Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the

Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

 SECTION 2.05 Interest Elections. 

(a) Elections by the Borrower. The Loans comprising each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing
Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as
a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable. 
 (c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
  

	 	(i)	the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in
which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(iv)	if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and
permitted under Section 2.02(d). 

 (d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following
receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect
to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Eurodollar Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor. 

  
 A-47 

 SECTION 2.06 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Commitment
Termination Date. 
 (b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Commitments; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of any Commitments) and (ii) the Borrower shall
not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments. 

(c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or
reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any
such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by
the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or another transaction (such as a change of control transaction) or other incurrence of Indebtedness, in which case such notice may be revoked
by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 

(d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the
Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.07 Repayment and
Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) Repayment. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the applicable Maturity Date. 
 (b)
Amortization. The Borrower shall make principal payments on (i) the Initial Term Loans in equal installments on each Quarterly Date, commencing with the Quarterly Date of the first full fiscal quarter following the Initial Term Loan
Borrowing Date, in an aggregate amount equal to (x) for the first (1st) through twelfth (12th) full fiscal quarters following the Initial Term Loan Borrowing Date, 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans made on the
Initial Term Loan Borrowing Date and (y) for each fiscal quarter thereafter, 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans made on the Initial Term Loan Borrowing Date, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), per fiscal
quarter with final payment to be made no later than the applicable Maturity Date and (ii) the Term B-1 Loans in equal installments on each Quarterly Date, commencing with the Quarterly Date of the first
full fiscal quarter following the Term B-1 Increase Effective Date, in an aggregate amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of Term B-1 Loans made on the
Term B-1 Increase Effective Date. In the event that any Other Loans are made, the Borrower shall repay such Other Loans on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the related Increase Joinder, Refinancing
Amendment or Extension Amendment, as applicable. 

  
 A-48 

 (c) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(d) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records (including the Register
maintained pursuant to Section 9.04(c)) in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become
due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(e) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section (including
the Register maintained pursuant to Section 9.04(c)) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain
such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(f) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall
prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns, in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at
all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns. 

SECTION 2.08 Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Loans (or one or more Classes of Loans) in whole or in part,
without premium or penalty (except as specifically provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.08(a)), but subject to the break funding payments required by Section 2.13 and subject to prior notice in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.08(e); provided that each such prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and with respect to Revolving Loans, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of any Loan).
Any such prepayment made with the proceeds from any issuance or incurrence of Refinancing Notes or Refinancing Term Loans shall be made no later than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such Refinancing Notes or Refinancing Term
Loans, as the case may be, are issued or incurred. If any Repricing Event occurs on or prior to the date occurring 6 months after the Term B-1 Increase Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with Term B-1 Loans that are subject to such Repricing Event, a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B-1 Loans subject to such Repricing Event. Such fees shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of the occurrence of such Repricing Event. 

(b) Beginning on the Term B-1 Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall apply all Net Proceeds within
ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof to prepay Initial Term Loans and Term B-1 Loans in accordance with clauses (c) and (e) of Section 2.08. 

(c) Except as otherwise provided in any Extension Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or Increase Joinder and subject to the terms of any
Intercreditor Agreement, mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.08(b) shall be applied to reduce scheduled repayments required under Section 2.07(b), first, in direct order to such scheduled repayments due on the next eight
Quarterly Dates 

  
 A-49 

 occurring following such prepayment and, second, on a pro rata basis among the repayments remaining
to be made on each other Quarterly Date; provided that any mandatory prepayment contemplated by Section 2.08(b) (x) shall be shared with the Term B-1 Lenders so that the Term B-1 Loans are prepaid on a pro rata basis and (y) may be shared with other creditors that hold senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks pari
passu with the Liens that secure the Obligations (solely to the extent a mandatory prepayment, redemption or offer to redeem is required for such senior Indebtedness pursuant to the applicable financing agreements governing such senior
Indebtedness) so that the Loans and any such senior secured Indebtedness requiring such prepayment or redemption are prepaid or redeemed on a pro rata basis. Any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(a) shall be applied to
the remaining installments of the Term Loans (or applicable Class(es) of Term Loans) being prepaid as the Borrower may direct. 
 (d) Not
later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the annual financial statements are, or are required to be, delivered under Section 5.02(a) with respect to each Excess Cash Flow Period, if and to the extent the amount of such
Excess Cash Flow is greater than $0, the Borrower shall apply an amount to prepay Term B-1 Loans equal to (i) the Required Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the sum of
(x) prepayments of Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(a) during such fiscal year, (y) purchases of Loans pursuant to Section 2.20 and Section 9.04(b)(v) by the Borrower during such fiscal year (determined by the actual cash
purchase price paid by the Borrower for any such purchase and not the par value of the Loans purchased by Borrower) and (z) voluntary prepayments of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary secured by a Lien on the Collateral that
ranks pari passu with the Liens that secure the Obligations during such fiscal year, in each case, except to the extent financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness and, in the case of any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to
Section 2.08(a), only to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of Revolving Commitments on a dollar-for-dollar basis. 

(e) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (as confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder
(i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of such prepayment, and (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of another credit
facility, the closing of a securities offering or other transaction or (in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.08(b)) receipt (or deemed receipt in accordance with the definition thereof) of Net Proceeds, in which case such notice
may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the Class of Loans to be prepaid, the
principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply
fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.08. Prepayments shall be accompanied by
accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10. 

  
 A-50 

 SECTION 2.09 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee,
which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date such Revolving
Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date. All
commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Revolving Commitment
of a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Revolving Lender. 

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Lender a
participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate applicable to interest on Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure of
Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the
date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on
demand. Any other fees payable to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) Administrative Agent Fees. The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

(d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative
Agent for distribution, in the case of ticking fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.10 Interest. 

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate. 
 (b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 

  
 A-51 

 (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on
any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest,
after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal amounts, 2% per annum above the interest rate otherwise applicable thereto pursuant to this Section 2.10 and (ii) in the case of other
overdue amounts, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate. 
 (d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in
arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the applicable Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand; (ii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end
of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e)
Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate
shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.11
Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a)
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as
applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative
Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing upon the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a
Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.12 Increased Costs. 

