 ARTICLE II. 
 The Credits 
 SECTION 2.01 Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Revolving Facility Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the 

  

 21 

 
Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding such
Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment or (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower
may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Facility Loans. 
 (b) [Reserved] 
 SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans under the Revolving Facility and of
the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments under the Revolving Facility (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, in accordance with their respective Swingline Commitments); provided, however,
that Revolving Facility Loans shall be made by the Revolving Facility Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages on the date such Loans are made hereunder. The failure of any Lender to make or assume any Loan
required to be made or assumed by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make
Loans as required. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Borrowing) shall be comprised entirely of ABR
Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to
any amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise. 
 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing
Minimum. At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that an ABR Revolving
Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Revolving Facility Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Each Swingline
Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum (or the amount equal to the entire unused balance of the Revolving Facility Commitments). Borrowings of more than one Type
may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 8 Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if
the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 
 SECTION 2.03 Requests for
Borrowings. To request a Revolving Facility Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days
before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Revolving
Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each 

  

 22 

 
such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written
Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 
 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; 
 (iv) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated
by clause (a) of the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (v) the location and number of the
Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed. 
 If no election as to the Type of Revolving Facility Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Revolving Facility Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 SECTION 2.04 Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the
Swingline Commitment or (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline
Borrowing. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. 
 (b) To request a Swingline Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lenders of such request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request by telecopy), not later than
11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Borrowing. Each such notice and Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and (ii) the amount of the
requested Swingline Borrowing. The applicable Swingline Lender shall consult with the Administrative Agent as to whether the making of the Swingline Loan is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to such Swingline Lender funding such
Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan to be made by it hereunder in accordance with Section 2.02(a) on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., Local Time, to the
account of the Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank). 
 (c) A Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent (and to the other Swingline Lenders) not later than 10:00 a.m., Local
Time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Facility Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the 

  

 23 

 
outstanding Swingline Loans made by it. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Facility Lenders will
participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each such Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.
Each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, such Revolving Facility Lender’s
Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Facility Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made
by such Revolving Facility Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by
it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made
to the Administrative Agent and not to the applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of
the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Facility Lenders
that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment
thereof. 
 SECTION 2.05 Letters of Credit. (a) General. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of standby Letters of Credit for its own account in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and prior to the date
that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension: Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or
the amendment or extension (other than an automatic extension in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section)) of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (two Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension) a notice requesting the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which
shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If
requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on 

  

 24 

 
such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if
(and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the
Letter of Credit Sublimit and (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any automatic
extension thereof, one year after such extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date (the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”); provided that any Letter of Credit
with a one-year (or shorter) tenor may provide for the automatic extension thereof for additional one-year (or shorter) periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c)). 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Facility Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Facility Lender, and each Revolving Facility Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each L/C Disbursement
made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Facility Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or
extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall
reimburse such L/C Disbursement and in the applicable currency by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 2:00 P.M., Local Time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice under
paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., Local Time, or (ii) if clause (i) does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the date the Borrower
receives such notice, provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline
Borrowing, as applicable, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing. In the case of a
Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require
reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the
Issuing Bank in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing
promptly following the determination thereof. If the Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement 

  

 25 

 
when due, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Facility Lender of the applicable L/C
Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”) and, in the case of a Revolving Facility Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Facility Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its
Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from
the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing
Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR
Revolving Loan or a Swingline Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in
any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to
make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, or any of the
circumstances referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct
damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are determined by a final and binding decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have been caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (ii) such Issuing
Bank’s refusal to issue a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such
Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination and each refusal to issue a Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to
documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility
for further investigation, regardless of any 

  

 26 

 
notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms
of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof,
examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and
whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving
Facility Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to
but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph
(e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving
Facility Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Facility Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees
accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank
under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and
all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under
this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. 
 (i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if, as
of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Revolving L/C Exposure for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date. In addition, if the Administrative
Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the L/C Exposure at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Revolving L/C Exposure in an
amount equal to the amount by which the Revolving L/C Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash
Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations. 
  

 27 

 (ii) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an
Event of Default described in Section 7.01(h) or (i), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third Business Day, in each case, following the date on which the Borrower receives notice from the
Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant
to this paragraph, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date; provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
Section 7.01, the obligation to Cash Collateralize shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind. 
 (iii) For purposes of this Section and Section 7.01(h) or (i), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, as collateral for the total Revolving L/C Exposure, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders) plus any accrued and unpaid interest (derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings). Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph
(j) shall be held by the Administrative Agent, in blocked deposit accounts at the Issuing Bank, as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Borrower hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. 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 (i) for so long as an Event of
Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if
any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the
extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving
Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

 (k) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate another Lender
(in addition to Bank of America, N.A.) that agrees (in its sole discretion) to act in such capacity and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as an Issuing Bank. Such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this
Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes. 
  

 28 

 (l) Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall
(i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b) no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative Agent
(A) one day prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued,
amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), and the Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit if the
Administrative Agent shall not have advised the Issuing Bank that such issuance, amendment extension would not be in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, (B) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C
Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement and (C) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, including but not limited to prompt
verification of such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose
by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to
an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City; provided that ABR Revolving Loans and Swingline Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in
Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made
its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute a reduction of such Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the
case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated
ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or
continued. 
  

 29 

 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if 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 telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed
by the Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written 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 Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

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

  

 30 

 
the Revolving Facility shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount
of the Revolving Facility Commitments) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with
Section 2.11, the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments. 
 (c) The Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying
such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the
Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under the
Revolving Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments under the Revolving Facility. 
 SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount
of each Revolving Facility Loan to the Borrower on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and the
first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Facility Borrowing is made by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

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

  

 31 

 
order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.10 Repayment of Revolving Facility Loans. (a) To the extent not previously paid, outstanding Revolving Facility Loans shall be due and
payable on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 
 (b) Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, in the event that on the last day
of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower the Receivables Coverage Ratio shall be less than 1.75 to 1.00, the Borrower shall, no later than the seventh Business Day following the date of delivery of the certificate contemplated by
Section 5.04(c)(ii) with respect to such fiscal quarter, repay the Revolving Facility Loans (including any Swingline Loans) and/or reduce the Revolving L/C Exposure in an aggregate amount equal to the reduction in the Revolving Facility Credit
Exposure that is required for the Receivables Coverage Ratio to be 1.75 to 1.00 or greater (after giving effect to such reduction in the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure) by taking the following actions: first, prepayment of any Swingline
Loans, second, prepayment of any other Revolving Facility Loans and, third, depositing cash in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, to be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. 
 (c) Prior to
any repayment of any Borrowing under the Revolving Facility hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings under the Revolving Facility to be prepaid or repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of such selection not later than 2:00 P.M., Local Time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, three Business Days
before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied to the Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based
upon the respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, prior to any repayment of a Swingline Borrowing
hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the scheduled date of such
repayment. Repayments of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid. 
 SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of
Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral
multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(b). 
 Any reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitment shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans and/or Swingline Loans to the
extent, if any, that the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the amount of the total Revolving Facility Commitments as so reduced, provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Facility Loans and Swingline Loans then
outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because Revolving L/C Exposure constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash
in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
  

