The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement (including this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), instrument or other document herein (or in any other Loan Document) shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or extended, replaced or refinanced (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications, extensions, replacements or other refinancings set forth therein or herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s permitted successors and assigns (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to any restrictions on assignment set forth herein) and, in the case of any Governmental Authority, any other Governmental Authority that shall have succeeded to any or all functions thereof, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein or in any other Loan Document to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement or such other Loan Document, (e) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights, (f) references to any matter being “permitted” under this Agreement or in any Loan Document shall include references to such matters not being prohibited or otherwise being approved under this Agreement or such Loan Document, (g) unless otherwise specified herein, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable), (h) unless the contrary intention appears, any reference to adverse Tax, regulatory or similar consequences shall be construed to mean such consequences to Holdings or its Subsidiaries or any Parent Entities, Affiliates or direct or indirect equity owners thereof, (i) “ordinary course of business” or “ordinary course” shall, with respect to any Person, be deemed to refer to items or actions that are consistent with industry practice or norms of such Person’s industry or such Person’s past practice (it being understood that the sale of accounts receivable (and related assets) pursuant to supply-chain, factoring or reverse factoring arrangements entered into by the Borrower and the other Group Members shall be deemed to be in the ordinary course of business so long as such accounts receivable (and related assets) are sold for cash in an

103

SECTION 1.04 Accounting Terms; GAAP.

(a) All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein and without giving effect to (i) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification, International Accounting Standard or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (ii) the application of Accounting Standards Codification 480, 815, 805 and 718 (to the extent these pronouncements under Accounting Standards Codification 718 result in recording an equity award as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and the other Group Members in the circumstance where, but for the application of the pronouncements, such award would have been classified as equity).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to Section 1.09, for purposes of determining compliance with any test contained in this Agreement and/or the amount of any required prepayment of Excess Cash Flow (but not the calculation of “Excess Cash Flow” (or any component thereof, including the calculation of “Consolidated Net Income” for purposes thereof)), the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio and any other financial ratio or test that are calculated with respect to any Test Period during which a Specified Transaction occurs shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, irrespective of whether the applicable provision of this Agreement expressly requires such calculation on a Pro Forma Basis. Further, if since the beginning of any such Test Period and on or prior to the date of any required calculation of any financial ratio or test (x) any Specified Transaction has occurred or (y) any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Joint Venture since the beginning of such Test Period has consummated any Specified Transaction, then, in each case, any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for such Test Period as if such Specified Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that solely for purposes of (x) calculating compliance with Section 6.10 as at the end of any fiscal period, if applicable and (y) calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definition of “Applicable Rate” and the determination of the Applicable Facility Fee, in each case, the date of the required calculation shall be the last day of the Test Period, and no Specified Transaction occurring thereafter shall be taken into account).

(c) Where reference is made to “Holdings and the Group Members on a ‘consolidated basis’” or similar language, such consolidation shall not include any Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Holdings.

(d) In the event that there is any change in U.S. GAAP or IFRS (as applicable) or in the application thereof or any adoption or modification of accounting policies (including (x) if the Borrower elects or is required to change the accounting method in which it will prepare its financial statements and (y) the impact of Accounting Standards Update 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic

104

606) or similar revenue recognition policies or any change in the methodology of calculating reserves for returns, rebates and other chargebacks) that results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms (collectively, the “Accounting Changes”) in this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into good faith negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement (including the levels applicable herein to any computation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio and any other financial ratio or test) so as to reflect equitably the Accounting Changes (without the payment of any amendment or similar fee to the Lenders), with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating Holdings’ financial condition shall be substantially the same after such change as if such change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed in accordance with the previous accounting method (as determined in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (it being agreed that, if relevant, the reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and IFRS (as applicable) used in such determination shall be made available to Lenders)) as if such change had not occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, solely making an election pursuant to this clause (d) for a change from U.S. GAAP to IFRS (or IFRS to U.S. GAAP) (without any other action) will not (1) be treated as an incurrence of Indebtedness or (2) have the effect of rendering invalid any Restricted Payment or Investment, the incurrence of any Indebtedness or Liens, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary made prior to the date of such election conditioned on Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries having been able to satisfy any Total Net Leverage Ratio, First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio or any other financial ratio or test or action that was previously valid under this Agreement on the date made, incurred or taken and prior to such election, as the case may be.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph (a) or (d) above or in the definition of “Capitalized Lease,” unless the Borrower elects otherwise, all obligations of any Person that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on February 25, 2016 of an Accounting Standards Update (the “ASU”) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of all financial definitions (including the definition of Indebtedness), calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU or otherwise (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as or to be recharacterized as capital lease obligations or otherwise accounted for as liabilities in financial statements.

SECTION 1.05 Effectuation of Transactions. All references herein to Holdings, the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be references to such Persons, and all the representations and warranties of each of Holdings, the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed made, in each case, after giving effect to the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date, unless the context otherwise requires.

SECTION 1.06 Currency Translation; Rates. On each Exchange Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent or applicable Issuing Bank shall (i) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Exchange Rate Determination Date and (ii) give notice thereof to (A) the Borrower and (B) each Lender and/or Issuing Bank that shall have requested such information. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Rate Determination Date (each, a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than any provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rate employed in converting amounts between Dollars, on the one hand, and Alternative Currencies or Approved Foreign Currencies, on the other hand.

105

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of any determination under Article V, Article VI, Article VII or Article VIII or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement subject to any Dollar limitation, threshold or basket, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the Exchange Rate (rounded to the nearest currency unit, with 0.5 or more of a currency unit being rounded upward) at the applicable time determined in accordance with Section 1.09(a); provided, however, that for purposes of determining compliance with Article VI with respect to any amount in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness, Lien or Investment is incurred or Disposition, Restricted Payment or Restricted Debt Payment made or such transaction with an Affiliate is entered into; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.06 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness, Lien or Investment may be incurred or Disposition, Restricted Payment or Restricted Debt Payment made or such transaction with an Affiliate may be entered into at any time under such Sections. For purposes of any determination of Consolidated Total Debt or Consolidated Total Net Debt, amounts in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the most recently delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) adjusted to reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Swap Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Equivalent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the Borrower would not be in compliance with Section 6.10 if any Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars were to be translated into Dollars on the preceding basis, but would be in compliance with Section 6.10 if such Indebtedness that is denominated in a currency other than in Dollars were instead translated into Dollars on the basis of the average relevant currency exchange rates over such Test Period (adjusted to reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Swap Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Equivalent), then, solely for purposes of compliance with Section 6.10, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Test Period shall be calculated on the basis of such average relevant currency exchange rates. Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, if any Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interest or Lien is incurred in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, and any refinancing or replacement thereof would cause the percentage of Consolidated EBITDA to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated EBITDA on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such percentage of Consolidated EBITDA will be deemed not to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness or other obligation does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness or other obligation being refinanced or replaced, except by an amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest, penalties and premiums (including tender, prepayment or repayment premiums) thereon plus underwriting discounts and other customary fees, commissions and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payment) incurred in connection with such refinancing or replacement, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01.

SECTION 1.07 Timing of Payment of Performance. When payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or

106

performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

SECTION 1.08 Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with Incremental Term Loans, Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increases, replacement Term Loans, Loans in connection with any replacement RC Facility, extended Term Loans, extended RC Facility Loans or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in cash” or any other similar requirement.

SECTION 1.09 Certain Calculations and Tests.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision in this Agreement or any Loan Document that requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, Total Net Leverage Ratio test, any Interest Coverage Ratio test, and/or any other financial ratio or test), (ii) determining compliance with representations and warranties or the requirement regarding the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) or (iii) testing any cap measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or any other financial metric or by reference to the Available Amount, or any other availability of a “basket” or exception set forth in this Agreement, in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination, at the election of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), will be deemed to be (1) in the case of any acquisition or other Investment, Disposition, incurrence of Indebtedness or any transaction related to the foregoing, in each case not prohibited hereunder, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive acquisition agreements or other binding contracts or agreements, or the establishment of a commitment, as applicable, with respect to such acquisition, Investment, Disposition, Indebtedness or related transaction (or, solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 Announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer or similar announcement or determination in another jurisdiction subject to laws similar to the City Code in respect of such target company made in compliance with the City Code or similar laws or practices in other jurisdictions (a “Public Offer”)) or (y) the consummation of such acquisition, Investment, Disposition, incurrence of Indebtedness or related transaction, (2) in the case of any Restricted Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Restricted Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Payment and (3) in the case of any Restricted Debt Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable (which may be conditional) notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt Payment (the applicable date pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above, as applicable, the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after such ratios and other provisions are measured on a Pro Forma Basis (disregarding for the purposes of such pro forma calculation any Borrowing under the RC Facility or any other revolving facility) after giving effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) and, at the election of the Borrower, any other acquisition or similar Investment, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment or Disposition that has not been consummated but with respect to which the Borrower has elected to test any applicable condition prior to the date of consummation in accordance with this Section 1.09(a), as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recently completed Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test

107

Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratios, representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default or “basket”, such ratio, representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default or “basket” shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and (x) any of the ratios or “baskets” for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded (or, with respect to the Interest Coverage Ratio, not reached) as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or “basket” (including due to fluctuations of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such “baskets” or ratios and other provisions will be deemed not to have been exceeded (or, with respect to the Interest Coverage Ratio, not reached) as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Borrower or any other Group Member may rely upon any improvement in any such ratio or “basket” availability) and (y) in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or “basket” availability on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement or Public Offer for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or “basket” availability shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof (but without netting the cash proceeds thereof)) had been consummated. The provisions of this Section 1.09(a) shall, for the avoidance of doubt, apply in respect of the incurrence of any Incremental Facility. For the avoidance of doubt, the making of an LCT Election shall not require notice to the Administrative Agent or any other Person. For the further avoidance of doubt, in the absence of an LCT Election, unless specifically stated in this Agreement to be otherwise, all determinations of (x) compliance with any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test, any Interest Coverage Ratio test, and/or any other financial ratio or test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or any other financial metric, (y) the accuracy of any representation and warranties, or any requirement regarding the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) or (z) any availability test under any “baskets” shall, in each case, be made as of the applicable date of the consummation of the Specified Transaction or the time the applicable action is taken, change is made, transaction is consummated or event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall occur solely as a result of a change in any such financial ratio or test, cap, financial metric, or “basket” availability occurring after such time

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently (or as part of a series of related transactions) with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.10, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that (i) the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof and any concurrent borrowing under a revolving facility, including a Borrowing consisting of RC Facility Loans or any other revolving facility) shall be disregarded, and the incurrence of the Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated, first without giving effect to any Fixed Amount, but giving full pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of such Fixed Amount and (ii) the incurrence of the Fixed Amount shall be calculated thereafter.

108

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of the covenants described in Article VI, if any transaction or action would be permitted pursuant to one or more provisions described therein, the Borrower may divide and classify such transaction or action within any covenant in any manner that complies with the covenants set forth therein, and may later divide and reclassify any such transaction or action so long as the transaction or action (as so divided and/or reclassified) would be permitted to be made in reliance on the applicable exception as of the date of such reclassification; provided that if any financial ratio or test governing any applicable Incurrence-Based Amount would be satisfied in any subsequent period following the utilization of any Fixed Amount, such reclassification shall be deemed to have automatically occurred if not elected by the Borrower.

SECTION 1.10 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up for five).

SECTION 1.11 Additional Currencies.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time request that RC Facility Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than Dollars or Approved Foreign Currencies; provided that such currency is a lawful currency that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to (i) the making of RC Facility Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and all of the RC Facility Lenders and (ii) the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Any such request pursuant to clause (a) above shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, ten Business Days prior to the date of the desired Borrowing or issuance of Letters of Credit (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, each applicable Issuing Bank, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to (i) RC Facility Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each RC Facility Lender thereof and (ii) Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Issuing Bank thereof. Each RC Facility Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to RC Facility Loans) or the applicable Issuing Bank (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of RC Facility Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c) Any failure by any RC Facility Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond to such request pursuant to clause (a) above within the time period specified in the preceding sentence of clause (b) above shall be deemed to be a refusal by such RC Facility Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit RC Facility Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued, as applicable, in such requested currency. If (i) the Administrative Agent and all of the RC Facility Lenders consent to making RC Facility Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower in writing and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder solely for purposes of any Borrowings of RC Facility Loans and (ii) the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Bank consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower in writing and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder solely for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by such Issuing Bank. In either case, the Borrower and (x) the Administrative Agent and the RC

109

Facility Lenders (in the case of a request pertaining to RC Facility Loans) or (y) the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Bank (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall be permitted, but not required, to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as necessary to accommodate such RC Facility Loans or Letters of Credit. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.11, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower in writing.

SECTION 1.12 Certain Letter of Credit Determinations.

(a) For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Rule 3.13 or Rule 3.14 of the International Standby Practices (ISP98), such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn.

(b) Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount (or “face” amount) of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall, except for purposes of Section 2.12(b), be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

SECTION 1.13 Release from Restrictions. Any party hereto authorizing any other Person or granting to any other Person a power of attorney releases such other Person from any restrictions of multiple representation or self-dealing under any applicable Requirements of Law, including but not limited to restrictions pursuant to §181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch).

SECTION 1.14 Guarantees and Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of any determination relating to the ABL Priority Collateral as to which the Administrative Agent is granted discretion hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have agreed and accepted any determination in respect thereof by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to the ABL Facility, or any similar agent or trustee with respect to the ABL Facility (including in respect of any substitutions, replacements, extensions, renewals, restatements, or refinancings of the ABL Facility), as applicable.

SECTION 1.15 Additional Borrowers. The Borrower may cause any Group Member constituting a wholly-owned subsidiary formed under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof, the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany or the laws of any other jurisdiction reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each applicable RC Facility Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, but which approval may include expanding the definition of “Sanctions Authority” with respect to the RC Facility to include primary sanctions authorities in the jurisdiction of organization of such additional Borrower) after the Closing Date by written election to the Administrative Agent to become an RC Facility Borrower hereunder; provided that such Group Member shall (i) execute a joinder to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent assuming all obligations of a Borrower hereunder, (ii) to the extent not previously satisfied with respect to it, take (or cause to be taken) all actions (if any) required to be taken with respect to such Group Member in order to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement with respect to such Group Member, the assets of such Group Member and with respect to any Equity Interest in or Indebtedness of such Group Member owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party, (iii) deliver to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions and secretary’s certificates as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in

SECTION 1.17 Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification.