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

	 	(i)	impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,
any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; 

  
 A-52 

	 	(ii)	result in any increase in Tax to any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.14 and any Excluded Taxes); or 

 

	 	(iii)	impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
participation therein; 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any
Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in
or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), in each case by an amount reasonably deemed by such
Lender to be material, then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing
Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the
Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or
such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A
certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due hereunder within 15 days after receipt of any such certificate. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

  
 A-53 

 (e) Termination. If any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to
paragraph (c) above, the Borrower shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to terminate its Commitment (if outstanding) and to pay such Lender in immediately
available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the day of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder (including under Section 2.13); provided that no
such termination shall conflict with any law, rule, or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority. 
 SECTION 2.13 Break Funding
Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other
than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified by the Borrower in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is
permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08(e) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16(b) or Section 2.12(e) of any Eurodollar Loan other
than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for its loss, cost and expense (excluding lost profits) attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss
to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the
principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the
Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that
such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for Dollar deposits from other
banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount due hereunder within 15 days after receipt of any such certificate. 

SECTION 2.14 Taxes. 
 (a)
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower or other
applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to deduct and withhold any Taxes, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such
deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or an Other Tax, then the sum payable shall be
increased by the Borrower as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) each Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be (or, in the case of
a payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. 

  
 A-54 

 (b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay
any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect
to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any Other Taxes payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any
payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) (i) Each Lender or Issuing Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable withholding Tax (including backup
withholding Tax), with respect to any payment under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to permit such payments to be made without such withholding Tax or at a reduced rate. Each Lender or Issuing Bank
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14(e). 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or
the 
 Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank is legally eligible to do so), whichever of the following is
applicable: 
 (I) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 

(II) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor
forms), 
 (III) in the case of a Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit F-1, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such
Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the
Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in

 Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents
are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms), 

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender or
Issuing Bank is a partnership, or a participating Lender granting a typical participation), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by a Form
W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit F-2, Exhibit F-3 or Exhibit F-4, as applicable, Form W-9, and/or
other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender
or Issuing Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender or Issuing Bank shall provide a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit F-3, on behalf of such
beneficial owner(s) (in lieu of requiring each beneficial owner to provide such certificate); and 
 (V) any other form
prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 (iii) If a payment made to a Lender
or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Issuing Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in
Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as
may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, determine whether such Lender or Issuing Bank has complied with such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s obligations under FATCA and to
determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause 
 (iii), “FATCA” shall
include any amendments made to FATCA after the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date. 
 (iv) Any Lender or Issuing Bank that is a
“United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time
to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying
that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding. 
 Each Lender or Issuing Bank shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s circumstances renders any such forms, certificates or other documentation so delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, promptly (1) deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor documentation (including any new documentation 

  
 A-56 

 reasonable requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), properly completed and duly executed by such
Lender or Issuing Bank, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s status or that such Lender or Issuing Bank is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction in any applicable withholding Tax or (2) notify Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its legal ineligibility to deliver any such forms, certificates or other documentation. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14(e), a Lender or Issuing Bank shall not be required to deliver any documentation
that such Lender or Issuing Bank is not legally eligible to deliver. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.14, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount
paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing
Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.14(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential in its reasonable discretion) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 (g) Solely for
purposes of FATCA, this Agreement and all Loans made hereunder (including any Revolving Loans) have, at all times, not qualified as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
 (h) For the avoidance of doubt, the term “applicable
law” in this Section 2.14 includes FATCA. 
 SECTION 2.15 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. 

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest,
fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, Section 2.13 or Section 2.14, or otherwise), or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein), prior to 2:00 pm,
New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the
next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at the address provided pursuant to Section 9.01, except as otherwise expressly provided in
the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14 and Section 9.03, which shall be made directly
to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder or other 

  
 A-57 

 action to be taken by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment or action shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under
any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) shall be made in Dollars. 
 (b) Application of Insufficient
Payments. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting (A) a specific payment of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied
as specified by the Borrower), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.08), or (C) proceeds of any Collateral, or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct to exercise remedies in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, shall be applied, subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (i) first, to pay interest and
fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.15(b), unreimbursed LC Disbursements shall be treated the same as principal then due hereunder. 

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to transactions
contemplated by Section 2.18, 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 or 9.04(b)(v)): (i) each Borrowing shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.09 shall be made for account of the Revolving Lenders, and each termination or
reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.06 shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments of the
applicable Class; (ii) each Borrowing of a Class shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of
such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro
rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro
rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans of such Class then due and payable to the respective Lenders. 
 (d)
Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in
such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be
equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

  

	 	(i)	if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest; and 

  
 A-58 

	 	(ii)	the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
pursuant to transactions contemplated by Section 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 or 9.04(b)(v) and including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.15(d) shall
apply, unless pursuant to Section 2.20 or 9.04(b)(v)). 

 The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (e) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by the
Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the
case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (f)
Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04, Section 2.15(e) or 2.22(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are
fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to
indemnify or pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

  
 A-59 

 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12,
or if the Borrower is required to indemnify or pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender shall
withhold its consent (any such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) to any amendment, waiver or other modification to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of all
the Lenders or each affected Lender and that has been consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
  

	 	(i)	the Borrower or applicable assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.04; 

 

	 	(ii)	such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

  

	 	(iii)	in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments thereafter; 

  

	 	(iv)	such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; 

  

	 	(v)	in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or
modification. 

 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 2.16, it shall
promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any promissory notes issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans; provided that
the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register. 

SECTION 2.17 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) commitment fees
shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a); 

(b) the Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all
Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all
Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; 

  
 A-60 

 (c) if any LC Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the
non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving
Credit Exposures and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall
within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to
any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to
Section 2.17(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is
reallocated pursuant to Section 2.17(c), then the fees otherwise payable to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with
such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Facility; and 

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to
Section 2.17(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion
of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank
until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; 
 (d) so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders
and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and 

  
 A-61 

 (e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of
principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(d) but excluding Section 2.16(b)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting
Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to such Issuing Bank hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Bank, to be held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender of any participating interest in any Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of
any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held
in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender of any Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or an Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or such Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and
(viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect
of LC Disbursements for which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 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. 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied
all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par
such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

Subject to Section 9.15, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a
Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting
Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 SECTION 2.18 Extensions of Loans. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrower to all
Lenders of any Class of Loans or Commitments on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Loans or Commitments of such Class), and on the same terms to each such Lender (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”),
the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders that agree to such transactions from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments of such Class and to otherwise modify
the terms of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including, without limitation, increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s
Loans and/or, with respect to Term Loans, modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Term Loans). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the 

  
 A-62 

 preceding sentence shall mean that all of the Loans or Commitments of such Class are offered to be extended
for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same. Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between the Borrower and any such Lender (an
“Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by implementing an Other Loan for such Lender (such extended Loan, an “Extended Loan”) or another Class of commitments for such Lender (such extended
Commitment, an “Extended Commitment”). Each Pro Rata Extension Offer shall specify the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Extended Loan shall be made, which shall be a date not earlier than ten (10) Business Days
after the date on which notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). 