 32 

 SECTION 2.12 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (other than any Defaulting
Lender), through the Administrative Agent, three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be
terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) on the daily amount of the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with
the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For the purpose
of calculating any Lender’s Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Lender’s Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue
on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein. 
 (b) The Borrower from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, three Business Days after the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on such
Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing
Date or ending with the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Borrowings effective for each day in such
period and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x) three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for
the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum of the daily maximum amount of such Letter of Credit or as
otherwise agreed with the Issuing Bank), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing charges
(collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the fees set forth in the
Administrative Agent Fee Letter dated as of the Second Restatement Effective Date, at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”) and (ii) any applicable Lender, for the account of such Lender, the fees in the
amounts and at the times from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrower and any such Lender. 
 (d) All Fees shall be paid on the
dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks and any fees under clause (c)(ii)
above shall be paid directly to the applicable Lender. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION
2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
  

 33 

 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other
amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall at the option of the Administrative Agent bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and (ii) upon termination of the
Revolving Facility Commitments; 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 (other than a prepayment of an ABR
Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency
Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year),
and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable ABR, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 (c) then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers
and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in
such currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of, or credit 

  

 34 

 
extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency
Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or
Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing
Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender
or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A
certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be
delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior
to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to
borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a
result of 

  

 35 

 
a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event incurred by such Lender. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would
have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period
therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for
such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting
forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.17 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such
payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing
Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any
payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a
Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is
legally entitled to do so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower to permit such payments to be made 

  

 36 

 
without such withholding tax or at a reduced rate; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation under this paragraph (e) with respect to any
withholding Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender such compliance would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to
such Lender in any material respect. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including
any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent or Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to
require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other person. 
 SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each
payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16, or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when
due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been
received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments
to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day,
the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Any
payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance
with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder,
such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and
(ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due from the 

  

 37 

 
Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due to
such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any
principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Facility Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Facility Loans and
participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C
Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it
may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would 

  

 38 

 
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall
not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from
a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to
prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) If any Lender (such Lender, a
“Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which
the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such
Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) all Credit Agreement Obligations of the Borrower owing to such
Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04.

 SECTION 2.20 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental
Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent,
any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise
to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the
last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or
conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

 SECTION 3.05 Financial Statements. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders:

unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations and cash flows of the Borrower, together with its consolidated Subsidiaries, as at December 31, 2004 (including the notes thereto) (the
“Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender (via inclusion in the Information Memorandum), have been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to the
Transactions. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to have been reasonable as of the date of delivery thereof (it being understood that such assumptions are based on good faith
estimates of certain items and that the actual amount of such items on the Closing Date is subject to change), and presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as at the Closing Date, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date. 
 (ii) The audited combined consolidated balance sheets of the Acquired Business as at each of December 31, 2002, December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, and the audited combined consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, reported on by and accompanied by a report from Deloitte & Touche, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the consolidated
financial position of the Acquired Business as at such date and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Acquired Business for such period then ended. 
  

 41 

 (b) None of the Borrower or the Acquired Business has any material guarantees, contingent liabilities and

most recent financial statements referred to in the preceding clauses (a)(i) and (ii). During the period from December 31, 2004 to and including the Second Restatement Effective Date there has been no disposition by any of the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries or the Acquired Business of any material part of its business or property.

Lenders thereunder. 
 SECTION 3.07 Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a) Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has good and valid record fee simple title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all its properties and assets (including all Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects in title
that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such title could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Permitted Liens or Liens arising by operation of law. 
 (b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all leases to which it is a party, except where the failure to
comply would not reasonably be considered to have Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases are in full force and effect, except leases in respect of which the failure to be in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases, other than leases in respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession could not

 (c) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
owns or possesses, or could obtain ownership or possession of or rights under, on terms not materially adverse to it, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto necessary for the present
conduct of its business, without any conflict (of which the Borrower has been notified in writing) with the rights of others, and free from any burdensome restrictions on the present conduct of the Acquired Business, except where such conflicts and
restrictions could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (d) As of the Second
Restatement Effective Date, none of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has received any notice of any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any of the Mortgaged Properties or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation
that remains unresolved as of the Second Restatement Effective Date.

Second Restatement Effective Date under any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or any interest therein, except as permitted as a Permitted Lien or by

 42

name and jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or organization of each Subsidiary of the Borrower and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Equity Interests owned by the Borrower or by any such Subsidiary. 
 (b) As of the Closing Date, there were no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than
stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, except rights of employees to purchase Equity Interests of the Borrower
in connection with the Transactions or as set forth on Schedule 3.08(b). 
 (c) As of the Second Restatement Effective Date, no
Subsidiary of the Borrower guarantees the obligations of the Issuers under the Senior Notes other than the Subsidiary Loan Parties. 
 SECTION 3.09 Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) As of the Second Restatement Effective Date except as set forth on Schedule 3.09, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or, to the knowledge of
the Borrower, investigations by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority or in arbitration now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any business,
property or rights of any such person (i) that involve any Loan Document or the Transactions or (ii) as to which an adverse determination is reasonably probable and which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or materially adversely affect the Transactions. On the date of any Borrowing after the Second Restatement Effective Date, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or,
to the knowledge of the Borrower, investigations by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority or in arbitration now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
any business, property or rights of any such person as to which an adverse determination is reasonably probable and which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.09, none of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective properties or assets is in
violation of (nor will the continued operation of their material properties and assets as currently conducted violate) any law, rule or regulation (including any zoning, building, Environmental Law, ordinance, code or approval or any building
permit) or any restriction of record or agreement affecting any Mortgaged Property, or is in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default could reasonably be expected
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.10 Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) None of
the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. 
 (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (i) to
purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose, or (ii) for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is
inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation U or Regulation X. 
 SECTION 3.11 Investment
Company Act: Public Utility Holding Company Act. None of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is (a) an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to 

  

 43 

 
regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b) a “holding company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under,
the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. 
 SECTION 3.12 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the term loans under the
Original Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Term Loans borrowed on the Closing Date were used to consummate the Acquisition and the other Transactions. The proceeds of the additional term loans under the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
borrowed on the First Restatement Effective Date were used to prepay a portion of the Second Lien Term Loans. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Revolving Facility Loans and may request the issuance of Letters of Credit to finance the working
capital needs and general corporate purposes (including future satellite related capital expenditures) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 3.13 Tax Returns. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13: 
 (a) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries

material respects and (ii) has timely paid or caused to be timely paid all Taxes shown thereon to be due and payable by it and all other material Taxes or assessments, except Taxes or assessments that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings in accordance with Section 5.03 and for which the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (as the case may be) has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP; 
 (b) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has paid in full or made adequate provision (in accordance with GAAP) for the payment of all Taxes due with
respect to all periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Second Restatement Effective Date, which Taxes, if not paid or adequately provided for, could individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; and

 SECTION 3.17 Security Documents. (a) The Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor
of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof to the extent intended to be created thereby. In the case of the Pledged
Collateral described in the Collateral Agreement, when certificates or promissory notes, as applicable, representing such Pledged Collateral are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the
Collateral Agreement (other than the Intellectual Property (as defined in the Collateral Agreement)), when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 6 of the Perfection Certificate in appropriate form are filed in the
offices specified on Schedule 7 of the Perfection Certificate, the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, (to the extent required thereby) all right, title
and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and, subject to Section 9-315 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, the proceeds thereof, as security for the Credit Agreement Obligations to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Collateral, Permitted Liens and Liens having priority by operation of law). 