(a) The interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans may be determined by reference to the US LIBOR Screen Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In certain circumstances, Section 1.18 of this Agreement provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest for Dollar denominated Loans. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 1.18, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “US LIBOR Screen Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.18, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the US LIBOR Screen Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability (excluding, in each case, in the event of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment)). The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto, except as expressly provided herein.

(b) The interest rate on an RC Facility Loan and a 2023 Term Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to RC Facility Loans and/or 2023 Term Loans, Section 1.18 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced

112

or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

SECTION 1.18 Benchmark Replacement.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Solely to the extent set forth in clause (g) below with respect to Term Loans denominated in Dollars and RC Facility Loans denominated in an Agreed Currency, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or, solely with respect to Initial Term Loans denominated in Dollars, an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (i) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (x)(a),(x)(b) or (y)(a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings (solely with respect to the Term Loans denominated in Dollars, or the RC Facility, as the case may be) without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (x)(c) or (y)(b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting (solely with respect to the Term Loans denominated in Dollars, or the RC Facility, as the case may be) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date on which notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Term Lenders (in the case of the Term Loans denominated in Dollars) or the RC Facility Lenders (in the case of the RC Facility) without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Term Lenders comprising a Majority in Interest of the Term Lenders of each Class (in the case of the Term Loans denominated in Dollars) or a Majority in Interest of the RC Facility Lenders (in the case of the RC Facility).

(b) Term SOFR Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if, with respect to Term Loans denominated in Dollars, a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings (solely with respect to the Term Loans denominated in Dollars), without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that this clause (b) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders of the affected Class and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

113

(c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement to which this Section applies, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the affected Class of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent and/or the Borrower, as applicable, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.18.

(e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the US LIBOR Screen Rate or Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period.

(x) With respect to the Initial Term Loans, upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans. With respect to the Initial Term Loans, during any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

(y) With respect to the RC Facility Loans and/or the 2023 Term Loans, upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for an affected Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of (if applicable) Loans of the affected Type, as applicable, to be made, converted or continued during

114

any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the affected Loans may be treated, at the Borrower’s election, in the manner set forth in Section 2.14(a). With respect to the RC Facility Loans and/or the 2023 Term Loans, during any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 1.18 shall apply only to Term Loans denominated in Dollars and RC Facility Loans and shall be construed to apply independently to such Classes, where applicable.

SECTION 2.04 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.22), each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreement of the Borrower and the RC Facility Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04 and elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, Approved Letter of Credit Foreign Currencies or such Alternative Currencies to which the relevant Issuing Bank may agree in accordance with Section 1.11 for the account of the Borrower (or for the account of any Group Member so long as the Borrower and such Group Member are co-applicants in respect of such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, which shall reflect the standard operating procedures of such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Availability Period.

If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended (other than an amendment in respect of a then outstanding Letter of Credit that does not increase the available amount thereof) or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment (other than an amendment in respect of a then outstanding Letter of Credit that does not increase the available amount thereof) or extension of any Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment (other than an amendment in respect of a then outstanding Letter of Credit that does not increase the available amount thereof) or extension, (A) the aggregate RC Facility Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate RC Facility Commitments, (B) the aggregate RC Facility Exposure of any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s RC Facility Commitment, (C) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit and (D) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s pro rata share (based upon its RC Facility Commitments) of the LC Sublimit (unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank and including as set forth on Schedule 2.01(b)).

(c) Notice. Each Issuing Bank agrees that in the event of any issuance, amendment (other than an amendment in respect of a then outstanding Letter of Credit that does not increase the available amount thereof) or extension of a Letter of Credit, it shall provide to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof as required under clause (m) of this Section 2.04.

(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date specified therein; provided that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit if the expiration date of such Letter of Credit extends beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to any Latest Maturity Date applicable to the RC Facility Commitments of any Class unless (i) the aggregate amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after any earlier arising Latest Maturity Date does not exceed the aggregate amount of the RC Facility Commitments then in effect that are scheduled to remain in effect until any applicable later arising Latest Maturity Date, (ii) all RC Facility Lenders and such Issuing Bank have consented to such later maturity or (iii) the Borrower shall have caused such Letter of Credit to be (x) backstopped by a “back to back” letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or (y) Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.04(j), in each case, on or before the latest arising applicable Latest Maturity Date. No Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit if the expiration date of such Letter of Credit extends beyond one year after the date of such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal unless such Issuing Bank otherwise agrees; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one or two years in duration (pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank).

(e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the available amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each RC Facility Lender, and each RC Facility Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such RC Facility Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each RC Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such RC Facility Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower on the date due as provided in clause (f) of this Section 2.04 in the currency of such LC Disbursement, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason; provided that if such LC Disbursement is denominated in an Approved Letter of Credit Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency (other than Euros), each RC Facility Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such LC Disbursement shall be paid in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof. Each RC Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and

119

shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction or termination of the RC Facility Commitments or the occurrence of the Termination Date, and that each such payment required to be made by it under the preceding sentence shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the currency thereof not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, two Business Days after the Borrower receives written notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, request that such payment be financed with an RC Facility Borrowing or Swingline Loan in Dollars (or in Euros, as applicable, for Euro-denominated Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (unless in Euros and to be reimbursed as such) of such payment and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting RC Facility Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each RC Facility Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such RC Facility Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each RC Facility Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the applicable currency and in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the RC Facility Lenders pursuant to this clause (f)), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the RC Facility Lenders; provided that if such LC Disbursement is denominated in an Approved Letter of Credit Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency (other than Euros), such payment shall be made in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent thereof). Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that RC Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this clause (f) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such RC Facility Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a RC Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in clause (f) of this Section 2.04 is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.04, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing

120

Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.

(h) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, within the period stipulated by the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. After such examination, each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the RC Facility Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with clause (f) of this Section 2.04.

(i) Commercial Letters of Credit; Bankers’ Acceptances; Bank Guarantees. No Issuing Bank (or any Affiliate or branch thereof) shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit other than a standby letter of credit, without such Issuing Bank’s consent; provided that in the event that any Issuing Bank does not consent to issue bank guarantees, bankers’ acceptances and/or trade letters of credit, such Issuing Bank will, at the Borrower’s request and expense and subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 2.04, use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into backstop arrangements with one or more other banks reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower whereby such non-consenting Issuing Bank shall issue a standby Letter of Credit, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to backstop the applicable bank guarantee, bankers’ acceptance and/or trade letter of credit (as applicable) issued by such other bank or banks, as applicable.

(j) Cash Collateralization. Effective immediately, without demand or other notice of any kind, if any Specified Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the RC Facility Loans have been declared due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof, then on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, a Majority in Interest of RC Facility Lenders) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an interest-bearing account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the RC Facility Lenders and applicable Issuing Banks, Cash Collateral with respect to the LC Exposure, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Borrower also shall deposit Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the RC Facility. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, if any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), then promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the RC Facility Lenders and the Issuing Banks) shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed by the Borrower when such reimbursement by the Borrower is required hereunder and, to the extent not so applied, the balance shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement

121

obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of a Majority in Interest of RC Facility Lenders), such balance shall be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender, such amount (together with all interest or other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or after the termination of Defaulting Lender status, as applicable. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(k) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more RC Facility Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a RC Facility Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by a written agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated RC Facility Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such RC Facility Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such RC Facility Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.

(l) Termination of an Issuing Bank. The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice), with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the third Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit.

(m) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.04, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions and amendments, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) within three Business Days following the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the currency and available amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

122

(n) Technical Amendments. The Borrower, any additional Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any other Lenders or Issuing Banks, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary to effect the provisions of clause (k) and (l) above with respect to the designation or termination of an Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.05 Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.22), each Swingline Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreement of the Borrower and the applicable Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05 and elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Commitment or (ii) the aggregate RC Facility Exposures exceeding the aggregate RC Facility Commitments; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. The Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivery (by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) of a written Borrowing Request (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written Borrowing Request), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of the proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or such other deposit account that has been agreed by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower) (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of a LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of any Swingline Loan.

(c) Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay, without premium or penalty, any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, by delivery (by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) of such intent to repay (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice), by the Borrower to the Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of repayment. All principal payments of Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment.

(d) Participations. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the RC Facility Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which RC Facility Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each applicable RC Facility Lender, specifying in such notice such RC Facility Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each RC Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such RC Facility Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each RC Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this clause (d) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default, Event of Default or reduction or termination of the RC Facility Commitments or the occurrence of the Termination Date, and

123

that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each RC Facility Lender shall comply with its obligation under this clause (d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the RC Facility Lenders pursuant to this clause (d)), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the RC Facility Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this clause (d), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to such Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable RC Facility Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this clause (d) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this clause (d) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(e) Designation of Additional Swingline Lenders. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as an additional Swingline Lender one or more RC Facility Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by an RC Facility Lender of an appointment as a Swingline Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by a written agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated RC Facility Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such RC Facility Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to include such RC Facility Lender in its capacity as a Swingline Lender hereunder and references to “Swingline Loans” and the “Swingline Commitment” shall be construed as references to the Swingline Loans and Swingline Commitment of the applicable Swingline Lender or all Swingline Lenders as the context may require.

(f) Termination of a Swingline Lender. The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Swingline Lender as a “Swingline Lender” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Swingline Lender (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice), with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Swingline Lender’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the third Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender shall have been paid in full.

(g) Technical Amendments. The Borrower, any additional Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary to effect the provisions of clause (e) and (f) above.

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the Applicable Account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower on the same Business Day by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account or accounts of the Borrower (or the Borrower’s

124

designee) designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise directed by the Borrower; provided that RC Facility Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that RC Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.04(f) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Xxxxxx agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the Administrative Agent. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Administrative Agent therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower agrees to pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower (without duplication) interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.13. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrower any amount (including interest) paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (b). Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and RC Facility Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.03(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and, other than as expressly provided herein with respect to any reallocation of commitments as a result of the existence of a Defaulting Lender, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.03(c).

SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Term Borrowing and RC Facility Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03 and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.07(a) shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

125

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by delivery (by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written Interest Election Request) signed by the Borrower by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable upon delivery.

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section 2.07, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Xxxxxx’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to, or continued as, as applicable, a Term Benchmark Borrowing of the same Type with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, no outstanding Loan denominated in Dollars may be continued as or converted to a Term Benchmark Loan.

SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Initial Term Commitments in effect on the Closing Date shall terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date, (ii) (x) the Initial RC Facility Commitments shall terminate on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date and (y) the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Commitments shall terminate on the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Maturity Date, (iii) the Initial Dollar Term Commitments in respect of the Amendment No. 1 Dollar Term Loans in effect on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall terminate upon the making of the Amendment No. 1 Dollar Term Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date ~~and~~, (iv) the Initial Euro Term Commitments

126

in respect of the Amendment No. 1 Euro Term Loans in effect on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall terminate upon the making of the Amendment No. 1 Euro Term Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and (v) the 2023 Term Commitments in respect of the 2023 Term Loans in effect on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date shall terminate upon the making of the 2023 Term Loans on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in a principal amount (as applicable) that is an integral multiple of $500,000 or €400,000 and not less than a principal amount of $500,000 or €400,000 (or in any other amount that the Administrative Agent agrees in its discretion), (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the RC Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the RC Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the aggregate RC Facility Exposure would exceed the aggregate RC Facility Commitments and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of RC Facility Commitments, the LC Sublimit exceeds the amount of aggregate RC Facility Commitments, then the LC Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under clause (b) of this Section 2.08 (as selected by the Borrower) at least one Business Day prior to the effective date thereof, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of any Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of any other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date of termination or reduction) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of (x) each Initial RC Facility Loan of such Lender on the Initial RC Facility Maturity Date and (y) each 2023 Replacement RC Facility Loan of such Lender on the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Maturity Date, (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of any Swingline Loan on the earlier of (x) the date that is ten Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (y) the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Maturity Date and (iii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Xxxxxx, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to

127

each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Xxxxxx’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Section 2.09 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein (absent manifest error); provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the entries made pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.09, the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.09 shall control.

(e) Any Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note.

129

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may prepay the outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:

(A) The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans at a discount to par (such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.11(a)(ii); provided that (x) the Borrower shall not borrow RC Facility Loans, ABL Loans or Incremental RC Facility Loans to fund any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and (y) the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) in order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless (I) at least five Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment with respect to such Class as a result of a prepayment made by the Borrower on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Closing Date or (II) at least three Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower’s election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(B) (1) Subject to the proviso to subclause (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with five Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period of notice as the Auction Agent may otherwise approve) in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender or to each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable tranche, the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), other than for purposes of the proviso of Section 2.11(a)(ii)(A)(II)), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than (as applicable) $1,000,000 or €750,000 and whole increments of $500,000 or €400,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the date specified in the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice (or such later date as the Borrower may agree with the reasonable consent of the Auction Agent) (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”).

(2) Each relevant Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then outstanding Term

130

Loans at the Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Term Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the tranches of such Term Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the applicable Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.

(3) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower will make prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subclause (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and tranches of Term Loans specified in such Term Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to clause (2); provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro-rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, provide written notice to (I) the Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid and (II) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of its Term Loans to be prepaid. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date in accordance with subclause (F) below (subject to subclause (J) below).

(C) (1) Subject to the proviso to subclause (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period of notice as the Auction Agent may otherwise approve) in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any Class of Loans on an individual tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant tranche of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by the Borrower (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), other than for purposes of the proviso of Section 2.11(a)(ii)(A)(II)), (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than (as applicable) $1,000,000 or €750,000 and whole increments of $500,000 or €400,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower

131

shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding relevant Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the date specified in the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Notice (or such later date as the Borrower may agree with the reasonable consent of the Auction Agent) (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”). Each relevant Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable tranche or tranches and the maximum aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Term Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.

