1.3 Pro Forma Calculations. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Net Total Secured Leverage
Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.3; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 1.3, when calculating the Consolidated Net Total
Leverage Ratio for purposes of (i) the Excess Cash Flow Percentage and (ii) determining actual compliance (and not compliance on a pro forma basis) with Section 7.1, the events described in this Section 1.3 that

simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial
definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable period. If since the beginning of any applicable period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged,
amalgamated or consolidated with or into Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.3, then the
Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Net Total Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.3. 

(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer of Holdings and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of cost savings and synergies projected by Holdings in good faith to be reasonably anticipated to be realizable within 12 months after the closing date of such
Specified Transaction (provided that to the extent any such operational changes are not associated with a transaction, such changes shall be limited to those for which all steps have been taken for realizing such savings and are factually
supportable, reasonably identifiable and supported by an officer’s certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period
as if such cost savings and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period) relating to such Specified Transaction, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that any increase in
Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings and synergies shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Consolidated EBITDA. 

(d) In the event that a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by
redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Net Total Secured Leverage Ratio, as the case may be (in each case, other than
Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), (i) during the applicable period and (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable period and prior to or
simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Net Total Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or
repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable period. 
 SECTION 2. 

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS 

2.1 Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (each, an
“Initial Term Loan” and collectively, the “Initial Term Loans”) in Dollars to the Borrowers on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Initial Term Commitment of such Lender. The Initial Term
Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrowers and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.13. 

  
 35 

 2.2 Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing. The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent
irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the day of the anticipated Closing Date) requesting that the Term Lenders make the Term Loans on the Closing Date and
specifying the amount to be borrowed. The Initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be ABR Loans unless the initial Term Lenders and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Term Lender thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Closing Date each Term Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal
to the Term Loan or Term Loans to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account designated in writing by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative
Agent by the Term Lenders in immediately available funds. 
 2.3 Amortization. The Term Loan of each Term Lender shall be payable in
equal consecutive quarterly installments, commencing on March 31, 2014, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December following the Closing Date in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Term Loans
funded on the Closing Date (as adjusted to reflect any prepayments thereof), with the remaining balance thereof payable on the Term Maturity Date. 

2.4 [Reserved]. 
 2.5
[Reserved]. 
 2.6 [Reserved]. 

2.7 [Reserved]. 
 2.8
Repayment of Term Loans. 
 (a) The Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the appropriate Term Lender, the principal amount of each outstanding Term Loan of such Term Lender made to the Borrowers in installments in accordance with the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.3 (or on such
earlier date on which the Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrowers hereby further agree, jointly and severally, to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans made to the Borrowers from time to
time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15. 

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

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(iv), and a subaccount
therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Term Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Term Loan, the Type of such Term Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any
principal, interest and fees, as applicable, due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each
Lender’s share thereof. 

  
 36 

 (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to
Section 2.8(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded (absent manifest error); provided, however, that the
failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Term Loans made to the
Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that the Term Loans made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to 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 Term Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.6) be represented by one or more promissory notes in
such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 

2.9 Fees, etc. The Borrowers, jointly and severally agree to pay to the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the
Documentation Agent, for their respective accounts, such fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or the Documentation Agent, as the case may be. 

The Borrowers, jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender on the Closing Date
“original issue discount” or upfront fees, as determined by the Lead Arrangers, in an amount equal to 1.00% of Term Loans funded by each Lender. 

2.10 [Reserved]. 
 2.11
Optional Prepayments. 
 (a) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, one
Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify (i) the date and amount of prepayment and (ii) whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided that if a Eurodollar Loan is
prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (provided that such notice may be conditioned on receiving the proceeds of any Amendment or
Refinancing of Indebtedness, any Equity Issuance, the consummation of a Change of Control or the Disposition of Property), together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of (i) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (in the case of prepayments of ABR Loans) or (ii) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (in the case of prepayments of Eurodollar
Loans), and in each case shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18. 

  
 37 

 (b) In the event that, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrowers
(x) make any prepayment of Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction, or (y) effect any amendment of this Agreement having the effect of a Repricing Transaction, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable account of each of the Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans being prepaid and (II) in the case of clause (y), a payment equal to 1% of the aggregate
principal amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. 
 2.12 Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with
Section 7.2) shall be incurred by a Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds toward the prepayment of the Term
Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d). 
 (b) Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date a Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor shall for its own account receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date toward the
prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date (the “Trigger Date”) that is six months after the applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Term
Loans shall be prepaid as set forth in Section 2.12(d) by an amount equal to the portion of any Committed Reinvestment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event not actually expended by such Trigger Date; provided
further that such Net Cash Proceeds may be applied, along with such prepayment of Term Loans (to the extent the Borrowers elect, or are required by the terms thereof), to purchase, redeem or repay any Permitted First Priority Refinancing
Debt, pursuant to the agreements governing such other Indebtedness, on not more than a pro rata basis with respect to such prepayments of Term Loans. 

(c) Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, if, for any fiscal year of Holdings commencing with the fiscal year ending on or nearest
to January 31, 2015, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrowers shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply an amount equal to (i) the Excess Cash Flow Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the
sum of (A) the aggregate amount of all prepayments or cash collateralization of ABL Indebtedness during such fiscal year or, at the Borrowers’ option and without duplication across fiscal years, after such fiscal year but prior to the
Excess Cash Flow Application Date, to the extent accompanied by permanent optional reductions of the commitments under the ABL Facility and (B) all optional prepayments of the Term Loans during such fiscal year or, at the Borrowers’ option
and without duplication across fiscal years, after such fiscal year but prior to the Excess Cash Flow Application Date, pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.27 and all optional prepayments or repurchases of Permitted First Priority
Refinancing Debt during such fiscal year or, at the Borrowers’ option and without duplication across fiscal years, after such fiscal year but prior to the Excess Cash Flow Application Date (with the amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to
Section 2.27 or Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt being prepaid or repurchased being equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal amount thereof and the cash purchase price therefor), in each case other than to the extent any such
prepayment is funded with the proceeds of new long-term Indebtedness, toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d). Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application
Date”) no later than ten Business Days after the date on which the financial statements of Holdings referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the
Lenders. 

  
 38 

 (d) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be
applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.18(b) until paid in full. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar
Loans. Each prepayment of the Term Loans under Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.12(d), 2.18 or 10.7, with respect to the amount of any mandatory prepayment
described in Section 2.12 that is allocated to Term Loans (which, for avoidance of doubt, includes any New Term Loans) (such amounts, the “Prepayment Amount”), at any time when Term Loans remain outstanding, the Borrowers will,
in lieu of applying such amount to the prepayment of Term Loans as provided in paragraph (d) above, on the date specified in Section 2.12 for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing)
requesting that the Administrative Agent prepare and provide to each Term Lender (which, for avoidance of doubt, includes each New Term Lender) a notice (each, a “Prepayment Option Notice”) as described below. As promptly as
practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent will send to each Term Lender a Prepayment Option Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit J (or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent), and
shall include an offer by the Borrowers to prepay on the date (each a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) that is ten Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice, the relevant Term Loans of such Lender by an amount equal
to the portion of the Prepayment Amount indicated in such Lender’s Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such Lender’s Term Loans. On the Mandatory Prepayment Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the relevant Term Lenders the
aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant Term Loans in respect of which such Lenders have accepted (it being understood that any Lender’s failure to object prior to the relevant Mandatory Prepayment Date
shall be deemed as an acceptance by such Lender of such Prepayment Option Notice and the amount to be prepaid in respect of Term Loans held by such Lender) prepayment as described above; provided that, following such offer and application,
any amount remaining unapplied shall be offered by the Administrative Agent ratably to the Term Lenders not so declining such prepayment as a further prepayment hereunder (with such Lenders having the right to accept or decline such further
prepayment at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent) and, to the extent such Term Lenders decline to accept further prepayment, any amount remaining unapplied (collectively, the “Declined Amounts”) shall
be returned to the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lenders shall not be permitted to decline proceeds from any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness. 