(b) When the Collateral Agreement or a summary thereof is properly filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States
Copyright Office, and, with respect to Collateral in which a security interest cannot be perfected by such filings, upon the proper filing of the financing statements referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Administrative Agent (for the benefit
of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties thereunder in the domestic Intellectual Property (to the extent contemplated to be created thereby), in each
case prior and superior in right to any other person (it being understood that subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a lien on registered trademarks
and patents, trademark and patent applications and registered copyrights acquired by the grantors after the Closing Date) except Permitted Liens and Liens having priority by operation of law. 
 (c) Each Foreign Pledge Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and
enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Collateral described in a Foreign Pledge Agreement, when certificates representing such Pledged Collateral are delivered to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as
security for the Credit Agreement Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person. 
 (d) The Mortgages executed
and delivered on the Closing Date are, and the Mortgages executed and delivered after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.10 shall be, effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a legal,
valid and enforceable Lien on all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when such Mortgages are filed or recorded in the proper real estate filing or recording
offices, the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Mortgaged Property and, to the extent applicable,
subject to Section 9-315 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to the rights of a Person pursuant to Permitted Liens and Liens having priority
by operation of law. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything herein (including, without limitation, this Section 3.17) or in any other Loan
Document to the contrary, other than to the extent set forth in the Foreign 

  

 46 

 
Pledge Agreements, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party makes any representation or warranty as to the effects of perfection or non-perfection, the
priority or the enforceability of any pledge of or security interest in any Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary, or as to the rights and remedies of the Agents or any Lender with respect thereto, under foreign law. 
 SECTION 3.18 Location of Real Property. Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate lists completely and correctly as of the Closing Date all
material real property owned by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties and the addresses thereof. 
 SECTION 3.19 Solvency.
(a) Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions on the Closing Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower (individually) and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, exceeded the debts and
liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower (individually) and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, respectively; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower (individually) and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis was greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower (individually) and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, respectively, on their debts and other liabilities,
direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Borrower (individually) and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities,
direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Borrower (individually) and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to
conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date. 
 (b) The Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it or
any such subsidiary and the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such subsidiary. 
 SECTION 3.20 Labor Matters. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes pending or
threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (b) the hours worked and payments made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable law dealing
with such matters; (c) all payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other
benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP; and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable laws, agreements, policies, plans
and programs relating to employment and employment practices. Consummation of the Transactions did not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound. 
 SECTION 3.21 Insurance. Schedule 3.21 sets forth a true, complete and correct description of all material insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.
As of such date, such insurance is in full force and effect. The Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is adequate. 
 SECTION 3.22 Representations and Warranties in Transaction Agreement. All representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the
Transaction Agreement were true and 

  

 47 

 
correct in all material respects as of the time such representations and warranties were made and shall be true and correct in all material respects as of
the Closing Date as if such representations and warranties were made on and as of such date, unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as
of such earlier date. 
 SECTION 3.23 Communications Licenses, etc. (a) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have all of the
Communications Licenses necessary for the lawful conduct of the Acquired Business in substantially the same manner as the Acquired Business is currently conducted, except where the failure to have the same would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3.23 sets forth a list of all material Communications Licenses necessary for the operation of the Acquired Business in the manner in which it is operated as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, the
Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries is the holder of the Communications Licenses identified in Schedule 3.23. 
 (b) Except as would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) as of the Closing Date, each Communications License identified on Schedule 3.23 is validly issued and in full force and effect; (ii) none of the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries is a party to or has any knowledge of any proceeding before any Governmental Authority to revoke, suspend, cancel, refuse to renew or modify, or impose a forfeiture or other sanction with respect to, any of the Communications Licenses
identified on Schedule 3.23; (iii) the Borrower has no reason to believe that any of the Communications Licenses identified on Schedule 3.23 will not be renewed in the ordinary course of business; (iv) the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are operating the facilities authorized under the Communications Licenses set forth in Schedule 3.23 in accordance with their terms and such operation is in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations; and (v) no
event has occurred which, after notice or lapse of time or both, reasonably would be expected to result in revocation, suspension, adverse modification, non-renewal or termination of, or any order of forfeiture with respect to, any Communications
License set forth on Schedule 3.23.

otherwise expressly permitted under Section 2.08 of Annex A, and except for the liquidation or dissolution of Restricted Subsidiaries if the assets of such Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent they exceed estimated liabilities are acquired by
the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower in such liquidation or dissolution; provided that Restricted Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties may not be liquidated into Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties and Domestic
Subsidiaries may not be liquidated into Foreign Subsidiaries. 
 (b) Do or cause to be done all things necessary to (i) obtain,
preserve, renew, extend and keep in full force and effect the permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto necessary to the normal conduct of its business,

any building permits or any restrictions of record or agreements affecting the Mortgaged Properties) and judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees and orders of any Governmental Authority, whether now in effect or hereafter enacted and (iii) at
all times maintain and preserve all material property necessary to the normal conduct of its business and keep such property in good repair, working order and condition and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all needful and proper repairs,
renewals, additions, improvements and replacements thereto necessary in order that the business carried on in connection therewith, if any, may be properly conducted at all times (in each case except as expressly permitted by this Agreement).

 SECTION 5.02 Insurance. (a) With respect to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, keep its insurable properties (other than
Satellites, the insurance required with regard to which is contained in paragraph (b) below) insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers in such amounts as shall be customary for similar businesses and maintain such other
reasonable insurance (including, to the extent consistent with past practices, self-insurance), of such types, to such extent and against such risks, as is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses and maintain such other insurance
as may be required by law or any other Loan Document. 
  

 52 

 (b) The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, obtain, maintain and keep in full
force and effect at all times (i) with respect to each Satellite procured by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary for which the risk of loss passes to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary at or before launch, launch insurance with
respect to each such Satellite covering the launch of such Satellite and a period of time thereafter and (ii) at all times subsequent to the initial completion of in-orbit testing, in each case with respect to each Satellite it then owns or for
which it has risk of loss (or portion, as applicable), In-Orbit Insurance; provided that the insurance coverage specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above will only be required to the extent, if at all, and on such terms (including
coverage period, exclusions, limitations on coverage, co-insurance, deductibles and coverage amount) as is determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower to be in the best interests of the Borrower as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of
Directors.