(2) The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid in accordance with this subclause (C). The Borrower agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to (or less than) its Submitted Amount (subject to any applicable proration pursuant to the following clause (3)) at the Applicable Discount (or, if the Submitted Discount of such Lender is a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount, at its Submitted Discount) (each such Term Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

(3) If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount (or, if the Submitted Discount of such Lender is a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount, at its Submitted Discount); provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro-rata among the Identified Participating Lenders (after giving effect to the provisions of the immediately succeeding

132

sentence) in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender, and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration. All Discount Range Prepayment Offers including a Submitted Discount at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount shall be repaid, and will not be subject to pro-ration. The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, provide written notice to (I) the Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid and (II) each Participating Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount and tranches of its Term Loans to be prepaid and the discount to par applicable to such prepayment. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date in accordance with subclause (F) below (subject to subclause (J) below).

(D) (1) Subject to the proviso to subclause (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period of notice as the Auction Agent may otherwise approve) in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the tranche or tranches of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), other than for purposes of the proviso of Section 2.11(a)(ii)(A)(II)), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than (as applicable) $1,000,000 or €750,000 and whole increments of $500,000 or €400,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the date specified in the applicable Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice (or such later date as the Borrower may agree with the reasonable consent of the Auction Agent) (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.

133

(2) The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the smallest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(3) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower in accordance with this subclause (D). If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (or, if the Offered Discount of such Lender is a discount to par greater than the Acceptable Discount, at its Offered Discount) (each such Term Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subclause (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount (or, if the Offered Discount of such Lender is a discount to par greater than the Acceptable Discount, at its Offered Discount); provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders (after giving effect to the provisions of the immediately succeeding sentence to achieve the maximum discount) in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender, and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). All Offered Amounts including an Offered Discount at a discount to par greater than the Acceptable Discount shall be prepaid, and will not be subject to proration. The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five Business Days

134

following the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, notify (I) the Borrower of respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid and (II) each Qualifying Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date, the aggregate principal amount and tranches of its Term Loans to be prepaid and the discount to par applicable to such prepayment. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date in accordance with subclause (F) below (subject to subclause (J) below).

(E) In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from the Borrower in connection therewith. In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be required to represent or warrant that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and/or its subsidiaries.

(F) If any Term Loan is required to be prepaid in accordance with subclauses (B) through (D) above, the Borrower shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Auction Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date and all such prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.10 (unless otherwise directed by the Borrower). The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the tranches of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Closing Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.

(G) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.11(a)(ii), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion, and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

(H) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

135

(I) Each of the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.11(a)(ii) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.

(J) The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice), to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to this subclause (J), any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Term Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 7.01 or otherwise).

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree to modifications of the procedures above from time to time, without the need for notice to or consent of any Person; provided that such revised procedures shall be incorporated as part of the notice provided in any offer undertaken pursuant to this Section 2.11(a). Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.11(a) shall permit any transaction permitted by such Section to be conducted on a Class by Class basis and on a non-pro rata basis across Classes, in each case, as selected by the Borrower.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate RC Facility Exposures exceed the aggregate RC Facility Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay RC Facility Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit Cash Collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(j)) in an aggregate amount necessary to eliminate such excess.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings as follows:

(i) in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, in an aggregate amount equal to the Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of such Net Proceeds; provided that, with respect to this clause (i), if the Borrower or any other Group Member invests (or commits to invest) the Net Proceeds from such Prepayment Event (or a portion thereof) within 18 months after receipt of such Net Proceeds by the Borrower or such other Group Member (including pursuant to any Permitted Acquisition or other Investments permitted under Section 6.04), then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this clause (i) in respect of such Net Proceeds in respect of such Prepayment Event (or the applicable portion of such Net Proceeds, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested) by the end of such 18-month period (or if committed to be so invested within such 18-month period, have not been so invested within 6 months after the end of the 18-month period), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested); provided, further that the Borrower may elect to deem expenditures that otherwise would be permissible investments that

136

occur prior to receipt of the Net Proceeds from such Prepayment Event to have been invested in accordance with the provisions hereof (it being agreed that such deemed expenditure shall have been made no earlier than the earliest of (x) notice of such Prepayment Event, (y) execution of a definitive agreement for such Prepayment Event, if applicable and (z) consummation of such Prepayment Event); and

(ii) in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition thereof, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Proceeds;

provided that, the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Proceeds to prepay or repurchase any other Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Term Borrowings (without regard to the control of remedies) to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing such other Indebtedness are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment or repurchase (or offer to repurchase) thereof with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Proceeds and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such other Indebtedness, and such amount so used shall reduce, on a Dollar-for-Dollar basis, any prepayment amount due hereunder in respect of such Net Proceeds. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or before the date that is ten Business Days after the receipt of the applicable Net Proceeds (or on the Business Day immediately following the date of expiration of the applicable investment period, as applicable).

(d) Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the first full fiscal year ending after the Closing Date (the “Excess Cash Flow Period”), the Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the ECF Percentage (after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to the Permitted ECF Recalculation Considerations (as defined below)) of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year; provided that such amount shall be reduced, at the option of the Borrower, by the aggregate amount (other than any amount applied to reduce the prepayment required under this clause (d) in respect of any prior year) of (i) voluntary prepayments or repurchases of Term Loans (and, to the extent the RC Facility Commitments are permanently reduced in a corresponding amount pursuant to Section 2.08, RC Facility Loans) made or committed during such fiscal year or, at the option of the Borrower, after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due as provided below (provided that such reduction as a result of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii) or repurchases shall be limited to the actual amount of such cash prepayment), (ii) voluntary prepayments or repurchases of Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Term Loans (without regard to the control of remedies) including under Incremental Facilities or any Secured Notes (provided that in the case of the prepayment of any RC Facility Loans or other revolving loans there is a corresponding permanent reduction in such RC Facility Commitment or the related revolving commitment, as applicable), Incremental Equivalent/Ratio Debt or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness made or committed during such fiscal year or, at the option of the Borrower, after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due as provided below (provided that such reduction as a result of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii) or similar provisions or pursuant to repurchases shall be limited to the actual amount of such cash prepayment), (iii) except to the extent deducted in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow, the amount of any reduction in the outstanding amount of any Term Loans resulting from any assignment made in accordance with Section 9.04(g) during such fiscal year or, at the option of the Borrower, after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due as provided below (provided that such reduction shall be limited to the actual amount of cash paid in connection with the relevant assignment), (iv) voluntary prepayments of any Permitted ABL Facility Debt (in the case of revolving indebtedness, to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the relevant commitments) made or committed during such fiscal year or, at the option of the Borrower, after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due as provided below, (v) voluntary

137

prepayments of RC Facility Loans and/or any Permitted ABL Facility Debt, in each case to the extent such loans were originally made on the Closing Date to account for additional upfront fees or original issue discount implemented pursuant to flex, securities demand and similar provisions of the Fee Letter, (vi) [reserved]; (vii) [reserved], (viii) without duplication of any Contract Consideration already deducted in a previous Excess Cash Flow Period, Capital Expenditures (or similar expenditures) and Permitted Acquisitions or other Investments not prohibited by this Agreement during such fiscal year and, at the option of the Borrower, after fiscal year-end and prior to the date such prepayment is due as provided below (or committed during such period to be used for such purposes within the succeeding 12 month period, in each case subject to reversal of such deduction if any such committed amount is not actually expended within such 12 month period) and (ix) Restricted Payments (other than non-cash Restricted Payments) and Restricted Debt Payments, in each case, during such fiscal year or, at the option of the Borrower, after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due as provided below, other than non-cash Restricted Debt Payments and Restricted Debt Payments made pursuant to Section 6.08(b)(ii), (iii)(1), (iv) and (vii), in each case, except to the extent funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness) (any payments described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (ix) of this proviso that are made after the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period but prior to the making of the applicable prepayment in respect of such Excess Cash Flow Period being referred to herein as an “After Year End Payment”); provided that (1) an Excess Cash Flow payment pursuant to this clause (d) shall only be required with respect to amounts in excess of $100,000,000 for any Excess Cash Flow Period (and only such excess amount shall be applied to the payment thereof) and (2) following the making of any After Year End Payment, (i) the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio shall be recalculated giving Pro Forma Effect to such After Year End Payment as if such payment were made during the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period and the ECF Percentage for purposes of making such Excess Cash Flow prepayment shall be determined by reference to such recalculated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and (ii) such After Year End Payment shall not be applied to the calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio in connection with the determination of the ECF Percentage for purposes of (and shall not reduce the required amount of) any subsequent Excess Cash Flow payment in another Excess Cash Flow Period (the foregoing the “Permitted ECF Recalculation Considerations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Borrower may use a portion of such amount of Excess Cash Flow (as so reduced) in respect of any such fiscal year that would otherwise be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans to prepay or repurchase any other Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Term Loans (without regard to the control of remedies) to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing such other Indebtedness are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment or repurchase (or offer to repurchase) thereof with Excess Cash Flow, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (A) the amount of Excess Cash Flow (as so reduced) in respect of such fiscal year otherwise required to be applied to prepay Term Borrowings (without giving effect to this sentence) and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such other Indebtedness. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or before the date that is five Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated.

(e) Prior to any optional or, to the extent practicable, mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in a written notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice) delivered in accordance with clause (f) below (the “Notice of Prepayment”). In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term Borrowings made at a time when more than one Class of Term Loans remains outstanding, the Borrower shall select Term Borrowings to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among Classes of Term Borrowings pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class (or less than pro rata so long as the lenders of such Class of loans to be prepaid on a less than pro rata basis

138

agree (or shall have agreed) to such less than pro rata amount) (which pro rata amounts shall be calculated using the Exchange Rate calculated as if the Exchange Rate Determination Date for such prepayment shall be the date of the Notice of Prepayment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a prepayment of (x) Term Loans or RC Facility Loans, as applicable, with the proceeds of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 2.21 shall be applied to the Class of Term Loans or RC Facility Loans, as applicable, being refinanced pursuant thereto and (y) Term Loans or RC Facility Loans with the proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness issued to the extent permitted under Section 6.01(a) shall be applied to the Class of Term Loans or RC Facility Loans, as applicable, being refinanced pursuant thereto. Any Term Lender (and, to the extent provided in the Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Offer for any Class of Other Term Loans, any Lender that holds Other Term Loans of such Class) may elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all (but not a portion of) any prepayment of its Term Loans or Other Term Loans of any such Class pursuant to this Section 2.11 (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) or a mandatory prepayment resulting from a Prepayment Event pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof solely to the extent such prepayment represents a refinancing of the Term Loans or RC Facility Loans, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been so applied but was so declined (such amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) shall, to the extent remaining after compliance with any applicable mandatory prepayment provisions of any other Indebtedness, be retained by the Borrower (such amounts, “Retained Declined Proceeds”). Optional prepayments of Term Borrowings shall be allocated among the Classes of Term Borrowings as directed by the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding provisions of this clause (e) of the Type of Borrowing of any Class, the Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.16.

(f) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) and, to the extent practicable, any mandatory prepayment hereunder by delivering a Notice of Prepayment to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of prepayment of a (1) Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (2) a Daily Simple SOFR ~~RC Facility~~ Borrowing, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time five (5) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment (or in each case, such shorter period as agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked or its effectiveness deferred by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Term Loan or RC Facility Loan of a Defaulting Lender and shall be allocated ratably among the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d), (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a payment pursuant to

139

Section 2.11(d) are prohibited by or would violate or conflict with any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the Borrower or would conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any Company Person of such Foreign Subsidiary, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to use commercially reasonable efforts, for a period of no more than 365 days, to promptly take all actions required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and if such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law within 365 days of such Foreign Prepayment Event or the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d), as applicable, (B) to the extent that and for so long as the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a non-de minimis adverse Tax or cost consequence to Holdings or its Subsidiaries or any Parent Entities, Affiliates or direct or indirect equity owners thereof (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation in the year of such repatriation), including any withholding Tax, with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow if such amount were repatriated as a dividend, the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans (or other Loans required to be prepaid) at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that if the Borrower determines in good faith, within 365 days of such Foreign Prepayment Event or the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period, that repatriation of any or all the Net Proceeds of such Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would no longer have a non-de minimis adverse Tax or cost consequence to Holdings or its Subsidiaries or any Parent Entities, Affiliates or direct or indirect equity owners thereof (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation in the year of such repatriation), including any withholding Tax, with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow if such amount were repatriated as a dividend, such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d), as applicable and (C) in connection with any prepayment attributable to any Joint Venture, to the extent that repatriation of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d), violate any Organizational Document of any Joint Venture (or any relevant shareholders’ agreement or other material agreement), in each case if the amount subject to the relevant prepayment were upstreamed or transferred as a distribution or dividend, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that if repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable documents within 365 days of such Foreign Prepayment Event or the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d), as applicable.

SECTION 2.12 Fees.

140

(a) Facility Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of each 2023 Replacement RC Facility Lender facility fees for the period from and including the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date to and excluding the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Maturity Date equal to (A) the Applicable Facility Fee times (B) the average daily total amount of the Unused RC Facility Commitments in respect of the 2023 Replacement RC Facility.

Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of each RC Facility Lender of any Class a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark RC Facility Loans of such Class on the daily available balance of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to such RC Facility Lender’s RC Facility Commitments of such Class (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date (or, in the case of the 2023 Replacement RC Facility, the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date) to and excluding the later of the date on which such RC Facility Lender’s RC Facility Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such RC Facility Lender ceases to have any RC Facility Exposure attributable to its RC Facility Commitment of such Class and (ii) to each Issuing Bank in Dollars a fronting fee, which shall accrue at 0.125% per annum on the average daily aggregate amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the later of the date of termination of the RC Facility Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s reasonable and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued up to but not including the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on such last Business Day of each such month, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date or Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, as the case may be; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Initial RC Facility Commitments or the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Commitments terminate, as applicable, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) shall be payable within 30 days after written demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation therefor). All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the RC Facility Lenders entitled thereto. Except as may otherwise be separately agreed between the Borrower and the Person entitled thereto, fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 2.22, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12; provided that any

141

participation fees that would otherwise be payable to a Defaulting Lender under Section 2.12(b) shall, to the extent the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall have been reallocated pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iv), be paid to the non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of the amounts of such LC Exposure for which they shall be liable from time to time.