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.12, (i) to the extent that the repatriation to the United States of any
Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries (“Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow”) would be (x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law or (y) restricted by applicable organizational documents or
(z) prohibited, delayed or restricted any agreement permitted by Section 7.13, an amount equal to the portion of such Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow that would be so affected were the Borrowers to attempt to repatriate such cash will
not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.12 so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law or applicable organizational documents would not otherwise permit repatriation to the United
States (the Borrowers hereby agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions on repatriation, even if the Borrowers do not intend to actually repatriate such cash, so that an amount equal to the full
amount of such Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow will otherwise be subject to repayment under this Section 2.12), and if within one year following the date on which the respective prepayment would otherwise have been required such
repatriation of any of such affected Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow is permissible under the applicable local law or applicable organizational documents (even if such cash is actually not repatriated), an amount equal to the amount of the
Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow that could be repatriated will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days) applied (net of an amount equal to the 

  
 39 

 
additional taxes that would be payable or reserved against as a result of a repatriation and any additional costs that would be incurred as a result of a repatriation, whether or not a
repatriation actually occurs) by the Borrowers to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 and (ii) to the extent that the Borrowers have determined in good faith that repatriation of any Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash
Flow would have adverse tax cost consequences with respect to such Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow, an amount equal to such Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow that would be so affected will not be subject to repayment under this
Section 2.12; provided that for purposes of this Section 2.12, Excess Cash Flow shall be deemed allocable to each Foreign Subsidiary, with respect to any period, in an amount equal to (i) the Consolidated EBITDA of such Foreign
Subsidiary for such period, divided by (ii) the Consolidated EBITDA of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period (it being understood and agreed for the avoidance of doubt that such allocation shall exclude any reduction from
interest and principal payments in respect of the Obligations). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement requires, or is intended to require, any actual repatriation of any Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow. 

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.12, (i) to the extent that the repatriation to the United States of any
or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (“Foreign Disposition”) or the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary (“Foreign Recovery Event”) would be
(x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law, (y) restricted by applicable organizational documents or any agreement permitted by Section 7.12 or 7.13 or (z) subject to other onerous organizational or administrative
impediments, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds that would be so affected were the Borrowers to attempt to repatriate such cash will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.12 so long, but
only so long, as the applicable local law, applicable organizational documents or other impediment would not otherwise permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrowers hereby agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or
eliminate any such restrictions on or impediments to repatriation even if the Borrowers do not intend to actually repatriate such cash, so that an amount equal to the full amount of such Net Cash Proceeds will otherwise be subject to repayment under
this Section 2.12), and if within one year following the date on which the respective prepayment would otherwise have been required such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permissible under the applicable local law or
applicable organizational documents or the impediment to such repatriation has ceased to exist, even if such cash is not actually repatriated at such time, an amount equal to the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not
later than two Business Days) applied (net of an amount equal to the additional taxes that would be payable or reserved against and any additional costs that would be incurred as a result of a repatriation, whether or not a repatriation actually
occurs) by the Borrowers to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 and (ii) to the extent that the Borrowers have determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign
Disposition or Foreign Recovery Event would have adverse tax cost consequences with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds that would be so affected will not be subject to repayment under this Section 2.12.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement requires, or is intended to require, any actual repatriation of any Foreign Subsidiary’s Net Cash Proceeds. 

2.13 Conversion and Continuation Options. 

(a) The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans made to the Borrowers to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent
prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided that if any Eurodollar Loan is so converted on any day other than the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans made to the Borrowers to Eurodollar Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date 

  
 40 

 
(which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant
Lender thereof. 
 (b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such by the Borrowers giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent,
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed continuation date, of the length of
the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Term Loans; provided that if any Eurodollar Loan is so continued on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing
pursuant to Section 2.21 and; provided, further, that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in
its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations and; provided, further, that if the Borrowers shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant
to the preceding proviso such Term Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender
thereof. 
 2.14 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto,
the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each tranche of Eurodollar Loans shall be equal to a minimum of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten tranches of Eurodollar Loans
shall be outstanding at any one time. 
 2.15 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. 

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Term Loan shall not be paid when due (whether
at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2%, and
(ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Term Loan or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, but after giving effect to any
applicable grace period therefor), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such
non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after and before judgment). 
 (d) Interest shall be payable by the Borrowers in
arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. 

  
 41 

 2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees. 

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with
respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrowers and the
relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Term Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on
which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrowers and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be presumptively
correct in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrowers, deliver to the Borrowers a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to
Section 2.15(a) and Section 2.15(b). 
 2.17 Inability to Determine Rates. 

If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof
that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Term Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan or in connection with a ABR Loan, or (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan or in
connection with a Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Term Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to
make or maintain Eurodollar Loans and ABR Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice
(any such time period, the “Eurodollar Unavailability Period”). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or, failing that, will
be deemed to have converted such request into a request for ABR Loans in the amount specified therein. 
 2.18 Pro Rata Treatment and
Payments. 
 (a) Each borrowing by the Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the
respective Term Percentages of the relevant Lenders. Each payment (other than prepayments, to the extent expressly provided for herein) in respect of principal or interest in respect of the Term Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable
hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Term Lenders, pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to such Lenders. 

(b) Each optional prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof as specified by the Borrowers. Each
mandatory prepayment on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be applied to any installments thereof (1) in direct order of maturity of the remaining installments under the Term Facility for
the next eight (8) amortization payments following the relevant prepayment event, and (2) thereafter, ratably to remaining installments. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 

  
 42 

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding
Sections 2.18(a) and (b) shall be subject to (i) the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, (ii) the express provisions
of this Agreement which permit disproportionate payments with respect to various of the Tranches as, and to the extent, provided herein, and (iii) the express provisions of Sections 2.24, 2.25, 2.26, 2.27, 2.28 and 2.29, which permit
disproportionate payments with respect to the Loans as, and to the extent, provided therein. 
 (d) All payments (including prepayments) by
the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made in Dollars without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Funding Office, in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment
hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a
day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on
the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the
amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be
presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent
shall give notice of such fact to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from the Borrowers. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers against any Defaulting Lender. 
 (f) Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrowers prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrowers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrowers is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount.
If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each relevant Lender to which any amount which was made
available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender against the Borrowers.

 2.19 Requirements of Law. 

(a) If any Change in Law: 

(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets
held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar
Rate hereunder; 
 (ii) shall subject any Lender to any additional Taxes with respect to any Loan Document or any Term Loan
made pursuant to this Agreement (except for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, which are indemnified under Section 2.20, and any Excluded Tax); or 

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition not otherwise contemplated hereunder; 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender by an amount which such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making,
converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans (in each case hereunder), or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender within ten Business Days
after the Borrowers’ receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor (showing with reasonable detail the calculations thereof), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or
compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the date
hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but
for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to
the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a reasonably detailed written request therefor (consistent with the detail provided by such Lender to similarly situated borrowers), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction. 
 (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the
Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided that if the Change in Law giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. 

  
 44 

 2.20 Taxes. 

(a) All payments made by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of, any Taxes unless required by applicable Requirements of Law. If any Taxes are required to be withheld by any applicable withholding agent from any amounts payable by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan
Document, (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of
Law, and (iii) to the extent the deduction is on account of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary such that
the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after deduction or withholding of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. 

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. 
 (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by any Loan
Party pursuant to this Section 2.20, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrowers shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official
receipt received by the Borrowers showing payment thereof if such receipt is obtainable, or, if not, other reasonable evidence of payment. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any Non-Excluded Taxes payable in
connection with any payments made by any Loan Party under any Loan Document and any Other Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20), and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that if an indemnitee
does not notify the Borrowers of any indemnification claim under this Section 2.20(c) within 180 days after such indemnitee has received written notice of the claim of a taxing authority giving rise to such indemnification claim, the Borrowers
shall not be required to indemnify such indemnitee for any incremental interest or penalties resulting from such indemnitee’s failure to notify the Borrowers within such 180 day period. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from
which the related participation shall have been purchased) whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) two accurate and
complete original, signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor or other applicable form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or IRS Form W-ECI (or any successor or other applicable
form), 
 (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under
Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and two accurate and complete original,
signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions or successors to such forms, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender, 

  
 45 

 (iii) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example,
where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two accurate and complete original, signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable form) of the Non-U.S. Lender, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
W-8BEN, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-8IMY, as applicable, or any other required information (or any successor or other applicable forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.20 if such beneficial
owner were a Lender (provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and not a participant Lender), and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate may be provided by such Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of such beneficial owners, provided such certificates are duly executed and properly completed originals), or 

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income Tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from
or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or
deduction required to be made. 
 Forms described in this Section 2.20(d) shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a
party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, invalidity or
expiration of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing at any time such Non-U.S. Lender determines that it is no longer in a position to
provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph,
a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to Section 2.20(d) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. 

(e) Each Lender or Transferee that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a
“U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original, signed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form. Such forms shall be delivered by
each U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, invalidity or expiration of any form previously delivered by such U.S. Lender. Each
U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing at any time it determines that such U.S. Lender is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certifications to the Borrowers (or any other form
of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose). Where a Participant has delivered an IRS Form W-8 to a U.S. Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(d), such U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original, signed copies thereof on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation. 