 (i) contain no exclusions other than: 
 (A) Acceptable Exclusions; and

risks of loss of and damage to the Satellite; and 
 (iii) name the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary as the
named insured. 
 (d) Cause all property and casualty insurance policies with respect to the Mortgaged Properties to be endorsed or otherwise
amended to include a “standard” or “New York” lender’s loss payable endorsement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which endorsement shall provide that, from and after the Closing
Date, if the insurance carrier shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the insurance carrier shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Borrower or the Loan Parties under such
policies directly to the Administrative Agent; cause all such policies to provide that neither the Borrower, the Administrative Agent nor any other party shall be a coinsurer thereunder and to contain a “Replacement Cost Endorsement,”
without any deduction for depreciation, and such other provisions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably (in light of a Default or a material development in respect of the insured Mortgaged Property) require from time to time to protect their
interests; deliver original or certified copies of all such policies or a certificate of an insurance broker to the Administrative Agent; cause each such policy to provide that it shall not be canceled, modified or not renewed upon less than 30
days’ prior written notice (or 10 days’ prior written notice in the case of any failure to pay any premium due thereunder) thereof by the insurer to the Administrative Agent; deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to the cancellation,
modification or nonrenewal of any such policy of insurance, a copy of a renewal or replacement policy (or other evidence of renewal of a policy previously delivered to the Administrative Agent), or insurance certificate with respect thereto,

the Premises (as defined in the Mortgages) are located is designated a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal 

  

 53 

 
Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), obtain flood insurance in such reasonable total amount as the Administrative Agent may from time to
time reasonably require, and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as it may be amended from time to time. 
 (f) With respect to each Mortgaged Property, carry and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance including the “broad form CGL
endorsement” and coverage on an occurrence basis against claims made for personal injury (including bodily injury, death and property damage) and umbrella liability insurance against any and all claims, in each case in amounts and against such
risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar industry operating in the same or similar locations naming the Administrative Agent as an additional insured, on forms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative

with a value in excess of 5.0% of the Total Assets or 5.0% of total revenues of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as of such date; provided that if it is necessary to exclude more than one Subsidiary from clause (h), (i) or (j) of
Section 7.01 pursuant to this Section 7.02 in order to avoid an Event of Default thereunder, all excluded Subsidiaries shall be considered to be a single consolidated Subsidiary for purposes of determining whether the condition specified

that the Borrower shall designate 

  

 62 

 
from time to time, in order not to exceed the 10% threshold, Subsidiaries not meeting the 5% threshold as Material Subsidiaries).

 SECTION 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the
extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner
to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any
of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. 
 SECTION 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all
purposes 

  

 63 

 
unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it
deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 
 SECTION
8.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring
to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to
the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless
and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall
deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
 SECTION 8.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations,
property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
 SECTION 8.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitments hereunder (or if such Commitments shall have expired or been
terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of its applicable outstanding Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements, as applicable)), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, 

  

 64 

 
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in
this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.08 Agent in Its Individual
Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with
respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms
“Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 
 SECTION 8.09 Successor Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing) be
subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative
Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on
the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative
Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time,
if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 8.10
Syndication Agent. The Syndication Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

 SECTION 9.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the

 66 

 SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 
 (C) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined
below) or, if an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other person; 
 (D) the Administrative Agent; and 
 (E) the Issuing Bank. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required
if an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; and 
 (B) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 For the purposes of this Section 9.04, “Approved Fund” means any person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing,
holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity
that administers or manages a Lender. 
  

 67 

 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v)
below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and
Revolving L/C Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the
Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v)
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the
information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that
(x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to
Section 9.04(a)(i) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement with respect to such Participant may exist
between such Lender 

  

 68 

 
and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to
such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 2.17 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may
at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section
shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee
for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any
Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 9.04(b). The
Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender
designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto and each Loan Party for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit
Lender during such period of forbearance. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America,
N.A. (“Bank of America”) assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, upon 90 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank. In the event of any such
resignation as Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the
resignation of Bank of America as Issuing Bank. If Bank of America resigns as Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the
effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and the total Revolving L/C Exposure with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to fund participations in the Unreimbursed Amount pursuant to Section 2.05(d)). Upon the
appointment of a successor Issuing Bank (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank and (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of
credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to 

  

 69 

 
effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit (including issuing a letter of credit to Bank of America
back-stopping its exposure on terms reasonably acceptable to Bank of America). 
 SECTION 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower
agrees to pay all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the
Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the syndication of the Commitments or the administration of this Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and initial and ongoing Collateral
examination to the extent incurred with the reasonable prior approval of the Borrower and the reasonable fees, disbursements and the charges for no more than one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or in connection with the
administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Administrative
Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers). 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing
Bank, each Lender and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the
other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result primarily from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee (treating, for this purpose only, the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, any Issuing Bank, any Lender and any of their respective Related Parties as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel or consultant
fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) any claim related in any way to Environmental Laws and the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or
(B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any Property or any property owned, leased or operated by any predecessor of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a 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 Related Parties. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Credit Agreement Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on 

  

 70 

 
written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. 
 (c) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to
Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes. 
 SECTION 9.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document
and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may
have. 
 SECTION 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 9.08
Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the
case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by
each party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall 
 (i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby, 
 (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Commitment Fees or L/C Participation
Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior 

  

 71 

 
written consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a
mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender), 
 (iii)
extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, 
 (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro
rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, 
 (v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights
hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit
pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Second Restatement Effective Date), 
 (vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral or release any of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party from its guarantee under
the Collateral Agreement, unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Loan Party, all or substantially all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Loan Party is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement or such Subsidiary
Loan Party is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender; 
 provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or
such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this
Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender. 
 (c) Without the consent of the Syndication Agent or the Joint Lead Arrangers or

herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or

shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. 
 SECTION

in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (ii) The Administrative Agent agrees that
receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice

or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily
from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 SECTION 9.18 Release of Liens and Guarantees. In the event
that any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of the Equity Interests or assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party to a person that is not (and is not required to become)