SECTION 2.13 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including Swingline Loans, shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period then in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. The Loans comprising each Term SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period then in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. The Loans comprising each Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or 7.01(b) hereof, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any premium or fee payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the relevant overdue amount shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of any overdue principal or interest of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.13 or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to RC Facility Loans or Term Loans (as applicable) that are ABR Loans as provided in clause (a) of this Section 2.13; provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) on any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender (it being understood that interest on such amounts shall accrue at the non-default rates otherwise applicable thereto).

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of RC Facility Loans, upon termination of the RC Facility Commitments of the applicable Class; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of (i) a Swingline Loan or (ii) an ABR RC Facility Loan, in each case prior to the end of the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All computations of interest for ABR Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which generally accepted market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such generally accepted market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

142

(f) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid under any Loan Documents is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent to the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable.

(g) Each of the Canadian Loan Parties confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to the Credit Facilities under this Agreement based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement. The Administrative Agent agrees that if requested in writing by the Borrower it will calculate the nominal and effective per annum rate of interest on any Borrowing outstanding at the time of such request and provide such information to the Borrower promptly following such request; provided that any error in any such calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request, shall not relieve the Borrower or any other Canadian Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor result in any liability to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Each Canadian Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Loan Documents, that the interest payable under the Loan Documents and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Canadian Loan Parties, whether pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle.

(h) Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

(i) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Borrower or any other Canadian Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate.”

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, or at any time with respect to a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, or the relevant component thereof, as applicable (including because a Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for the applicable currency and/or such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by Xxxxxxx representing a Majority in Interest of the affected Class that Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, or the

143

relevant component thereof, as applicable, for the applicable currency and/or such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for the applicable currency and/or such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders of such Class by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders of such Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist:

1. any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing (in the case of Initial Term Loans) or a Borrowing of a Type that is affected by the foregoing circumstances (~~in the case of the~~ ~~RC Facility) (~~each, an “Affected Borrowing”) shall be ineffective and:

(x) in the case of Initial Term Loans, (A) such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including with respect to applicable Loans not denominated in Dollars, until an acceptable alternative rate is established) and (B) if denominated in Euros, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Majority in Interest of the applicable Class shall establish a mutually acceptable alternative rate; or

(y) in the case of RC Facility Loans and 2023 Term Loans outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.14(a), (A) if denominated in Dollars, (1) any Term SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate for Dollar Borrowings is not also the subject of Section 2.14(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate for Dollar Borrowings also is the subject of Section 2.14(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan or (B) if denominated in an Approved RC Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency, any such Borrowing shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such RC Facility Loan, bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) in consultation with the Borrower that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RC Facility Loans denominated in an Approved RC Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency shall, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day (x) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (y) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such RC Facility Loan, be deemed to be a RC Facility Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark RC Facility Loans denominated in Dollars at such time; and

2. if any Borrowing Request requests a Borrowing that is an Affected Borrowing, then:

(x) in the case of Term Loans, (A) if denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended and (B) if denominated in Euros, such Borrowing shall bear interest by reference to an acceptable alternative rate mutually established by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and a Majority in Interest of the affected Class (or, if no such alternative rate can be established, such Borrowing Request shall be deemed ineffective); or

(y) in the case of RC Facility Loans, such Borrowing Request may be withdrawn by the Borrower and, failing that, (A) if denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing Request will be deemed to be a request for

144

Loans of the Type set forth in the preceding clause (1)(y)(A), or (B) if denominated in an Approved RC Foreign Currency or an Alternative Currency, such Borrowing shall be deemed ineffective until such time as a Central Bank Rate and applicable CBR Spread can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower pursuant to clause (1)(y)(B) above;

provided, however, (x) that, in each case, the Borrower may revoke any Borrowing Request that is pending when such notice is received and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings and/or one currency, then the other Type of Borrowings and/or currencies shall be permitted.

(b) Subject to clause (c) below, if at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) in consultation with the Borrower that, solely with respect to Term Borrowings that are not denominated in Dollars, either (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2.14 have arisen with respect to any relevant currency and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2.14 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to Loans denominated in any relevant currency or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to Term Loans denominated in any relevant currency shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for such loans (in the case of either such clause (i) or (ii), an “Alternative Interest Rate Election Event”), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such currency (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for leveraged syndicated loans in the United States at such time (or, if no such prevailing market convention exists in the United States at such time, the then prevailing market convention for determining such rate of interest in the jurisdiction of such currency), and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest (the “Successor Rate”) and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, as mutually determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction to the Applicable Rate). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. To the extent an alternate rate of interest is adopted as contemplated hereby, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with prevailing market convention; provided that, to the extent such prevailing market convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise mutually determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Successor Rate has not otherwise been established pursuant to this clause (b), after the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have reached such a determination, the Borrower and the Lenders constituting a Majority in Interest of the affected Class may select a different alternate rate as long as it is reasonably practicable for the Administrative Agent to administer such different rate and, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, such Lenders and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b), (x) with respect to Term Borrowings in a currency other than Dollars, any request by the Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing of Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable currency, (y) with respect to Term Borrowings in a currency other than Dollars, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the applicable currency shall be ineffective and (z) with respect to Term Borrowings in a currency other than Dollars, any Affected Borrowing shall be deemed to be an ABR Borrowing and shall accrue interest on the basis of the

145

Alternate Base Rate (as though a Loan outstanding in Dollars), commencing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on and from the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the preceding clause (b) shall not apply with respect to Term Loans denominated in Dollars, or to RC Facility Loans, each of which shall instead be governed by Section 1.18 hereof in the event of an Alternative Interest Rate Election Event or in the circumstances described in such Section 1.18.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable currency any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes on its Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or of observing or performing its obligations under any Loan Document) or to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case in an amount deemed by such affected Person to be material, then, from time to time upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank contemplated by clause (c) below, the Borrower will pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered, provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the relevant Change in Law is publicly announced or occurs on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) such Lender invokes Section 2.23 or (z) in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (ii) above resulting from a market disruption, (A) the relevant circumstances are not generally affecting the banking market or (B) the applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders; provided, further, that to the extent any such costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules, guidelines or directives enacted or promulgated under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 or Basel III, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to the extent such Lender is imposing such charges on similarly situated borrowers where the terms of other syndicated credit facilities permit it to impose such charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph will not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Other Taxes or (C) Excluded Taxes.

146

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank contemplated by clause (c) below, the Borrower will pay or cause to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered.

(c) Any Lender or Issuing Bank requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower, (i) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company in reasonable detail, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15, (ii) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (iii) certifying that such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments.

With respect to Loans that are not Daily Simple SOFR Loans, in the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by any such event (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the actual loss, cost and expense incurred by such Lender attributable to such event (other than loss of profit).

Any Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16, the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower

147

shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt of such demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.16 will not apply to losses, costs or expenses resulting from (i) the revocation by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request pursuant to Section 1.18 (to the extent applicable) or Section 2.14(a) or the occurrence of any Alternative Interest Rate Election Event and (ii) Taxes, as to which Section 2.17 shall govern.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to 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) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party, as may be relevant, shall be increased as necessary so that after such deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) the Lender (or, in the case of a payment received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of clause (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment and a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (i) as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(e)(1)-(3) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,

148

execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse of time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Xxxxxx to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17.

Without limiting the foregoing:

(1) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(2) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms), as applicable, claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax (i) pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document and (ii) pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document,

(B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1, L-2, L-3 and L-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “US Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms), as applicable,

(D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by an IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, US Tax Compliance

149

Certificate, IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the US Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)),

(E) in the case of a Lender that receives payments with respect to the Loans through a nominee that is a “qualified intermediary” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(e)(5)(ii), either (I) two properly completed and duly signed copies of an IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) and any attachments thereto by the nominee (A) confirming its qualified intermediary status, (B) designating the accounts of such Lender for which the qualified intermediary acts as a qualified intermediary and (C) certifying that it assumes primary responsibility for withholding under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and for IRS Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding with respect to such Lender, or (II) two properly completed and duly signed copies of an IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) and any attachments thereto by the nominee confirming its qualified intermediary status and any other information (e.g., IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E of such Lender) that it is required to provide under the applicable Treasury Regulations, or

(F) two properly completed and duly signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(3) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (3), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(4) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower two executed originals of whichever of the following is applicable:

150

(G) if the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying to such Administrative Agent’s exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding or

(H) if the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, (i) a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments received for its own account and (ii) a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a U.S. branch of a foreign bank or insurance company described in Regulations section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) that is a participating FFI (including a reporting Model 2 FFI), registered deemed-compliant FFI (including a reporting Model 1 FFI), or NFFE or entity otherwise exempt from FATCA withholding that is using this form as evidence of its agreement with the withholding agent to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to any payments associated with this withholding certificate.

The Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines in its good faith discretion that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at Holdings’ request, provide Holdings with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount pursuant to this clause (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid and (ii) this Section 2.17(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender

151

to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(h) For purposes of this Section 2.17 and the indemnity set forth in Article VIII, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and “applicable Requirements of Law” shall include FATCA.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17). Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be made as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment (other than payments on Term Benchmark Loans) under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Term Benchmark 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 payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension. All payments or prepayments of any Loan or LC Disbursement (or of interest thereon) shall be made in the currency in which such Loan or LC Disbursement is denominated (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof), and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Requirements of Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Approved Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Approved Foreign Currency payment amount.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 7.03.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of a given Class or participations in Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class or participations in Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with

152

outstanding Loans of the same Class or participations in Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class or participations in Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements of other Lenders of such Class at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class or participations in Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this clause (c) shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for any permitted assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 2.21, 2.22 or 9.02 or (C) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders that have consented to any such extension. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) if such amount is denominated in Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) if such amount is denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency or any Alternative Currency, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funding such amount.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(a), Section 2.06(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as Cash Collateral for, and to be applied to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or (iii) any event gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then the applicable Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans

hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be and (y) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.23, (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender, and repay all Loan Document Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date under one or more Credit Facilities as Borrower may elect or (y) require such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable (and if a RC Facility Commitment is being assigned and delegated, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consents, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and unreimbursed participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements, accrued but unpaid interest thereon, accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrower, (C) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii) and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under clause (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No action or consent by the applicable Lender shall otherwise be required in connection with any assignment referred to above, which assignment shall be immediate and automatically effective upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Xxxxxx and in the name of such Xxxxxx, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Xxxxxx, to take any action and to execute any such assignment or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.19(b).

SECTION 2.20 Incremental Loans and Commitments.

(a) The Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party may at any time or from time to time (on one or more occasions) after the Closing Date, pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment (i) add one or more additional Classes of term loans or additional term loans of the same Class as any existing Class of term loans (an “Incremental Term Facility”) and/or increase the principal amount of the Term Loans by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to such Loans (an “Incremental Term Increase”, and together with any Incremental Term Facility, the “Incremental Term Loans”), (ii) add one or more increases

154

in the amount of the RC Facility Commitments of any Class (each such increase, an “Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase”) or (iii) add one or more additional Classes of revolving credit facility commitments (the “Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments” and, together with the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Facilities”); provided that at the applicable time of determination in accordance with Section 1.09(a) with respect to any such Incremental Facility, no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Facilities that can be incurred at any time shall not exceed the Incremental Cap at such time. Each Incremental Facility shall be in a minimum principal amount (as applicable) of $10,000,000 or €8,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or €750,000 in excess thereof (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree); provided that the principal amount may be less than such amount or integral multiple if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities set forth above.

(b) (i) Any Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu with any then-existing Class of Loans, as applicable, in right of payment and/or security and no Incremental Facility shall be secured by any assets other than the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations and shall not be guaranteed by any Person which is not a Loan Party, (ii) other than with respect to an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the Incremental Maturity Limitation Excluded Amount (as selected by the Borrower), the Incremental Term Loans shall not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans denominated in the same currency outstanding at the time of incurrence thereof (or the earliest maturity date of the then-existing Initial Dollar Term Loans for any Incremental Term Loan established as the first of its type for any other currency) (other than, in the case of this clause (ii), with respect to any customary bridge loan facility the terms of which provide for an automatic extension of the maturity date thereof, subject to customary conditions, to a date that is not earlier than such Latest Maturity Date applicable to the then-existing Initial Term Loans denominated in the same currency as such Incremental Term Loans), (iii) other than with respect to an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the Incremental Maturity Limitation Excluded Amount (as selected by the Borrower), the Incremental Term Loans shall not have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then-existing Initial Term Loans denominated in the same currency as such Incremental Term Loans (or the then-remaining shortest Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then-existing Initial Dollar Term Loans for any Incremental Term Loan established as the first of its type for any other currency) (other than, in the case of this clause (iii), with respect to any customary bridge loan facility the terms of which provide for an automatic extension of the maturity date thereof, subject to customary conditions, to a date that is not earlier than such Latest Maturity Date applicable to the then-existing Initial Term Loans denominated in the same currency as such Incremental Term Loans), (iv) the Incremental Term Facilities shall have a currency, a maturity date (subject to clauses (ii) and (iii)), an amortization schedule (subject to clause (iii)), interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, AHYDO Catch-Up Payments, funding discounts, original issue discount and prepayment terms and premiums as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of the applicable Incremental Term Facilities; provided that, in the case of any term loan “B” Incremental Term Loans denominated in Dollars or Euros incurred after the Closing Date and prior to the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date (other than (x) any such Incremental Term Loans that are scheduled to mature on or after the date that is two years after the earliest maturity date of the Initial Dollar Term Loans or Initial Euro Term Loans, as applicable, in effect at the time of such incurrence and (y) any such Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount up to the greater of $550,000,000 and 33.75% of Consolidated EBITDA as of the most recently ended Test Period (as selected by the Borrower)), in the event that the Effective Yield for such Incremental Term Loans is greater than the Effective Yield for the Initial Dollar Term Loans (in respect of Incremental Term Loans denominated in Dollars) or Initial Euro Term Loans (in respect of Incremental Term Loans denominated in Euros), as applicable, by more than 0.50% per annum, then the Applicable Rate for such Initial Dollar Term Loans (in respect of Incremental Term Loans denominated in Dollars exceeding such