(b) The Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an amendment to this Agreement (an
“Extension Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Commitments or Extended Loans of such Extending Lender. Each Extension Amendment shall specify the
terms of the applicable Extended Commitments or Extended Loans; provided that (i) the terms applicable to such Extended Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates and any other pricing
terms and, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this proviso, optional prepayment, mandatory prepayment (with respect to Term Loans), amortization (with respect to Term Loans) or redemption terms or final maturity date, which shall be as agreed
between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Extended Loans) shall (when taken as a whole and as determined by the Borrower in good faith) be substantially similar to, or not materially less favorable to the Borrower than, the terms, taken as
a whole, applicable to the existing Class of Loans or Commitments being extended (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Maturity Date then in effect of the existing Class of Loans being
extended or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Loans and Extended Commitments shall be no earlier than ninety-one (91) days
after the Latest Maturity Date in effect with respect to such Class as such offer relates on the date of incurrence, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Loans and Extended Commitments shall be no shorter than the
remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Loans to which such offer relates, (iv) any Extended Loans in the form of Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a
greater than pro rata basis) than the Initial Term Loans and the Term B-1 Loans in any mandatory prepayment hereunder, and (v) before and after giving effect to the Extension Amendment, no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended without the consent of any other Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and
terms of the Extended Loans or Extended Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.02. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably
withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. 
 (c) Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending
Lender’s Loan or Commitments will be automatically designated an Extended Loan or Extended Commitments. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.18), (i) no Extended Loan is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) any Extending Lender may
extend all or any portion of its Loans or Commitments pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Loan or Extended Commitments), (iii)
there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or Commitments at any time or from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Loan implemented thereby, (iv) all Extended
Loans and Extended Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that rank equally and ratably in right of security with all other Obligations of the
Class being extended, and (v) there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrowers) and no guarantors (other than the Guarantors) in respect of any such Extended Loans or Extended Commitments. 

  
 A-63 

 (e) Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro
Rata Extension Offer; provided, that the Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension,
including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments. 
 SECTION 2.19 Refinancing Amendments. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or
more additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (such loans, “Refinancing Term Loans”), all cash proceeds from the incurrence, issuance or sale by the Borrower of which Refinancing Term Loans, net of all taxes paid or
reasonably estimated to be payable, directly or indirectly, as a result thereof and fees (including investment banking fees, underwriting fees and discounts), commissions, costs and other expenses, in each case incurred in connection with such
incurrence, issuance or sale, are used to Refinance in whole or in part any Loans (or one or more Class(es) of Loans). Each such notice shall specify the applicable Class(es) of Loans being refinanced and the date (each, a “Refinancing
Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not earlier than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent
(or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that: 
  

	 	(i)	before and after giving effect to the borrowing of such Refinancing Term Loans on the Refinancing Effective Date: 

(A) the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and
correct in all material respects (except in the case of any such representations and warranty that expressly relates to an earlier given date or period, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of the respective earlier date or respective period, as the case may be); and 
 (B) no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing; 
  

	 	(ii)	the final maturity date of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the refinanced Loans; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the refinanced Loans; 

 

	 	(iv)	the aggregate principal amount of the Refinancing Term Loans shall not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the refinanced Loans plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including original
issue discount) and accrued interest associated therewith; 

  
 A-64 

	 	(v)	all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates and any other pricing terms and optional prepayment, mandatory
prepayment, amortization or redemption terms, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans) shall (when taken as a whole and as determined by the Borrower in good faith) be substantially similar
to, or not materially less favorable to the Borrower than, the terms (taken as a whole) applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date then
in effect or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided that any Refinancing Term Loans that are unsecured or rank junior in right of security to the Initial Term Loans and the Term B-1 Loans shall not have scheduled amortization commencing prior to the Latest Maturity Date other than at a nominal rate; 

  

	 	(vi)	with respect to Refinancing Term Loans secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank junior in right of security to the Initial Term Loans and Term B-1 Loans, such Liens will be
subject to a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement; 

  

	 	(vii)	there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrower) and no guarantors (other than the Guarantors) in respect of such Refinancing Term Loans (unless such other borrower or guarantor provides a Guarantee of the
Obligations on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent substantially concurrently with the making of such Refinancing Term Loans); 

  

	 	(viii)	Refinancing Term Loans shall not be secured by any asset of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral (or assets that become Collateral substantially concurrently with the making of such Refinancing
Term Loans); and 

  

	 	(ix)	Refinancing Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the
applicable Refinancing Amendment. 

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower may by
written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or more additional facilities (“Replacement Revolving Facilities”) providing for revolving commitments (“Replacement Revolving Commitments” and the revolving
loans thereunder, “Replacement Revolving Loans”), which replace in whole or in part any Class of Revolving Commitments under this Agreement. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Replacement Revolving
Facility Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Replacement Revolving Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to
the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided, that: (i) before and after giving effect to the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Commitments on the
Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; (ii) after giving effect to the establishment of any Replacement Revolving Commitments and any concurrent reduction in the
aggregate amount of any other Revolving Commitments, the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Replacement Revolving Facility
Effective Date plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including original issue discount) and accrued interest associated therewith; (iii) no Replacement Revolving Commitments shall have a final maturity date (or require
commitment reductions or amortizations) prior to the Revolving Facility Commitment Termination Date for the Revolving Commitments being replaced; (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement 

  
 A-65 

 Revolving Facility (other than provisions relating to (x) fees, interest rates and other pricing terms and
prepayment and commitment reduction and optional redemption terms which shall be as agreed between the applicable Borrower and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments and (y) the amount of any letter of credit sublimit
under such Replacement Revolving Facility, which shall be as agreed between the applicable Borrower, the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the replacement issuing bank, if any, under such
Replacement Revolving Commitments) taken as a whole shall (as determined by the applicable Borrower in good faith) be substantially similar to, or no more restrictive to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries than, those applicable to the Revolving
Commitments so replaced (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Commitments in effect at the time of incurrence or are otherwise reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent); and (v) there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrowers) and no guarantors (other than the Guarantors) in respect of such Replacement Revolving Facility; and (vi) Replacement Revolving
Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder shall not be secured by any asset of Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral. Solely to the extent that an Issuing Bank is not a replacement issuing bank under a Replacement Revolving
Facility, it is understood and agreed that such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any letters of credit under such Replacement Revolving Facility and, to the extent it is necessary for such Issuing Bank to withdraw as an Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, at the time of the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility, such withdrawal shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each
Issuing Bank in full upon demand, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost or expense attributable to such withdrawal. 