(f) If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent,
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or 

  
 46 

 
the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Recipient has complied with such Lender’s
obligations under FATCA or to determine, if necessary, the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this Section 2.02(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 
 (g) On or before the date the Administrative Agent (or any successor thereto) becomes a party to this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall provide to the Borrowers two accurate and complete original, signed copies of IRS Form W-9. In addition, the Administrative Agent (or any successor thereto) shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence,
invalidity or expiration of any form previously delivered. 
 (h) If the Administrative Agent or any Recipient determines, in good faith,
that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.19 or this Section 2.20,
it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the
Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative
Agent or such Recipient in the event the Administrative Agent or such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority; provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not be required to repay to the Administrative
Agent or the Recipient an amount in excess of the amount paid over by such party to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Recipient to make available its tax returns
(or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. 
 (i) The agreements in
this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. 
 2.21 Indemnity. The
Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense (other than lost profits, including the Applicable Margin) that such Lender may actually sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default
by the Borrowers in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrowers have given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrowers in
making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrowers have given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment, conversion or continuation of Eurodollar Loans
on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A reasonably detailed certificate as to (showing in reasonable detail the calculation of) any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrowers by any
Lender shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. 

2.22 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof, in each case, first made after the date hereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to
the Administrative 

  
 47 

 
Agent and the Borrowers, and (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be
suspended during the period of such illegality and (b) such Lender’s Term Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods
with respect to such Term Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. 
 If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a
day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21. 

2.23 Mitigation of Costs; Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the
operation of Section 2.19, 2.20(a), 2.20(c) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for
any Term Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer
no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage and; provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19,
2.20(a), 2.20(c) or 2.22. 
 2.24 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace with a financial institution,
or prepay all the outstanding Loans of, any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 (to the extent a request made by a Lender pursuant to the operation of Section 2.21 is
materially greater than requests made by other Lenders) or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.22, (b) defaults in its obligations to make Term Loans hereunder or is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) that has refused to
consent to any waiver or amendment with respect to any Loan Document that requires such Lender’s consent and has been consented to by the Required Lenders; provided that (i) any such replacement does not conflict with any
Requirement of Law, (ii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, or the Borrowers shall prepay, at par, all Term Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iii) the
Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period
relating thereto, (iv) any replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent that an assignment to such replacement financial institution of the rights and
obligations being acquired by it would otherwise require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(c), (v) any replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.6, (vi) the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated,
(vii) if applicable, the replacement financial institution shall consent to such amendment or waiver and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. If a Defaulting Lender cures all the Lender Defaults that caused such Lender to become a Defaulting Lender either (a) within three Business Days after the Borrowers notifies such Defaulting Lender
that the Borrowers intends to replace such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section 2.24 or (b) if the Borrowers has not elected to remove such Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.24, at any time after such Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then three Business Days after such Defaulting Lender cures all existing Lender Defaults (to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Borrowers) with respect to such Lender, it
shall be deemed not to be a Defaulting Lender, all such Lender’s rights to payment under the Loan Documents shall be restored and the Borrowers shall no longer have the right to remove such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.24;
provided that if such Lender commits 

  
 48 

 
one or more additional Lender Defaults after the date that such Lender was reinstated as a non-Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section 2.24, the prior written consent of the
Required Lenders shall be required to restore such Lender as a non-Defaulting Lender even after the cure of all such subsequent Lender Defaults. 

2.25 Incremental Term Loans. The Borrowers may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one
or more new term loan commitments (the “New Term Loan Commitments”) hereunder, in an aggregate amount for all such New Term Loan Commitments not in excess of the greater of (a) $50.0 million and (b) an unlimited amount, so
long as in the case of this clause (b), after giving effect to such New Term Loans, the Consolidated Net Total Secured Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis (but without netting the cash proceeds of such New Term Loans for purposes of
determining the Consolidated Net Total Secured Leverage Ratio) shall be equal to or less than 3.00 to 1.00, plus, in each case, in the case of New Term Loans that serve to effectively extend the maturity of any then outstanding Term Loans, an amount
equal to the portion of such then outstanding Term Loans to be replaced with such New Term Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrowers propose that the New Term Loan
Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees; provided that any
Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any New Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such New Term Loan Commitment. Such New Term Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such
Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) no Event of Default shall exist or would exist after giving effect thereto and Holdings shall be in pro forma compliance with Section 7.1 on such Increased Amount Date after
giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments and to the making of any Tranche of New Term Loans pursuant thereto and after giving effect to any Permitted Acquisition, Investment permitted by Section 7.7 or redemption, repurchase, defeasance,
repayment or refinancing of Indebtedness consummated in accordance therewith (but without netting the cash proceeds of such New Term Loans for purposes of determining the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio) (provided that to the extent the
proceeds of such New Term Loans will be used to consummate a Permitted Acquisition or Investment permitted by Section 7.7, the conditions set forth in clause (1) above shall only be required to be satisfied on the date on which definitive
agreements with respect to such Permitted Acquisition or Investment permitted by Section 7.7 are entered into, assuming that such New Term Loan Commitments are established, and the Loans thereunder made, on such date, the proceeds thereof are
applied on such date and such Permitted Acquisition or Investment permitted by Section 7.7 closes on such date); (2) the interest rate margins applicable to any New Term Loan will be determined by the Borrowers and the Lenders providing
such New Term Loan and such interest rate margins (which shall be deemed to include original issue discount (based on a four (4) year average life to maturity or, if less, the remaining life to maturity) and upfront fees, but exclude
arrangement, commitment, structuring and underwriting fees and any amendment fees paid or payable to the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Documentation Agent (or their respective affiliates) in their capacities as such in connection with the existing
Initial Term Facility or to one or more arrangers (or its affiliates) in their capacities as such applicable to the New Term Loans or New Term Loan Commitments or any other or other fees payable in connection with the existing Initial Term Facility
or the New Term Loans or New Term Loan Commitments that are not paid generally to Lenders providing the existing Initial Term Loan Facility or such New Term Loans) will not be more than 0.50% higher than the interest margins applicable to the
existing Initial Term Facility, unless the interest rate margins with respect to the existing Initial Term Facility are increased by an amount equal to the difference between the interest rate margins with respect to the New Term Loans and the
corresponding interest rate margins on the existing Initial Term Facility, minus 0.50%, provided, that if the lowest permissible Eurodollar Rate is greater than 1.00% for such New Term Loans, the difference between such “floor” and
1.00%, in the case of the Eurodollar Rate for such New Term Loans, shall be equated to interest rate margin for purposes of this clause (3) and to the extent the provisions of this clause (3) would require the interest rate margins
applicable 

  
 49 

 
to the existing Initial Term Loans to be increased, such increase shall first be applied to the “floors” in respect of the existing Initial Term Loans; (4) the proceeds of any New
Term Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (including Permitted Acquisitions and Investments permitted by Section 7.7); (5) the New Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of
payment and of Collateral with the existing Initial Term Loans; (6) in the case of any New Term Loans, the maturity date thereof shall not be earlier than the Term Maturity Date applicable to Initial Term Loans and the Weighted Average Life to
Maturity shall be equal to or greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans that are not New Term Loans; (7) all terms and documentation with respect to any New Term Loans which differ from those with respect to
the Initial Term Loans shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, except as set forth in clauses (3) and (6) above; (8) such New Term Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements
executed and delivered by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and one or more New Term Lenders; and (9) the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by
Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date that have terms and provisions that differ from those of the Initial Term Loans, as applicable, outstanding on the date on which such
New Term Loans are made shall be designated as a separate tranche (a “Tranche”) of Term Loans, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. 

On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments become effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each
lender with a New Term Loan Commitment (each, a “New Term Lender”) shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such New Term Loan Commitment. 

The terms and provisions of the New Term Loan Commitments of any Tranche shall be, except as otherwise set forth in the relevant Joinder
Agreement, identical to those of the applicable Term Loans and for purposes of this Agreement, any New Term Loans or New Term Loan Commitments shall be deemed to be Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the
consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this
Section 2.25. 
 2.26 Extended Term Loans. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.26, the Borrowers may at any time
and from time to time when no Event of Default then exists request that all or a portion of Initial Term Loans or New Term Loans (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche” and “Existing New Term Loan Tranche”,
respectively), together with any related outstandings, be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or any portion of the principal amount (and related outstandings) of such Term Loans, New
Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans” and “Extended New Term Loans”, respectively) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.26. In order to
establish any Extended Loans, the Borrowers shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche) (each, an “Extension Request”)
setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under the relevant Existing Tranche (other than the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and (y) be
identical to the Term Loans under the relevant Existing Tranche from which such Extended Loans are to be converted, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to
later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Extension

Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately
prior to the establishment of such Extended Loans); (iii) Extended Term Loans may have mandatory prepayment terms which provide for the application of proceeds from mandatory prepayment events to be made first to prepay the Term Loans under the
relevant Existing Tranche from which such Extended Loans have been converted before applying any such proceeds to prepay such Extending Term Loans; and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and
terms which allow Term Loans under the relevant Existing Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted to be optionally prepaid prior to the prepayment of such Extended Term Loans) as may be agreed by the Borrowers and the Lenders
thereof; provided that no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which all Term Loans with an earlier final stated maturity (including Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Term Loans were
converted) are repaid in full, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of such other Term Loans; provided, however, that (A) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Loans
of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Term Loans hereunder and (B) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Loans of a given Extension Series at
the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any other Term Loans then outstanding. Any Extended Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each,
an “Extension Series”) of Extended Loans, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Loans converted from an Existing Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension
Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such Existing Tranche. 
 (b) The
Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be
established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.26. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Tranche
converted into Extended Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (i) (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such
Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the
applicable Existing Tranche which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). Any Lender that does not respond to the Extension Request on or
prior to the date specified therein shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the respective Existing Term Loan Tranche, subject to Extension Elections relating to a
particular Extension Request, exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to such Extension Request, Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Tranche shall either (i) be converted to Extended Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan
Tranche, on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Tranche included in each such Extension Elections or (ii) to the extent such option is expressly set forth in the respective
Extension Request, the Borrowers shall have the option to increase the amount of Extended Term Loans so that such excess does not exist. 