155

Effective Yield threshold) or Initial Euro Term Loans (in respect of Incremental Term Loans denominated in Euros exceeding such Effective Yield threshold), as applicable, shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Effective Yield for such Initial Dollar Term Loans or Initial Euro Term Loans, as applicable, shall not be less than the Effective Yield with respect to such Incremental Term Loans denominated in the same currency minus 0.50% per annum (this proviso, the “MFN Protection”) (provided, that if such Incremental Term Loan includes an interest rate floor greater than the applicable interest rate floor under the Initial Dollar Term Loans or Initial Euro Term Loans, as applicable, and such floor is greater than the applicable Eurocurrency Rate for a three-month Interest Period at such time, then the amount of such differential (in excess of the greater of (x) such floor and (y) such Eurocurrency Rate) shall be equated to the Applicable Rate for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Rate under the Initial Dollar Term Loans or Initial Euro Term Loans, as applicable, shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the applicable Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Rate unless the Borrower elects in its sole discretion) applicable to the applicable Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors; provided, further, that if such Incremental Term Loan includes an interest rate floor lower than the applicable interest rate floor under the Initial Dollar Term Loans or Initial Euro Term Loans, as applicable, or does not include an interest rate floor and, as of the date such Incremental Term Loans are incurred, the “LIBOR floor” with respect to the applicable Term Loans is the basis for determining the Eurocurrency Rate, then the amount of such differential (which shall be deemed to be 0.00% in the case of any Incremental Term Loans without an interest rate floor) shall reduce the Applicable Rate with respect to such Incremental Term Loans for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Rate under the Initial Dollar Term Loans or Initial Euro Term Loans, as applicable, shall be required (the “MFN Adjustment”)); (v) any mandatory prepayment (other than any scheduled amortization payment) of Incremental Term Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis with such existing applicable Term Loans, except that the Borrower and the lenders providing the relevant Incremental Term Loans shall be permitted, in their sole discretion, to elect to prepay or receive, as applicable, any such prepayment on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis (other than with respect to Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness or as provided for in any Refinancing Amendment and/or Loan Modification Order)) and (vi) the Incremental Term Loans may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Term Loans as agreed between the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans.

(c) (i) Any Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase shall be treated the same as the Class of RC Facility Commitments being increased (including with respect to maturity date thereof) and shall be considered to be part of the Class of RC Facility being increased (it being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase, the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors and facility fees (or undrawn commitment fees) on the Class of RC Facility Commitments being increased may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase (without any requirement to pay such fees to any existing RC Facility Lenders)).

(ii) Any Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments (A) shall not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date applicable to the 2023 Replacement RC Facility on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date and shall require no amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior thereto, (B) shall have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, facility fees (or undrawn commitment fees), funding discounts, original issue discounts, prepayment terms and premiums and commitment reduction and termination terms as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such commitments, (C) subject to clause (A) above, shall contain borrowing, repayment and termination of Commitment mechanics and procedures as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such commitments and acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld,

156

conditioned or delayed), (D) with respect to provisions relating to letters of credit issued thereunder, shall be on terms substantially similar (except for the fees payable in connection therewith and the identity of the letter of credit issuer, as applicable, which shall be determined by the Borrower, the lenders of such commitments and the applicable letter of credit issuers and borrowing, repayment and termination of commitment procedures with respect thereto, in each case which shall be specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment) to the terms relating to the Letters of Credit with respect to any applicable Class of RC Facility Commitments or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (E) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of any existing RC Facility (including currency denomination); provided that except with respect to matters contemplated by clause (c)(i) above and clauses (A)-(D) of this clause (c)(ii), if any differences are not substantially consistent with the terms of an existing RC Facility, any differences shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants and other provisions applicable only to the periods after the Latest Maturity Date applicable to the 2023 Replacement RC Facility or to the extent such covenants or other provisions are added for the benefit of the 2023 Replacement RC Facility).

(d) To the extent any Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments are established, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on any such facilities (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of any such facilities and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (3) below)) of Loans with respect to any such Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments after the effective date of such Incremental Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with all RC Facility Loans made pursuant to commitments in effect on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (including any Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase) and Loans in respect of any Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments, (2) all letters of credit under any such Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all lenders with commitments under Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments and (3) the permanent repayment of Loans with respect to, and termination of commitments under, any such Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments (including any Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase) after the effective date of such Incremental Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with the RC Facility Loans made pursuant to commitments in effect on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (including any Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase) and all other Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments (including any Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase), except that (x) the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments on a greater than pro rata basis as compared to any other Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments with a later maturity date than such Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments and (y) the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate such Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments on a less than pro rata basis with the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Commitments in effect on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (including any Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase) or any other Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments (including any Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase) (but not a greater than pro rata basis) if the Additional Lenders under such Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments so provide.

(e) Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a RC Facility Commitment of such Class, an increase in such Lender’s RC Facility Commitment of such Class) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender or Additional Lender, if any, agreeing to provide such Commitment (it being agreed that any Person other than a Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment shall meet the requirements set forth in

157

the definition of “Additional Lender”), and the Administrative Agent. Each Incremental Term Loan and each loan under Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments shall be a “Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20 (including, without limitation, to modify the terms of this Agreement to appropriately incorporate additional currency mechanics, additional revolving or letter of credit facility mechanics (including those related to payments, prepayments, purchases of participations and reallocation mechanisms) and other provisions and commitment schedules relating to revolving or letter of credit facilities generally). The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment and the occurrence of any Credit Extension pursuant to such Incremental Facility Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the parties thereto shall agree (subject to the provisions of this Section 2.20). The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans, Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of acquisitions permitted hereunder and other Investments, permitted Restricted Payments and any other purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) Incremental Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender (in its sole discretion), or, subject to (i) the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such consent would be required under Section 9.04 for assignments or participations of Term Loans, RC Facility Loans or RC Facility Commitments, as applicable, to the relevant person and (ii) in the case of any Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments or Incremental RC Facility Commitment Increases, the consent of each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such consent would be required under Section 9.04 for assignments or participations of RC Facility Loans or RC Facility Commitments, as applicable, by any other Additional Lender.

(g) Each Lender or Additional Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Facility shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Facility. On the effective date of such Incremental Facility, each Additional Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.

(h) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Amendment and/or any amendment to any other Loan Document as may be necessary or appropriate in order to establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20 and such technical amendments (including with respect to the amortization thereof to create a “fungible” class of term loans) as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.20.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.21 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (i) all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (including any then outstanding Other Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans) or (ii) all or any portion of the RC Facility Loans (or Unused RC Facility Commitments) then outstanding under this Agreement (including any then outstanding Other

158

RC Facility Loans, Other RC Facility Commitments or Additional/Replacement RC Facility Commitments), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other RC Facility Loans or Other RC Facility Commitments, as the case may be, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (A) will have such pricing (including interest, fees and premiums) and optional prepayment (or redemption) terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (B) the proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of the Indebtedness being so refinanced or replaced, as the case may be. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.21 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than (as applicable) $10,000,000 or €8,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or €750,000 in excess thereof (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree). Any Refinancing Amendment establishing any Other RC Facility Commitments shall, with respect to provisions relating to letters of credit issued thereunder, be on terms substantially similar (except for the fees payable in connection therewith and the identity of the letter of credit issuer, as applicable, which shall be determined by the Borrower, the lenders of such commitments and the applicable letter of credit issuers and borrowing, repayment and termination of commitment procedures with respect thereto, in each case which shall be specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment) to the terms relating to the Letters of Credit with respect to any applicable Class of RC Facility Commitments, or otherwise reasonably acceptable to 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 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, Other RC Facility Loans, Other RC Facility Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). 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 Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Bank, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the 2023 Replacement RC Facility Maturity Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding RC Facility Commitments to Lenders holding extended letter of credit facility commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding RC Facility Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such RC Facility Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.22 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 9.02(d).

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether

159

voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent and, where relevant, the Borrower, as follows: (A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; (B) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender and each RC Facility Lender and Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder; (C) third, if so reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, to Cash Collateralize Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure of each Issuing Bank with respect to that Defaulting Lender; (D) fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; (E) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; (F) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the non-Defaulting Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; (G) seventh, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (H) eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements and such Lender is a Defaulting Lender under clause (a) of the definition thereof, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Exposure of, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22 or Section 2.04(j) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive or accrue any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.12(a) while that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.12(e).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04 and Section 2.05, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the RC Facility Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not at any time exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the RC Facility Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure of that Lender; provided that no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such Defaulting Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Xxxxxx’s increased exposure following such reallocation. If the reallocation provided for in the preceding sentence cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it hereunder or under

160

applicable Requirements of Law (A) first, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure that has not been reallocated in accordance herewith and (B) second, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated in accordance herewith, for so long as such unreallocated LC Exposure is outstanding. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce LC Exposure shall be released promptly following (A) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 2.19)) or (B) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral (including as a result of any subsequent reallocation of Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with this clause (iv)).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.23 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful or not possible in practice, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to a Term Benchmark Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon a Term Benchmark Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make, continue or charge interest with respect to affected Term Benchmark Loans or to convert ABR Loans to affected Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended (and, if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender’s making or maintaining ABR Loans, the interest rate of which is determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, the interest rate with respect to such ABR Loans shall, to the extent necessary to avoid illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”) until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon three Business Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, at the Borrower’s election, without regard to underlying currency, convert all affected Term Benchmark Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans (in which case the Borrower shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with such payment) and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, during the period of such suspension, compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Term SOFR component thereof, as the case may be, until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted

161

Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, as the case may be. Each Xxxxxx agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, but shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.16.

SECTION 2.24 Loan Modification Offers.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice), make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to effect one or more Permitted Amendments relating to such Affected Class pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (including mechanics to permit cashless rollovers and exchanges by Xxxxxxx). Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Xxxxxx’s Loans and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Xxxxxx’s acceptance has been made. A Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower, each applicable Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates and officer’s certificates as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, in each case substantially in the form delivered on the Closing Date (with appropriate modification thereto to reflect the nature of the Loan Modification Offer). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.24, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed Loan Modification Offer, any Lender declines to consent to such Loan Modification Offer on the terms and by the deadline set forth in such Loan Modification Offer (each such Lender, a “Non-Accepting Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Accepting Lender, (i) replace such Non-Accepting Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Loans and Commitments of the Affected Class to one or more Eligible Assignees (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (ii) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender and prepay such Non-Accepting Lender; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that (1) the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or Commitments on the terms set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment, (2) such Non-Accepting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of the Loans of the Affected Class assigned by it pursuant to this Section 2.24(b), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees), (3) unless waived, the Borrower or such

162

Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b) and (4) such Non-Accepting Lender shall be entitled to any prepayment premiums or penalties from the Borrower to the extent a premium or penalty would be due in respect of a prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Non-Accepting Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Non-Accepting Lender and in the name of such Non-Accepting Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such assignment or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.24(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

163

(iv) such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes are not required to be repaid, prepaid, redeemed, repurchased or defeased, whether on one or more fixed dates, upon the occurrence of one or more events or at the option of any holder thereof (except, in each case, upon the occurrence of an event of default, a change in control, an event of loss or an asset disposition) prior to the Latest Maturity Date for the Class or Classes of Term Loans being exchanged; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, scheduled amortization payments (however denominated, including scheduled offers to repurchase) of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes shall be permitted so long as (other than with respect to an aggregate principal amount thereof not to exceed the Refinancing Maturity Limitation Excluded Amount (as selected by the Borrower)) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Indebtedness shall be not earlier than the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class or Classes of Term Loans being exchanged;

(vii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes have covenants and events of default (excluding optional prepayment and redemption terms) that either, at the option of the Borrower, (i) reflect market terms and conditions at the time of the issuance, incurrence or effectiveness of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes or (ii) are substantially identical to or not materially more favorable to the lenders or investors providing such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes than the Term Loans being exchanged (it being understood that, in the case of this clause (ii), to the extent that any covenant or other provision is added for the benefit of any such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes, this clause (ii) shall be satisfied if such covenant or other provision is either (x) also added for the benefit of the Initial Term Facility other than the Term Loans being exchanged (and any such addition shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders) or (y) only applicable to periods after the Latest Maturity Date at the time of such refinancing), in each case with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, when taken as a whole and as determined by the Borrower in good faith;

(viii) all Term Loans exchanged under each applicable Class by the Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for immediate cancellation), and accrued and unpaid interest on such Term Loans shall be paid to the exchanging Lenders on the date of consummation of such Permitted Debt Exchange, or, if agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loans (with such interest accruing until the date of consummation of such Permitted Debt Exchange);

164

Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof of the applicable Class actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans under the relevant Class tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, or, if such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall have been made with respect to multiple Classes without specifying a maximum aggregate principal amount offered to be exchanged for each Class, and the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Classes tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof actually held by it) shall exceed the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of all relevant Classes offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans across all Classes subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered;

(x) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Section 2.11 (other than Section 2.11(a)(i)), Section 2.18 and Section 2.20 shall not apply to any Permitted Debt Exchange or the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.25.

