(d) Topco shall not have the right to vote the Rollover Performance Share Consideration unless and until Topco vests in the Rollover Performance Share Consideration. In the event that the Rollover Performance Share Consideration fails to vest during the Rollover Performance Period, the Rollover Performance Share Consideration shall automatically and without further action be cancelled and forfeited by Topco as of the last day of the Rollover Performance Period, and Topco shall have no further right or interest in or with respect to the Rollover Performance Share Consideration. Except for the right to vote and the treatment with respect to dividends which is addressed in Section 3.04(b), Topco shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Rollover Performance Share Consideration, subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions set forth herein.

The Sponsor Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified, in any respect, and no withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Acquiror. The Sponsor Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Acquiror and, to the knowledge of Acquiror, each other party thereto and neither the execution or delivery by any party thereto, nor the performance of any party’s obligations under, the Sponsor Agreement violates any provision of, or results in the breach of or default under, or require any filing, registration or qualification under, any applicable Law.

The Company and Topco further acknowledges that, if the Transactions, or, in the event of a termination of this Agreement, another Business Combination, are not consummated by July 15, 2021 or such later date as approved by the stockholders of Acquiror to complete a Business Combination, Acquiror will be obligated to return to its stockholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account.

This Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s or Topco’s right to pursue a claim against Acquiror for legal relief against assets of Acquiror held outside the Trust Account (including any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any funds that have been released from the Trust Account) or pursuant to Section 11.13 for specific performance or other injunctive relief.

No later than seven (7) days prior to soliciting the waivers, the Company shall provide Acquiror with the calculations and related documentation to determine whether and to what extent the vote described in this Section 6.05 is necessary in order to avoid the imposition of Taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Acquiror evidence that a vote of the stockholders of the Company was solicited in accordance with the foregoing and whether the requisite number of votes of the stockholders of the Company was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits or that the vote did not pass and the Waived 280G Benefits will not be paid or retained.

Section 6.09 Company Transaction Expenses. Topco and the Company shall cause the aggregate amount of Company Transaction Expenses to not exceed, collectively, the amount set forth in Schedule 6.10.

Section 6.10 R&W Insurance.

Each of the Parties agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions unless it consults with, in the case of any Acquiror Party, the Company, or, in the case of the Company, Acquiror in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives, in the case of any Acquiror Party, the Company, or, in the case of the Company, Acquiror, the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (i) in the event that this Section 8.01 conflicts with any other covenant or agreement in this Agreement that is intended to specifically address any

Section 8.02 Proxy Statement; Special Meeting.

(a) Proxy Statement.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Acquiror shall, in accordance with this Section 8.02(a), and the Company will assist Acquiror, and provide to Acquiror all information regarding the Company, its Affiliates and its business that is necessary therefor, to prepare and file with the SEC, in preliminary form, a proxy statement in connection with the Transactions (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”) to be sent to the stockholders of Acquiror in advance of the Special Meeting, for the purpose of, among other things: (A) providing Acquiror’s stockholders with the opportunity to redeem shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock by tendering such shares for redemption not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the originally scheduled date of the Special Meeting (the “Acquiror Stockholder Redemption”); and (B) soliciting proxies from holders of Acquiror Class A Common Stock to vote at the Special Meeting, as adjourned or postponed, in favor of the Acquiror Stockholder Matters. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Acquiror Stockholder Matters shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which Acquiror shall propose to be acted on by the Acquiror’s stockholders at the Special Meeting, as adjourned or postponed. The Proxy Statement will comply as to form and substance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Acquiror shall (I) file the definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC, (II) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders of record, as of the record date to be established by the board of directors of Acquiror in accordance with Section 8.02(b), as promptly as practicable (but in no event less than five (5) Business Days except as otherwise required by applicable Law) following the earlier

A-53

(ii) Prior to filing with the SEC, Acquiror will make available to the Company drafts of the Proxy Statement and any other documents to be filed with the SEC, both preliminary and final, and any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or such other document and will provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts and shall consider such comments in good faith. Acquiror shall not file any such documents with the SEC without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Acquiror will advise the Company promptly after it receives notice thereof, of: (A) the time when the Proxy Statement has been filed; (B) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, the expiration of the waiting period in Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act; (C) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, receipt of oral or written notification of the completion of the review by the SEC; (D) the filing of any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement; (E) any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement; (F) any comments from the SEC relating to the Proxy Statement and responses thereto; and (G) requests by the SEC for additional information. Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any SEC comments on the Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 10 Business Days following receipt by Acquiror of any such SEC comments except to the extent due to the failure by the Company to timely provide information required to respond to such SEC comments) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable; provided, that prior to responding to any requests or comments from the SEC, Acquiror will make available to the Company drafts of any such response and provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts.

(iii) If, at any time prior to the Special Meeting, there shall be discovered any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Acquiror shall promptly file an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement containing such information. The Company will provide to Acquiror all information regarding the Company, its Affiliates and its business that is necessary for any filing contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. If, at any time prior to the Closing, the Company discovers any information, event or circumstance relating to the Company, its business or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Company shall promptly inform Acquiror of such information, event or circumstance and provide to Acquiror all information necessary to correct any such deficiencies.

(iv) Acquiror shall make all necessary filings with respect to the Transactions under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and applicable “blue sky” laws, and any rules and regulations thereunder. The Company agrees to promptly provide Acquiror with all information concerning the business, management, operations and financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, reasonably requested by Acquiror for inclusion in the Proxy Statement.

(b) Special Meeting.

(i) Acquiror will use its reasonable best efforts to take, in accordance with applicable Law, NASDAQ rules and its Organizational Documents, all action necessary to duly convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the

A-54

Proxy Clearance Date (and will commence the mailing of the Proxy to the Acquiror Stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Proxy Clearance Date), to (i) consider and vote upon the approval of the Acquiror Stockholder Matters and to cause such vote to be taken and (ii) provide Acquiror Stockholders with the opportunity to elect to effect a Acquiror Share Redemption. Acquiror may only elect to postpone or adjourn such meeting if (x) a postponement or adjournment is required by Law, (y) as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy) there are insufficient shares of Acquiror Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) and voting to approve the Acquiror Stockholder Matters or to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Special Meeting or (z) Acquiror determines the payments for the Acquiror Share Redemption could reasonably be expected to cause the conditions in Section 9.01(f) to not be satisfied at the Closing; provided, that any adjournment or postponement by Acquiror pursuant to the foregoing clauses (y) or (z) shall require the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Acquiror shall, following the Proxy Clearance Date, use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the Acquiror Stockholder Matters and in the Proxy Statement the Acquiror Board Recommendation.

(ii) Notwithstanding the obligations in Section 8.02(b)(i), at any time prior to obtaining approval of the Acquiror Stockholder Proposals, solely in response to an Acquiror Intervening Event, the Acquiror Board may fail to make, amend, change, withdraw, modify, withhold or qualify the Acquiror Board Recommendation (any such action, a “Change in Recommendation”) if the Acquiror Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in response to such Acquiror Intervening Event, a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would violate its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and following such Change in Recommendation the obligation to solicit proxies in favor of the Acquiror Stockholder Proposals shall terminate; provided further, that (subject to Section 8.02(b)(iii)) the Acquiror Board will not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a Change in Recommendation unless (A) Acquiror delivers to the Company a written notice (an “Acquiror Intervening Event Notice”) advising the Company that the Acquiror Board proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the Acquiror Board’s determination that an Acquiror Intervening Event has occurred, and (B) at or after 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the fourth (4th) day immediately following the day on which Acquiror delivered the Acquiror Intervening Event Notice (such period from the time the Acquiror Intervening Event Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the fourth (4th) day immediately following the day on which Acquiror delivered the Acquiror Intervening Event Notice (it being understood that any material development with respect to an Acquiror Intervening Event shall require a new notice but with an additional three (3) day (instead of four day) period from the date of such notice), the “Acquiror Intervening Event Notice Period”), the Acquiror Board reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make an Acquiror Change in Recommendation would violate its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by the Company, Acquiror will and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, during the Acquiror Intervening Event Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with the Company and its Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to obviate the need for an Acquiror Change in Recommendation. For the avoidance of doubt, a Change in Recommendation will not affect Acquiror’s obligations pursuant to this Section 8.02 (other than as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.02(b)(ii)) or elsewhere in this Agreement. Acquiror shall keep the Company reasonably informed regarding all matters relating to the Acquiror Stockholder Matters and the Special Meeting, including by promptly furnishing any voting or proxy solicitation reports received by Acquiror in respect of such matters and similar updates regarding any redemptions.

(iii) Notwithstanding Section 8.01(b)(ii), the Acquiror Intervening Event Notice Period will end forty-eight (48) hours prior to the final time holders of Acquiror Class A Common Stock can tender their shares pursuant to the Acquiror Stockholder Redemption.

