, the OpCo Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has filed for
protection under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors applicable to Holdings, the Parent Borrower, the OpCo Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable. Each Affiliated Lender that is not an
Affiliated Debt Fund hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and
in the name of such Affiliated Lender (solely in respect of ABL Term Loans, Commitments and participations therein and not in respect of any other claim or status such Affiliated Lender may otherwise have), from time to time in the Administrative
Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Subsection 11.6(h)(iv). 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Subsection 11.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders”
(x) with respect to any assignment or participation to or by an Affiliated Debt Fund, such assignment or participation shall be made pursuant to an open market purchase and (y) for purposes of determining whether the Required
Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom,
(ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect
to or under any Loan Document, all ABL Term Loans held by Affiliated Debt Funds may not account for more than 50.0% of the ABL Term Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action
pursuant to Subsection 11.1. 
 11.7 Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations. (a) If any Lender (a
“Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Subsection 9.1(f), or otherwise (except pursuant to Subsection 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 4.4, 4.5(b), 4.9,
4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13(d), 8.6(b), 11.1(g) or 11.6)), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s
Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such
portion of each such other Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is
thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the
Borrower Representative, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower Representative to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) to set-off and appropriate and apply
against any amount then due and payable under Subsection 9.1(a) by such Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency,
in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the Borrower Representative 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 set-off and application. 

  
 209 

 11.8 Judgment. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any
Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Subsection 11.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under
any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of
the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any
other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Subsection 11.8 being hereinafter in this Subsection 11.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”). 

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Subsection 11.8(a), there is a change in the rate
of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to
ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the
Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this Subsection 11.8(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not
be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents. 
 (c) The term
“rate of exchange” in this Subsection 11.8 means the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York City time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal
course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency. 
 11.9 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement in any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy and other electronic transmission), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one
and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent. 

  
 210 

 11.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 11.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents represent the entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties party hereto and thereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties
by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents, as applicable. 

11.12 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY
STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. 
 11.13 Submission to Jurisdiction;
Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a) submits for itself and its property in any
legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York (the “New York Supreme
Court”), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court,” and together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”) and appellate courts
from either of them; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) any Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other
security for the Obligations (in which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense, including any claim or defense that this Subsection 11.13 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New
York Court), or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement
of any judgment, (iii) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any Person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or
proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction and (iv) in the event a legal action or proceeding is brought against any party hereto or involving any of its assets or property

  
 211 

 
in another court (without any collusive assistance by such party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), such party from asserting a claim or defense (including any claim or defense that this
Subsection 11.13(a) would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal proceeding in a New York Court) in any such action or proceeding. 

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the applicable Borrower, the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, at the address specified in Subsection 11.2 or at such other
address of which the Administrative Agent, any such Lender and any such Borrower shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or
(subject to clause (a) above) shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 
 (e) waives, to the maximum
extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Subsection 11.13 any consequential or punitive damages. 

11.14 Acknowledgements. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that: 

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 (b) neither any Agent nor any Other Representative or Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Borrower
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is
solely that of creditor and debtor; and

Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or any Other Intercreditor Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement and amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any Security
Document (including but not limited to any Mortgages and UCC fixture filings), and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith, as may be reasonably deemed by the Borrower Representative to be necessary or
reasonably desirable for any Lien on the assets of any Loan Party permitted to secure such Incremental Facility or Additional Indebtedness to become a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the relevant Loan Party or
Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) pursuant to the Security Document being so amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified or otherwise.

and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic

 214 

 11.20 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to
be effective should any petition or other proceeding be filed by or against any Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should an
interim receiver, receiver, receiver and manager or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Loan Party’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or to be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and
performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the obligations, whether as a
fraudulent preference, reviewable transaction or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the obligations of the
Borrowers hereunder shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 

11.21 Joint and Several Liability; Postponement of Subrogation. (a) The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents to which each Borrower is a party shall be joint and several and, as such, each Borrower shall be liable for all of such obligations of the other Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which each Borrower is a
party. To the fullest extent permitted by law the liability of each Borrower for the obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of the other applicable Borrowers with whom it has joint and several liability shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the obligations hereunder or thereunder or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or
right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any applicable Secured Party, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder; provided that no
Borrower hereby waives any suit for breach of a contractual provision of any of the Loan Documents) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by such other applicable Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party or
(iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such other applicable Borrower or such Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of such other
applicable Borrower for the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or of such Borrower under this Subsection 11.21, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. 