(c) The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted assignee pursuant to Section 9.04 to provide all or
a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments; provided, that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments may elect or decline,
in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Loan or Replacement Revolving Commitments. Any Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Loans
for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, further, that any Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment governing such Refinancing Term Loans or
Replacement Revolving Commitments, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Loans made to the Borrower. 

(d) Any Borrower and each Lender providing the applicable Refinancing Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Commitments (as applicable) shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an amendment to this Agreement (a “Refinancing Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Refinancing Term Loans
and/or Replacement Revolving Commitments (as applicable). For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if a Lender is providing a Refinancing Term Loan, such Lender will be deemed to have an Other Term Loan having the terms of such
Refinancing Term Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.19), (i) no Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Commitment is
required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) there shall be no condition to any incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Commitment at any time or from time to time other than those set forth in
clauses (a) or (b) above, as applicable, and (iii) all Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that rank
equally and ratably in right of security with the Initial Term Loans, the Term B-1 Loans and other Obligations (other than Refinancing Term 

  
 A-66 

 Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments that rank junior in right of security, and except to the extent any
such Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments are secured by the Collateral on a junior lien basis in accordance with the provisions above). Upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended
without the consent of any other Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.02.
Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. 

SECTION 2.20 Loan Repurchases. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to below, the Borrower may from time to time, at its discretion, conduct modified
Dutch auctions in order to purchase its Term Loans of one or more Classes (as determined by the Borrower) (each, a “Purchase Offer”), each such Purchase Offer to be managed exclusively by the Administrative Agent (or such other
financial institution chosen by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: 

 

	 	(i)	each Purchase Offer shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.20 and the Auction Procedures; 

 

	 	(ii)	no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each notice of an auction and at the time of (and immediately after giving effect to) the purchase of any Term Loans in connection
with any Purchase Offer; 

  

	 	(iii)	the principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of each and all Classes of Term Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in any such Purchase Offer shall be no less than $50,000,000 (unless another amount
is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (across all such Classes); 

  

	 	(iv)	the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes so purchased by the Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower
on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold) (without any increase to Consolidated EBITDA as a result of any gains associated with cancellation of debt), and in no event shall the Borrower be entitled to any vote hereunder
in connection with such Term Loans; 

  

	 	(v)	no more than one Purchase Offer with respect to any Class may be ongoing at any one time; 

  

	 	(vi)	no Purchase Offer may be made with the proceeds of the Revolving Facility and at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through a Purchase Offer, there must be at least $500,000,000 of unborrowed commitments under the
Revolving Facility; provided that this clause (vi) shall not be applicable if, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of such Purchase Offer, all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued
and payable) shall have been paid in full and any commitment of any Lender hereunder to extend credit to the Borrower shall have terminated or expired; 

  
 A-67 

	 	(vii)	at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through a Purchase Offer, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager an officer’s certificate of a Financial Officer certifying as to compliance with the
preceding clause (vi); and 

  

	 	(viii)	any Purchase Offer with respect to any Class shall be offered to all Lenders holding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis. 

(b) The Borrower must terminate any Purchase Offer if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to
be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Purchase Offer. If the Borrower commences any Purchase Offer (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at
the time of the commencement of such Purchase Offer have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the
consummation of such Purchase Offer shall be satisfied, then the Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of such Purchase Offer as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are
required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of consummation of such Purchase Offer, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans of any
Class or Classes made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering
documents), if any, on the purchased Loans of the applicable Class or Classes up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Loans, in each
case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.08 hereof. 

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Purchase Offers and the other transactions effected pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.20; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Purchase Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, it is
understood and agreed that the provisions of Sections 2.13 and 9.04 will not apply to the purchases of Term Loans pursuant to Purchase Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.20. The Auction Manager
acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article VIII and Section 9.03 to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the
Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Purchase Offer. 

SECTION 2.21 Increase in Commitments. 

(a) Borrower Request. Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more new
Term Commitments (each an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) or, prior to the Revolving Facility Commitment Termination Date, one or more increases in the Revolving Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental
Revolving Commitment” and, together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Loan Commitments”); provided that, on the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitment is established, the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness, Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Loan Commitments incurred from and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date shall not exceed the Incremental Amount. Each such
notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the increased or new Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date
on which such notice is delivered to the 

  
 A-68 

 Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each person (which much be a person to whom Loans are
permitted to be assigned pursuant to Section 9.04(b)) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such increased or new Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to
provide all or a portion of the increased or new Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Commitment. 

(b) Conditions. The increased or new Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that: 

 

	 	(i)	The Administrative Agent shall have received a Borrowing Request as required by Section 2.03; 

  

	 	(ii)	each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower set forth in Article III hereof or in any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of Increase Effective Date
(except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and, to the extent such representations and warranties are
qualified as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar language, such representations shall be true and correct in all respects); provided, that, in the case of Incremental Term Loans incurred to make an acquisition or other
investment permitted to be made hereunder, such representations and warranties to be made on the Increase Effective Date shall be limited to the Specified Representations and the “acquisition agreement representations” (or similar
representations) conformed as appropriate for such transaction; 

  

	 	(iii)	no Default (or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans incurred to make an acquisition or other investment permitted hereunder no Event of Default described in Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i)) shall have occurred
and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. 

(c) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms of Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be, except as
otherwise set forth herein or in the Increase Joinder, identical to (i) the Term B-1 Loans (“Incremental Term B Loans”) or (ii) the Initial Term Loans (“Incremental Term A
Loans,” and, together with any Incremental Term B Loan, the “Incremental Term Loans”) (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be part of an existing Class of Term Loans); provided that (i) the
final maturity date of (x) all Incremental Term B Loans shall not be earlier than the latest Maturity Date with respect to the Term B-1 Loans then in effect and (y) all Incremental Term Loans shall
not be earlier than the latest Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Term Loans then in effect, (ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of all (x) Incremental Term B Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average
Life to Maturity of the existing Term B-1 Loans and (y) Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of all existing Initial Term Loans, (iii) Incremental
Term Loans shall not participate on a greater than pro rata basis with the Term Loans in any mandatory prepayments hereunder (other than scheduled amortization payments), (iv) the All-in Yield for
(x) the new Incremental Term A Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and (y) the new Incremental Term B Loans shall be determined by the 