Following the Closing, each Party shall, on the request of any other Party, execute such further documents, and perform such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to give full effect to the allocation of rights, benefits, obligations and liabilities contemplated by this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) During the Interim Period, the Company and Acquiror shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange, obtain and consummate the debt financing and related transactions (including the repayment of existing Indebtedness) (the “Debt Financing”) on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) solely in the case of the Company, maintain in full force and effect the Commitment Letters in the form provided to Acquiror

A-57

concurrently with the execution of this Agreement; (ii) satisfy all of the conditions precedent to the initial availability of the Debt Financing applicable to any Party that are within such Party’s control; (iii) negotiate, execute and deliver definitive documents (“Debt Financing Documents”) that reflect the terms contained in the Commitment Letters (including, as necessary, agreeing to any requested changes to the commitments thereunder in accordance with any “flex” provisions contained in the Commitment Letters or any related fee letter), in each case, which terms shall not in any respect expand on the conditions to the funding of the proceeds from the Debt Financing at the Closing or reduce the aggregate amount of the proceeds from the Debt Financing available to be funded on the Closing Date; (iv) solely in the case of the Company, draw the full amount of the proceeds from the Debt Financing upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to initial availability of the Debt Financing to consummate the transactions set forth herein; and (v) solely in the case of the Company, enforce their rights under the Commitment Letters. No Party shall, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives to, without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, take or fail to take any action or enter into any transaction that could reasonably be expected to materially impair, delay or prevent consummation of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters. The Company shall comply with all of its obligations under the Commitment Letters and each applicable Party shall comply with all of its obligations under each of the Debt Financing Documents. The Company shall not permit or consent to any amendment, supplement or modification to be made to the Commitment Letters without the consent of each other Party hereto; provided, however, that the Company may (with the prior written consent of Acquiror, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) amend, supplement or modify the Commitment Letters to add lenders, agents, co-agents, lead arrangers, arrangers, bookrunners, manager, co-managers or similar entities that have not executed the Commitment Letters as of the date hereof and, in connection therewith, amend the economic and other arrangements solely with respect to the appointment of such existing and additional lenders, agents, co-agents, lead arrangers, arrangers, bookrunners, manager, co-managers or similar entities. The Company and Acquiror shall, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to, refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of any of the conditions contained in the Commitment Letters or in any definitive agreement related to the Debt Financing.

(b) In the event of any notification or communication that any portion of the Debt Financing may become unavailable on the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letters, the Company and Acquiror shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange for and obtain as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of any such financing failure event, alternative debt financing in an aggregate amount not less than the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing pursuant to the Commitment Letters, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise (the “Alternative Financing”), from alternative sources reasonably acceptable to each Party hereto on terms and conditions that are not less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Commitment Letter (as determined by each Party hereto), provided however (i) such Alternative Financing would not involve any conditions to funding the Debt Financing that are more onerous than the conditions contained in the Commitment Letters immediately prior to such portion of the Debt Financing becoming unavailable, (ii) such Alternative Financing would not be reasonably expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Debt Financing or such Alternative Financing or the Transactions and (iii) the use of such reasonable best efforts shall not require or permit the Company to obtain any indebtedness or equity in levels that are different from those contemplated by the Commitment Letters without the consent of each Party. It is further understood and agreed that if the Parties proceed with any Alternative Debt Financing, the Parties shall be subject to the same obligations with respect to such Alternative Financing as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Debt Financing.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

Section 11.14 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a Party (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such Party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, sponsor, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any Party and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, sponsor, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, Topco, Acquiror or Merger Sub under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.15 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. None of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall survive the Closing

A-67

and shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Effective Time (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part at or after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring at or after the Closing, and (b) this Article XI. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.15, in no event shall the foregoing be construed to waive any claim of the Acquiror or the Company against the Debt Financing Sources pursuant to the Commitment Letters or the Debt Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Section 11.16 Acknowledgements.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives) that: (i) it has conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the other Parties (and their respective Subsidiaries) and has been afforded satisfactory access to the books and records, facilities and personnel of the other Parties (and their respective Subsidiaries) for purposes of conducting such investigation; (ii) the representations and warranties in Article IV constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) the representations and warranties in Article V constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Acquiror and Merger Sub; (iv) except for the representations and warranties in Article IV by the Company and the representations and warranties in Article V by the Acquiror Parties, none of the Parties or any other Person makes, or has made, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), including any implied warranty or representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the assets of the such Party or its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including (x) regarding the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information, including in the estimates, projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to any Party or their respective Affiliates or Representatives in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the Transactions, including meetings, calls or correspondence with management of any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), and (y) any relating to the future or historical business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of any Party (or its Subsidiaries), or the quality, quantity or condition of any Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets) are specifically disclaimed by all Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and all other Persons (including the Representatives and Affiliates of any Party or its Subsidiaries); and (v) each Party and its respective Affiliates are not relying on any representations and warranties in connection with the Transactions except the representations and warranties in Article IV by the Company and the representations and warranties in Article V by the Acquiror Parties. The foregoing does not limit any rights of any Party pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement against any other Party pursuant to such Transaction Agreement to which it is a party or an express third party beneficiary thereof. Nothing in this Section 11.16(a) shall relieve any Party of liability in the case of Fraud committed by such Party.

(b) Effective upon Closing, each of the Parties waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and Representatives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, Actions and causes of action it may have against the any other Party or their respective Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former Affiliates or Representatives relating to the operation of any Party or their respective businesses prior to the Closing or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Schedules, or the Exhibits to this Agreement, whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, Law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it will not assert, institute or maintain any Action, suit, investigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim, or defense, regardless of the legal or equitable theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, that makes any claim contrary to the agreements and covenants set forth in this Section 11.16. The foregoing agreements, acknowledgements, disclaimers and waivers are irrevocable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.16 shall limit, modify, restrict or operate as a waiver with respect

A-68

to, (i) any rights that any Party may have under any written agreement entered into in connection with the transactions that are contemplated by this Agreement, including this Agreement and any other Transaction Agreement or (ii) any employment, severance, bonus or similar agreement or arrangement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and a current officer or director that continues to remain in effect following the Closing.

Section 11.17 Debt Financing Sources.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company and its Subsidiaries (on behalf of themselves and their respective Subsidiaries) hereby:

(a) agrees that it will not bring or support any person, or permit any of its Subsidiaries or its or their Affiliates or their respective Representatives to bring or support any person, in any Action, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Source Related Parties in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, in any forum other than the federal and New York State courts located in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof, and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such Action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court;

(b) agrees that, except to the extent relating to the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement (including any provision of any definitive agreement governing the Debt Financing that expressly specifies that the interpretation of such provision shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware), all Actions (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any of the Debt Financing Source Related Parties in any way arising out of or relating to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of laws of another jurisdiction;

(c) IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE DEBT FINANCING OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF OR THE DEBT FINANCING CONTEMPLATED THEREBY;

(d) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court;

ARTICLE IV

CAPITAL STOCK

The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 3,300,000,000, of which (i) 3,290,000,000 shares shall be a class designated as Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) 10,000,000 shares shall be a class designated as undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

Section 1. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of any of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of such class thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL or any successor provision thereof, and no vote of the holders of any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

Section 2. Subject to all the rights, powers and preferences of the Preferred Stock and except as provided by law or in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation (as defined below): (i) the holders of the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors of the Corporation and on all other matters requiring stockholder action, each outstanding share entitling the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) that alters or changes the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, on such amendment pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) or pursuant to the DGCL; (ii) dividends may be declared and paid or set apart for payment upon the Common Stock out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, but only when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) or any authorized committee thereof; and (iii) upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock.

Section 3. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board, or any authorized committee thereof, is hereby authorized to provide from time to time by resolution or resolutions for the creation and issuance, out of the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, of one or more series of Preferred Stock by filing a certificate (a “Certificate of Designation”) pursuant to the DGCL, setting forth such resolution or resolutions and, with respect to each such series, establishing the designation of such series and the number of shares to be included in such series and fixing the terms of such series, the voting powers (full or limited, or no voting power), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of the shares of each such series. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of any series of Preferred Stock may, to the extent permitted by law, provide that such series shall be superior to, rank equally with or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series. The terms, voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each series of Preferred Stock may be different from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock), no vote of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock so authorized in accordance with this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock). Except as otherwise required by law, holders of

B-2

Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation establishing a series of Preferred Stock, the Board may, by resolution or resolutions, increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of such series and, if the number of shares of such series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution or resolutions originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

ARTICLE V

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, it is further provided that:

Section 1. Except as otherwise provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. Subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and any special rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the bylaws of the Corporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”) or delegated by resolution of the Board, the Board shall have the exclusive power and authority to appoint and remove officers of the Corporation.

Section 2. Other than any directors elected by the separate vote of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, if applicable, the Board shall be and is divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, as nearly equal in number as possible. The Board may assign members of the Board already in office to such classes as of the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Effective Time”). Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expired shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expired shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expired shall be elected for a full term of three years. Subject to any special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, at each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. If the number of such directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any such additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors remove or shorten the term of any incumbent director. Any such director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal from office.

Section 3. Subject to any special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, any director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative

B-3

vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on the election of directors.

Section 4. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, subject to any special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors and subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, and shall not be filled by the stockholders (except as otherwise provided in the Stockholders Agreement). Any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the class to which the director shall have been appointed and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

Section 5. During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock have the special right to elect additional directors, upon commencement and for the duration of such period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of additional directors, and the holders of such series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to the Certificate of Designation establishing such series of Preferred Stock; and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to the Certificate of Designation establishing such series of Preferred Stock, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Except as otherwise provided by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation establishing any series of Preferred Stock), whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having the special right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including pursuant to any such Certificate of Designation), the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such series, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 6. The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

Section 7. Except as may otherwise be set forth in the resolution or resolutions of the Board providing for the issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock, and then only with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, cumulative voting in the election of directors is specifically denied.

ARTICLE VI

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation (and may not be taken by consent of the stockholders in lieu of a meeting); provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by any holders of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable Certificate of Designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock.

Section 2. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, at any time by the Board, but such special meetings may not be called by stockholders or any other Person or Persons (as defined below).

B-4

Section 3. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of other business proposed to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VII

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL (including Section 102(b)(7)), as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended, automatically and without further action, upon the date of such amendment.