(c) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among
the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender, providing an Extended Term Loan thereunder which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.26(a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any
other Lender). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender as to the effectiveness of 

  
 51 

 
each Extension Amendment. After giving effect to the Extension, the Commitments shall cease to be a part of the Tranche they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension and shall be a new
Tranche hereunder. 
 (d) With respect to any Extension consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.26, such Extension
shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to each Extension and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.26
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest or fees in respect of any Extended Term Loan on such terms as may be set forth in the Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Credit Agreement
(including, without limitation, Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.18 or 10.7) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.26, provided that such consent shall not be
deemed to be an acceptance of the Extension Request. 
 (e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of any Extended Loans incurred pursuant thereto,
(ii) modify the scheduled repayments with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans), (iii) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of Section 2.10, (iv) establish new Tranches or sub-Tranches in respect of Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary in connection with the establishment of
such new Tranches or sub-Tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.26, and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion
of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.26, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.26 and, if the Administrative Agent seeks such
advice or concurrence, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrowers in accordance with any instructions actually received by such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering
into such amendments with the Borrowers unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent for any such advice or concurrence,
all such amendments entered into with the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their
expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be
advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

 2.27 Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrowers may, at any time and from
time to time after the Closing Date, conduct reverse Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans (an “Auction”) (each such Auction to be managed exclusively by the Administrative Agent or another investment bank of recognized
standing selected by the Borrowers following consultation with the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”)), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: 

(i) each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.27
and Schedule 2.27(a); 
 (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of
each Auction Notice and at the time of purchase of the Term Loans in connection with any Auction; 
 (iii) the principal
amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans that the Borrowers offer to purchase in any such Auction shall be no less than $5,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent); 

(iv) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by the Borrowers
shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrowers on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold); 

(v) no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time; and 

(vi) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Auction Manager
an officer’s certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (ii) and (iii). 
 (b) The
Borrowers must terminate an Auction if they fail to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans, pursuant to the Auction. If the
Borrowers commence any Auction (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of the respective Auction have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the
Borrowers believe in good faith that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then the Borrowers shall have no liability to any
Lender for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans
pursuant to the Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.27, (x) the Borrowers shall pay on
the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such
purchases (and the payments made by the Borrowers and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.18 or 10.7.
At the time of purchases of Term Loans pursuant to an Auction, the then remaining scheduled repayments shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount (taking the face amount thereof) of Term Loans repurchased pursuant to such Auction with such
reduction to be applied to such repayments on a pro rata basis (based on the then-remaining principal amount of each such repayment). 

  
 53 

 (c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other
transactions contemplated by this Section 2.27 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections
2.11, 2.12, 2.18 or 10.7 (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by the Borrowers contemplated by this Section 2.27 shall not constitute Investments by the Borrowers)) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise
prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.27. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 9 and Section 10.5 mutatis
mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order
to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction. 
 2.28 Sponsor and Affiliate Term Loan
Repurchases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement, the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate or any other Affiliate of the Borrowers may be an assignee in respect of Term Loans (and to such extent shall constitute an
“Assignee”); provided that: 
 (a) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by the Sponsor and the Sponsor
Affiliates at any time shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (the “Cap”); 

(b) any such Term Loans acquired by the Sponsor or any Sponsor Affiliate may, with the consent of the Borrowers, be contributed to the
Borrowers (whether through any of their direct or indirect parent entities or otherwise) and exchanged for junior debt or equity securities of such parent entity or the Borrowers that are otherwise permitted to be issued by such entity at such time
and any such Term Loans so contributed to the Borrowers shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrowers on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold); 

(c) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of “Required Lenders”, or in Section 10.1, the Sponsor or any
Sponsor Affiliate holders of any Term Loans acquired pursuant to this Section 2.28 shall not be entitled to vote such Term Loans in any “Required Lender” vote pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (it
being understood that the holder of such Term Loans shall have the right to consent to votes requiring the consent of “all Lenders” or “all Lenders directly and affected thereby” pursuant to Section 10.1 or otherwise), and
for purposes of any such vote such Term Loans shall be deemed to have been voted in proportion to the votes of the other Lenders; 
 (d) the
Sponsor and the Sponsor Affiliates shall be prohibited from being appointed as, or succeeding to the rights and duties of, Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents until such time (if any) as when all Obligations (other
than those held by the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates) have been paid in full in cash; 
 (e) by acquiring a Term Loan hereunder, each of
the Sponsor and each Sponsor Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to have (I) waived its right to receive information prepared by Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any advisor, agent or counsel thereof) under or in connection with the Loan
Documents (in each case to the extent not provided to the Loan Parties) and attend any meeting or conference call with Administrative Agent or any Lender, (II) agreed that it is prohibited from making or bringing any claim, in its capacity as a
Lender, against Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Loan Documents, and (III) agreed, without limiting its rights as a Lender described in this Section 2.28, that it will have
no right whatsoever to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; 

  
 54 

 (f) any Term Loans acquired by Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof pursuant to this
Section 2.28 shall be immediately canceled (or contributed to the Borrowers for cancelation); 
 (g) the Sponsor or such Sponsor
Affiliate identifies itself as an Affiliate of the Loan Parties prior to the assignment of Term Loans to it pursuant to the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement; and 

(h) the assigning Lender and the Sponsor or such Sponsor Affiliate shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”) in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption. 

2.29 Refinancing Amendments. 

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans, New Term Loans or Extended Term Loans), in
the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that (A) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will rank pari passu in right of payment and of Collateral with the other
Loans and Commitments hereunder, (B) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrowers and the Lenders thereof (provided that such Credit Agreement
Refinancing Indebtedness may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment),
(C) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will have a maturity date later than the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Term Loans being refinanced, (D) subject to
clauses (B) and (C) above, such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will have terms and conditions that are substantially identical to, or less favorable to (as reasonably determined by the Borrowers) the lenders or investors providing
such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than, the Refinanced Debt and (E) the proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of
outstanding Term Loans being so refinanced; provided further that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other
provisions that are agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the then Latest Maturity Date. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof
of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (and for purposes thereof the incurrence of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a irrevocable notice pursuant to Section 2.2) and, to the extent reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates, in each case consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.1 (other than
changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), and customary reaffirmation agreements. Each Tranche of Credit Agreement
Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.29(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this
Agreement shall be deemed amended to 

  
 55 

 
the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to
treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan Commitments). 
 (b) Any Refinancing Amendment
may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the
provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.29
and, if the Administrative Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, it shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrowers in accordance with any instructions actually received by such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to
refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrowers unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent for any such
advice or concurrence, all such amendments entered into with the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders. 

(c) This Section 2.29 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or 10.1 to the contrary. 