 75

Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations under its guarantee. In addition, the Administrative Agent agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to terminate the Liens and security
interests created by the Loan Documents when all the Credit Agreement Obligations are paid in full and all Letters of Credit and Commitments are terminated. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such

that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
 SECTION 9.20 Regulatory Matters. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in the Security Documents, the Agents and the Lenders hereby agree that they will not take action pursuant to the Security Documents with respect to any item of Collateral associated with or related to any
Communications License (i) to the extent such action is not permitted by the FCC or other Governmental Authority or any other applicable laws, rules or regulations; or (ii) that would constitute or result in an assignment or a change of
control of a Communications License (including, without limitation, an assignment or transfer of control (as those terms are defined by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or by the laws of any other Governmental Authority or in the rules or
regulations of the FCC)) now held by or to be issued to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or that otherwise would require prior notice to or approval from the FCC or other Governmental Authority, without first providing such notice or
obtaining such prior approval. The Borrower agrees to take any action which the Administrative Agent may reasonably request consistent with and subject to and in accordance with applicable law in order to obtain from the FCC or any other relevant
Governmental Authority such approval as may be necessary to enable the Lenders to exercise the full rights and benefits granted to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, including the use of the Borrower’s commercially reasonable efforts to
assist in obtaining the approval of the FCC or any other relevant Governmental Authority for any action or transaction contemplated by the Security Documents for which such approval is required by law and specifically, without limitation, upon
request at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to prepare, sign and file with the FCC or any other relevant Governmental Authority the assignor’s or transferor’s and licensee’s portions of
any application or applications for consent to the assignment or transfer of control of any Communications License that may be necessary or appropriate under the rules of the FCC or such other Governmental Authority for approval of any sale or
transfer of control of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise of the Lenders’ rights and remedies under the Security Documents; provided that Borrower’s failure to obtain any such approval shall not constitute a Default or Event of
Default. The Borrower further consents, subject to obtaining any necessary approvals, to the assignment or transfer of control of any Communications License to operate to a receiver, trustee, or similar official or to any purchaser of the Collateral
pursuant to any public or private sale, judicial sale, foreclosure, or exercise of other remedies available to the Lenders as permitted by applicable law.

consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver or other modification, whether or not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and
effect unless otherwise specifically amended hereby or by any other Loan Document.

 For purposes of calculating the

(11) of the second paragraph of Section 2.02 of this Annex.

determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. 
 For purposes hereof, the “maximum fixed repurchase price” of any
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock that does not have a fixed price shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock as if such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock were purchased on any date on
which Consolidated Total Indebtedness shall be required to be determined pursuant to the Agreement, and if such price is based upon, or measured by, the Fair Market Value of such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, such Fair Market Value shall be

 “Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the ratio of (i) Consolidated
Total Indebtedness as of the date of calculation (the “Calculation Date”) to (ii) Adjusted EBITDA of such Person for the four consecutive fiscal quarters immediately preceding such 

  

 10 

 
Calculation Date for which internal financial statements are available. In the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurs or
redeems any Indebtedness (other than in the case of revolving credit borrowings, in which case interest expense shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period) or issues or redeems
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is being calculated but prior to the Calculation Date, then the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio shall be calculated giving
pro forma effect to such Incurrence or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. 
 For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers or consolidations (as determined in accordance
with GAAP) that have been made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro
forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers or consolidations (and the change in any associated Consolidated Total Indebtedness obligations and the change in Adjusted EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred
on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of
such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect
thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an
Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation (including the Transactions) and the amount of income or earnings relating thereto, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting
Officer of the Borrower and shall comply with the requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission, except that such pro forma calculations may include operating expense reductions for such period resulting from the
transaction which is being given pro forma effect that have been realized or for which substantially all the steps necessary for realization have been taken or are reasonably expected to be taken within six months following any such transaction,
including, but not limited to, the execution or termination of any contracts, the reduction of costs related to administrative functions or the termination of any personnel, as applicable; provided that, in either case, such adjustments are set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate signed by the Borrower’s chief financial officer and another Officer which states (i) the amount of such adjustment or adjustments, (ii) that such adjustment or adjustments are based on the
reasonable good faith beliefs of the Officers executing such Officers’ Certificate at the time of such execution and (iii) that any related incurrence of Indebtedness is permitted pursuant to the Agreement. If any Indebtedness bears a
floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging
Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if the related hedge has a remaining term in excess of twelve months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible
financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a
revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based
upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

consideration received by the Borrower or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with an Asset Sale that is so designated as Designated Non-cash Consideration pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the basis of such

 provided, however, that only the portion of Capital Stock which so matures or is mandatorily redeemable, is so convertible or exchangeable or is so redeemable at the option of the holder thereof prior to
such date shall be deemed to be Disqualified Stock; provided, further, however, that (x) if such Capital Stock is issued to any employee or to any plan for the benefit of employees of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or by any such plan to such
employees, such Capital Stock shall not constitute Disqualified Stock solely because it may be required to be repurchased by the Borrower in order to satisfy applicable statutory or regulatory obligations or as a result of such employee’s
termination, death or disability and (y) such Capital Stock shall not constitute Disqualified Stock if such Capital Stock matures or is mandatorily redeemable or is redeemable at the option of the holders thereof as a result of a change of
control or asset sale so long as the relevant asset sale or change of control provisions, taken as a whole, are no more favorable in any material respect to holders of such Capital Stock than the asset sale and change of control provisions
applicable to the Senior Notes and any purchase requirement triggered thereby may not become operative until compliance with the asset sale and change of control provisions applicable to the Senior Notes (including the purchase of any Senior Notes
tendered pursuant thereto); provided, further, that any class of Capital Stock of such Person that by its terms authorizes such Person to satisfy its obligations thereunder by delivery of Capital Stock that is not Disqualified Stock shall not be
deemed to be Disqualified Stock.

under any Loan Document have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing: 
 (1) the Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness
(including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock; and 
  

 25 

 (2) the Borrower will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares
of Preferred Stock; 
 provided, however, that the Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness (including
Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock and any Restricted Subsidiary may issue shares of Preferred Stock, in each case if the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio of the Borrower for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters
for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would be less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 determined on
a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of
proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; provided that the amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred and Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock that may be issued pursuant to the foregoing by non-Subsidiary Loan
Parties shall not exceed $40.0 million at any one time outstanding (the “Non-Guarantor Exception”). 
 The foregoing

 (a) Indebtedness created hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents and the Incurrence by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under any other Credit Agreement and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and

such Incurrence; 
 (b) the Incurrence by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties of Indebtedness represented by the Senior Notes and
guarantees thereof, as applicable (and any exchange notes and guarantees thereof);

any Person owning such assets (but no other material assets)) and (2) any Acquired Indebtedness, provided however, that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), Disqualified Stock and Preferred
Stock incurred pursuant to this clause (d), when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock then outstanding that was Incurred pursuant to this clause (d),
does not exceed the greater of (x) $25.0 million and (y) 3.5% of Total Assets of the Borrower at the time of Incurrence; 
 (e)

Agreement, other than guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; 
 (g) Indebtedness of the Borrower to a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Credit
Agreement Obligations; provided, further, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent
transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an Incurrence of such Indebtedness; 
 (h) shares of Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event that results
in any Restricted Subsidiary that holds such shares of Preferred Stock of another Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such shares of Preferred Stock (except to the Borrower or another
Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an issuance of shares of Preferred Stock; 
 (i) Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that if a Subsidiary Loan Party incurs such Indebtedness, and such Indebtedness is owed to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Loan Party, such Indebtedness is

hedging interest rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of the Agreement to be outstanding or (2) for the purpose of fixing or hedging currency exchange rate risk with respect to any currency exchanges;

outstanding; 
  