Section 2. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and advance expenses to any Person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, serves or served at any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

Section 3. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may indemnify and advance expenses to any Person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as an employee or agent at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

Section 4. Neither any amendment or repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption by amendment of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of any provision inconsistent with this Article VII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VII in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Article VII, would accrue or arise) prior to such amendment or repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE VIII

EXCLUSIVE FORUM

Section 1. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Court”) of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or, in the event that the federal district court for the District of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or to the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Bylaws or this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time) or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and (b) subject to the preceding provisions of this Article VIII, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in

B-5

the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

Section 2. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this Article VIII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article VIII shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

ARTICLE IX

CERTAIN STOCKHOLDER RELATIONSHIPS

Section 1. In recognition and anticipation that (i) certain directors, principals, officers, employees and/or other representatives of the Principal Stockholder, the CP Sponsor and their respective Affiliates (as defined below) may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Corporation, (ii) the Principal Stockholder, the CP Sponsor and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, and (iii) members of the Board who are not employees of the Corporation (the “Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of this Article IX are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve any of the Principal Stockholder, the CP Sponsor, the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.

Section 2. None of (i) the Principal Stockholder or any of its Affiliates, (ii) the CP Sponsor or any of its Affiliates or (iii) any Non-Employee Director or his or her Affiliates (the Persons identified in (i), (ii) and (iii) above being referred to, collectively, as the “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (1) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (2) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article IX. Subject to Section 3 of this Article IX, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) as a stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person.

B-6

Section 3. The Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director if such opportunity is expressly offered to such Person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section 2 of this Article IX shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

Section 4. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted, to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation or (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy, in each case as determined by the Board.

(iii) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except voting pursuant to a revocable proxy or consent as described in item (b) of subsection (ii) above), or disposing of such stock with any other person that owns, or whose affiliates or associates own, directly or indirectly, such stock.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

If any provision or provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision or provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock and each portion of any paragraph of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of Designation containing any such provision or provisions held to be

The address of the registered office of Advantage Solutions Inc. (the “Corporation”) in the State of Delaware, and the name of its registered agent at such address, shall be as set forth in the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).

1.2 Other Offices.

The Corporation may have additional offices at any place or places, within or outside the State of Delaware, as the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”) may from time to time establish or as the business of the Corporation may require.

Article II - Meetings of Stockholders

2.1 Place of Meetings.

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the Board. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office.

2.2 Annual Meeting.

The Board shall designate the date and time of the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected and other proper business properly brought before the meeting in accordance with Section 2.4 may be transacted. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board.

2.3 Special Meetings.

Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by such Persons and only in such manner as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.

No business may be transacted at any special meeting of stockholders other than the business specified in the notice of such meeting.

2.4 Advance Notice Procedures for Business Brought before a Meeting.

(i) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be

A-75

(a) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board, (b) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by the Board or the chairperson of the meeting, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in Person who (A) (1) was a stockholder of record of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.4 and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) has complied with this Section 2.4 or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, which proposal has been included in the proxy statement for the annual meeting. The foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders. The only matters that may be brought before a special meeting are the matters specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Person calling the meeting pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation and Section 2.3 of these bylaws. For purposes of this Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 of these bylaws, “present in Person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual or special meeting of the Corporation, or, if the proposing stockholder is not an individual, a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, shall appear at such annual meeting, and a “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be, if such proposing stockholder is (x) a general or limited partnership, any general partner or Person who functions as a general partner of the general or limited partnership or who controls the general or limited partnership, (y) a corporation or a limited liability company, any officer or Person who functions as an officer of the corporation or limited liability company or any officer, director, general partner or Person who functions as an officer, director or general partner of any entity ultimately in control of the corporation or limited liability company or (z) a trust, any trustee of such trust. This Section 2.4 shall apply to any business that may be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders other than nominations for election to the Board at an annual meeting, which shall be governed by Section 2.5 of these bylaws. Stockholders seeking to nominate Persons for election to the Board must comply with Section 2.5 of these bylaws, and this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to nominations for election to the Board except as expressly provided in Section 2.5 of these bylaws.

(ii) Without qualification, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (a) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the secretary of the Corporation and (b) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.4. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.

(iii) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.4, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary shall set forth:

(a) As to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (A) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records); and (B) the number of shares of each class or series of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own any shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are referred to as “Stockholder Information”);

A-76

(b) As to each Proposing Person, (A) the full notional amount of any securities that, directly or indirectly, underlie any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) (“Synthetic Equity Position”) and that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by such Proposing Person with respect to any shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation; provided that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a “derivative security” as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination; and, provided, further, that any Proposing Person satisfying the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underlie a Synthetic Equity Position held by such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives dealer, (B) any rights to dividends on the shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (C) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation, (D) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation, on the other hand, (E) any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such Proposing Person with the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement) and (F) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) through (F) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner; and

(c) As to each item of business that the Proposing Person proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (B) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration), (C) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other Person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and (D) any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the disclosures required by this Section 2.4(iii) shall not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.

A-77

(iv) For purposes of this Section 2.4, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (a) the stockholder of record providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (b) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made or (c) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.

2.8 Quorum.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in Person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in Person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.9 of these bylaws until a quorum is present or represented.

2.9 Adjourned Meeting; Notice.

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, further notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in Person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

2.10 Conduct of Business.

The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the Person presiding over the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairperson, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairperson of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other Persons as the chairperson of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairperson of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

2.11 Voting.

Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws or the DGCL, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, at all duly called or convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, the

A-81

rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, each other matter presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened meeting at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter.

2.12 Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.13 Proxies.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another Person or Persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but, no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A proxy may be in the form of a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

2.14 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.

The Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic

A-82

network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.14 or to vote in Person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

2.15 Inspectors of Election.

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more Persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any Person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint a Person to fill that vacancy.

Such inspectors shall:

(i) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity of any proxies and ballots;

(ii) count all votes or ballots;

(iii) count and tabulate all votes;

(iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and

(v) certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such Persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.

Section 2.17. Delivery to the Corporation. Whenever this Article II requires one or more Persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), unless the Corporation elects otherwise, such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered.

3.3 Election, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors.

Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. The resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or upon the happening of an event specified therein, and if no time or event is specified, at the time of its receipt. When one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date or upon the happening of an event to occur on a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall (subject to the Stockholders Agreement) have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in this Section 3.4 in the filling of other vacancies.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws or in the Stockholders Agreement, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the term of the class, if any, to which the director is appointed and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board shall be deemed to exist under these bylaws in the case of the death, removal or resignation of any director.

3.8 Quorum.

At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

3.9 Board Action by Written Consent without a Meeting.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

The Board may designate one (1) or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board or in these bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation.

Unless so authorized or ratified by the Board or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the Corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

7.2 Stock Certificates.

The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board by resolution may provide that some or all of the shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated. Certificates for the shares of stock, if any, shall be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock represented by a certificate shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, any two officers authorized to sign stock certificates representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. The chairperson or vice chairperson of the Board, the president, vice president, the treasurer, any assistant treasurer, the secretary or any assistant secretary of the Corporation shall be specifically authorized to sign stock certificates. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

7.3 Lost Certificates.

The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

A-88

7.4 Shares Without Certificates

The Corporation may adopt a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares of stock by electronic or other means not involving the issuance of certificates, provided the use of such system by the Corporation is permitted in accordance with applicable law.

7.5 Construction; Definitions.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction and definitions in the DGCL shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural and the plural number includes the singular.

7.6 Dividends.

The Board, subject to any restrictions contained in either (i) the DGCL or (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock.

The Board may set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, and meeting contingencies.

7.7 Fiscal Year.

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.

7.8 Seal.

The Corporation may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be adopted and which may be altered by the Board. The Corporation may use the corporate seal by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.

7.9 Transfer of Stock.

Shares of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law and in these bylaws. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate Person or Persons (or by delivery of duly executed instructions with respect to uncertificated shares), with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing the names of the Persons from and to whom it was transferred.

7.10 Stock Transfer Agreements.

The Corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes or series of stock of the Corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.

A-89

7.11 Registered Stockholders.

The Corporation:

(i) shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a Person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner; and

(ii) shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

7.12 Waiver of Notice.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the Person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a Person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.

Article VIII - Notice by Electronic Transmission

8.1 Notice by Electronic Transmission.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:

(i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent; and

(ii) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other Person responsible for the giving of notice.

However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Corporation may give notice by electronic mail in accordance with Section 232 of the DGCL without obtaining the consent required by this Section 8.1.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

(i)

if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(ii)

if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

(iii)

if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

A-90

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

8.2 Definition of Electronic Transmission.

An “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, including the use of, or participation in, one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases), that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

Article IX - Indemnification

9.1 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any director or officer of the Corporation who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she, or a Person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with any such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.4 of these bylaws, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a Person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Person only if the Proceeding was authorized in the specific case by the Board.

9.2 Indemnification of Others.

The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any employee or agent of the Corporation who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or a Person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with any such Proceeding.

9.3 Prepayment of Expenses.

The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any officer or director of the Corporation, and may pay the expenses incurred by any employee or agent of the Corporation, in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX or otherwise.

A-91

9.4 Determination; Claim.

If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such Proceeding) under this Article IX is not paid in full within sixty (60) days, or a claim for advancement of expenses under this Article IX is not paid in full within thirty (30) days, after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation the claimant may thereafter (but not before) file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

9.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

The rights conferred on any Person by this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

9.6 Insurance.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust enterprise or non-profit entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

9.7 Other Indemnification.

The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or advance expenses to any Person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity shall be reduced by any amount such Person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.

9.8 Continuation of Indemnification.

The rights to indemnification and to prepayment of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX shall continue notwithstanding that the Person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such Person.