  
 A-69 

 Borrower and the applicable new Lenders, except that the All-in Yield in
respect of any such Incremental Term B Loans may exceed the All-in Yield in respect of the Term B-1 Loans by no more than 0.50%, or if it does so exceed such All-in Yield (such difference, the “Term Yield Differential”) then the Applicable Rate (or the “Adjusted LIBO Rate floor” as provided in the following proviso) applicable to such Term B-1 Loans shall be increased such that after giving effect to such increase, the Term Yield Differential shall not exceed 0.50%; provided that to the extent any portion of the Term Yield Differential is
attributable to a higher “Adjusted LIBO Rate floor” being applicable to such Incremental Term B Loans, such floor shall only be included in the calculation of the Term Yield Differential to the extent such floor is greater than the
Adjusted LIBO Rate in effect for an Interest Period of three months’ duration at such time, and, with respect to such excess, the “Adjusted LIBO Rate floor” applicable to the outstanding Term
B-1 Loans shall be increased to an amount not to exceed the “Adjusted LIBO Rate floor” applicable to such Incremental Term B Loans prior to any increase in the Applicable Rate applicable to such Term
B-1 Loans then outstanding, and (v) all other terms applicable to such Incremental Term Loans (other than those specified in clauses (i) through (v) above) shall not be more restrictive (taken
as a whole) than those applicable to the Revolving Facility, Initial Term Loans or Term B-1 Loans, except to the extent (a) this Agreement shall be modified to grant the Revolving Facility, Initial Term
Loans and Term B-1 Loans the benefit of such more restrictive provisions, (b) applicable solely to periods after the Latest Maturity Date in effect at the time of incurrence or issuance of such
Incremental Term Loans or (c) as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. The terms of any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be the same as those of the Revolving Commitment or any Extended Commitment;
provided that any Replacement Revolving Commitment may have a later maturity date than, and pricing and fees different from, those applicable to the Revolving Commitment and Extended Commitment. 

The increased or new Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased or new Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if a Lender is providing an Incremental Term Loan,
such Lender will be deemed to have an Other Loan having the terms of such Incremental Term Loan. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Loans shall be deemed, unless
the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Term Loans and Loans under any Incremental Revolving Commitment, made pursuant to this Agreement. 

(d) Adjustment of Revolving Loans. If any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit shall be outstanding on the relevant Increase Effective
Date, the Borrower shall have borrowed Revolving Loans from each of the Lenders providing Incremental Revolving Commitments on the Increase Effective Date, and such Lenders shall have made Revolving Loans to the Borrower (in the case of Eurodollar
Loans, with Interest Period(s) ending on the date(s) of any then outstanding Interest Period(s)) and shall be deemed to have acquired participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit, and (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.15
requiring that borrowings and prepayments be made ratably in accordance with the principal amounts of the Loans held by the Lenders) the Borrower in coordination with the Administrative Agent shall have taken such actions, including, if necessary,
prepaying Loans held by the other Revolving Lenders (together with accrued interest thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 as a result of such payment) in such amounts as may be necessary so that after giving effect to such
Revolving Loans, purchases and prepayments the Revolving Loans (and Interest Period(s) of Eurodollar Loan(s)) and the LC Exposure shall be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of their Revolving
Commitments (as so increased) and, in that connection, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have released any Revolving Lenders so deemed to have sold 

  
 A-70 

 participations in outstanding Letters of Credit on the date of such replacement from such sold participation. If
there is a new borrowing of Revolving Loans on such Increase Effective Date, the Revolving Lenders after giving effect to such Increase Effective Date shall make such Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.01(b). 

(e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments
under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Collateral
Documents, except that the new Loans may be subordinated in right of payment or the Liens securing the new Loans may be subordinated, in each case, as set forth in the Increase Joinder. The Loan Parties and Pledgors shall take any actions reasonably
required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such
Class of Loans or any such new Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.22 Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Revolving Loans provided for in
Section 2.01(b), the Borrower may request an Issuing Bank to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period, Letters of Credit for its own account in such form as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Issuing Bank in its reasonable determination. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Commitments. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended,
renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount
of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall
submit a letter of credit application on the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall control. No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank now or hereafter applicable to letters of credit generally
(including, for the avoidance, with respect to whether such Issuing Bank may issue trade and commercial letters of credit). 
 (c)
Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (A) (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that)
immediately after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $150,000,000, (ii) the LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank does not exceed its
Letter of 

  
 A-71 

 Credit Sublimit (unless such Issuing Bank agrees to do so in its sole discretion) and (iii) the total
Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, and (B) the Issuing Bank shall not have received written notice from the Administrative Agent (at the request of the Required Lenders) at least one Business Day
prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension that one or more of the conditions contained in Section 4.02 shall not be satisfied with respect thereto. 

(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve
months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Commitment Termination Date; provided, that a Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic
renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (but shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above). 

(e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by an
Issuing Bank, and without any further action on the part of an Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations and fund ABR Loans pursuant to this sentence of this clause (e) and the next sentence hereof 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 Revolving Commitments. 

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the applicable Issuing Bank promptly upon the request of the applicable Issuing Bank at any time
from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each such payment shall be deemed to be an ABR
Loan by such Revolving Lender and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving
Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.
Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to the next following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the
Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. 

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the
applicable Issuing Bank in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives
notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such
time. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. The Borrower’s obligations under this clause (f) shall be satisfied to the extent of the making of ABR Loans under clause (e) above. 

  
 A-72 

 (g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or
(iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the
Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 
 Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their
Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank 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 an Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank
from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused
by any Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that: 

 

	 	(i)	The applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice
or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 

 

	 	(ii)	The applicable Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; and 

  

	 	(iii)	this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the applicable Issuing Bank when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and
the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing). 

  
 A-73 

 (h) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such
demand for payment and whether the applicable Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the
applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (i) Interim Interest. If the applicable
Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement (including
through the making of ABR Loans as contemplated above), when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.10(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of the applicable Issuing Bank,
except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such
payment. 
 (j) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and
obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing
Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(k) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice
from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into an account established and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent, which account may be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York), in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of
such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice
of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance
of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. 
 The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including
the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk
and expense (provided that absent the Borrower’s express written agreement, 

  
 A-74 

 the only such investments will be in cash equivalent investments), such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed
and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with
LC Exposure representing 100% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower (together with all interest or profits, if any, thereon) within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 

(l) Resignation. Subject to the consent of the Borrower, any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit.