 27 

 (m) any guarantee by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations of the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries so long as the Incurrence of such Indebtedness or other Obligations by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of the Agreement; provided that if such Indebtedness is by
its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Credit Agreement Obligations or the guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, any such guarantee of such guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in
right of payment to the Credit Agreement Obligations or such Subsidiary Loan Party’s guarantee, as applicable, substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Credit Agreement Obligations or the guarantee of such
Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable; 
 (n) the Incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness or
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower which serves to refund, refinance or defease any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock Incurred as permitted under the first paragraph of this covenant
and clauses (b), (c), (d), (n), (o), (r) and (s) of this paragraph or any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock Incurred to so refund or refinance such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, including any
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock Incurred to pay premiums and fees in connection therewith (subject to the following proviso, “Refinancing Indebtedness”) prior to its respective maturity; provided,
however, that such Refinancing Indebtedness: 
 (1) has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time such
Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred which is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refunded or refinanced; 
 (2) has a Stated Maturity which is no earlier than the earlier of (x) the Stated Maturity of the Indebtedness being refunded or
refinanced or (y) at least 91 days later than the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; 
 (3) to the extent such Refinancing
Indebtedness refinances (a) Indebtedness junior to the Credit Agreement Obligations or the guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, such Refinancing Indebtedness is junior to the Credit Agreement Obligations or the guarantee of
such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, or (b) Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness is Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock; 
 (4) is Incurred in an aggregate principal amount (or if issued with original issue discount, an aggregate issue price) that is equal to or
less than the aggregate principal amount (or if issued with original issue discount, the aggregate accreted value) then outstanding of the Indebtedness being refinanced plus premium and fees Incurred in connection with such refinancing;

Stock or Preferred Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; and 
 (6) in the case of any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to
refinance Indebtedness outstanding under clause (d) or (s), shall be deemed to have been Incurred and to be outstanding under such clause (d) or (s), as applicable, and not this clause (n) for purposes of determining amounts
outstanding under such clauses (d) and (s); 

  

 28 

 
and provided, further, that subclauses (1) and (2) of this clause (n) will not apply to any refunding, refinancing or defeasance
of any Secured Indebtedness the Liens in respect of which are expressly subordinated to the Liens in respect of the Credit Agreement Obligations; 
 (o) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Persons that are acquired by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or merged or amalgamated into the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of
the Agreement; provided, however, that such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is not Incurred in contemplation of such acquisition, merger or amalgamation; provided, further, however, that after giving effect to such acquisition,
merger or amalgamation: 
 (1) the Borrower would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to
Adjusted EBITDA Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of this covenant; or 
 (2) the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio of the Borrower
would be less than or equal to such ratio immediately prior to such acquisition; 
 (p) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or
other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of its Incurrence; 
 (q) [reserved]; 
 (r) Contribution
Indebtedness; 
 (s) Indebtedness of non-Subsidiary Loan Parties Incurred for working capital purposes and any refinancings of such
Indebtedness; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (s), when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and Incurred pursuant to this clause (s), does
not exceed $25.0 million; 
 (t) Indebtedness of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the Equipment Financing Agreements;

 (u) Indebtedness Incurred by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under Capitalized Lease Obligations with respect to no
more than three Satellites at any time; and 
 (v) Subordinated Indebtedness Incurred by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Loan Parties
to finance the purchase, design, lease, construction, launch, launch insurance, in-orbit insurance or improvement of one of more Satellites (other than SPACEWAY 3) following the Second Restatement Effective Date; provided, however, that the
aggregate amount of Subordinated Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (v), when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Subordinated Indebtedness then outstanding and Incurred pursuant to this clause (v), does not exceed $200.0 million.

 For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock meets the
criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (a) through (v) above or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the
Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in any manner that complies with this covenant and such item of 

  

 29 

 
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be treated as having been Incurred pursuant to one or more of such clauses or pursuant to the first
paragraph hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness under the Agreement outstanding on the Second Restatement Effective Date (if any) will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause
(a) above and the Borrower shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness outstanding on the Second Restatement Effective Date. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, amortization or original issue
discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, the accretion of liquidation preference
and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant. Guarantees of, or obligations in
respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of
the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this covenant. 
 For purposes
of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if
such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate
in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness
being refinanced. 
 Section 2.02 Limitation on Restricted Payments. 
 The Borrower covenants and agrees with each Lender that, so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect (except contingent indemnification obligations)
and until the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under any Loan Document have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have
expired and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

 (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of the Borrower’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’
Equity Interests, including any payment with respect to such Equity Interests made in connection with any merger, amalgamation or consolidation involving the Borrower (other than (A) dividends or distributions by the Borrower payable solely in
Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower or (B) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities
issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or
series of securities); 
  

 30 

 (2) purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any Parent
of the Borrower, including in connection with any merger or consolidation; 
 (3) make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase,
defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case prior to any scheduled repayment or scheduled maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the payment, redemption, repurchase,
defeasance, acquisition or retirement of (A) Subordinated Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such payment, redemption,
repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement and (B) Indebtedness permitted under clauses (g) and (i) of the second paragraph of the covenant in Section 2.01 of this Annex); or 
 (4) make any Restricted Investment 
 (all such payments and
other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment: 
 (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; 
 (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Borrower would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of
additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio test in the first paragraph of the covenant in Section 2.01 of this Annex; and 
 (c) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Second Restatement Effective Date (including Restricted
Payments permitted by clauses (1), (4), (6) and (7) of the next succeeding paragraph, but excluding all other Restricted Payments permitted by the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the amount equal to the difference between
(i) the Cumulative Credit and (ii) 1.4 times Cumulative Interest Expense. 
 The foregoing provisions will not prohibit:

 (1) the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of declaration such
payment would have complied with the provisions of the Agreement; 
 (2) (a) the repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity
Interests (“Retired Capital Stock”) of the Borrower or any Parent of the Borrower or Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower, any Parent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the
substantially concurrent sale (other than the Cash Contribution Amount or the sale of any Disqualified Stock or Designated Preferred Stock or any Equity Interests sold to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or to an employee stock ownership plan
or any trust established by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) of Equity Interests of the Borrower or any Parent of the Borrower or contributions to the equity capital of the Borrower (collectively, including any such contributions,
“Refunding Capital Stock”) and (b) the declaration and payment of accrued dividends on the Retired Capital Stock out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Borrower or to an
employee stock ownership plan or any trust established by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) of Refunding Capital Stock; 
  