(b) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation (without netting against the calculation of Consolidated First Lien Net Debt (or any component definition thereof), with respect to such fiscal quarter and any four fiscal quarter period that contains such fiscal quarter, any portion of the Cure Amount and without giving pro forma effect, with respect to such fiscal quarter and any four fiscal quarter that contains such fiscal quarter, to any portion of the Cure Amount applied to any repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith, except to the extent of any actual repayment), either (i) the RC Facility Test Condition shall cease to be satisfied, then in such case, the Financial Maintenance Covenant shall cease to be in effect and shall not be required to be tested with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter or (ii) the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Maintenance Covenant, then in such case, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Maintenance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Maintenance Covenant that had occurred (and any other Default or Event of Default as a result thereof) shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement;

(c) upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a written notice from the Borrower (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice) that the Borrower intends to exercise the Cure Right (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”), until the fifteenth Business Day following the date on which financial statements for the fiscal quarter to which such Notice of Intent to Cure relates are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, neither the Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor) nor any RC Facility Lender shall exercise any right to accelerate the RC Facility Loans, terminate the RC Facility Commitments or demand Cash Collateral, and none of the

218

Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor) nor any RC Facility Lender or Secured Party in respect of the RC Facility shall exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of the Collateral or any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents, in each case, solely on the basis of the relevant failure to comply with Section 6.10;

(d) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period of the Borrower there shall be at least two fiscal quarters (which may, but are not required to be, consecutive) in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) during the term of this Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times and (iii) for purposes of this Section 7.02, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than (x) in the case of clause (a)(i) above, the amount required for purposes of causing the RC Facility Test Condition not to be satisfied and (y) in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Maintenance Covenant (or, in any case, if greater, the amount required to be in pro forma compliance with any financial covenant with respect to any other Indebtedness that is being cured). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, during any Test Period in which any Cure Amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA as a result of any exercise of the Cure Right in accordance with clause (a)(ii) above, the Cure Amount received pursuant to any exercise of such Cure Right shall be (A) counted solely as an increase to Consolidated EBITDA for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 6.10 (and, to the extent provided for in clause (b) above, a reduction in Indebtedness) and (B) disregarded for purposes of determining any financial ratio-based conditions or provisions, pricing or any available basket under this Agreement; and

(e) no RC Facility Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any Credit Extension (other than any amendment, modification, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit that does not increase the face amount thereof) from and after earlier of (x) the occurrence of the relevant Event of Default and (y) such time as the Administrative Agent has received the Notice of Intent to Cure unless and until the Cure Amount is actually received.

SECTION 7.03 Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 7.01, the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

FIRST, to the payment in full of all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations, as the case may be, including all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket court costs and fees and expenses of its agents and fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel payable under this Agreement and in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations, as the case may be, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each case to the extent reimbursable in accordance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, as applicable;

SECOND, to the payment in full of that portion of the Secured Obligations (other than Secured Swap Obligations, Secured Cash Management Obligations and Other Secured Obligations) constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Secured Parties arising under the Loan Documents and

219

amounts payable under Sections 2.17 and 2.23 of this Agreement), ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause SECOND payable to them;

THIRD, to the payment in full of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Secured Obligations (other than Secured Swap Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations) arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause THIRD payable to them;

FOURTH, to the payment in full of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and Secured Swap Obligations, Secured Cash Management Obligations and Other Secured Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the counterparties referred to in the definitions of Secured Swap Obligations, Secured Cash Management Obligations and Other Secured Obligations that are parties thereto in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause FOURTH payable to them; and

FIFTH, the balance, if any, after the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, to the Loan Parties, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Secured Obligations otherwise set forth above.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (acting through such of its Affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate) to serve as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to execute, deliver and administer the Loan Documents and to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, other than the Borrower with respect to its removal and consent rights as expressly set forth herein, none of Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “Collateral Agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Issuing Bank 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 Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Common Collateral Agent to act as its sub-agent in its capacity as the “Collateral Agent” (including 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 Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto). Each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints the Common Collateral Agent to serve as collateral agent under the applicable Loan Documents for which it is acting as secured party, and authorizes the Common Collateral Agent to execute, deliver and administer the applicable Loan Documents and to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are

220

delegated to the Common Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided, that the foregoing shall not act to limit the right or obligation of the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to exercise its rights or discretion hereunder and/or to direct any Common Collateral Agent in connection therewith (it being understood that to the extent JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as “Collateral Agent” shall be entitled or obligated to exercise such rights or discretion, it may elect to do so as “Administrative Agent” (and not Collateral Agent), notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary). In this connection, the Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article VIII 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 Article VIII and Article IX (including Section 9.03 as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

By accepting the benefits of the Collateral and the Guarantees provided under the Loan Documents, each Secured Party that is a party to any Swap Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Swap Obligations shall be deemed to have appointed and authorized each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to serve as the administrative agent and the collateral agent, respectively, under the Loan Documents and to have agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” and “Issuing Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, own securities of, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion (including on the advice of counsel), may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower, any other Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or a Majority in Interest of the RC Facility Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02 and/or in the last paragraph of Section 7.01 (as applicable)) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless

221

otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Holdings, the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the existence, value, sufficiency or collectability of any Collateral or creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from any confirmation or determination of (x) the LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure or the component amounts thereof, (y) the Effective Yield or the Dollar Equivalent or (z) the terms and conditions of any Intercreditor Agreement.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Responsible Officer of such Person). The Administrative Agent also may rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Responsible Officer of such Person), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that the security interests of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties required to be granted hereunder and under the other Loan

222

Documents are intended to be granted to the Common Collateral Agent as collateral agent for all Pari Passu Secured Parties (as defined in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) including the Secured Parties, and not to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, such security interests will be held by the Common Collateral Agent upon the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. Any requirement of this Agreement or any Security Document to deliver pledged collateral and any certificates, instruments or documents, or to grant any Liens to the Collateral Agent, or any obligation with respect to the delivery, transfer, control, notation or provision of voting rights with respect to any collateral shall be deemed satisfied by the delivery, transfer, control, notation, provision in favor, or granting of any Lien to, the Common Collateral Agent.

The terms of the Initial Intercreditor Agreements, including the provisions thereof governing Single Lien Collateral, are hereby ratified and approved by the Secured Parties in all respects and the Secured Parties direct the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and/or Common Collateral Agent, as applicable, to bind itself to the terms thereof on behalf of the Secured Parties.

In order to give effect to the foregoing, references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent hereunder (including as set forth below with respect to Single Lien Collateral) shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include a reference to the Common Collateral Agent acting in such capacity, and the duties of the Collateral Agent (or where applicable, the Administrative Agent) hereunder to take any action shall in such case include a corresponding duty to direct the Common Collateral Agent to take such action, to the extent applicable and to the extent such direction is permitted (or not prohibited) by the applicable Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereby agree to provide such direction and the Secured Parties agree that the Common Collateral Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely on any such direction.

It is acknowledged and agreed that, if in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law or the Requirements of Law governing any applicable Security Document (including foreign Requirements of Law), security interests of a type (or on assets of a type) may not be (or customarily are not) granted to more than one collateral agent, trustee or similar representative (or in the interests of limiting the cost of more than one grant of security, including with respect to the notarization of any relevant security documents or inscription of any such security documents before relevant public registries, including any security over shares in German limited liability companies and certain Mexican assets, such as shares or equity interests), the security interests securing Secured Obligations may be granted to either the ABL Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Common Collateral Agent for the benefit of all Applicable Secured Parties (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), including (but not limited to) the Secured Parties, with the Security Documents creating such security interests allocated, to the extent feasible (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) between the ABL Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent and/or Common Collateral Agent on the basis of whether the collateral the subject thereof is expected to primarily consist of ABL Priority Collateral or Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, respectively (the collateral subject to such security interests, “Single Lien Collateral”). The security interests in Single Lien Collateral will be held by the applicable agent upon the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents.

In order to give effect to the foregoing, references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall, in relation to Single Lien Collateral, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include a reference to the ABL Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or any Common Collateral Agent, as applicable, acting in such capacity, and the duties of the Collateral Agent or any Common Collateral Agent hereunder to take any action shall in such case include a corresponding duty to direct the ABL Collateral Agent or the Common Collateral Agent, as applicable, to take such action, to the extent applicable and to the extent such direction is permitted by the Intercreditor Agreements. The

223

Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereby agree to provide such direction and the Secured Parties agree that the Common Collateral Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely on any such direction.

In the case of Single Lien Collateral the subject of a security interest to be granted pursuant to a Security Document to be governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the United States and Canada, if the Borrower determines in good faith that the grant of a single security interest for the benefit of all Applicable Secured Parties (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) as described above cannot be achieved after the use of commercially reasonable efforts, then (i) the ABL Collateral Agent may be granted and hold any such Lien granted pursuant to such a Security Document primarily relating to ABL Priority Collateral solely for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no such grant shall be required in favor of the Collateral Agent, the Common Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) and (ii) the Collateral Agent or Common Collateral Agent may be granted and hold any such Lien granted pursuant to such a Security Document primarily relating to Fixed Asset Priority Collateral solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no inaccuracy or breach, as applicable, of any representation, warranty or covenant in any Loan Document relating to the grant, validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of any security interest shall occur, and no Default or Event of Default or other breach of the terms hereof or thereof shall occur, as a result of the collateral agency and intercreditor arrangements described in this Article VIII, in the Initial Intercreditor Agreements or in any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for the avoidance of doubt, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (including any of its Affiliates or branches) (whether in its capacity as Collateral Agent or in any other capacity) shall not be liable to any Secured Party for (i) any security interests (including any related obligations) granted to the Common Collateral Agent or (ii) any actions taken or omitted by the Common Collateral Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that Eligible Assignees hereunder may be Affiliated Lenders and that Affiliated Lenders may purchase (including pursuant to privately negotiated open-market transactions with one or more Lenders that are not made available for participation to all Lenders or all Lenders of a particular Class) Loans hereunder from Lenders from time to time, subject to the limitations set forth herein. Each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether any Affiliated Lender intends to acquire or has acquired any Loan or as to whether any Lender is at any time an Affiliated Lender and that, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, pursuant to the covenants of such Lender set forth herein or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Lender shall have acquired any Loan hereunder, prior written notice from any Lender that such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, the Administrative Agent may deal with such Lender (including for purposes of determining the consent, approval, vote or other similar action of the Lenders or the Lenders of any Class), and shall not incur any liability for so doing, as if such Lender were not an Affiliated Lender.

The Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may resign upon 30 days’ written notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and such consent not to be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank or trust company with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, gives written notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and such consent not to be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable,

224

meeting the qualifications above (the earlier of (x) the expiry of such 30-day period described in the first sentence of this paragraph and (y) the date upon which any such successor shall have been appointed in accordance herewith, the “Resignation Closing Date”); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice.

If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or is an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, remove such Person as Administrative Agent, in each case upon 10 days’ written notice to such Person, and the Required Lenders may, with the consent of the Borrower (unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, with the Borrower’s consent (unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (the “Removal Closing Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Closing Date.

With effect from the Resignation Closing Date or the Removal Closing Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except (i) that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any outstanding payment obligations of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders or the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable (other than as provided in Section 2.17(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as of the Resignation Closing Date or the Removal Closing Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth in this Article VIII. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to under clause (1) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Xxxxxx may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent without the consent of the Borrower.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, any other Agent or any other Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the

225

Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, any other Agent or any other Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption, Incremental Facility Amendment or Refinancing Amendment pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date.

Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article VIII, Section 9.15 and Section 9.17.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Swap Agreement, Cash Management Services or arrangements in respect of Other Secured Obligations, in each case the obligations under or in respect of which constitute Secured Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Swap Agreement, a provider of such Cash Management Services or a counterparty in respect of Other Secured Obligations shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

Each of the Lenders, Issuing Banks and other Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to, and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (a) release and terminate, or confirm or evidence any automatic release and termination of, any Guarantees and Liens created under the Loan Documents as provided in Section 9.15 or in any other Security Document and (b) subordinate, at the request of the Borrower, any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Security Document to the holder of any Lien on such property as provided in Section 9.15.

226

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement 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 Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Secured 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, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute such monies or other property, as applicable;

and any custodian, receiver, receiver and manager, assignee, trustee, liquidator, provisional liquidator, sequestrator, administrator, controller, managing controller or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lead Arranger shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder, including under Section 9.03, as fully as if named as an indemnitee or indemnified person therein and irrespective of whether the indemnified losses, claims, damages, liabilities and/or related expenses arise out of, in connection with or as a result of matters arising prior to, on or after the effective date of any Loan Document.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article VII for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.18) or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VII and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.18, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

227

To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, 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 2.17, each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the 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, or because of such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register), but in each case only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such amounts and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

Each 2023 Term Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such 2023 Term Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such 2023 Term Lender in respect of 2023 Term Loans from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such 2023 Term Lender (whether or not known to such 2023 Term Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such 2023 Term Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such 2023 Term Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such 2023 Term Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any 2023 Term Lender under this paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Each 2023 Term Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each 2023 Term Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such 2023 Term Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect

228

of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such 2023 Term Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any 2023 Term Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such 2023 Term Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party in connection with the 2023 Term Loans; provided that nothing in this Article VIII shall be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Secured Obligations of the Loan Parties relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Secured Obligations that would have been payable had such erroneous Payment not been made; provided, further, that this paragraph shall not apply to the extent any such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment.

Each party’s obligations under this Article VIII in connection with erroneous Payments shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a 2023 Term Lender.