Section 5.04 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more than once during any calendar year; provided, further, that, when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of
their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing, upon reasonable notice and as often as reasonably requested, at any time during normal business hours. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 5.04, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making of extracts, or discussion of, any documents, information or other matters that (i) constitute non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or applicable Lenders (or any of

privilege or constitutes attorney work-product.

connection with the Security Agreement and to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied and the security interest created under the Security Agreement (upon the execution and delivery thereof) to be and remain a valid
and perfected security interest (with respect to any assets that are required to constitute Collateral at the time of such request pursuant to this Agreement), all at the expense of the Borrower and provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to
time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents; provided that the foregoing shall not

(20) days after the date such Subsidiary is formed or acquired or meets such criteria (or first becomes subject to such requirement) (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), notify the Administrative
Agent thereof and, within sixty (60) days after the date such Subsidiary is formed or acquired or meets such criteria (or first becomes subject to such requirement) or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole
discretion, cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor and Pledgor and 

  
 A-86 

 cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such Subsidiary; provided
that the foregoing shall not require the delivery of any document, financing statement, legal opinion or instrument or the taking of any action, in each case in respect of such Subsidiary, of a type described on Schedule 7 until the date
required pursuant to Section 5.09. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, (i) in no circumstance shall any Excluded Subsidiary become a Guarantor or a Pledgor unless designated as a Guarantor or
Pledgor, as applicable, by Borrower in its sole discretion and (ii) to the extent the holders of any Subsidiary’s equity interests are prohibited from granting Liens on such equity interests to secure the Secured Obligations by any
applicable Law, or the grant of any such Lien would require consent, approval, license or authorization of a Governmental Authority (unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received), in no circumstance shall such equity
interests required to be pledged to secure the Secured Obligations. 
 SECTION 5.07 CoBank Equity. 

(a) So long as CoBank is a Lender hereunder, the Borrower will acquire equity in CoBank in such amounts and at such times as CoBank may require
in accordance with CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time), except that the maximum amount of equity that the Borrower may be required to purchase in CoBank in connection with the Loans made
by CoBank hereunder may not exceed the maximum amount permitted by CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan at the time this Agreement is entered into. The Borrower acknowledges receipt of a copy of (i) CoBank’s most recent annual report
available prior to the Original Effective Date, and if more recent, CoBank’s latest quarterly report available prior to the Original Effective Date, (ii) CoBank’s Notice to Prospective Stockholders as in effect prior to the Original
Effective Date and (iii) CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan as in effect prior to the Original Effective Date, which describe the nature of all of the Borrower’s stock and other equities in CoBank acquired in connection with its
patronage loan from CoBank (the “CoBank Equities”) as well as capitalization requirements, and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. 

(b) Each party hereto acknowledges that CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time upon notice to the
Borrower) shall govern (x) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the CoBank Equities and any patronage refunds or other distributions made on account thereof or on account of the Borrower’s patronage with CoBank,
(y) the Borrower’s eligibility for patronage distributions from CoBank (in the form of CoBank Equities and cash) and (z) patronage distributions, if any, in the event of a sale of a participation interest. CoBank reserves the right to
assign or sell participations in all or any part of its Loans or Commitments on a non-patronage basis. 

(c) Each party hereto acknowledges that CoBank has a statutory first lien pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (as amended from time to
time) on all CoBank Equities that the Borrower may now own or hereafter acquire, which statutory lien shall be for CoBank’s sole and exclusive benefit. The CoBank Equities shall not constitute security for the Obligations due to any other
Lender. To the extent that any of the Loan Documents create a Lien on the CoBank Equities or on patronage accrued by CoBank for the account of the Borrower (including, in each case, proceeds thereof), such Lien shall be for CoBank’s sole and
exclusive benefit and shall not be subject to pro rata sharing hereunder. Neither the CoBank Equities nor any accrued patronage shall be offset against the Obligations except that, in the event of an Event of Default, CoBank may elect to
apply the cash portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts due under this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that any corresponding tax liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of the
Borrower. CoBank shall have no obligation to retire the CoBank Equities upon any Event of Default, Default or any other default by the Borrower or at any other time, either for application to the Obligations or otherwise.

recordation of any Loan Document, and (b) do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and

time in order to (i) carry out the purposes of the Loan Documents, (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject any Loan Party’s issued and outstanding equity interests to the Liens granted by the Pledge Agreement
to the extent required thereunder and (iii) perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of the Pledge Agreement and (upon the execution and delivery thereof) the Security Agreement and any of the Liens created thereunder. 

SECTION 5.09 Post-Closing Actions. The Borrower agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered such documents and instruments, and take or
cause to be taken such other actions as set forth on Schedule 7 as soon as commercially reasonable and by no later than the date set forth on Schedule 7, as such time periods may be extended by the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion; provided that any extension to after the date that is 270 days after the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall require the consent of the Required Lenders. 

SECTION 5.10 Ratings. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and to maintain public ratings from Moody’s
and Standard & Poor’s for the Term B-1 Loans; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to obtain or maintain any specific rating .

 A-94 

 (C) such new Indebtedness has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time
incurred which is not less than the shorter of (i) the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, exchanged, acquired or retired and (ii) the Weighted Average Life
to Maturity that would result if all payments of principal on the Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired that were due on or after the date one year following the stated maturity date of any Securities of any
series then Outstanding (as defined in the Senior Notes Indenture) were instead due on such date one year following the stated maturity date of such Securities; and 

(D) the obligor of such new Indebtedness does not include any Restricted Subsidiary that is not an obligor of the Indebtedness
being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, exchanged, acquired or retired;

of the definition of “Applicable Amount”; plus 
 (B) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies
received by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries after September 25, 2015; less 
 (C) the amount of any

provided, further, that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Borrower, or its Restricted Subsidiaries from members of
management of the Borrower, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of its direct or indirect parent
companies will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this Section 6.10 or any other provision of this Agreement; 

  
 A-95 

	 	(v)	the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or preferred stock of any of the Borrower’s
Restricted Subsidiaries issued in accordance with Section 6.08(a); 

  

	 	(vi)	repurchases of Equity Interests (A) deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options, warrants or similar instruments if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price or taxes payable in respect of

(B) customary salary, bonus and other benefits payable to officers and employees of any direct or indirect parent company of
the Borrower to the extent such salaries, bonuses and other benefits are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; 
  

	 	(ix)	payments to holders of Equity Interests (or to the holders of Indebtedness that is convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Interests upon such conversion or exchange) in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares;

  

	 	(x)	other Restricted Payments; provided that the amount of any such Restricted Payment, when taken together with the amount of all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (x), does not exceed
the greater of (A) $750.0 million and (B) 2.5% of Total Assets; provided, further, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, such Restricted Payment, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would
occur as a consequence thereof; and 

  

	 	(xi)	any Restricted Payments made in connection with the closing of the Verizon Acquisition. 