SECTION 3. 
 [RESERVED] 

SECTION 4. 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES 
 To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Term Loans, Holdings and the
Borrowers hereby jointly represent and warrant (as to themselves and each of their Subsidiaries) to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, which representations and warranties shall be deemed made on the Closing Date and on the date of each
borrowing of Term Loans hereunder, that: 
 4.1 Financial Condition. The (i) audited income statement of Vince for the fiscal
years ending as at January 29, 2011, January 28, 2012 and February 2, 2013, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and (ii) unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Vince as
of April 27, 2013 and August 3, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal quarters ended on such dates present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of Vince as at such
dates, and the results of its operations and its cash flows (as applicable) for the respective periods then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto and normal year-end adjustments, have been prepared
in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein and, in the case of such unaudited financial statements, subject to normal year-end
adjustments and the absence of footnotes). Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1, as of the Closing Date, Holdings and its Subsidiaries (i) do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities or material liabilities for taxes,
or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, which are not reflected in the most
recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph but which would in accordance with GAAP be so reflected in a consolidated balance sheet of Holdings as of the Closing Date and (ii) are not party to any arrangement to pay principal or
interest with respect to any Indebtedness of any Person which is not 

  
 56 

 
reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph, (x) which was incurred by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or guaranteed by Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries at any time or the proceeds of which are or were transferred to or used by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) the payments in respect of which are intended to be made with the proceeds of payments to such Person by
Holdings or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries or with any Indebtedness or Capital Stock issued Holdings or any such Subsidiary. 
 4.2
No Change. 
 (a) As of the Closing Date there has been no event, circumstance, development, change or effect since February 2,
2013 that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) At any time after the Closing Date as of which
this representation and warranty is made or deemed made, there has been no event, development or circumstance since February 2, 2013 that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of Holdings, the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries (a) (i) is duly
organized (or incorporated), validly existing and in good standing (or, only where if applicable, the equivalent status in any foreign jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation, (ii) has the corporate
or organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged except, in each case, to the extent that any such
failure to have such power, authority or right would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company and in good standing (where such concept is
relevant) under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or in good standing
(where such concept is relevant) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that any such failure to comply therewith would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the
corporate power and authority to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been
obtained or made and are in full force and effect or the failure to obtain which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.17. Each Loan Document has been duly executed
and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto,
enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law) and the implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing. 

  
 57 

 4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not (a) violate the organizational or governing documents of any of the Loan Parties, (b) violate in any material respect any Requirement of Law or any
material Contractual Obligation of Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries or (c) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any
Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens permitted by Section 7.3). 
 4.6 No Material
Litigation. No litigation, proceeding or, to the knowledge of Holdings and the Borrowers, investigation of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings and the Borrowers, likely to be commenced
within a reasonable time period against Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or against any of their Properties or revenues which, taken as a whole, (a) are material and adverse with respect to any of the Loan Documents
or (b) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.7 No Default. No Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. 
 4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.8A, each of Holdings, the
Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries has good and marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in or in the case of real property subject to a license, a right to use, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid
leasehold interest in or right to use, all its other Property (other than Intellectual Property), in each case, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such Property is
subject to any Lien except as permitted by the Loan Documents. Schedule 4.8B lists all real property which is owned, leased or licensed to use by any Loan Party as of the Closing Date. 

4.9 Intellectual Property. Each of Holdings, the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or has a valid license to use, all
Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens permitted by Section 7.3 and except where the failure to so own or have a license to use would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To Holdings’ or the Borrowers’ knowledge, no holding, injunction, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority and none of Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their
Restricted Subsidiaries has entered into any settlement stipulation or other agreement (except license agreements in the ordinary course of business) which would cancel the validity of Holdings’, the Borrowers’ or any Restricted
Subsidiary’s rights in any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by Holdings, the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary (the “Borrower Intellectual Property”) in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. To Holdings’ or the Borrowers’ knowledge, no pending claim has been asserted or threatened in writing by any Person challenging the use by Holdings, the Borrowers or its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Borrower
Intellectual Property or the validity of any Borrower Intellectual Property, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To Holdings’ or the Borrowers’ knowledge, the use of any Borrower
Intellectual Property by Holdings, the Borrowers or their Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any other Person in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Holdings, the Borrowers and their
Restricted Subsidiaries have taken all commercially reasonable actions that in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment should be taken to protect the Borrower Intellectual Property, including Borrower Intellectual Property that is
confidential in nature, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 58 

 4.10 Taxes. Each of Holdings, the Borrowers and each of their Restricted Subsidiaries
(i) has timely filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, provincial and other Tax returns that are required to be filed by it, and (ii) has duly and timely paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns and all other
Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property, assets, income, businesses and franchises by any Governmental Authority responsible for administering Taxes (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which any reserves required in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Holdings, the Borrowers or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be), except in each
case where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no current, proposed or, to the knowledge of Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their Restricted
Subsidiaries, pending Tax assessments, deficiencies or audits against Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, except those that are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
with respect to which any reserves required in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Holdings, the Borrowers or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, or that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the
aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Term Loans, and no other
extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect
or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a
statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U. 
 4.12
ERISA. 
 (a) Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: neither
a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412(a) of the Code or Section 302(a)(2) of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation
is made with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and each Plan has complied with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code; no termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Single Employer Plan has
arisen, during such five-year period; the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Single Employer Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on
which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Single Employer Plan allocable to such accrued benefits; none of Holdings, the Borrowers nor any of their Restricted Subsidiaries has had (or reasonably expects
to have) a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a liability under ERISA and, to the knowledge of Holdings and the Borrowers, no Multiemployer Plan is in
Reorganization or Insolvent. 
 (b) Holdings, the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries have not incurred, and do not reasonably
expect to incur, any liability under ERISA or the Code with respect to any plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA which is subject to Title IV of ERISA that is maintained by a Commonly Controlled Entity (other than Holdings, the
Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries) (a “Commonly Controlled Plan”) merely by virtue of being treated as a single employer under Title IV of ERISA with the sponsor of such plan that would reasonably be likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect and result in a direct obligation of Holdings, the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries to pay money. 

  
 59 

 4.13 Investment Company Act. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a
company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party and the designation of such Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

 4.16 Accuracy of
Information, etc. No statement or information (excluding the projections and pro forma financial information referred to below and information of a general economic or general industry nature) contained in this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, the Confidential Information Memorandum or any certificate furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents when taken as a whole, contained as of the date such statement, information, or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the Closing Date), any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements contained therein. The projections and
pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrowers to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the
Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact, that such financial information is subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Loan Parties,
that no assurance can be given that the projected results will be realized, and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and financial information may differ significantly from the projected results set forth
therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Confidential Information
Memorandum or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents. 

4.17 Security Documents.

any proceeds of any item of Collateral) to the extent required by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. In the case of (i) the Pledged Securities described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when any stock certificates or notes, as

delivered to the Administrative Agent) and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 4.17 are made, the Administrative Agent shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in
such Collateral (including any proceeds of any item of Collateral) (to the extent a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected through the filing of financing statements in the offices specified on Schedule 4.17 and the filings specified

(except (i) in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.3 and (ii) Liens having priority by operation of law) to the extent required by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. 

(b) Upon the execution and delivery of any Mortgage to be executed and delivered pursuant to Section 6.8(b), such Mortgage 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 the mortgaged property described therein and proceeds thereof; and when such Mortgage is filed in the recording
office designated by the Borrowers, such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such mortgaged property and the proceeds thereof, as security for the
Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (other than Liens permitted by Section 7.3 or other encumbrances or rights permitted by the relevant Mortgage).

4.19 Senior Indebtedness. 

All borrowings of Term Loans permitted under this Agreement are, and when incurred or issued will be, permitted under (and shall give rise to
no breach or violation of) the ABL Facility, any Junior Indebtedness and any Permitted Amendment or Refinancing of any of the foregoing (or under the definitive documentation relating thereto). 

4.20 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against Holdings, the Borrowers or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrowers, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of Holdings, the Borrowers

 (h) One or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against Holdings, a

indemnity) of $15,000,000 or more, and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 45 days from the entry thereof; or 

(i) Any of the Security Documents shall cease, for any reason (other than by reason of the express release thereof pursuant to
Section 10.15), to be in full force and effect in any material respect, or any Loan Party shall so assert in writing, or any Lien on any material amount of Collateral created by any of the Security Documents shall cease in any material respect

having more, directly or indirectly, than 35% of the total voting power of all outstanding Capital Stock of Holdings in the election of directors, unless at such time the Permitted Investors are direct or indirect “beneficial owners” (as
so defined) of Capital Stock of Holdings having a greater percentage of the total voting power of all outstanding Capital Stock of Holdings in the election of directors than that owned by each other “person” or “group” described
above; (iii) for any reason whatsoever, a majority of the Board of Directors of Holdings shall not be Continuing Directors; or (iv) a “Change of Control” (or comparable term) shall occur under the ABL Facility, any Junior
Indebtedness or the documentation for any Permitted Amendment or Refinancing of any of the foregoing, in each case (other than the ABL Facility), if the outstanding principal amount thereof is in excess of $15,000,000; or 

(k) Any Junior Indebtedness which is subordinated Indebtedness or any guarantees thereof (or any Permitted Amendment or

the case may be, as provided in the indenture therefor, or any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party; 
 then, and in any such event, (A) if
such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to a Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Term Loans hereunder (with accrued interest

consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Term Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other
amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this Section or otherwise in any Loan Document,
presentment, demand and protest of any kind are hereby expressly waived by Holdings and the Borrowers.