(b) Each Borrower agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this Agreement, by
any payments made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the permanent termination of all
Commitments. Any amount paid to any Borrower on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit
and the permanent termination of all Commitments shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties and shall immediately be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties and credited and
applied against the obligations of the applicable Borrowers, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect. In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, any Letters
of Credit or any Commitments remain outstanding, each 

  
 215 

 
Borrower shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against any other Borrower (or any of its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or
otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made in respect of the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document of such other Borrower to any Secured Party. 

11.22 Designated Cash Management Agreements and Designated Hedging Agreements. (a) The Borrower Representative may from time to
time elect by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent that (x) a Cash Management Arrangement is to be a “Designated Cash Management Agreement” and that the monetary obligations thereunder be treated as pari passu with the
Obligations with respect to the priority of payment of proceeds of the Collateral in accordance with the waterfall provisions set forth in Subsection 10.15, or (y) an Interest Rate Agreement, Hedging Agreement or other Permitted
Hedging Arrangement is to be a “Designated Hedging Agreement” and that the monetary obligations thereunder be treated as pari passu with the Obligations with respect to the priority of payment of proceeds of the Collateral in accordance
with the waterfall provisions set forth in Subsection 10.15, provided that no Designated Cash Management Agreement or Designated Hedging Agreement can be secured at the same time on a first lien basis by the Term Loan Priority
Collateral (and any request under this Subsection 11.22 will be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower Representative to such effect), and provided, further, that no monetary obligations under any Designated Cash
Management Agreement or Designated Hedging Agreement shall receive any benefit of the designation under this Subsection 11.22 after the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement). Any such
designation notice shall include the information required under the definition of “Cash Management Reserves” or “Designated Hedging Reserves”, as applicable. 

(b) Notwithstanding any such designation of a Cash Management Arrangement as a Designated Cash Management Agreement or an Interest Rate
Agreement, Hedging Agreement or other Permitted Hedging Arrangement as a Designated Hedging Agreement, no provider or holder of any such Designated Cash Management Agreement or Designated Hedging Agreement shall have any voting or approval rights
hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider under such agreements, nor shall their consent be required (other than in their capacities as a Lender to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any
of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of the Collateral or any Subsidiary Guarantors. 

(c) The Administrative Agent accepts no responsibility and shall have no liability for the calculation of the exposure owing by the Loan
Parties under any such Designated Cash Management Agreement or Designated Hedging Agreement, and shall be entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable Cash Management Party, Hedging Party or the Borrower Representative (in the case of any Dealer
Polling), as the case may be, in each case party to such agreement for the calculation thereof.

(b) “Present Fair Salable Value” 

The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets of the Parent Borrower and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.

(d) “Identified Contingent Liabilities” 

The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties,
uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after giving effect to the Transactions (including all fees and expenses related thereto but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to
the extent reflected in Stated Liabilities), as identified and explained in terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by responsible officers of the Parent Borrower.

of the Transactions is a going concern and has sufficient capital to ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for such period.

1. The Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns to the Assignee without recourse to the Assignor, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably

any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (d) agrees that it shall not be permitted to (A) attend or participate in, and shall not attend or participate in, any “lender-only” meetings or receive any related
“lender-only” information, (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such
information or materials have been made available to the Parent Borrower or its representatives or (C) receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or challenge their attorney client privilege; (e) appoints and
authorizes each applicable Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as

 4. The Assignee hereby confirms, in accordance with Subsection 11.6(h) of the Credit Agreement,