9.9 Amendment or Repeal; Interpretation.

The provisions of this Article IX shall constitute a contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, each individual who serves or has served as a director or officer of the Corporation (whether before or after the adoption of these bylaws), in consideration of such Person’s performance of such services, and pursuant to this Article IX the Corporation intends to be legally bound to each such current or former director or officer of the Corporation. With respect to current and former directors and officers of the Corporation, the rights conferred under this Article IX are present contractual rights and such rights are fully vested, and shall be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon adoption of theses bylaws. With respect to any directors or officers of the Corporation who commence service following adoption of these bylaws, the rights conferred under this provision shall be present contractual rights and such rights shall fully vest, and be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon such director or officer commencing service as a director or officer of the Corporation. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX shall not adversely affect

A-92

any right or protection (i) hereunder of any Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification or (ii) under any agreement providing for indemnification or advancement of expenses to an officer or director of the Corporation in effect prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Article IX shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the chairperson of the Board, a vice chairperson of the Board, a chief executive officer, a chief financial officer, a secretary, a treasurer appointed pursuant to Article V of these bylaws and to any vice president, assistant secretary, assistant treasurer or other officer of the Corporation appointed by (x) the Board pursuant to Article V of these Bylaws or (y) an officer to whom the Board has delegated the power to appoint officers pursuant to Article V of these bylaws, and any reference to an officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of such other entity pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The fact that any Person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise has been given or has used the title of “vice president” or any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such Person is or may be an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result in such Person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for purposes of this Article IX.

Article X - Amendments

The Board is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. The stockholders also shall have power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation with the power to vote at an election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Article XI - Forum Selection

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Court”) of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or, in the event that the federal district court for the District of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or to the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time) or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and (b) subject to the preceding provisions of this Article XI, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

A-93

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this Article XI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article XI shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

Article XII - Interpretation

For as long as the Stockholders Agreement remains in effect, in the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of these bylaws and those contained in the Stockholders Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Stockholders Agreement shall govern and control, except as provided otherwise by mandatory provisions of the DGCL.

Article XIII - Definitions

As used in these bylaws, unless the context otherwise requires, the term:

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control,” when used with respect to any Person, means the power to direct or cause the direction of the affairs or management of that Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, as trustee (or the power to appoint a trustee), personal representative or executor, by contract, credit arrangement or otherwise and “controlled” and “controlling” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations).

Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have advised Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) and BofA Securities, Inc. (together with its designated affiliates “BofA Securities”), Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc. (“MSSF”), Deutche Bank AG New York Branch (“DBNY” and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI” and, together with Bank of America, BofA Securities, MSSF, DBNY and each other person, if any, added as a “Commitment Party” after the date of this Commitment Letter, “we” or “us” and each, a “Commitment Party”) that XX XX Merger Sub, Inc., a domestic entity (the “Buyer”) formed at the direction of Xxxxxxx Park II Acquisition Corp. (the “SPAC”), intends, directly or indirectly, to acquire Advantage Solutions, Inc., of which Advantage Sales & Marketing Inc. (“you” or the “Company” and, together with Advantage Solutions, Inc. and your subsidiaries, the “Acquired Business”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary, and to consummate the other transactions described in Exhibit A hereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the exhibits hereto.

1.	*Commitments*.

In connection with the Transactions, (i) each of Bank of America, MSSF and DBNY (each in such capacity, an “Initial ABL Lender” and, together with each Additional Committing Lender pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the “Initial ABL Lenders”), commits to provide that percentage set forth next to its name in the table below of the ABL Facility on the terms set forth in the ABL Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit B, (ii) Bank of America, MSSF and DBNY (each in such capacity, an “Initial First Lien Term Lender” and, together with each Additional Committing Lender pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the “Initial First Lien Term Lenders” and, together with the Initial ABL Lenders, collectively, the “Initial Lenders” and each, an “Initial Lender”), commits to provide that percentage set forth next to its name in the table below of the First Lien Term Facility on the terms set forth in the First Lien Term Loan Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit C, in each case subject only to the conditions set forth on the Conditions Annex.


Initial Lender	Commitment Percentage
Bank of America		43.50	%
MSSF		28.25	%
DBNY		28.25	%

A-98

The Facilities will contain the terms set forth on the Term Sheets (including the ABL Documentation Principles and the First Lien Documentation Principles), and the commitments of each Initial Lender are subject only to the conditions set forth on the Conditions Annex (as defined below). The commitments with respect to the Facilities are on a several, and not joint and several, basis.

This commitment letter, together with the Term Sheets and the other attachments hereto and thereto, is referred to herein as this “Commitment Letter.” This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (as defined below in Section 5), together, are referred to herein as the “Commitment Papers.”

2.	*Titles and Roles*.

Each of BofA Securities, MSSF and DBSI (in each case acting alone or through or with affiliates selected by it) will act as a lead arranger and bookrunning manager for each of the Facilities (together in such capacities, and together with each Additional Committing Lender pursuant to this Section 2, collectively the “Lead Arrangers”, and each a “Lead Arranger”). Bank of America (acting alone or through or with affiliates selected by it) will act as sole administrative agent and collateral agent for the ABL Facility (in such capacity, the “ABL Administrative Agent”). Bank of America (acting alone or through or with affiliates selected by it) will act as sole administrative agent and collateral agent for the First Lien Term Facility (in such capacity, the “First Lien Administrative Agent” and, together with the ABL Administrative Agent the “Administrative Agents”, and each an “Administrative Agent”).

You will have the right (the “Designation Right”), on or prior to the date that is fifteen (15) business days after the date of your acceptance of this Commitment Letter, in your sole discretion, to appoint one or more entities (with affiliated entities being treated as a single entity) as an Initial Lender, additional agent, co-agent, lead arranger, arranger, bookrunner, manager or co-manager and to confer other titles in respect of any Facility on any such entity (any such agent, co-agent, lead arranger, arranger, bookrunner, manager, co-manager or holder of another title, an “Additional Committing Lender”) in addition to the Commitment Party that is a party to this Commitment Letter on the date hereof, in a manner and with economics determined by you. If you appoint one or more Additional Committing Lenders with respect to a Facility:

(a)

the commitments of each Initial Lender immediately prior to such appointment with respect to any such portion of such Facility will be reduced on a pro rata basis; and

(b)

the economics allocated to the Initial Lenders immediately prior to such exercise of Designation Rights in respect of such Facility will be reduced in proportion to such reductions in commitments upon the execution by such Additional Committing Lender of joinder documentation or an amendment to the Commitment Papers reasonably acceptable to you that adds such Additional Committing Lender as a “Commitment Party” and an “Initial Lender” thereunder with respect to such Facility.

Thereafter, each such Additional Committing Lender will constitute a “Commitment Party” and an “Initial Lender” under the Commitment Papers. In connection with your exercise of Designation Rights (i) fees will be allocated to each Additional Committing Lender on a pro rata basis in respect of the commitments it is assuming with respect to a Facility or on such other basis as you and the Initial Lenders then party to the Commitment Papers may agree, (ii) no Additional Committing Lender shall receive greater economics in respect to such Facility than the Commitment Parties first a party to this Commitment Letter prior to the date of your acceptance of this Commitment Letter and (iii) in no event will the economics allocated to all such Additional Committing Lenders exceed 20% of the aggregate economics in respect of such Facility (exclusive of any fees payable to an administrative agent or collateral agent in its capacity as such). We agree to execute such documentation as you may reasonably request, including joinder agreements and amendments to the Commitment Papers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to you and us, in connection with your execution of any Designation Rights.

It is further agreed that (i) BofA Securities will appear on the top left of the cover page of all marketing materials for the First Lien Term Facility and will hold the roles and responsibilities conventionally understood

A-99

to be associated with such name placement and (ii) BofA Securities will appear on the top left of the cover page of all marketing materials for the ABL Facility and will hold the roles and responsibilities conventionally understood to be associated with such name placement.

Other than as provided above, no other agents, co-agents, lead arrangers, co-arrangers, bookrunners, managers or co-managers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation to any of the foregoing or any Initial Lender (other than compensation expressly contemplated by the Commitment Papers) will be paid in order to obtain a commitment to participate in or otherwise in connection with any Facility unless you and we agree.

3.	*Syndication*.

The Lead Arrangers reserve the right, prior to or after the execution of the Facilities Documentation, to syndicate all or a portion of the commitments with respect to the First Lien Term Facility and the ABL Facility (collectively, the “Syndicated Facilities”, and each a “Syndicated Facility”) to a group of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders that are identified by such Lead Arrangers and subject to your prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (together with the Initial Lenders, the “Lenders”). The Lead Arrangers will syndicate the Syndicated Facilities to those banks, financial institutions, other institutional lenders and other persons identified by you in writing that agree to join the syndicate (collectively, the “Relationship Lenders”). The Lead Arrangers will not syndicate to the following entities (collectively, the “Disqualified Lenders”):

(a)

those entities identified by or on behalf of you in writing, from time to time, as competitors of the Acquired Business;

(b)

any persons that are engaged as principals primarily in private equity, mezzanine financing or venture capital (other than a bona fide debt fund affiliate of any of the Commitment Parties) and those banks, financial institutions, other institutional lenders and other persons that are, in each case, identified in writing by or on behalf of you to us on or prior to the date hereof; and

(c)

any person that is (or becomes) an affiliate of the entities described in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) (other than, with respect to clause (a), any bona fide debt fund affiliates thereof (except to the extent separately identified under clause (a) or (b) above)); provided that such person is either reasonably identifiable as an affiliate on the basis of its name or is identified in writing to us by or on behalf of you.