 SECTION 9. 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 9.1
Appointment. 
 (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under
the Loan Documents and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the applicable Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as
are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is
hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and the Security Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any amendment or supplement expressly contemplated thereby and (y) upon the incurrence of any Permitted First Priority Refinancing
Debt or Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, respectively). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as
the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential counterparty to a Specified Hedge Agreement) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as
the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent,” and any agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.2 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the
Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 9
(including Section 9.7) and Section 10.5, as though such agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the applicable Loan Documents by or through
agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected
by it with reasonable care. 
 9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its 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 bad faith, 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 

  
 91 

 
to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligations 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 of any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. 

9.4 Reliance by the 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 Holdings and the Borrowers), 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 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 the applicable 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 the applicable 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 Term Loans. 
 9.5 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, Holdings or the Borrowers 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. 
 9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that
neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 Term Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative 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

  
 92 

 
taking or not taking action under the applicable 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. 

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by
the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective pro rata shares (based on their respective principal amount of Term Loans) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought
under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such pro rata shares immediately prior to such date),
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Term Loans) be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative 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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

9.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits
from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Term Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under the applicable Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity. 
 9.9 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, 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 Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrowers shall have
occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent,
and the retiring 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 the retiring Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or
any holders of the Term Loans. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders with such consent of the Borrowers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative
Agent, that shall be a bank that has an office in New York, New York with a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person
has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on 

  
 93 

 
behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may resign its role as Administrative Agent under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and
Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 2.21 and 10.5 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. 
 (b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent
is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of Lender Default, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers and such Person remove such Person as Administrative
Agent and, in consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the
Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 

9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to
effect any release or subordination of Liens or Guarantee Obligations contemplated by Section 10.15 without further action or consent by the Lenders. 

9.11 Arranger and Other Agents. None of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent shall have any
duties or responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such. 
 9.12 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as
herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans
and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.9, 2.21, 3.3, 3.5 and 10.5) allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and 

  
 94 

 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent
any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.9, 2.21 and 10.5. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding. 

9.13 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any
Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.20, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within ten Business Days after written
demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by
the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate
form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to
such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.13. The agreements in this Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative
Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 

SECTION 10. 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended,
supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the
Administrative Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such
amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive or reduce the principal amount or extend the 

  
 95 

 
final scheduled date of maturity of any Term Loan (except extensions expressly permitted by Section 2.26), extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan,
reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenant in this Agreement or waiver of post-default rates of interest shall not constitute a reduction
in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)), extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the
voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders
(if such consent is otherwise required), 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 extensions of Term Loans are included on the
Closing Date), consent to the assignment or transfer by a Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the
value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (other than in connection with the sale of Guarantors in a transaction permitted by Section 7.4 or 7.5), in each case without the written consent of all Lenders;
(iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of paragraph (a) or (c) of Section 2.18 or paragraph (a) of Section 10.7 without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (except that
amendments to such sections or any other provision requiring pro rata payments or sharing of payments in connection with transactions permitted by Sections 2.25, 2.26, 2.27, 2.28 or 2.29 (or any similar programs that may in the future be permitted
hereunder shall only require approval (to the extent any such approval is otherwise required) of the Required Lenders); (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of paragraph (b) of Section 2.18 without the written consent of the
Lenders adversely affected thereby; (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; (vii) amend the assignment provisions of Section 10.6(b) to make them more
restrictive without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; or (viii) amend Section 2.26 the effect of which is to extend the maturity of any Lender’s Term Loans, New Term Loans or Other Term Loans
without its consent; provided, further that (x) in connection with an amendment that addresses solely a Repricing Transaction, only the consent of the Lenders holding Term Loans subject to such Repricing Transaction that will
continue as a Lender in respect of the repriced tranche of Term Loans or modified Term Loans shall be required for such amendment, (y) no Lender consent is required to effect an amendment in connection with Other Term Loans, New Term Loans,
Extended Term Loans or Extended New Term Loans (except as expressly provided in Sections 2.25, 2.26 or 2.29, as applicable) or to effect any amendment expressly contemplated by Section 7.11, and (z) no Lender consent is required to effect
any amendment or supplement to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (I) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Other Term Loans, New Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or Extended New Term Loans (or a representative with respect thereto) as
parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith
determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing and provided, that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (II) that is expressly contemplated by the ABL
Intercreditor Agreement; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the
Term Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be
deemed to be cured and not continuing unless limited by the terms of such waiver, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent on any such subsequent or other Default or Event
of Default. 

  
 96 

 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments, waivers and consents hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Term Loans or other extensions of credit of such
Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders, all affected Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment, waiver or consent (and the definitions of “Required
Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed
for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such
Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. In addition, to the extent any Defaulting Lender has defaulted on any amounts owing
to the Borrowers hereunder, the Borrowers shall be entitled to offset any amounts the Borrowers owes the Defaulting Lender with such unpaid amounts. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents
executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at
the request of the Borrowers without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Requirements of Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure
ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that any amendment, supplement or waiver of
this Agreement be promptly delivered to the Lenders via posting on Intralinks. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be
amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement (it being understood that no Lender
shall have any obligation to provide or to commit to provide all or any portion of any such additional credit facility) and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any
determination of the Required Lenders. 
 Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days
prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such
amendment.

 provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Holdings or the Borrowers
shall not be effective until received. 
 Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable
Lender, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent, Holdings or the Borrowers may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it;
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 Unless the Administrative Agent
otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested”
function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have
been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for 

  
 99 

 
the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address
as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 

Each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may change its address, telecopier, telephone number or email address for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier, telephone number or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail
address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times
have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures
and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material
non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or its securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. 

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices) purportedly given
by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood
by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each such Person’s Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors of
such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers. All telephonic notices to and other
telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

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

10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in
any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Term Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder. 

10.5 Payment of Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrowers agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead
Arrangers for all their respective reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Term Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation,
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in 

  
 100 

 
connection herewith or therewith and any amendment, supplement or modification thereto, and, as to the Administrative Agent only, the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent (including one primary counsel and such local counsel as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
require in connection with collateral matters, but no more than one counsel in any jurisdiction) in connection with all of the foregoing, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, the Syndication
Agent and the Documentation Agent for all their out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents and in connection with the Term
Loans made under this Agreement, including all such expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Term Loans, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees
and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and the Administrative Agent, and (c) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent and their
respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements arising out of any actions, judgments or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with any claim, action or proceeding relating to or otherwise
with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the
Term Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of Holdings, the Borrowers, any of their Subsidiaries or any of the Properties and the fees and disbursements and other charges
of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against Holdings or the Borrowers hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (c), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided
that neither Holdings nor the Borrowers shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (x) are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from material breach of the Loan Documents or the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, such Indemnitee or its affiliates, officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents or
controlling Persons, (y) result from any dispute solely among any Indemnitees (other than any claim against the Administrative Agent, a Joint Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent in its capacity as such) or
(z) result from any settlement of a claim by an Indemnitee or its affiliates, officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents or controlling Persons without the consent of Holdings and the Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed). All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable promptly after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor. Statements payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to the Borrowers
at the address thereof set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrowers in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive
repayment of the Obligations. 
 10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment
or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void ab initio) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6. 

  
 101 

 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
(other than to any Disqualified Institution or a natural person) 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 Term Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 

(A) the Borrowers; provided that no consent of the Borrowers 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 Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided further; that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have
consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent. 

Any such assignment by any Lender need not be ratable as among the Term Facilities. 

(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 Term Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of (I) the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or (II) if earlier, the “trade date” (if any) specified in such Assignment and Assumption) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be
aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
 (B) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which shall not be payable by the Borrowers); provided that only one such fee shall be payable in
the case of contemporaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds; and 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall
not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire. 
 For the purposes of this Section 10.6,
“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 and that is administered or managed by
(a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) (i) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender or (ii) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that is the investment advisor to a Lender.

  
 102 

 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all
of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender
of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 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 10.6. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain
at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and interest amounts) of the Term Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms
hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement (and the entries in the Register shall be conclusive for such purposes), notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register is intended to cause each Loan and other obligation
hereunder to be in registered form within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. The Register shall be available for
inspection by Holdings, the Borrowers 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 Assumption 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 10.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption 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. 

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any sale or assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(b) to a Sponsor Affiliate shall be made via an
Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, in accordance with this Section 10.6(b) and Section 2.28. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may,
without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to any Disqualified Institution) 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 Term Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) in the case of Participants that comprise the Sponsor or Sponsor Affiliates, such Sponsor or Sponsor Affiliates shall agree to be subject to the requirements
and limitations set forth in Sections 2.28(b), 2.28(d) and 10.6(e), to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not,

  
 103 

 
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to the
proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, the Borrowers agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Sections 2.23 and 2.24) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section 10.6. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, a Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.20(d), (e) and (f) and be subject to the definition of Excluded Taxes, in each case, as though it were a Lender. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender
shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding or is required by the Borrower’s Tax return preparer or auditor to establish that such
commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary. 
 (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, 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 10.6 shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for
such Lender as a party hereto. The Borrowers, 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 this paragraph (d). 