 The amount of all
Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant
to the Restricted Payment. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.10, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in Section 6.10(a), clauses (i) through
(xi) of Section 6.10(b) or the definition of “Permitted Investments,” the Borrower will be permitted to classify such Restricted 

  
 A-96 

 Payment and later reclassify all or a portion of such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this
Section 6.10. In addition, a Restricted Payment need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Restricted Payment but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this
Section 6.10 permitting such Restricted Payment. 
 (c) In the case of the Borrower only, declare or make, directly or indirectly, any
Restricted Payment, or incur any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to do so, in each case if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such action or will result therefrom (but excluding the payment of dividends declared
and announced by the board of directors of the Borrower at a time when no Event of Default existed). 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 6.10, the Borrower shall not: 
  

	 	(i)	declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of the Borrower’s common Equity Interests, including any dividend or distribution payable on account of the Borrower’s common Equity Interests in
connection with any merger or consolidation, in an amount which, when aggregated with all other such dividends or distributions and any amounts paid pursuant to Section 6.10(d)(ii), exceeds $2.40 per share in any fiscal year (subject to
adjustments for any splits and reverse splits or other reductions in the number of outstanding shares of common stock); or 

  

	 	(ii)	purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any common Equity Interests of the Borrower or any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower held by Persons other than the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, including in connection with any merger, amalgamation or consolidation, in an amount which, when aggregated with all other such purchases, redemptions, defeasances, acquisitions or retirements and any amounts paid pursuant
to Section 6.10(d)(i), exceeds $2.40 per share in any fiscal year (subject to adjustments for any splits and reverse splits or other reductions in the number of outstanding shares of common stock). 

SECTION 6.11 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries . The Borrower’s board of directors may designate any
Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. Any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be a designation of each of such entity’s
Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary
designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the tine of such designation and may reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 6.10 or under one or more of the clauses of the
definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Borrower. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an
“Unrestricted Subsidiary.” Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Administrative Agent by delivery to the Administrative Agent a certified copy of the board resolution giving
effect to such designation and a certificate of a Financial Officer certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was not prohibited by Section 6.10.

Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Secured Party for purposes of
acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to secure any of the Obligations and to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Collateral Agent by the terms of any Loan Document, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and the Collateral Documents and (ii) negotiate, enforce or the settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such and, in each case, acknowledge and agree that any such action by the Administrative Agent

the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions except with respect to a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent and the terms of Section 8.03.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers and obligations in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. The term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or
the Collateral 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
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations in its capacity as such except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent: 

(a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 (b) 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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any discretionary action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 
 (c) 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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

  
 A-101 

 Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or
not taken by it (i) 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 the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall believe in
good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. 
 The Administrative
Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders or Issuing Banks for or have any duty to the Lenders or Issuing Banks 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 by any other party
hereto 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, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence, value or sufficiency of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. 

The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral 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. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to 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 Bank, the Administrative Agent may
presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such
Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by them, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any
assignment or participation of Loans and/or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. 
 Each of
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. 

  
 A-102 

 The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such
sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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 Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and
the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York,
New York and which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent and/or
Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above; provided that, if the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless
become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in
the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of any of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent and/or
Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
and/or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, their respective sub-agents, as applicable and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent. 
 Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and their respective securities) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to
make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

  
 A-103 

 Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) with respect to this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may, without any
further consent of any Lender, enter into (i) a Permitted First Lien Intercreditor Agreement in connection with any Indebtedness not prohibited hereby that is to be secured by Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.01 that are contemplated
or required to be pari passu with any Liens securing the Obligations and/or (ii) a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement in connection with any Indebtedness not prohibited hereby that is to be secured by Liens permitted pursuant to
Section 6.01 that are contemplated or required to be junior to any Liens securing the Obligations. Any Intercreditor Agreement entered into by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall
be binding on the Secured Parties. 
 To the extent required by any applicable law (as determined in good faith by the Administrative
Agent), the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.14, each Lender shall, and
does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to
properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a
change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). 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 paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph 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. 
 SECTION 8.02 Bookrunners, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers, syndication agents or documentation agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its
capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.03 Collateral and Guaranty Matters;
Enforcement. The Lenders irrevocably agree that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Commitments
and payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable and (y) outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to which credit support reasonably satisfactory to the
applicable Issuing Bank shall have been delivered), (ii) if such Lien is no longer required to be granted to secure the Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) subject to the last proviso to Section 9.02(b), if the
release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or (iv) upon the sale or disposition of any such property to a Person that is not a Loan Party, Pledged Subsidiary, Specified Subsidiary or a Pledgor pursuant to any transaction permitted hereunder. The Lenders irrevocably agree that each of the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document in connection with the exercise of remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document so long as any proceeds thereof are shared in accordance with Section 2.15(b), subject to the Intercreditor Agreements. 

  
 A-104 

 In addition, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably
agree that any Guarantor shall be released from its respective Guarantee (i) automatically upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary or (ii) if the release of
such Guarantor is approved, authorized or ratified by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders whose consent is required in accordance with Section 9.02). 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative
Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or, unless this Agreement requires that the Lien securing the Obligations be senior or pari passu, subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this
Section 8.03. In each case as specified in this Section 8.03, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to), at the
Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower or applicable Subsidiary such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest
granted under the Collateral Documents; provided, that prior to any such request, the Borrower shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower providing certifications with
respect to such release or subordination as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request. 
 By its acceptance of the
benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to realize upon any collateral or other security
given to secure the payment and performance of any of the Secured Obligations.

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or
furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any Issuing Bank

 A-106 

 SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising
any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise
have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of
whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or, as applicable, any Subsidiary shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained
exclusively by, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and/or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) any
Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08, or (iii) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 (b) Amendments. None of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any provision of the
other Loan Documents may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.21 or (y) pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, no such agreement shall do any of the following (it being understood
and agreed that this proviso shall not apply to (1) a waiver, extension, postponement or reduction of any default interest, (2) a waiver or extension of Defaults or Events of Default (other than pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b)),
(3) a waiver, extension, postponement or reduction of any mandatory prepayment (or modification of any defined term relating thereto) or (4) an amendment, waiver or other modification to any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term
used therein) or Section 5.02(a), (b) or (c) even if the effect of such amendment, waiver or other modification would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or to reduce any fee payable hereunder): 

 

	 	(i)	increase the Commitment of any Lender, 

  

	 	(ii)	reduce the principal amount of any Loan owed to any Lender or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder to any Lender, 

 

	 	(iii)	postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder to any Lender, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone
the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, 