Each Lender and other Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the relevant Security Documents, the Guarantee Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth on Annex A, all provisions of this Article VIII applicable to the Administrative Agent shall apply to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all the benefits and indemnities applicable to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof (except as otherwise provided herein), nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision

231

of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless such waiver or consent, as applicable, shall be permitted by this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, nor any notice or demand on the Borrower, in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further waiver, consent, notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as provided in Section 1.11(c), Section 1.15, Section 1.18 (to the extent applicable), Section 2.04(n), Section 2.05(g), Section 2.14(b), Section 2.20 with respect to any Incremental Facilities, Section 2.21 with respect to any Refinancing Amendment, Section 2.24 with respect to any Permitted Amendment, Section 5.16, Section 9.17, the definition of “GAAP” and as otherwise set forth below in this Section 9.02, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders) or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders (including as deemed provided hereunder (as applicable)); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) no such agreement shall increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that (x) neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection therewith and (y) no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, Default, Event of Default, representation, warranty, covenant, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) no such agreement shall reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or premium payable hereunder, in each case under this subclause (ii) without the written consent of each Lender and/or Issuing Bank directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any Default, Event of Default, representation, warranty, covenant, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments (including any amendment of any ratio used in the calculation of such prepayment or reduction amount or in the component definitions thereof) and no change to the definition of any ratio used in the calculation of interest rate or fees therein or in the component definitions, shall in any such case be construed as such a reduction or forgiveness; it being further understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection therewith); provided that, without limiting the ability of an individual Lender to waive its rights with respect thereto, the application of default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c) may be waived with the consent of the Required Lenders (and no other consent shall be required); (iii) no such agreement shall postpone the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.10, or the reimbursement date with respect to any LC Disbursement, or any date fixed for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender and Issuing Bank directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection therewith) (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, representation, warranty, covenant, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments (including any amendment of any ratio used in the calculation of such prepayment or reduction amount or in the component definitions thereof and any extensions for administrative convenience as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a postponement of any such date)), (iv) no such agreement shall change (x) any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) or the percentage set forth in the definition of

232

“Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any right thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender and other than with respect to any such change that would increase the required number or amount of consenting Lenders) or (y) the definition of “Majority in Interest” with respect to the RC Facility Lenders without the written consent of each RC Facility Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) (other than with respect to any such change that would increase the required number or amount of consenting Lenders) (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any change to the definition of “Majority in Interest” with respect to the RC Facility Lenders), (v) no such agreement shall release all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement (except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, including any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement), without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), (vi) no such agreement shall release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, including any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement), without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), (vii) solely with the consent of a Majority in Interest of the RC Facility Lenders (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection therewith), any such agreement may (A) waive, amend or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 hereof as it pertains to any RC Facility Loan (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any underlying Default or Event of Default other than for purposes of Section 4.02 and as otherwise provided for, including in the subsequent clause (B)) and/or (B) waive any Default or Event of Default that results from any representation or warranty made or deemed made by Holdings or any Group Member in connection with any Credit Extension under the RC Facility, (viii) [reserved], (ix) solely with the consent of the relevant Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank may waive, amend or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 hereof as it pertains to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank; provided that with respect to any waiver or consent or amendment in respect of a Default or Event of Default, the waiver or consent or approval thereof shall be subject to the approval of the Majority in Interest of RC Facility Lenders rather than such Issuing Bank, (x) no such agreement shall waive, amend or modify (A) Section 7.03 in a manner that would by its terms alter the application of proceeds or (B) except as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder, the pro rata sharing of payments arrangements expressly contemplated by this Agreement under Section 2.18(c), in each case under this subclause (x) without the written consent of each Lender and Issuing Bank directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection therewith), (xi) (A) amend, waive or otherwise modify Section 6.10 (or for the purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Maintenance Covenant or amending or otherwise modifying any defined terms used therein), (B) waive or consent to, or otherwise modify, the Financial Maintenance Covenant Event of Default or (C) alter the rights or remedies of the RC Facility Lenders arising pursuant to Article VII as a result of a breach of Section 6.10, in each case, without the written consent of a Majority in Interest of the RC Facility Lenders (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor any other Lender shall be required in connection with the agreements described in this clause (xi)) or (xii) solely with the consent of the Borrower and the applicable Class or Classes of RC Facility Lenders and/or, if applicable, Issuing Banks, subject to the provisions of Section 1.11, this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified to permit the availability of RC Facility Loans and/or Letters of Credit denominated in additional currencies and to make technical changes to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to accommodate the inclusion of any such new currency (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection therewith); provided, further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise adversely affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a

233

particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 9.02 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time and (C) if the RC Facility Lenders under any revolving Incremental Facility have agreed not to have the benefit of the Financial Maintenance Covenant, such Incremental Facility shall be disregarded for purposes of amending or otherwise modifying Section 6.10 (or for the purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Maintenance Covenant and/or any defined terms used therein) or waiving or consenting to the Financial Maintenance Covenant Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (A) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement 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 (and to the extent such credit facilities are pari passu in right of payment and security with any then-existing Loans, to share ratably (or less than ratably) in prepayments with such Loans) and (B) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion, (ii) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) and the Borrower or any Loan Party as to which such agreement or agreements is to apply, without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or granting of powers by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in each case required to create in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, any security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest, where the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have been advised by its counsel that such provisions are necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with the Borrower hereby agreeing to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent promptly upon such request) and (iii) upon notice thereof by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender to include such covenant on the date of the incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness. Amendments to or waivers of any terms or provisions relating solely to the RC Facility Commitments (or, subject to clause (A) above, Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans) may be effected with, and only with, the written approval of a Majority in Interest of the RC Facility Lenders and the Borrower, subject to the provisions hereof that require the consent of each Lender or each Lender and Issuing Bank directly and adversely affected thereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02, this Agreement, the Loan Documents and any guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Loan Parties or other Group Members in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, amended and restated, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank (1) in order to comply with local Requirements of Law or advice of local counsel, (2) to cure any ambiguity, mistake, defect, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or administrative nature or to effect any necessary or desirable technical change, including in connection with the occurrence of a Specified Tax Event, (3) in order to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and/or the “Description of Secured Notes” section of the Offering Circular in respect of the Secured Notes and/or (4) with respect to the Intercreditor Agreement or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, as provided therein or to give effect thereto or to carry out the purpose thereof and/or hereof, in each case without the input or consent of any Lender.

234

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class) or all directly and adversely affected Lenders (or all directly and adversely affected Lenders of a Class), if the consent of the Required Lenders (or a Majority in Interest of the applicable Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in clause (b) of this Section 9.02 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender, and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender (or at the option of the Borrower, just those obligations relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender) as of such termination date or (ii) require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or at the option of the Borrower, just those obligations relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (1) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable (and if a RC Facility Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which in each case shall not unreasonably be withheld, (2) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amounts under Section 2.11(a)(i)), payable to it hereunder from the Borrower or Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (3) in the case of clause (ii) above, unless waived, the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b). No action by or consent of a Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of the amounts described in clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Xxxxxx and in the name of such Xxxxxx, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Xxxxxx, to take any action and to execute any such assignment or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (c).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the RC Facility Commitments, Term Loans and RC Facility Exposure of any Lender that is at the time a Defaulting Lender or that is a Disqualified Lender or a Person with respect to which the Borrower is entitled to take the actions set forth in Section 9.04(h)(i) shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class), all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of a Class) or the Required Lenders or Majority in Interest of Lenders of any Class have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class) or all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of a Class) that affects any Defaulting Lender materially more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent, to the maximum extent permitted

by applicable Requirements of Law, to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Secured Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Secured Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.02 to the contrary, (a) technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and no other Person) to the extent necessary (i) to integrate any Incremental Facilities, Other RC Facility Loans or Other Term Loans, (ii) to integrate or make administrative modifications with respect to borrowings and issuances of Letters of Credit, (iii) to integrate terms or conditions (including representations and warranties, conditions, prepayments, covenants or events of default) from any Incremental Facility Amendment, Refinancing Amendment and/or Incremental Equivalent/Ratio Debt that are more restrictive than this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.20, Section 2.21 or Section 6.01(a)(xxii) and the definition of “Required Additional Debt Terms” (as applicable), (iv) to make any amendments permitted by Section 1.04 and to give effect to any election to adopt IFRS (or any re-adoption of U.S. GAAP to the extent permitted hereunder) and (b) without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent or any collateral agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into (x) any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property, or as required to cause such Loan Document to be consistent with this Agreement, or to extend any deadline or compliance requirement with respect to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement or any Security Document, or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document or (y) any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (or an amendment thereto), in each case with the holders of Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement to be secured by the Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, (i) increase the interest rates (including any interest rate margins or interest rate floors), fees and other amounts payable to any Class or Classes of Lenders hereunder, (ii) increase, expand and/or extend the call protection provisions and any “most favored nation” provisions benefiting any Class or Classes of Lenders hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 2.11(a)(i) and 2.20(b)(iv) hereof) and/or (iii) modify any other provision hereunder or under any other Loan Document in a manner more favorable to the then-existing Lenders or Class or Classes of Lenders, in each case in connection with the issuance or incurrence of any Incremental Facilities or other Indebtedness permitted hereunder, where the terms of any such Incremental Facilities or other Indebtedness are more favorable to the lenders thereof than the corresponding terms applicable to other Loans or Commitments then existing hereunder, and it is intended that one or more then-existing Classes of Loans or Commitments under this Agreement share in the benefit of such more favorable terms in order to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the incurrence of such Incremental Facilities or other Indebtedness.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification referred to in this Section 9.02 relates to any Security Document, to the extent such amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification is otherwise approved or permitted pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (as applicable)

236

hereby agree to provide direction to the Common Collateral Agent to effectuate any such amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification with respect to any Security Document and the Common Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on such direction.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender (other than a Disqualified Person) and each Related Party (other than Excluded Affiliates to the extent acting in their capacities as such) of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Person”) against, and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (collectively, the “Losses”) of any kind or nature, and subject to the limitations set forth below in this clause (b) with respect to legal fees and expenses, and the reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject, in the case of any such Losses and related expenses, to the extent arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with (i) the structuring, arrangement or syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery or administration of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or the use of proceeds provided hereunder (including, without limitation, any actual or threatened claim, action, litigation, investigation or other proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) relating to any of the foregoing) (each, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not such Proceedings are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, Affiliates or creditors or any other third person, and to reimburse each such Indemnified Person promptly for any reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, responding to or

237

defending any of the foregoing (provided that legal fees and expenses will be limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of (x) one firm of counsel for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, (y) if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole and (z) in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel, and, if necessary, one additional local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction for all such affected Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole) and other reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses or related expenses to the extent that they have resulted from (i) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (ii) a material breach of the obligations under the Loan Documents by any Indemnified Person or its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (iii) any Proceeding that does not arise from any act or omission by Holdings, the Borrower or any Related Party and that is brought by any Indemnified Person against another Indemnified Person; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers, to the extent fulfilling their respective roles as an agent or arranger hereunder and in their capacities as such, shall remain indemnified in respect of such a Proceeding, to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding proviso apply to such Person at such time. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.

For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate RC Facility Exposures, outstanding Loans (without duplication of RC Facility Exposure) and unused Commitments at the time. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to Section 2.06(c) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this clause (c).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, no party hereto shall assert, or permit any of its Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or any Indemnified Person (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet, the Platform or any other customary electronic platform or messaging service); provided that such waiver shall not, as to any Person, be available to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a breach of the Loan Documents by, such Person or its Affiliates or Related Parties or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification and reimbursement

238

obligations to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claims with respect to which the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than 30 days (x) after written demand therefor, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant indemnity request, in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, after receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request; provided, however, that any Indemnified Person shall promptly refund or return an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as provided in Section 6.03(a), (b), (f) or (g), the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender or Issuing Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) and clause (g) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Borrower may in its sole discretion withhold its consent to any assignment to any Person that is not a Disqualified Lender but is known by the Borrower to be an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender regardless of whether such Person is identifiable as an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender on the basis of such Affiliate’s name); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for any such assignment if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

(C) solely in the case of the RC Facility, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the case of any assignment of (1) Term Loans to another Term Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof, no consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (1) shall not override the prohibitions herein on assignments to Disqualified Lenders); (2) RC Facility

239

Commitments and/or RC Facility Loans to another RC Facility Lender or an Affiliate (which Affiliate shall have similar creditworthiness and Letter of Credit capabilities) of an RC Facility Lender, no consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be required; and (3) Term Loans or RC Facility Loans or RC Facility Commitments to an Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund in a manner otherwise permitted by this Agreement, no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.04 to the contrary, if the Borrower has not given the Administrative Agent written notice of its objection to any assignment that requires the Borrower’s consent within 15 Business Days after receipt of written notice to such Person, such Person shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment; provided that this sentence shall not apply to the Borrower with respect to any assignment (I) of RC Facility Commitments and/or RC Facility Loans or (II) to a Disqualified Lender or to a Person known by the Borrower to be an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender regardless of whether such Person is identifiable as an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender on the basis of such Affiliate’s name.

(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 Xxxxxx’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) in the case of a RC Facility Loan or RC Facility Commitment (as applicable) $5,000,000 or €4,000,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or €750,000 in excess thereof) and (y) in the case of a Term Loan (as applicable) $1,000,000 or €750,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or €750,000 in excess thereof), unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that in determining compliance with this subclause (A), (a) any amount transferred or assigned under any Credit Facility by or to an Approved Fund shall be aggregated with any amounts transferred or assigned by or to an Approved Fund under such Credit Facility, (b) if on the same date two or more Lenders are transferring part of their share in a Credit Facility to the same transferee or assignee, the minimum amount so transferred by any such Lender to such transferee or assignee may be less than the minimum transfer requirements if the aggregate amount so transferred or assigned satisfies the minimum transfer requirements (net of any re-assignment or re-transfer) and provided that each of such Lender and the relevant transferee or assignee has, after such transfer or assignment (and net of any re-transfer or re-assignment), a share in such Credit Facility in a minimum amount which satisfies the minimum transfer requirements, or, if it is a transfer or assignment of all of the Lender’s existing share in such Credit Facility, in an amount equal to such existing share and (c) the remaining Commitments of a Lender under the relevant Credit Facility shall be aggregated with the Commitments of each of its Affiliates and Approved Funds under such Facility, (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this subclause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which shall include a representation by the assignee that it is not a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender (so long as the list of Disqualified Lenders (other than any Person that is a Disqualified Lender pursuant to clause (c)(ii) or (d) of the definition thereof) has been made available to all Lenders party to such assignment following the reasonable written request therefor)), together (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19, Section 2.24, Section 9.02(c) or Section 9.04(g) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective; provided, further, that such recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments of Term Loans or

240

RC Facility Loans or RC Facility Commitments to Affiliated Lenders or Affiliated Debt Funds or by any Lead Arranger or Affiliate thereof in connection with the primary syndication thereof or pursuant to arrangements directly related to such primary syndication contemplated as of the Closing Date, (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable Requirements of Law, including Federal and state securities laws, (E) except as provided in clause (g) of this Section 9.04, no assignment of any RC Facility Commitment, RC Facility Loans or any obligations in respect of Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure may be made to an Affiliated Lender (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) or to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries and (F) the assignor shall provide a copy of any assignment request (including any proposed Assignment and Assumption) to the Borrower concurrently with delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent, irrespective of whether a Specified Event of Default has occurred or whether the Borrower’s consent is required to such proposed assignment.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (v) of this clause (b), 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 (subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Xxxxxx’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.04(c)(i).