No Disqualified Lender may become a Lender or have any commitment or right (including a participation right) with respect to any Facility; provided that, to the extent persons are identified as Disqualified Lenders in writing by you after the date of this Commitment Letter (or, if after the Closing Date, by you to the applicable Administrative Agent) pursuant to clauses (a) or (c) above, the inclusion of such persons as Disqualified Lenders shall not retroactively apply to prior assignments or participations made in compliance with applicable assignment or participation provisions; provided that you will have “yank a bank” rights with respect to any Lender that becomes a Disqualified Lender after an assignment or participation of Loans to it. Notwithstanding the Lead Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Syndicated Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto, except in connection with your exercise of the Designation Rights, (i) no Initial Lender will be relieved, released or novated from its obligations under the Commitment Papers in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of a Facility, including its commitments and obligations to fund such Facility, until after the initial funding under such Facility has occurred (or, with respect to the ABL Facility, if there is no funding of the ABL Facility on the Closing Date, the date of the effectiveness of the ABL Facility), (ii) no assignment or novation will become effective (as between you and the Initial Lenders) with respect to all or any portion of the Initial Lenders’ commitments in respect of a Facility until the initial funding of such Facility has occurred (or, with respect to the ABL Facility, if there is no funding of the ABL Facility on the Closing Date, the date of the effectiveness of the ABL Facility) and (iii) unless you otherwise expressly agree in writing, the Initial Lenders

A-100

will retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to their commitments in respect of each Facility, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the initial funding under such Facility has occurred (or, with respect to the ABL Facility, if there is no funding of the ABL Facility on the Closing Date, the date of the effectiveness of the ABL Facility).

Each Lead Arranger intends to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter and, as part of its syndication efforts, it is such Lead Arranger’s intent to have Lenders commit to the Syndicated Facilities prior to the Closing Date. You agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Lead Arrangers in completing a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) until the date that is the earlier of (a) 30 days after the Closing Date and (b) the date on which a Successful Syndication is achieved (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”).

For the avoidance of doubt, neither you nor the Buyer will be required to provide (or to cause any person to provide) any trade secrets or information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding upon, or waive any privilege that may be asserted by, the Acquired Business or any of its affiliates (so long as such obligation as not entered into in contemplation of this provision); provided that, in the event that you do not provide information in reliance on this sentence, you shall provide notice to the Lead Arrangers promptly upon obtaining knowledge that such information is being withheld, and you shall use your commercially reasonable efforts to communicate, to the extent feasible, the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable obligation or risk waiver of such privilege; provided, further, that the representation and warranty made by you with respect to information in Section 4 shall not be affected in any way by your decision not to provide such information.

Neither the commencement nor the completion of any syndication of the Facilities (including the Successful Syndication), nor the receipt of the ratings described above, nor compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, will constitute a condition to the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder. Your obligations under the Commitment Papers to use “commercially reasonable efforts” to take any action shall not require any of your affiliates to make any equity contribution in excess of the Minimum Equity Contribution (as defined in the Fee Letter) or to incur any fee not specifically contemplated by the Commitment Papers (including any “market flex” provisions).

4.	*Information*.

You hereby represent that (a) all written information and written data (other than the Projections and information of a general economic or industry nature (the “Information”)) that have been or will be made available to the Commitment Parties by or on behalf of you or the Sponsors, when taken as a whole, is correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto) and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Lead Arrangers by or on

A-102

behalf of you or the Sponsors, when taken as a whole, have been or will be prepared, when furnished, in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by you to be reasonable at the time made and at the time any such Projections are delivered to the Lead Arrangers; it being understood that (1) Projections are not to be viewed as facts, (2) Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Acquired Business or the Sponsors, (3) no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and (4) actual results may differ and such differences may be material. You agree that, if at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances. In arranging and syndicating the Syndicated Facilities, the Lead Arrangers will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof, and the Lead Arrangers do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or Projections. For the avoidance of doubt, the accuracy of the representations set forth above is not a condition precedent to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date.

You acknowledge that (a) we may make available the Information and the Projections to a proposed syndicate of Lenders (other than Disqualified Lenders) by posting the Information or the Projections on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), in each case, subject to a market standard “click through” or similar confidentiality agreement, and (b) certain Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may not wish to receive information with respect to the Acquired Business or its securities that is not publicly available or has not been made (or would not be expected to be made) available to investors in connection with a Rule 144A or public offering of the Company’s securities (“material non-public information”). At the request of the Lead Arrangers, you agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to assist us in preparing an additional version of the Confidential Information Memorandum (the public-side version) to be used by Public Lenders, that will include no material non-public information with respect to you, Holdings, the Acquired Business or your or their respective subsidiaries or your and their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. It is understood that in connection with the assistance described above, (i) to the extent reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers, you agree to deliver a customary authorization letter to be included in each Confidential Information Memorandum (provided, that the customary “10b-5” representation in such authorization letter will be consistent with the representations set forth in the preceding paragraph of this Commitment Letter (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, such representation shall not contain a knowledge qualifier)) that authorizes the distribution of such Confidential Information Memorandum to prospective Lenders (other than Disqualified Lenders) and confirms that the public-side version does not include material non-public information with respect to the Acquired Business or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws; (ii) each Confidential Information Memorandum will exculpate the Sponsors, the Buyers, the SPAC, the Acquired Business and us and your and our respective affiliates with respect to the content and the use of such Confidential Information Memorandum or any related marketing material by the recipients thereof; (iii) the public-side version of the Confidential Information Memorandum and information provided to Public Lenders may include the following information, except to the extent you notify us to the contrary (prior to their distribution) and provided that you have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such public-side version and comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure requirements: (A) drafts and final Facilities Documentation, related definitive documentation (if any) and customary marketing term sheets that have been approved by you (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (B) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda) and (C) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities; (iv) at our request, you agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to identify information to be distributed to Public Lenders by clearly and conspicuously marking the same as “PUBLIC”; and (v) we will be entitled to treat any Information and Projections that are not specifically identified as “PUBLIC” as being suitable for posting only on the portion of the Platform not available to or accessible by Public Lenders.

5.	*Fees*.

As consideration for the commitments of each Initial Lender and each Lead Arranger’s and other agents’ agreements to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay the fees set forth in the fee letter dated the date hereof and delivered in connection with the Facilities (the “Fee Letter”) and in the term sheets attached to this Commitment Letter. Once paid, such fees will not be refundable under any circumstances, except as otherwise contemplated by the Fee Letter or otherwise agreed in writing by the parties hereto.

6.	*Conditions Precedent*.

The commitments of each Initial Lender with respect to the Facilities and each Lead Arranger’s and each agent’s agreements to perform the services described herein are subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Lead Arrangers) of only the conditions precedent explicitly set forth on the exhibit to this Commitment Letter labeled “Conditions Annex” (such conditions, the “Financing Conditions,” and such exhibit, the “Conditions Annex”).

Notwithstanding anything in the Commitment Papers, the Facilities Documentation or any other agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, the following provisions (the “Certain Funds Provisions”) will apply:

(a) the only representations and warranties that will be made on the Closing Date and the making and accuracy of which will be a condition to the initial availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date will be the Acquisition Agreement Representations and the Specified Representations; provided, that a failure of any Acquisition Agreement Representation to be accurate will not result in a failure of a Financing Condition or a default under the Facilities Documentation, unless such failure results (or resulted) in a failure of a condition precedent to Buyer’s (or its affiliates’) obligation to consummate the Acquisition or such failure gives (or gave) the Buyer the right (taking into account any notice and cure provisions) to terminate the Buyer’s (or its affiliates’) obligations, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement;

(b) the terms of the Facilities Documentation and the Closing Deliverables will be subject to the Documentation Principles, will contain no conditions to the initial funding of the Facilities other than the Financing Conditions, and in any event will be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date if the Financing Conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Lead Arrangers); it being understood that, (i) the attachment and perfection of any lien on Collateral (other than Collateral consisting of personal property) securing a secured facility is not a condition precedent to the availability of any Facility, will not affect the size of any Facility and will not result in a default under any Facility and (ii) if any lien on personal property Collateral securing a secured Facility does not attach or become perfected on the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, such attachment or such perfection will not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of any Facility, will not affect the size of any Facility and will not result in a default under any Facility, but will be required within 90 days after the Closing Date (subject to extensions agreed to by the Administrative Agents in their reasonable discretion); provided that the foregoing will not limit the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 5(b) and 5(d) of Exhibit E hereto, including requiring the authorization of “all asset” UCC and PPSA filings and delivery of certain equity securities constituting Collateral, in each case, with customary stock powers executed in blank; and

(c) there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments and agreements hereunder (including compliance with the terms of the Commitment Papers or the Facilities Documentation), other than the Financing Conditions, and upon satisfaction (or waiver by the Lead Arrangers) of the Financing Conditions, each of the Administrative Agents and the Initial Lenders and each other party thereto will execute and deliver the Facilities Documentation for such Facilities to be funded on the Closing Date to which it is a party and the initial funding under such Facilities will occur.

“Acquisition Agreement Representations” means such of the representations and warranties made by the Acquired Business with respect to the Acquired Business in the Acquisition Agreement to the extent a breach of

A-104

such representations and warranties is material and adverse to the interests of the Lenders (in their capacities as such).

“Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Borrower and Holdings set forth in the Facilities Documentation relating to their organizational existence, organizational power and authority (only as to execution, delivery and performance of the applicable Facilities Documentation and the extensions of credit thereunder), their due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability (against them) of the applicable Facilities Documentation, solvency on a consolidated basis as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions (consistent with the solvency certificate attached to this Commitment Letter), no conflicts of Facilities Documentation with their charter documents (as in effect upon consummation of, or immediately after consummation of, the Acquisition and the adoption of any related resolutions), compliance of the Transactions with Federal Reserve margin regulations, the Investment Company Act, the Patriot Act, use of proceeds not violating the OFAC and FCPA and the creation, attachment and perfection of security interests in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens and the Certain Funds Provisions).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Person shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts paid under the indemnification provisions of this Commitment Letter to such Indemnified Person and its Related Indemnified Persons for any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent such Indemnified Person and its Related Indemnified Persons is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof as finally determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, and, to the extent not a party hereto, the agreement of an Indemnified Party to this provision is a condition to the indemnity provided herein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, except to the extent

A-105

Notwithstanding anything in the Commitment Papers, you will have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Person for income taxes, franchise taxes or branch profits taxes incurred by such person in connection with the fees or other compensation such person receives in connection with the Commitment Papers, in each case as a result of any present or former connection between such Indemnified Person and the relevant taxing jurisdiction (other than a connection arising solely as a result of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Engagement Letter and/or any of the transactions contemplated thereunder). You will not be liable for any settlement of any Action effected without your prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that consent withheld for failure of any of the conditions in the immediately succeeding sentence to be true is reasonable)), but, if settled with your written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such Actions, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the indemnification provisions of this Commitment Letter. You will not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any Action in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Actions and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.

Upon and subject to the occurrence of the Closing Date and the initial funding of the Facilities, you agree to reimburse each Commitment Party for its reasonable and documented in reasonable detail out-of-pocket expenses (including expenses of each Commitment Party’s due diligence investigation, syndication expenses, travel expenses and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of the single counsel to the Commitment Parties identified in the Term Sheet and, if reasonably necessary, of a single local counsel to the Commitment Parties in each relevant material jurisdiction, which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple material jurisdictions and in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction), in each case, incurred solely in connection with due diligence and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Commitment Papers and the Facilities Documentation and any related definitive documentation (collectively, the “Expenses”). For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to reimburse the Commitment Parties for any Expenses in the event the Closing Date does not occur. You acknowledge that the Commitment Parties may receive a benefit, including, without limitation, a discount, credit or other accommodation, from any such counsel based on the fees such counsel may receive on account of their relationship with us, including without limitation, fees paid pursuant hereto.

You acknowledge that, in such capacity, each Borrower Financial Advisor may advise the Borrower in other manners adverse to the interests of the parties hereto. Each of the financial institutions hereto acknowledges (i) the retention of such entities as a Borrower Financial Advisor and (ii) that such relationship does not create any fiduciary duties or fiduciary responsibilities to such financial institution on the part of such entities or their affiliates.

$400 million ABL Facility

$2,100 million First Lien Term Facility

“Transaction Description”¹

It is intended that:

(a) The Buyer, which will be formed at the direction of Xxxxxxx Park II Acquisition Corp. (the “SPAC”), will, directly or indirectly, acquire (the “Acquisition”) the Acquired Business pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, between the Buyer, the SPAC, Advantage Solutions Inc. and Karman Topco, L.P. (including all schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, and as amended or modified from time to time in a manner that would not result in a failure of the condition precedent set forth in paragraph 1 of the Conditions Annex, the “Acquisition Agreement”);

(b) The SPAC, the Sponsors, members of management of the Acquired Business and other equity investors (collectively, the “Investors”) will, directly or indirectly, contribute to the Buyer (or a direct or indirect parent of the Buyer) cash and/or rollover equity in exchange for common or preferred equity constituting Disqualified Equity Interests (as defined in the First Lien Documents) of the Borrower (or such direct or indirect parent), which, with respect to any preferred equity of the Borrower, if any, will be on terms reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers (the “Equity Contribution”). Any such parent will contribute, or cause to be contributed, all such cash and equity to the Borrower immediately after the initial funding of the Facilities and the consummation of the merger. The aggregate amount of the Equity Contribution will represent not less than 35% (the “Minimum Equity Contribution”) of the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the loans funded under the ABL Facility on the Closing Date, other than letters of credit and amounts borrowed to cash collateralize letters of credit, to fund any OID or fees pursuant to the “market flex” provisions of the Fee Letter or to fund working capital, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the term loans borrowed under the First Lien Term Facility on the Closing Date (and the gross cash proceeds of any debt securities issued by the Borrower on or prior to the Acquisition Date in lieu of the First Lien Term Facility), and (iii) the amount of such cash and fair market value of rollover equity contributed, in each case, on the Closing Date; provided that the amount of any First Lien Flex Increase (as defined in the Fee Letter) will be excluded;

•

obtain $400 million (or such lower amount as the Borrower may request) in commitments under a senior secured asset-based credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) having the terms materially consistent with those set forth in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached to this Commitment Letter as Exhibit B, including the terms of Exhibits C, D and F incorporated therein (the “ABL Term Sheet”);

•

obtain $2,100 million (or such lower amount as the Borrower may request and as such amount may be increased pursuant to a First Lien Flex Increase (as defined in the Fee Letter)) in aggregate principal amount of senior secured term loans (the “First Lien Term Facility”), having terms materially consistent with those set forth on the term sheet attached to the Commitment Letter as Exhibit C, including the terms of Exhibits B, D and F incorporated therein (the “First Lien Term Sheet” and, together with the ABL Term Sheet, and the Financing Conditions set forth as Exhibit F and the Certain Definitions set forth as Exhibit E, the “Term Sheets” and each, a “Term Sheet); provided that the

All capitalized terms used but not defined in this exhibit have the meanings given to them in the Commitment Letter to which this exhibit is attached, including the other exhibits thereto. In the event any such capitalized term is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this exhibit is determined by reference to the context in which it is used.

A-117

aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Term Loans to be funded on the Acquisition Date shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the gross cash proceeds of any debt securities issued by the Borrower on or prior to the Acquisition Date, which gross cash proceeds are available to consummate the Transactions on the Acquisition Date (a “First Lien Term Loan Decrease”); and

(d) The proceeds of the Equity Contribution, the initial borrowing under the ABL Facility (if any), the initial borrowing under the First Lien Term Facility and cash on hand at the Company and its subsidiaries on the Closing Date will be applied on the Closing Date to:

(i) finance the repayment of debt of the Acquired Business (and termination of commitments thereunder and release of all guarantees, liens and security interests related thereto) with respect to which the Acquisition Agreement requires the delivery of a payoff letter (the “Refinancing”); and

(ii) pay fees, costs and expenses related to the Transactions (such fees, costs and expenses, the “Transaction Costs”) and make such other payments as are contemplated on the Term Sheets.

The transactions described above, together with the transactions related thereto, are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.” The Term Sheets, which contain all material terms related to the Facilities, are the result of extensive negotiations among the parties hereto and the terms set forth therein are an integral and necessary part of the Transactions. The Transactions as a whole, including the Acquisition, constitute a unique opportunity for the SPAC and the Borrower. For purposes of the Commitment Papers, (i) “Acquisition Date” means the date or time that the Acquisition is consummated pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, (ii) “Closing Date” means the date the initial funding under (a) the ABL Facility and (b) the First Lien Term Facility, and (iii) “Facilities” means, collectively, the ABL Facility and the First Lien Term Facility and “Facility” means either of them. All references to (a) “dollars” and “$” are to the lawful currency of the United States of America and (b) “Alternative Currencies” means currencies other than dollars from time to time agreed by the Borrower, the applicable Administrative Agent and (i) if in connection with the ABL Facility or any Incremental ABL Facility, the ABL Lenders (including the lenders providing such Incremental ABL Facility, if applicable), the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks and (ii) if in connection with any Incremental First Lien Term Facility, the lenders providing such Incremental First Lien Term Facility.

CONFIDENTIAL		EXHIBIT B

Project Catapult

$400 million ABL Facility

Term Sheet¹


Borrower:		Advantage Sales & Marketing Inc. (the “Borrower”) and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of a domestic entity (“Holdings”).

Lead Arrangers:		BofA Securities, MSSF and DBSI and such other arrangers appointed by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letter (together with their designated affiliates, the “Lead Arrangers”).

Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent:		Bank of America will act as sole administrative agent and sole collateral agent (in such capacities, the “ABL Administrative Agent”) for the ABL Lenders (as defined below) providing the ABL Facility as described in this Term Sheet.

Transactions:		As described in the “Transaction Description” attached to the Commitment Letter.

Lenders:		Bank of America or its affiliate(s), MSSF or its affiliate(s) and DBSI or its affiliate(s) and a syndicate of financial institutions and other lenders (the “ABL Lenders”) arranged by the Lead Arrangers and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), including Relationship Lenders and excluding Disqualified Lenders.

ABL Facility:		A senior secured asset-based credit facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $400 million (the “ABL Facility” and the loans thereunder the “ABL Loans”). Amounts under the ABL Facility will initially be available in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars and, after the Closing Date, in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars and other Alternative Currencies agreed to by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each ABL Lender providing such loans.

Letters of Credit:		An amount equal to $150 million (or such higher amount as the Borrower and the ABL Lenders may agree) of the ABL Facility will be available to the Borrower in the form of letters of credit. Letters of credit will be issued by each of the ABL Lenders (pro rata based on their respective commitments thereunder) (in such capacity, the “Issuing Banks”). Each letter of credit will be denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or an Alternative Currency and, except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, will expire not later than the earlier of (a) twelve months after its date of issuance and (b) the fifth business day prior to the final maturity of the ABL Facility; provided, however, that any letter of credit may provide for renewal thereof for additional periods of up to twelve months on customary terms (which in no event will

A-119


		extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above unless cash collateral or other assurances have been provided to the applicable Issuing Bank). Drawings under any letter of credit will be reimbursed by the Borrower within one business day or if not reimbursed will automatically increase the ABL Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed by an ABL Lender in its sole discretion, such ABL Lender (in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) shall not be required to issue letters of credit other than standby letters of credit. The face amount of any outstanding letter of credit (and, without duplication, any unpaid drawing in respect thereto) will reduce availability under the ABL Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

Swingline Facility:		In connection with the ABL Facility, the ABL Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Swingline Lender”) will make available to the Borrower a swingline facility under which the Borrower may make short-term borrowings of up to $40 million (or such higher amount as the Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent may agree). Except for purposes of calculating the commitment fee described below, any such swingline borrowings will reduce availability under the ABL Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The Lenders will be unconditionally obligated to purchase participations in any swingline loan pro rata based upon their commitments under the ABL Facility.