 31 

 (3) the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (or as promptly as practicable after giving any requisite notice to the holders of such Subordinated Indebtedness) of, new
Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party which is Incurred in accordance with the covenant in Section 2.01 of this Annex so long as (a) the principal amount of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of
the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value (plus the amount of any premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument governing the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased,
acquired or retired plus any fees incurred in connection therewith), (b) such Indebtedness is Incurred by the Borrower or by a Subsidiary Loan Party in respect of refinanced Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Loan Party and, in each case, is
subordinated to the Credit Agreement Obligations, or the related guarantee, as the case may be, at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value,
(c) such Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity date equal to or later than the earlier of (x) final scheduled maturity date of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired or (y) at least 91
days later than the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, and (d) such Indebtedness has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time Incurred which is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Subordinated Indebtedness
being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired; 
 (4) the repurchase, retirement or other acquisition (or dividends to any Parent of
the Borrower to finance any such repurchase, retirement or other acquisition) for value of Equity Interests of the Borrower or any Parent of the Borrower held by any future, present or former employee, director or consultant of the Borrower, any
Parent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower pursuant to any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or other agreement or arrangement; provided, however, that the aggregate amounts
paid under this clause (4) do not exceed $7.5 million in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over to succeeding calendar years subject to a maximum payment (without giving effect to the
following proviso) of $15.0 million in any calendar year); provided, further, however, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed: (a) the cash proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries from the sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock or Designated Preferred Stock) of the Borrower to members of management, directors or consultants of the Borrower, any Parent of the Borrower and Restricted Subsidiaries
of the Borrower (provided that the amount of such cash proceeds utilized for any such repurchase, retirement, other acquisition or dividend will not increase the amount available for Restricted Payments under clause (c) of the immediately
preceding paragraph); plus (b) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Borrower, any Parent of the Borrower (to the extent contributed to the Borrower) or the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower after the
Second Restatement Effective Date; less (c) the amount of any Restricted Payments previously made pursuant to subclauses (a) and (b) of this second proviso of clause (4); provided that the Borrower may elect to apply all or any
portion of the aggregate increase contemplated by subclauses (a) and (b) above in any calendar year; 
 (5) 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 issued or incurred in accordance with the covenant in Section 2.01 of this Annex; 
 (6) the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions (a) to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred Stock (other than
Disqualified Stock) issued after the Second Restatement Effective Date and (b) to any Parent of the Borrower, the proceeds of which will be used to fund the payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred Stock
(other than Disqualified Stock) of any Parent of the Borrower issued after the Second Restatement Effective Date; provided, however, that (A) in the case of subclause (a) and (b) of this clause (6), for the most recently 

  

 32 

 
ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Designated Preferred
Stock, after giving effect to such issuance (and the payment of dividends or distributions) on a pro forma basis, the Borrower would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio test
in the first paragraph of the covenant in Section 2.01 of this Annex and (B) the aggregate amount of dividends declared and paid pursuant to subclause (a) and (b) of this clause (6) does not exceed the net cash proceeds

 (7) the payment of dividends on the Borrower’s common Capital Stock (or the payment of dividends to any Parent of the Borrower to fund the payment
by such Parent of the Borrower of dividends on such entity’s common Capital Stock) of up to 6.0% per annum of the net cash proceeds received by or contributed to the Borrower from any public offering of common Capital Stock after the
Second Restatement Effective Date, other than public offerings with respect to common Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Parent of the Borrower registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 and other than any public sale constituting an Excluded
Contribution; 
 (8) Investments that are made with Excluded Contributions; 
 (9) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30.0 million; 
 (10) the distribution, as a dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Stock of, or Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Borrower by, Unrestricted Subsidiaries (other than to the extent such Investments were made pursuant to clause (9) above or pursuant to clauses (9) or (10) of the definition of Permitted Investments); 
 (11) (a) for so long as the Borrower is a Flow Through Entity, payment of dividends or other distributions to any member of the Borrower in an amount,

Liability Company Agreement as in effect on the Second Restatement Effective Date with respect to the Borrower for such period or (ii) in the event that Section 6.3.4 of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement
is no longer operable, equal to (A) the product of the amount of aggregate net taxable income allocated by the Borrower to such member of the Borrower for such period multiplied by the Presumed Tax Rate for such period less (B) the amount
of dividends or other distributions, if any, received by such member from the Borrower during such period; and (b) if the Borrower is not a Flow Through Entity, payment of dividends or other distributions to any direct or indirect Parent of the
Borrower that files a consolidated U.S. federal tax return that includes the Borrower and its subsidiaries in an amount not to exceed the amount that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been required to pay in respect of federal,
state or local taxes, as the case may be, in respect of such year if the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries had paid such taxes directly as a stand-alone taxpayer or stand-alone group; 
 (12) the declaration and payment of dividends to, or the making of loans to, any Parent of the Borrower (a) in amounts required for such entity to

public company with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and professional and administrative expenses) for any direct or indirect parent entity of the Borrower to the extent such expenses are attributable to the ownership
or operation of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries 

  

 33 

 
and (b) in amounts required for any Parent of the Borrower to pay interest and/or principal on Indebtedness that satisfies each of the following:

Transactions (including payments made pursuant to or as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, whether payable on the Closing Date or thereafter), or owed by any Parent of the Borrower, the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower to
Affiliates, in each case to the extent permitted by the covenant in Section 2.05 of this Annex; 
 provided, however, that at the time of,
and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (5), (6), (7), (9), and (10), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 
 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 Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined in
good faith by senior management or the Board of Directors of the Borrower. 
 As of the Second Restatement Effective Date, all of the
Borrower’s Subsidiaries will be Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of
designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments
or Permitted Investments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will only be permitted if Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments in such amount would be
permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 Section 2.03 Dividend and
Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. 
 The Borrower covenants and agrees with each Lender that, so long as this Agreement
shall remain in effect (except contingent indemnification obligations) and until the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under any Loan Document have
been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, the Borrower will not, and will not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (a)(i) pay

 (4) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary which was in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which
encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; 
 (5) contracts or agreements for the sale of assets, including customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement that has been
entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary;

Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to the covenants in Sections 2.01 and 2.06 of this Annex that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; 
 (7) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

(8) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements (including customary provisions in agreements relating to any Joint
Venture);

impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (c) above on the property so acquired; 
 (10) customary provisions contained in
leases, licenses, contracts and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the type described in clause (c) above on the property subject to such lease;

Subsidiary of the Borrower that is Incurred subsequent to the Second Restatement Effective Date and permitted pursuant to the covenant in Section 2.01 of this Annex; provided that such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or
instrument will not materially affect the Borrower’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Credit Agreement Obligations (as determined in good faith by senior management or the Board of Directors of the Borrower);

  

 35 

 (12) restrictions pursuant to the Equipment Financing Agreements; and 
 (13) any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above imposed by any amendments, modifications,

restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of senior management or the Board of Directors of the Borrower, no more restrictive as a whole with respect to such encumbrances
and restrictions than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing. 
 For
purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common Capital Stock shall not be
deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Borrower or any
such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

 The Borrower covenants and agrees with each Lender that, so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect (except contingent
indemnification obligations) and until the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under any Loan Document have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit
have been canceled or have expired and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause

 (3) immediately after
giving effect to such transaction no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
 (4) immediately after giving pro