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Holdings and the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal and stated interest amounts of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by Holdings, the Borrower and, solely with respect to its Loans or Commitments, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be responsible for or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, monitor or inquire into, or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders (or an affiliate of a Disqualified Lender), nor, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall the Administrative Agent (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender,

241

(y) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to the aggregate amount of the Loans or Incremental Facilities held by Disqualified Lenders (or affiliates of Disqualified Lenders) or (z) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

(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 and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this clause (b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this clause (b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (b).

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Holdings, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee; provided that for the purposes of this Section 9.04(c), Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders for the applicable Class (other than any Person that is a Disqualified Lender pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof) has been made available to all Lenders party to such participation following the reasonable written request therefor) (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 Loans of any Class); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant or requires the consent of each Lender. Subject to clause (ii) below, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the obligations and limitations thereof, it being understood that any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) shall be provided to the Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent expressly acknowledging that such Participant’s entitlement to benefits under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 is not limited to what the participating

242

Xxxxxx would have been entitled to receive absent the participation. Any Participant that would be a non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender and to deliver the tax forms required to claim an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17 shall be delivered to the participating Lender and, if additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.17, to the Borrower).

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation or grants a Loan to an SPV shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and stated interest amounts of each Participant’s and each SPV’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 that (x) to the extent such disclosure is necessary (including with an audit or other proceeding) 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 Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version), (y) upon request of the Borrower to confirm no Participant or SPV is a Disqualified Lender, a natural Person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person or (z) in connection with a request for consent for participation in respect of any RC Facility or RC Facility Exposure. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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 (other than to any Disqualified Person, Defaulting Lender or any natural Person), including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Requirements of Law without compliance with

243

the provisions of this clause (e), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) in no event may any Lender grant any option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would have otherwise been obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement to any Disqualified Person or Defaulting Lender. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPV nor the exercise by any SPV of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17) and no SPV shall be entitled to any greater amount under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document than the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the grant to such SPV is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such SPV’s entitlement to benefits under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 is not limited to what the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to the SPV, (ii) no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; provided that (i) such SPV’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Borrower hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating any SPV hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPV during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

(g) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans and its related rights and obligations under this Agreement, to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11(a)(ii) (or as otherwise approved by the applicable Auction Agent) or (y) open market purchases (which purchases may be effected at any price as agreed between such Lender and such Affiliated Lender in their respective sole discretion), in each case subject solely to the following limitations:

244

(i) an Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as an Affiliated Lender, will not be entitled to (A) attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to which the Loan Parties or their representatives are not invited or (B) receive information prepared by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, other than information that has been made available by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, any Affiliated Lender shall remain entitled to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II);

(ii) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document (including such modifications pursuant to Section 9.02) that requires the consent, approval or waiver of the Required Lenders, or, subject to Section 9.02(e), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (other than any such amendment, waiver, modification or plan that (A) requires the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender, (B) adversely affects such Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) as compared to other Lenders in a disproportionately adverse manner or (C) deprives any Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) of its share of any payments that the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder), Affiliated Lenders will be deemed, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter (and such Affiliated Lenders shall be disregarded in the determination of any Required Lender vote); and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that each Affiliated Lender will be entitled to vote its interests in any Term Loan to the extent that any plan of reorganization or other arrangement with respect to which the relevant vote is sought proposes to treat the interest of such Affiliated Lender in such Term Loan in a manner that is materially less favorable to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of Term Loans held by other Term Lenders;

(iii) in connection with any assignment to Holdings or any Group Member, (A) the relevant Person may not use the proceeds of any RC Facility Loans, Swingline Loans, Incremental RC Facility Loans or ABL Loans to fund such assignment and (B) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing at the time of acceptance of bids for the relevant Dutch auction or the entry into a binding agreement with respect to the relevant open market purchase, as applicable;

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04 and held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 30.0% of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans calculated at the time such Loans are purchased (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof) (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that (x) to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all such Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof), the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio and (y) any Term Loans purchased by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Group Member shall be immediately cancelled in accordance with clause (vii) below;

(v) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Xxxxxx’s Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”), which

245

assignment agreement shall clearly identify such Affiliated Lender as an Affiliated Lender; provided that each Affiliated Xxxxxx agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 15 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 15 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender;

(vi) (x) no Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund (nor the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates) shall be required to represent or warrant that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and/or their respective Subsidiaries and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 9.04(g) or any Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11(a)(ii) (or as otherwise approved by the applicable Auction Agent) and (y) any purchases by Affiliated Lenders shall require that such Affiliated Lender clearly identify itself as an Affiliated Lender in any Assignment and Assumption executed in connection with such purchases or sales and each such Assignment and Assumption shall contain customary “big boy” representations but no requirement to make representations as to the absence of any material non-public information;

(vii) any Term Loans acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and immediately cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof; provided that upon such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled (in each case, in the manner set forth in Section 2.10(c));

(viii) any Term Loans acquired by any Non-Affiliated Debt Fund may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary (it being understood that any such Term Loans (x) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled promptly upon such contribution and (y) may be exchanged for debt or Equity Interests of Holdings, the Borrower or such other Subsidiary if otherwise permitted to be issued at such time); provided that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed and cancelled (in each case, in the manner set forth in Section 2.10(c)); and

(ix) each Affiliated Lender by its acquisition of any Loans outstanding hereunder will be deemed to have waived any right it may otherwise have had to bring any action in connection with such Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, and will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans and/or Commitments to any Affiliated Debt Fund, and any Affiliated Debt Fund may, from time to time, purchase Loans and/or Commitments (x) on a pro rata basis through Dutch auctions or other offers open to all applicable Lenders or (y) through open market purchases (which purchases may be effected at any price as agreed between such Lender and such Affiliated Debt Fund in their respective sole discretion), in each case, notwithstanding the requirements set forth in this clause (g) (for the avoidance of doubt, without requiring any representation or warranty as to the possession of material non-public information by such Affiliated Debt Fund or any Affiliate thereof); provided that the Loans and unused Commitments held by all Affiliated Debt Funds shall

246

not account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Lenders or a Majority in Interest of RC Facility Lenders, as applicable, have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that the portion of the Loans and unused Commitments that accounts for more than 49.9% of the relevant Required Lender or Majority in Interest of RC Facility Lender action, as applicable, shall be deemed to be voted pro rata along with other applicable Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds. Any Loans acquired by any Affiliated Debt Fund may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary and in exchange therefor such Affiliated Debt Fund may receive debt or equity securities otherwise permitted to be issued by such entity (it being understood that if any Term Loans are so contributed to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, the provisions of Section 9.04(g)(viii) shall apply to such contributed Term Loans mutatis mutandis).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at the election of the Borrower, RC Facility Exposures and RC Facility Commitments held by a Defaulting Lender may be assigned to an Affiliated Lender without the need for the consent of any other Person, with the price of such assignment being the lower of (i) par plus accrued and unpaid interest and commitment fees thereon and (ii) such lower amount as agreed by the applicable Defaulting Lender and such Affiliated Lender; provided that RC Facility Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders shall have the right to repurchase such assigned RC Facility Exposures and RC Facility Commitments from such Affiliated Lender, with the price of such assignment being the lower of (i) par plus accrued and unpaid interest and commitment fees thereon and (ii) such lower amount as agreed by such RC Facility Lender and such Affiliated Lender; provided further that the provisions of Section 9.04(g)(i) and (g)(ii) above shall apply with respect to such RC Facility Exposures or RC Facility Commitments acquired and held by an Affiliated Lender, other than an Affiliated Lender that is an Affiliated Debt Fund, in which case only the limitation set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 9.04(g) shall apply.

Each Additional Lender that is an Affiliated Lender shall meet the requirements and be subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Section 9.04(g) to the same extent as if the portion of any Incremental Facility or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness provided or proposed to be provided by it were being assigned to it pursuant to this Section 9.04.

(h) (i) If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.04 is made by a Lender without the Borrower’s consent (or deemed consent, as applicable) to (A) any Disqualified Lender or any Affiliate thereof (other than a Bona Fide Debt Fund that is not itself a Disqualified Lender) or (B) any other Person to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under this Section 9.04 for an assignment, or sale of a participation, to such Person (any such Person referred to in clause (A) or (B), a “Disqualified Person”), then, such assignment shall not be null and void, but (x) such Disqualified Person shall not be entitled to the benefit of any expense reimbursement or indemnification provisions of the Loan Documents (including without limitation Section 9.03 hereof) and (y) the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Term Loans held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans and (y) par, plus accrued interest thereon, but excluding any premium, penalty, prepayment fee or breakage costs and/or (C) require that such Disqualified Person assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees (and if such Person does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed assignment agreement reflecting such assignment within five Business Days of the

247

date on which such Eligible Assignee executes and delivers such assignment agreement to such Person, then such Person shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such assignment agreement without any action on its part); provided that in the case of clause (C), the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 9.04 (except that no registration and processing fee required under this Section 9.04 shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph; provided, further, that in the case of the foregoing clauses (A)-(C), the Borrower shall not be liable to any Person for breakage costs. Further, any Disqualified Person identified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, (A) shall not be permitted to (x) receive information or reporting provided by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender and/or (y) attend and/or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and (B)(x) shall not for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or the majority Lenders under any Class have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, have a right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action; it being understood that all Loans held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, Majority in Interest under any Class or all Lenders have taken any action and (y) shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party. For the sake of clarity, the provisions in this Section 9.04(h) shall not apply to any Person that is an assignee of any Disqualified Person, if such assignee is not a Disqualified Person. Nothing in this Section 9.04(h) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity.

(ii) Upon the request of any Lender or as otherwise required herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to such Lender the list of Disqualified Lenders at the relevant time and such Lender may provide the list to any potential assignee or participant on a confidential basis in accordance with Section 9.12 for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of, or enforcing provisions relating to, Disqualified Lenders.

(i) Upon the cancellation or retirement of any Loans pursuant to this Section 9.04, (A) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired or cancelled and (B) the Administrative Agent shall record such cancellation or retirement in the Register.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 9.03 and 9.12 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this

248

Agreement or any provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the RC Facility Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the RC Facility Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.04(e) or (f).

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.07, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing

249

in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The applicable Lender and applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such setoff and application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section 9.08. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount setoff from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any disclosure of any confidential information be made to a Person that is a Disqualified Person at the time of disclosure.

SECTION 9.14 Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Applicable Creditor in the specified currency, such Applicable Creditor agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.15 Release of Liens and Guarantees. A Subsidiary Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be released, automatically upon the consummation of any single transaction or related series of transactions, or the occurrence of any event or circumstance, in each case, permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (including pursuant to a merger with a Person that is not a Loan Party or a designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (for the avoidance of doubt, including on account of the occurrence of a Specified Tax Event). Upon the occurrence of a Specified Tax Event, any Group Member that is a Foreign Subsidiary and that has become a Borrower pursuant to Section 1.15 shall automatically be released as a “Borrower” under the Loan Documents, subject in each case to the repayment of the outstanding Borrowings by such Borrower, which, so long as there

253

shall be sufficient availability (and unless otherwise specified in writing by the Borrower), shall be accomplished by a deemed refinancing of such Borrowings by Borrowings deemed made hereunder by the Aggregator Xxxxxxxx. The Person constituting Holdings immediately prior to a Holdings Reorganization whereby the existing “Holdings” is not intended to remain as such shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Person shall be released, automatically upon the consummation of such Holdings Reorganization.

Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, all obligations under the Loan Documents, all Guarantees in respect thereof and all security interests created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 9.15 or in connection with any subordination of its interest as required hereunder, the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (as applicable) shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, release or subordination. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.15 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (as applicable) to, and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (as applicable) shall, release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (as applicable) under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(c), (d), (h), (i), (k), (m)(i), (n), (q), (r), (u), (v), (x) or (y) or clause (b), (c), (d), (e), (f)(ii), (g), (l) or (q) of the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances”, in each case, to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (as applicable). Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (as applicable) to provide any release or evidence of release, termination or subordination contemplated by this Section 9.15. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s (as applicable) authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under any Loan Document, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.15. For the avoidance of doubt, the releases referenced in this Section 9.15 on account of any Specified Tax Event, shall, unless the Borrower shall otherwise expressly elect in written notice to the Administrative Agent, be automatic and shall require no further actions (provided that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent agree, at the request of the Borrower, to take the actions referred to above in this paragraph).

SECTION 9.16 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of Holdings and the Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

257

Issuing Bank or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

SECTION 9.21 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Xxxxxx’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Xxxxxx’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

258

accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Xxxxxx’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 9.22 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Requirements of Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the obligations hereunder.

SECTION 9.23 Joint and Several Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Aggregator Borrower and Co-Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the agreements in respect of Secured Cash Management Obligations and Other Secured Obligations and the agreements in respect of Secured Swap Obligations in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, any Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the agreements in respect of Secured Cash Management Obligations and Other Secured Obligations and the agreements in respect of Secured Swap Obligations, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of the Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Borrowers. Each Borrower jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with each other Borrower with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Loan Document Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Loan Document Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction between them. If and to the extent that either Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any Loan Document Obligation as and when due or to perform any Loan Document Obligation in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Loan Document Obligation. The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 9.23 constitute full recourse obligations of each Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, notice of any Loan made under this Agreement, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by any Lender under or in respect of any of the Loan Document Obligations, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, assents to and waives notice

259

of any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any Loan Document Obligation, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by any Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by each Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by any Lender in respect of any of the Loan Document Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any Loan Document Obligation or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of each Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with the applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 9.23, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving each Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 9.23, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any Loan Document Obligation remains unsatisfied, the obligations of each Borrower under this Section 9.23 shall not be discharged except by performance or payment and then only to the extent of such performance or payment. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 9.23 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower or any Lender. The joint and several liability of each Borrower hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or any Lender.

The provisions of this Section 9.23 are made solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any such Person from time to time against each Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against each Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it against each Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any Loan Document Obligation or to elect any other remedy. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any Loan Document Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of each Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 9.23 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, to the extent the joint and several obligations of any Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state, provincial or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal, state or provincial and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other Debtor Relief Laws), after taking into account, among other things, such Xxxxxxxx’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Loan Party under applicable law.

SECTION 9.24 Foreign Law Matters; Parallel Debt. The foreign law matters and parallel debt provisions set forth on Annex A are hereby incorporated as though directly set forth in the text of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.25 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the

260

Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 9.25, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