Incremental ABL Facilities:		The ABL Loan Documents will permit the Borrower to increase commitments under the ABL Facility (any such increase, an “Incremental ABL Facility”) in minimum amounts consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles. The aggregate principal amount of Incremental ABL Facilities outstanding on any date commitments with respect to such facilities are received may not exceed the greater of (i) $175 million and (ii) the Borrowing Base then in effect. The Incremental ABL Facilities will be available at the request of the Borrower with consent required only from those lenders that agree, in their discretion, to participate in such Incremental ABL Facility. Lenders providing an Incremental ABL Facility will be reasonably acceptable to (a) the Borrower, (b) the ABL Administrative Agent, and (c) the Issuing Banks and Swingline Lenders (but, in each case of clauses (b) and (c), only to the extent such person would otherwise have a consent right to an assignment of such loans or commitments to such lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The incurrence of indebtedness under an Incremental ABL Facility will be subject to only the following conditions and to any other conditions agreed between the lenders under the Incremental ABL Facility and the Borrower, measured on the date commitments with respect to such facilities are received, in each case subject to the Borrower’s LCA Election rights: (i) no event of default will have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, and (ii) all representations and warranties must be true and correct in all material respects immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Facility; provided that if such incurrence is in connection with a

A-120


		Permitted Acquisition, Acquisition Transaction (to be defined in a manner consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles) or other permitted investment or acquisition (collectively, “Permitted Investments”, and each a “Permitted Investment”) the condition set forth in clause (i) may be waived by the providers of any such Incremental ABL Facility (other than an event of default resulting from non-payment of principal or interest under the ABL Facilities or bankruptcy of the Borrower (such events of default, “Specified Events of Default”)) and the condition set forth in clause (ii) may be made subject to customary “certain funds” provisions; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Borrowing Base requirement shall be satisfied according to the terms hereof without regard to the “certain funds” provisions. The ABL Loan Documents will also require that, except with respect to any commitment, arrangement, upfront or similar fees that may be agreed to among the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental ABL Facility, all other terms of any Incremental ABL Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the ABL Facility. The ABL Loan Documents may be amended as may be necessary to give effect to any Incremental ABL Facility with the consent of the Borrower and lenders providing such Incremental ABL Facility.

Purpose:		The letters of credit and proceeds of the ABL Loans will be used by the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries on and after the Closing Date for working capital and general corporate purposes (including permitted acquisitions and other transactions not prohibited by the ABL Loan Documents); provided that the amount of drawings under ABL Facility on the Closing Date will be limited as set forth in the following paragraph; provided further that the amount of drawings under the ABL Facility on and after the Closing Date will be limited as set forth under the caption “Availability”. Loans and letters of credit under the ABL Facility shall be made available on and after the Closing Date (subject to the Closing Borrowing Base or, if a Borrowing Base Certificate shall have been delivered, the Borrowing Base, as applicable; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, availability shall always be subject to either the Closing Borrowing Base or the Borrowing Base); provided, further, that on the Closing Date, the amount of drawings under the ABL Facility will be limited to $50 million plus the sum of the following amounts (i) for replacing and/or backstopping existing letters of credit and refinancing any revolving facility of the Company or its subsidiaries (with respect to any such refinancing of any revolving facility in an amount not to exceed $50 million in the aggregate), (ii) to finance working capital needs on the Closing Date, (iii) to fund any OID or fees pursuant to the “market flex” provisions in the Fee Letter and (iv) an additional amount (not to exceed $100 million) equal to the redemptions of equity of the SPAC.

		Letters of credit will be used by the Borrower for general corporate purposes, including supporting transactions not prohibited by the First Lien Loan Documents.

A-121

ABL Documentation Principles:

The definitive documentation for the ABL Facility (the “ABL Loan Documents”) will (a) be initially prepared by counsel to the Borrower, (b) contain only the terms and conditions set forth in this Exhibit B, (c) reflect the operational and strategic requirements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries in light of their consolidated capital structure, size, geographic location, businesses and business practices, operations, financial accounting, matters disclosed in the Acquisition Agreement and the proposed business plan (including the sponsor model dated as of August 5, 2020 (the “Sponsor Model”) and investment thesis) and the industry and practices of Borrower, in each case, after giving effect to the Transactions, (d) be consistent with the proposed business plan, Sponsor Model and projections, in each case delivered to the Commitment Parties prior to the date of the Commitment Letter, (e) be based on, and, with respect to non-ABL Facility terms, no less favorable (except as expressly set forth in this Exhibit B) to, the Company and its subsidiaries than the documentation for the First Lien Term Facility as set forth on Exhibit C (provided that terms specific to asset based revolving facilities shall be based on, and giving due regard to, those set forth in the draft documentation dated as of February 20, 2020 previously provided to you titled “ABL Revolving Credit Agreement” by and among Karman Intermediate Corp. as Holdings, Advantages Sales & Marketing Inc. as the Borrower (the “ABL Identified Precedent”), (f) contain those covenant “baskets” and exceptions set forth in the documentation for the First Lien Term Facility (except to the extent expressly set forth in this Exhibit B, including for the avoidance of doubt replacement of unlimited incurrence ratios (other than debt and liens) and any available amount builder basket with baskets based on Payment Conditions); provided, the ABL Loan Documents will be modified as necessary (i) (x) to take into account any changes in law or accounting standards and (y) to reflect customary modifications to the operational and agency provisions to reflect the requirements of the ABL Administrative Agent and (ii) to reflect customary provisions relating to the Canadian Loan Parties (as defined below). The foregoing is referred to herein, collectively, as the “ABL Documentation Principles.” Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Term Sheet shall have meanings given to them in the documentation for the First Lien Term Facility as set forth on Exhibit C (or with respect to capitalized terms specific to asset-based revolving facilities, consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles). The ABL Loan Documents will contain only those payment provisions, conditions to borrowing, mandatory prepayments, representations and warranties, covenants, events of default and guarantee and collateral provisions expressly set forth in this Exhibit B, in each case, applicable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries to the extent set forth herein (and to the extent set forth below, Holdings) and with standards, qualifications, thresholds, exceptions, “baskets” and grace and cure periods consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles.

For purposes of the ABL Loan Documents, if any “market flex” provisions are exercised with respect to the First Lien Term Facility, whether before or after the Closing Date, the applicable incurrence based covenant levels based on leverage shall be adjusted in the ABL Loan

A-122


		Documents (or pursuant to an amendment thereto, which shall require only the consent of the Borrower and the First Lien Administrative Agent) in order to make corresponding adjustments to account for additional indebtedness and any OID or upfront fees and to maintain the agreed cushions and/or reflect the adjusted “Closing Date” leverage levels (or offset thereto) resulting from the exercise of such “market flex” terms.

Availability:		Loans under the ABL Facility will be available, subject to the Closing Borrowing Base or Borrowing Base, as applicable, at any time prior to the final maturity of the ABL Facility, in minimum principal amounts consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles; provided that the aggregate amount of borrowings on the Closing Date shall be limited as set forth under the heading “Purpose” above. Amounts repaid under the ABL Facility may be reborrowed, subject to the then-applicable Closing Borrowing Base or Borrowing Base, as applicable.

Closing Borrowing Base:		The borrowing base for purposes of drawings and letters of credit under the ABL Facility on the Closing Date (the “Closing Borrowing Base”) will be equal to $250 million. The Closing Borrowing Base shall be in effect until the earlier of (i) 90 days after the Closing Date and (ii) receipt by the ABL Administrative Agent of (and reasonable opportunity to review) an initial field examination consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles and a Borrowing Base Certificate with respect thereof; provided, that in the event that the ABL Administrative Agent has not received such initial field examination within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Borrowing Base (as defined below) shall be deemed to be $0 until such initial field examination appraisal (and a Borrowing Base Certificate with respect thereof) is delivered.

Borrowing Base:		Subject to receipt by the ABL Administrative Agent of the initial field examination, the borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base”) at any time shall equal the sum of the following: (a) (i) in the case of investment grade eligible billed receivables, 90% of the dollar equivalent of the face amount of such eligible receivables of the Loan Parties; (ii) in the case of other eligible billed receivables, 85% of the dollar equivalent of the face amount of such eligible receivables of the Loan Parties; and (iii) in the case of eligible unbilled receivables, 75% of the dollar equivalent of the face amount of such eligible receivables of the Loan Parties (in each case, calculated net of all finance charges, late fees and other fees that are unearned, sales, excise or similar taxes, and credits or allowances granted at such time, but without duplication of eligibility criteria or Reserves), provided that the amount calculated pursuant to clause (iii) shall not exceed 30% of the Borrowing Base at any time; plus (b) 100% of qualified cash of the Loan Parties (which shall be in a blocked account of the ABL Administrative Agent, or in a blocked account at another institution reasonably acceptable to the ABL Administrative Agent subject to customary reporting in connection with (i) the delivery of a borrowing base certificate, (ii) any request for a credit extension and (iii) any action incurred in reliance on the Payment Conditions (as defined below)); minus

A-123

(d) Eligible Reserves (as defined below).