 39 

 
Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the
Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), either (a) the Borrower would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio test set forth in the first
paragraph of the covenant in Section 2.01 of this Annex; or (b) the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or less than such ratio for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries

will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 For purposes of this covenant, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Borrower, which
properties and assets, if held by the Borrower instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially
all of the properties and assets of the Borrower. 
 The Borrower further covenants that subject to certain limitations in the Agreement
governing release of a guarantee upon the sale or disposition of a Subsidiary of the Borrower that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, each Subsidiary Loan Party will not, and the Borrower will not permit any Subsidiary Loan Party to, consolidate,
amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Subsidiary Loan Party is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or
more related transactions to, any Person unless: 
 (1) such Subsidiary Loan Party is a surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving
any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Loan Party) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company
organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof (such Subsidiary Loan Party or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Subsidiary
Loan Party”); 
 (2) the Successor Subsidiary Loan Party (if other than such Subsidiary Loan Party) satisfies the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement; and 
 (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an
obligation of the Successor Subsidiary Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Subsidiary Loan Party or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
  

 40 

 Subject to certain limitations in the Agreement, the Successor Subsidiary Loan Party (if other than such
Subsidiary Loan Party) will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Subsidiary Loan Party under the applicable Loan Documents and such Subsidiary Loan Party’s guarantee, and such Subsidiary Loan Party will automatically be released and
discharged from its obligations under the applicable Loan Documents and such Subsidiary Loan Party’s guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Subsidiary Loan Party may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated
or organized solely for the purpose of incorporating or organizing such Subsidiary Loan Party in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the
Subsidiary Loan Party is not increased thereby and (ii) a Subsidiary Loan Party may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with another Subsidiary Loan Party or the Borrower. 
  

 41Letter Agreement between BriteSmile and Nhat Ngo

 Exhibit 10.42 
 LETTER AGREEMENT 
 October 13, 2005 
 Nhat Ngo 
 Dear Nhat, 
 As you know, BriteSmile, Inc. (the “Company”) has retained Piper Jaffrey as its investment banker to explore alternatives to enhance
shareholder value. Such alternatives may involve a future sale of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) a controlling interest in the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (a “Sale”).

 In order to encourage you to remain in the employment of the Company, the Company has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to
provide you a retention bonus (the “Retention Bonus”), a termination payment (the “Termination Payment”) and other benefits (collectively with the Retention Bonus and Termination Payment, the “Total Benefits”) under the
circumstances described in this Letter Agreement (the “Agreement”). Accordingly, this Agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the payment to you of the Total Benefits, subject only to court approval in the event that the Company
elects to file a bankruptcy proceeding prior to the consummation of a Sale or your termination. 
 1. Retention Bonus. The Company is willing to pay
you a Retention Bonus under one of the circumstances described below. You may be eligible for receipt of one (1) Retention Bonus; you will receive Payment of a Retention Bonus under the first to occur of the circumstances described in
(a) or (b) below, but not both: 
 (a) If a Sale is consummated on or prior to May 5, 2006 (the “Expiration Date”),
and if you remain employed by the Company or any of its affiliates to the date of consummation of such Sale (the “Consummation Date”), you shall receive from the Company or its successor a Retention Bonus equal to twenty-five percent
(25%) of your annual base salary in effect as of the date of this letter. The Retention Bonus shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment within ten (10) days following the Consummation Date. 
 (b) In the event that, (i) prior to the Expiration Date, a sale of either the Company’s associated center division or the Company’s center
division is consummated and you were employed by the Company on the date such sale is consummated and (ii) if a Sale is consummated on or prior to the Expiration Date and if you are not employed by the Company or any of its affiliates on the
date of consummation of such Sale (other than for reasons of Cause (as defined below)), then you shall receive from the Company or its successor a Retention Bonus equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of your annual base salary in effect as of the
date your employment with the Company terminated in a lump sum cash payment within ten (10) days following the Consummation Date. 

 2. Termination of Employment. (a) In the event that, prior to the Expiration Date, a Sale is consummated and
as a result of such Sale your employment with the Company and its affiliates is terminated by the Company (including for Constructive Termination but not with New Employment, both as defined below) other than for Cause, then you will receive from
the Company or its successor a Termination Payment equal to one month for each full year of employment (with minimum of two months)(the “Termination Payment Severance Period”) multiplied by your monthly base salary in effect as of the
Consummation Date. Payment of this Termination Payment will be made in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following termination of your employment. 
 (b) In the event that, prior to the Expiration Date, a sale of either the Company’s associated center division or the Company’s center division is consummated and as a result of such sale your employment
with the Company and its affiliates is terminated by the Company (including for Constructive Termination but not with New Employment) other than for Cause, and you have not received a Retention Payment under paragraph 1, then you will receive from
the Company or its successor a Termination Payment equal to the sum of (i) the Termination Payment Severance Period plus (ii) three (the “Termination Benefit Amount”), multiplied by your monthly base salary in effect as of the
date of this letter. Payment of this Termination Payment will be made in a cash lump sum within ten (10) days following termination of your employment. 
 (c) For purposes of this Agreement “Cause” shall mean (1) your willful and continued failure to substantially perform you duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the
incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Company, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes that you have not substantially
performed your duties, or (2) your willful engaging in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or its subsidiaries, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of this definition, no act,
or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done;, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company. 
 (d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Constructive Termination” shall mean (i) a material diminution in your title, (ii) a material
diminution in your duties, responsibilities or authority or (iii) the Company headquarters is moved such that your one-way commute is increased by more than 20 miles from its current distance, any of which occur without your prior consent. For
purposes of this Agreement, “New Employment” shall mean employment by the purchaser of the Company’s associated center division and/or the Company’s center division following termination by the Company. 
  

 2 

 3. Other Benefits. Following your termination pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b), the Company will provide, at its
expense, continuation of medical, dental and vision coverage for you and your current dependents as listed on your current insurance coverage under the federal law known as COBRA for that number of months which is equal to the Termination Benefit
Amount. At the conclusion of the period during which the Company pays for your medical, dental and vision coverage pursuant to the foregoing sentence, you may elect to continue to receive medical, dental and vision coverage under COBRA. However, if
you elect to do so, you will tie required to pay the premiums for such coverage. 
 4. Amendment and Duration of this Agreement. No provision of this
Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by you and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach of the other party hereto of, or
compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations,
oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. 
 5. Nontransferability. You shall not have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments which you may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under
this Agreement. 
 6. No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any
fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving you the right to be retained in the service of the Company or its successor, and you shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if this Agreement had
never been executed. 
 7. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, present and
future, and any successor to the Company. 
 8. Withholding Taxes. All amounts to be paid hereunder shall be paid net of the amount of any taxes that
the Company or its successor may be required to withhold therefrom in respect of any federal, state, local or other income or other taxes. 
 9. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah without giving effect to its principles of conflict of laws. 
 10.
Confidentiality. All payments described herein are conditioned on you maintaining complete confidentiality of the engagement by the Company of investment bankers and other professionals to assist the Company in respect of the Sale, the
process of conducting and concluding the Sale and the terms of this Agreement.

 If you understand and agree with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, please sign below and return