  
 A-107 

	 	(iv)	change Section 2.15(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby (it being understood that transactions contemplated pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19, 2.20, 2.21
or 9.04(b)(v) shall not be deemed to alter such pro rata sharing of payments); 

 provided, further, that no such
agreement shall (A) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to
waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that such consent of each Lender shall not be required for amendments as provided
in Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.21), (B) change any of the provisions of Section 2.15(b) relating to the order of payments, without the written consent of each Lender, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral required to be
subject to a Lien securing the Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender (unless such release is in connection with the grant of a Lien on replacement Collateral to secure the Obligations, in
which case only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required) or (D) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.17) without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender except to the extent
required pursuant to Section 2.17(a). 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, without the consent of any
Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may (I) enter into any amendment, supplement or modification of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, (w) to effect the granting, perfection, protection,
expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties (including entering into and/or modifying any Intercreditor Agreement in connection with other
Indebtedness not prohibited hereunder that is or is contemplated to be subject to a Lien permitted by Section 6.01 (subject to any restrictions set forth herein as to the priority of any such Lien relative to any Lien securing, or required to
be granted to secure, the Obligations)), (x) as required by local law or to comply with advice from local counsel to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security
interests therein comply with applicable law or any Loan Document, (y) to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document or (z) in the case of any Collateral Document, to reaffirm or modify any Collateral
Document (i) to add a new class of secured creditors in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) to release any lien securing any other series of Indebtedness in accordance with the terms thereof or (iii) to release any Lien securing
the Obligations in accordance with Section 8.03 and (II) enter into any amendment, supplement or modification of any Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, to correct any typographical error or
other manifest error in any Loan Document or to effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature. 
 (c) Revolving
Facility Amendments. With respect to the Revolving Facility only, without the consent of each Revolving Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, no such agreement shall do any of the following (it being understood and agreed that this
proviso shall not apply to (1) a waiver, extension, postponement or reduction of any default interest, (2) a waiver or extension of Defaults or Events of Default (other than pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b)), (3) a waiver,
extension, postponement or reduction of any mandatory prepayment (or modification of any defined term relating thereto) or (4) an amendment, waiver or other modification to any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) or
Section 5.02(a), (b) or (c) even if the effect of such amendment, waiver or other modification would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or to reduce any fee payable hereunder): 

  
 A-108 

	 	(i)	reduce the principal amount of any LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Revolving Lender adversely affected thereby,

  

	 	(ii)	postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Revolving Lender affected thereby, or

 provided, further, that no such agreement shall change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(c) or the
percentage in the definition of the term “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Revolving Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination
or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Revolving Lender. 
 (d) Financial Covenant Loans and Commitments.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Financial Covenant Commitments and Financial Covenant Loans only, solely with the consent of the Required Financial Covenant Lenders (but without the consent of the Required Lenders or any other
Lender), any such agreement may waive, amend or modify Section 6.07 (or the definition of “First Lien Leverage Ratio” or any component definition thereof, in each case, as any such definition is used solely for purposes of
Section 6.07 for purposes of determining compliance with such Section as a condition to taking any action under this Agreement). 
 (e)
Additional Amendments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or modified to: 
  

	 	(i)	release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees under the Guaranty Agreement without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; or 

 

	 	(ii)	amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Banks hereunder without the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank. 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Sublimit of any Issuing Bank listed on Schedule 1 may be modified and technical

facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all

Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single primary external counsel for the Administrative Agent and
Lenders, and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and Lenders, in each case, selected by the Administrative Agent (plus one additional counsel in the event of an actual or perceived

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any
sub-agent thereof), the Joint Lead Arrangers and each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (but limited, in

Indemnitees, in each case, selected by the Administrative Agent (plus one additional counsel in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the
Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of
their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any
Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) 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 the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Controlled Related Parties or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for material breach of such Indemnitee’s
obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with

representatives of such Indemnitee or any of its Controlling Persons or Controlled Affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting on behalf of or at the instructions of such Indemnitee, Controlling Person or such Controlled Affiliate;
provided that each reference to a Controlling Person, Controlled Affiliate, director, officer or employee in this sentence pertains to a Controlling Person, Controlled Affiliate, director, officer or employee involved in the structuring,
arrangement, negotiation or syndication of the credit facility evidenced by this Agreement. 

  
 A-110 

 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or an Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any
of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that 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) or an Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for
the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are several obligations.

 A-111 

	 	(i)	Minimum Amounts. 

 (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the Commitments or Loans, as applicable, at the time owing to the assigning Lender or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the principal amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) of the assigning Lender or the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender, as applicable, subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than (xi) with respect to the Revolving Facility,
$10,000,000, (yii) with respect to Initial
Term Loans and any Other Term Loans that are term A loans, $5,000,000 and (ziii) with respect to Term B-1 Loans and any Other Term Loans that are term B loans, $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default
pursuant to Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

 

	 	(ii)	Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Commitments
or Loan, as applicable, assigned. 

  

	 	(iii)	Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an
Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; provided that the Borrower shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days; 

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required except
in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender; and 
 (C) the consent of the applicable Issuing
Bank shall be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding). 

 

	 	(iv)	Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;
provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms or documentation required to be delivered under Section 2.14(e). 

  
 A-112 

	 	(v)	Assignment to the Borrower. Any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans to the Borrower but only if: 

(A) no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom; 

(B) such assignment is made pursuant to open market purchase; 

(C) any such Term Loans shall be immediately and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition thereof by the Borrower;
and 
 (D) the Borrower may not use proceeds from loans under the Revolving Facility to purchase Term Loans. 

 

	 	(vi)	No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to a natural person, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries (or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this Section 9.04(b)(vi)), (C) except in accordance with Section 2.20 or Section 9.04(b)(v), to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or (D) to a Disqualified Lender (but
solely to the extent the Disqualified Lender list has been made available to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 9.04(g)). 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 and Section 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph (b) shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices
in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

  
 A-113 

 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Disqualified Lender (but solely to the extent the Disqualified Lender list has been posted to the Intralinks or another similar electronic system
pursuant to Section 9.04(g)) or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or
the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant or described in the second proviso to Section 9.02(b) that would require the
consent of all Lenders. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.14 and 9.08 (subject to the requirements and limitations of those Sections
and Section 2.16, and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(e) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely
for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amount of (and stated interest on) each
Participant’s interest in Commitments and/or the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have the obligation to disclose all or a
portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of the Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that any loans or other obligations are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 and
Section 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

  
 A-114 

 (g) Disqualified Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall post the list of Disqualified
Lenders provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time on Intralinks or another similar electronic system to “public siders” and/or “private siders” and/or provide such list to each Lender requesting the same.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions relating to Disqualified Lenders. 

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or
other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and
issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or
incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid (other than contingent obligations in respect of which no claim has been made) or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14 and Section 9.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 
 (a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements
and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as
delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 (b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 A-115 

 SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch or office
holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent
for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of
setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application.