(e) Each Sponsor Affiliate, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby agrees, and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall
provide a confirmation, that, if any Loan Party shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any Debtor Relief Law now or hereafter in effect (“Bankruptcy Proceedings”), (A) such Sponsor Affiliate
shall not take any step or action in such Bankruptcy Proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking of any action by the Administrative Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party that is supported by the
Administrative Agent) in relation to such Sponsor Affiliate’s claim with respect to its Term Loans (a “Claim”) (including, without limitation, objecting to any debtor in possession financing, use of cash collateral, grant of
adequate protection, sale or disposition, compromise, or plan of reorganization) so long as such Sponsor Affiliate is treated in connection with such exercise or action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders and (B) with respect to
any matter requiring the vote of the Lenders during the pendency of a Bankruptcy Proceeding (including, without limitation, voting on any plan of reorganization), the Term Loans held by such Sponsor Affiliate (and any Claim with respect

  
 104 

 
thereto) shall be deemed to be voted by such Sponsor Affiliate in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Sponsor Affiliates, so long as
such Sponsor Affiliate is treated in connection with the exercise of such right or taking of such action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders and each Sponsor Affiliate agree and acknowledge that
the provisions set forth in this Section 10.06(e) constitute a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and utilized in, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, would be enforceable for all purposes
in any case where a Loan Party has filed for protection under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect applicable to such Loan Party. Except as expressly provided in this
Section 10.06(e), the provisions of this Section 10.6(e) shall not be applicable to any Sponsor Affiliate. 
 (f) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to determine the compliance with the provisions of Sections 10.6(b)(vi) and 10.6(c)(i)(D) with respect to any assignment to a Sponsor or Sponsor Affiliate (including, without
limitation, compliance with the Cap or monitoring the identity of any Sponsor or Sponsor Affiliate) or otherwise monitor the assignments of Loans to the Sponsor or Sponsor Affiliates and shall not be responsible or liable in any way for any
assignment made in violation thereof. 
 10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. 

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders (including without
limitation (i) the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to non-defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, (ii) the express provisions of this Agreement which permit
disproportionate payments with respect to various of the Tranches as, and to the extent, provided herein, and (iii) the express provisions of Sections 2.25, 2.26, 2.27, 2.28 or 2.29, which permit disproportionate payments with respect to the
Loans as, and to the extent, provided therein), if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it other than in connection with Section 10.6, or receive
any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral
received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or
shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest. 
 (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without
prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrowers hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) after the expiration of any cure or grace periods, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts, employee benefit
accounts, fiduciary or trust purposes, payroll and withholding accounts and the like), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and
application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

  
 105 

 10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or Lender Addendum by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. 

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire
agreement of Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 

10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of Holdings and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 

(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New
York, and appellate courts from any thereof; provided that nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction; 

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

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or
shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 

  
 106 

 (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to
claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; provided that this clause (e) shall not limit the indemnity obligations set forth in Sections 9.7
or 10.5. 
 10.13 Acknowledgments. Each of Holdings and the Borrowers hereby acknowledges that: 

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

 (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to either of Holdings or
the Borrowers arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and Holdings and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection
herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other
Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among Holdings, the Borrowers and the Lenders. 

10.14 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to treat any and all information, regardless of the medium or
form of communication, that is disclosed, provided or furnished, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its affiliates, whether in writing, orally, by observation or otherwise and whether furnished before or after the Closing
Date (“Confidential Information”), strictly confidential and not to use Confidential Information for any purpose other than negotiating, making available, syndicating and administering this Agreement (the “Agreed
Purposes”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees not to disclose Confidential
Information, at any time, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, to any other Person whomsoever, except (1) to its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, trustees and other representatives (collectively, the
“Representatives”), to the extent necessary to permit such Representatives to assist in connection with the Agreed Purposes, (2) to prospective Lenders and participants in connection with the syndication (including secondary
trading) of the Term Facilities and Commitments and Term Loans hereunder, in each case who are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to observe and be bound by standard confidentiality terms, (3) upon the request or
demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (4) in response to any order of any Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (5) to the extent reasonably required or
necessary, in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding relating to the Term Facilities, (6) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section 10.14, (7) to the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or (8) to the
extent reasonably required or necessary, in connection with the exercise of any remedy under the Loan Documents. 
 10.15 Release of
Collateral and Guarantee Obligations; Subordination of Liens. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any
other Loan Document, (i) upon request of the Borrowers (A) in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, (B) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the
Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 10.1), (C) with respect to 

  
 107 

 
Property owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor upon release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement pursuant to clause (ii) below or
(D) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents or the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a
party to any Specified Hedge Agreement or contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral and (ii) upon the request of the Borrowers in connection
with (A) a transaction or designation permitted hereunder that causes any Subsidiary Guarantor to become an Excluded Subsidiary, or (B) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders
hereunder, to the extent required by Section 10.1), the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement or contingent or
indemnification obligations not then due) take such actions as shall be required to release such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any
Loan Document relating to any such Property or Person so released (other than Property Disposed of to the Borrowers or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) shall no longer be deemed to be repeated once such Property is so Disposed of. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than
(x) obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement and (y) any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired, upon request of the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all
Collateral, and to release all Guarantee Obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements or contingent or indemnification obligations not
then due. Any such release of Guarantee Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Guarantee Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall
be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrowers or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator
of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrowers or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrowers in connection with
any Liens permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to subordinate the Lien on any Collateral to any Lien permitted under
Section 7.3. 
 10.16 Accounting Changes. In the event that any Accounting Change (as defined below) shall occur and such change
results in a change in the method of calculation of the financial covenant, standards or terms in this Agreement, then Holdings and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as
to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating Holdings’ financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made. Until such time
as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by Holdings, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, the financial covenant and all standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such
Accounting Changes had not occurred. “Accounting Changes” refers to changes in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC. 

  
 108 

 Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, any lease that is treated as an operating
lease for purposes of GAAP as of the date hereof shall not be treated as Indebtedness and shall continue to be treated as an operating lease (and any future lease, if it were in effect on the date hereof, that would be treated as an operating lease
for purposes of GAAP as of the date hereof shall be treated as an operating lease), in each case for purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any change in GAAP after the date hereof. 

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used here shall be construed, and all
computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141R or ASC 805 (or any other financial accounting standard having a similar result or effect). 

10.17 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF HOLDINGS, THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. 

10.18 USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III
of Publ. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Act. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that
the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. 

10.19 Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each Lender (other than any Lender whose name appears on the signature pages to this Agreement) shall
become a party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender. 
 10.20 The
Platform. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (i) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower
Materials”) by posting the Borrowers Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do
not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to
such Persons’ securities. The Borrowers hereby agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (1) all such Borrower
Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (2) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,”
the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the
Borrowers or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws; (3) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public
Side Information”; and (4) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side
Information.” 

  
 109 

 THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS
DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED
OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR
THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent
Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrowers’ or the Administrative
Agent’s transmission of materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any
liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 

10.21 ABL Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereunder (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates): (a) consents to the
subordination of Liens provided for in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, (b) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and (c) authorizes and instructs the
Administrative Agent to enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement as the Term Agent (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) on behalf of such Lender. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the ABL Secured Parties (as
defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) to enter into the arrangements contemplated by the ABL Collateral Documents (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) and the ABL Secured Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of such
provisions and the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to “first priority lien” or words of similar effect in describing the security interests created under the Loan Documents shall be understood
to refer to such priority subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any other Loan Document) and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall
govern and control. 
 10.22 Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Borrower
shall be jointly and severally, directly and unconditionally, liable for all Obligations, it being understood that the Loans to each Borrower inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on the
joint and several liability of the Borrowers as co-makers in extending the Loans hereunder. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of any principal of, or interest on, any Obligation, it will forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand, unless such payment is then prohibited by applicable law. No payment or payments made by any Borrower or any other Person or
received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower or any Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the
Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of each Borrower under this Agreement for the remaining Obligations, which shall remain liable for all remaining and thereafter arising Obligations until the
Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due).

 Exhibit 10.6 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
[            ] between Vince Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [            ]
(“Indemnitee”). 
 WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors or
officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of
the corporation; 
 WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting
and retaining such persons; 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the
increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in
the future; 
 WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to
advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) and any resolutions
adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to
serve in such capacity; Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified as herein provided; and 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Sun Capital Partners, Inc.
(“Sun Capital”) or affiliates of Sun Capital which Indemnitee and Sun Capital intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee and advance expenses as provided herein, with the Company’s
acknowledgement and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve on the Board. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as a director or officer from and after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Indemnity of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law,
as such may be amended from time to time. In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof: 

(a) Proceedings other than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of
indemnification provided in this Section l(a) if, by reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), Indemnitee is, or is 

 
threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(a),
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by his, or on his behalf, in connection with such Proceeding or any claim,
issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 
 (b) Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the
rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if, by reason of his Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to
this Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall determine that such indemnification may be made. 

(c) Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to
time, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by his or on his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all
claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by his or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of
this Section 1(c) and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 

2. Additional Indemnity. In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in
Section 1 of this Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by his or on his
behalf if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company), including, without limitation, all liability arising out of the
negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Indemnitee. The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is
finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to be unlawful. 

  
 2 

 3. Contribution. 

(a) Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending
or completed Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such Proceeding without
requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Company shall not, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, enter into any
such settlement of any Proceeding (in whole or in part) unless such settlement (i) provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee and (ii) does not impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation
on Indemnitee. 
 (b) Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any
reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
Proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company
and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which
such Proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all
officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted
in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which the law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than
Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were
motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive. 

(c) The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by
officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee. 
 (d) To the fullest
extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount

  
 3 

 
incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an
indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a
result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding, and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or
transaction(s). 
 4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent
that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness, or is made (or asked to) respond to discovery requests, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by his or on his behalf in connection therewith. 
 5. Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement
or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall
include or be preceded or accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advances
and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free. 
 6. Procedures and Presumptions
for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(“DGCL”) and public policy of the State of Delaware. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement: 
 (a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request,
including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company
shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to
provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the interests of the Company. 

(b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) hereof, a determination
with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four methods, which shall be at the election of the Board: (1) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors

  
 4 

 
(as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum, (2) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a
quorum, (3) if there are no Disinterested Directors, or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (4) if so directed by the
Board, by the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that if a Change in Control has occurred, the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made by Independent Counsel. For
purposes hereof, Disinterested Directors are those members of the Board who are not parties to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee. 

(c) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be
selected as provided in this Section 6(c). If a Change in Control has not occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board (including a vote of a majority of the Disinterested Directors if obtainable), and the Company
shall give written notice to the Indemnitee advising his of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. Indemnitee may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection
to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in
Section 13 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the Person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection
is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If a Change in Control has occurred, the
Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee (unless the Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and approved by the Board (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld). If (i) an Independent Counsel is to make the determination of entitlement pursuant to this Section 6, and (ii) within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification
pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent jurisdiction
for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a Person selected by the court or by such other Person as the court
shall designate, and the Person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the Person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of
Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c),
regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. 
 (d) In making a determination with respect to
entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Person making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the
burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or independent legal 

  
 5 

 
counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the
applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
 (e) Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith
if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise (as hereinafter defined), including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their
duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the
Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. 

(f) If the Person empowered or selected under this Section 6 to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall
not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such
indemnification absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or
(ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the Person making such
determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of
this Section 6(f) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt
by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board or the Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within
seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such
meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat. 
 (g)
Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Person making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such Person upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not
privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to 

  
 6 

 
Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any Independent Counsel, member of the Board or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a
determination regarding Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Person making such
determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 

(h) The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid
expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such
action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the
burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. 
 (i) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim,
issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to
indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee
had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 
 7. Remedies of Indemnitee. 

(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification is made pursuant to
Section 6(b) of this Agreement within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) days after
receipt by the Company of a written request therefor or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to
have been made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement
to such indemnification, contribution or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Delaware law (without regard to its conflict-of-law rules) shall apply to any such arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication
or award in arbitration. 

  
 7 

 (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b)
of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial Proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall
not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 6(b). In any judicial Proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement
and the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be, and the Company may not refer to or introduce into evidence any determination pursuant to
Section 6(b) of this Agreement adverse to Indemnitee for any purpose. If Indemnitee commences a judicial Proceeding pursuant to this Section 7, Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances
pursuant to Section 5 until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed). 

(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial Proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact
necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. 

(d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial adjudication of his rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on his behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described
in the definition of Expenses in Section 13 of this Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred by his in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification,
advancement of expenses or insurance recovery. 
 (e) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial Proceeding commenced
pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company
shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to
Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement
shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.

 8. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Primacy of Indemnification;
Subrogation. 
 (a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation of the Company (the “Charter”), the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders, a
resolution of directors or otherwise, of the Company. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by
such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the DGCL, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the
Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 
 (b) The Company shall
obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which the Company is obligated to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement, one or more policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies to provide the directors and officers of the
Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts and omissions and to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or
their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such officer or director under such policy or policies. In all such insurance policies, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee with the
same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors and officers. At the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall give prompt notice of the
commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all
amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. 
 (c) The Company hereby acknowledges that
Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Sun Capital and certain affiliates that, directly or indirectly, (i) are controlled by, (ii) control or (iii) are under common
control with, Sun Capital (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund
Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be
liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Charter or Bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement
between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund
Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in 

  
 9 

 
respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought
indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the
Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8(c). 

(d) Except as provided in Section 8(c) above, in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated
to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee (other than against the Fund Indemnitors), who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents
as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
 (e) Except as provided in Section 8(c) above,
the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement
or otherwise. 
 (f) Except as provided in Section 8(c) above, the Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses
hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any
amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. 

9. Exception to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under
this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee: 
 (a) for which payment has actually been made
to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; provided, that the foregoing shall not affect
the rights of Indemnitee or the Fund Indemnitors set forth in Section 8(c) above; or 
 (b) for an accounting of profits made
from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (as hereinafter defined), or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or 

(c) for reimbursement to the Company of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by
Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company in each case as required under the Exchange Act; or 

  
 10 

 (d) in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee,
including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Company has joined in or the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any
part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, or (iii) the Proceeding is one to enforce
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. 
 10. Non–Disclosure of Payments. Except as expressly required by the securities
laws of the United States of America, neither party shall disclose any payments under this Agreement unless prior approval of the other party is obtained. If any payment information must be disclosed, the Company shall afford the Indemnitee an
opportunity to review all such disclosures and, if requested, to explain in such statement any mitigating circumstances regarding the events to be reported. 

11. Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue upon the later of (i) ten
(10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or a director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee served at the request of the Company, and (ii) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto) in respect of
which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement relating thereto (including any rights of appeal of any
Section 7 Proceeding. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. 

12. Security. To the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to time
provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral; provided, that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any such security, once
provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of Indemnitee. 
 13. Definitions. For
purposes of this Agreement: 
 (a) “Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act; provided, however, that Beneficial Owner shall exclude any Person otherwise becoming a Beneficial Owner by reason of the stockholders of the Company approving a merger of the Company with another entity. 

(b) “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur upon the earliest to occur after the date of this Agreement of any of the
following events:

substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined above), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; 
 (ii) Change

election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so
approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; 
 (iii) Corporate
Transactions. The effective date of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation and with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such surviving entity; and 

(iv) Liquidation. The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation of the Company or an

Indemnitees in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances; provided, however, that if any Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded (based on
the advice of counsel) that its representation by counsel for the Indemnitees creates a conflict of interest for such counsel, the Company shall be liable for the fees and expenses of a separate counsel for such Indemnitee. Expenses also shall
include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, including
without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersede as bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of
judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any Person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an
action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and
damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Person shall exclude (i) the Company, (ii) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, and (iii) any corporation owned,
directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company. 

(j) “Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution
mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which
Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer or director of the Company, by reason of any action taken by his or of any inaction on his part while acting as an officer or
director of the Company, or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; in each
case whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement; including one pending on or before the date of this Agreement, but
excluding one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement to enforce his rights under this Agreement. 

14. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or
provisions shall be deemed reformed to the fullest extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed
so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee indemnification rights to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. 

15. Enforcement and Binding Effect. 

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in
order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director, officer or key employee of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director, officer or key employee of the Company. 

  
 14 

 (b) Without limiting any of the rights of Indemnitee under the Charter or Bylaws of the Company
as they may be amended from time to time, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 (c) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other Enterprise at the Company’s request, and shall inure to
the benefit of Indemnitee and his spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives. 
 (d)
The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and
agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

(e) The Company and Indemnitee agree herein that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate,
impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance
hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which he may be entitled.
The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of
posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by the court, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond
or undertaking. 
 16. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be
binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver
constitute a continuing waiver. 
 17. Notice By Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being
served with or otherwise receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.