Eligibility criteria for eligible receivables and qualified cash included in the Borrowing Base shall be set forth in the ABL Loan Documents in a manner consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles.

The Borrowing Base will be computed by the Borrower monthly (or more frequently if the Borrower in its sole discretion shall so elect and, if so elected, continued on such basis for at least 60 consecutive days), and a certificate (the “Borrowing Base Certificate”) presenting the Borrower’s computation of the Borrowing Base will be delivered to the ABL Administrative Agent no event later than the 20^th day following the end of each calendar month; provided, however, that (i) while any Delivery Condition (as defined below) applies, the Borrower will be required to compute the Borrowing Base and deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate on a weekly basis by Thursday of the following week for so long as such Delivery Condition applies and (ii) during the continuance of a Specified Default, the Borrower will be required to compute the Borrowing Base and deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate as frequently as reasonably requested by the ABL Administrative Agent (but not more frequently than on a weekly basis) and only for so long as such Specified Default is continuing.

“Delivery Condition” means (a) the period from the date that Specified Excess Availability shall have been less than the greater of (i) $31.25 million and (ii) 12.5% of the Maximum Borrowing Amount for five consecutive business days to the date that Specified Excess Availability shall have been no less than the greater of (i) $31.25 million and (ii) 12.5% of the Maximum Borrowing Amount for twenty consecutive calendar days.

“Maximum Borrowing Amount” shall mean the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of the aggregate Revolving Commitments at such time and (b) the Borrowing Base then in effect.

Any Current Asset Collateral subject to a first lien (other than permitted liens) in favor of the ABL Administrative Agent (“Acquired Asset Borrowing Base”) acquired by any Loan Party in a permitted acquisition shall be immediately included in the Borrowing Base applying eligibility and reserve criteria consistent with those applied to the calculation of the Borrowing Base; provided, that (i) prior to completion of a field examination with respect to any such acquired Current Asset Collateral, the applicable Acquired Asset Borrowing Base shall be limited to 20% of the Borrowing Base and (ii) in the event that the ABL Administrative Agent has not received such initial field examination within 90 days after the date of any such acquisition, the applicable Acquired Asset Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be $0 until such initial field examination is delivered.

The ABL Administrative Agent will have the right to establish and modify Eligible Reserves against the Borrowing Base assets in its Permitted Discretion, with five business days prior written notice to the

A-124

Borrower (which notice will include a reasonably detailed description of the reserve being established). During such five business day period, the ABL Administrative Agent will, if requested, discuss any such reserve or change with the Borrower, and the Borrower may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such reserve or change no longer exists or exists in a manner that would result in the establishment of a lower reserve or result in a lesser change, in each case, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the ABL Administrative Agent; provided that the Borrower shall not be permitted to request any credit extension during such notice period if it would result in the aggregate amount of outstanding loans, unreimbursed letter of credit drawings and undrawn letters of credit under the ABL Facility to exceed the Maximum Borrowing Amount after giving pro forma effect to the implementation of such reserve. For purposes of the foregoing, “Eligible Reserves” means amounts that the ABL Administrative Agent may from time to time establish in accordance with the ABL Documentation Principles; provided that they are established in a manner that reflects changes in the ability of the ABL Administrative Agent to realize upon the Collateral included in the Borrowing Base.

“Permitted Discretion” means reasonable credit judgment in accordance with customary business practices for comparable asset-based lending transactions; provided that, as it relates to the establishment of new reserves (other than reserves that are expressly included in the definition of “reserves” (to be defined in the ABL Loan Documents in a manner consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles)) or the adjustment or imposition of exclusionary criteria, Permitted Discretion will require that (a) such establishment, adjustment or imposition after the Closing Date be based on the analysis of facts or events first occurring or first discovered by the ABL Administrative Agent after the Closing Date or are materially different from facts or events known to the ABL Administrative Agent on the Closing Date, (b) the amount of any such reserve so established or the effect of any adjustment or imposition of exclusionary criteria be a reasonable quantification of changes in the ability of the ABL Administrative Agent to realize upon the Collateral included in the Borrowing Base and (c) no reserves or changes will be duplicative of reserves or changes already accounted for through eligibility criteria (including collection/advance rates).

“Specified Default” shall mean any payment or bankruptcy event of default with respect to the Loan Parties under the ABL Facility, any event of default arising from failure to comply with the financial covenant, any event of default arising from a failure to deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate or any material misrepresentation therein or any event of default arising from a failure to comply with the cash management provisions, in each case, when required and after the expiry of any applicable cure period.

The eligibility criteria for receivables shall be consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles; provided that: the time-based exclusion shall apply to accounts with respect to which more than 120 days have elapsed from the original invoice date thereof or which is more than 60 days past

A-125


		due after the original due date, except that up to $30.0 million of receivables with respect to which more than 120 days, but not more than 150 days, have elapsed from the original invoice date shall be deemed eligible.

Ranking:		The obligations under the ABL Facility and the ABL Guarantees (as defined below) will be senior obligations of the Loan Parties and secured by the following: (a) a first-priority security interest in the Current Asset Collateral and (b) a second-priority security interest in the Fixed Asset Collateral. The lien priority, relative rights and other creditors’ rights in respect of the Collateral securing the ABL Facility and the First Lien Term Facility will be set forth in one or more customary intercreditor agreements (the “Intercreditor Agreements”), which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Intercreditor Agreements will (i) permit additional secured indebtedness of the Loan Parties, which indebtedness is permitted to be incurred and secured (including with respect to the lien priority thereof) pursuant to the terms of the ABL Loan Documents and the First Lien Loan Documents, (ii) permit refinancing indebtedness in respect of the ABL Facility and the First Lien Term or any of the foregoing permitted additional secured indebtedness referenced in clause (i), (iii) not impose any restrictions on amendments of the ABL Loan Documents and the First Lien Loan Documents (other than amendments which would conflict with the Intercreditor Agreements) and (iv) otherwise contain usual and customary terms reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the other secured parties party thereto.

		“Current Asset Collateral” shall mean Collateral comprising (i) accounts receivable (except to the extent constituting proceeds of Fixed Asset Collateral), (ii) inventory, (iii) deposit accounts, securities accounts and commodities accounts (including all cash or other funds on deposit therein, except any such accounts which hold solely identifiable proceeds of Fixed Asset Collateral) and (iv) general intangibles (other than intellectual property, capital stock and intercompany loans), chattel paper, instruments, documents, commercial tort claims, letter of credit rights, supporting obligations, and other assets, in each case to the extent related to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) and that are owned by a Loan Party or in which a Loan Party otherwise has rights, but not, for the avoidance of doubt, including capital stock of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries. “Fixed Asset Collateral” shall mean all Collateral of the Loan Parties other than the Current Asset Collateral (including, to the extent constituting Collateral, real property, intellectual property, equipment, a pledge of the capital stock of each Loan Party’s direct wholly-owned subsidiaries).

Interest Rates and Fees:		As set forth on Annex I to the Fee Letter.

Maturity:		The ABL Facility will mature on the 5th anniversary of the Closing Date and all outstanding amounts thereunder shall be due and payable on such date; provided that the ABL Loan Documents shall provide the right for the Borrower to extend commitments and/or outstandings under the ABL Facility pursuant to one or more tranches with only the consent of the respective extending ABL Lenders and the ABL Administrative Agent.

A-126



Guarantees:		All obligations of the Borrower under the ABL Facility and of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries under certain interest rate protection or other hedging arrangements (including with respect to currency) entered into with a person that is the ABL Administrative Agent or an ABL Lender or any affiliate of the ABL Administrative Agent or an ABL Lender at the time of entering into such arrangements (collectively, the “Hedging Arrangements”) and certain cash management arrangements entered into with a person that is the ABL Administrative Agent or a ABL Lender or any affiliate of any the ABL Administrative Agent or a ABL Lender at the time of entering into such arrangements (collectively, the “Cash Management Arrangements” and, together with the Hedging Arrangements, the “Secured Agreements”), will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis (the “ABL Guarantees”) by Holdings and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized wholly-owned material U.S. and Canadian domestic subsidiary of the Borrower, subject to the ABL Documentation Principles and other than Excluded Subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with Holdings, the “Guarantors” and the Guarantors together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties” and the Loan Parties organized in Canada, the “Canadian Loan Parties”). The ABL Facility Documentation will provide that the term “FSHCO” means any direct or indirect subsidiary of Holdings that has no material assets other than equity interests (or equity interests and indebtedness) of one or more non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Borrower (other than Canadian subsidiaries) that are “controlled foreign corporations” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code or other FSHCOs. Neither the Acquired Business nor any of its subsidiaries will be Loan Parties prior to the consummation of the Acquisition and the initial funding of the Facilities.

Security:		Subject to the Certain Funds Provisions, the obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of the ABL Facility, the ABL Guarantees and the Secured Agreements will be secured jointly and severally (subject to permitted liens) by substantially all of the personal property of the Loan Parties, wherever located, now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”), with the priority as set forth under the heading “Ranking” above and on terms and conditions (including as to exceptions, grace periods, limitations and materiality thresholds) the same as those set forth in the Identified Precedent in accordance with the ABL Documentation Principles and the Security Agreement (as defined in the ABL Identified Precedent).

Cash Management/Cash Dominion:		The Borrower shall be required to obtain account control agreements on the primary U.S. and Canadian concentration accounts and other material deposit accounts consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles (and subject to exceptions consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles) of the Borrower and the ABL Guarantors within 90 days of the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be agreed by the ABL Administrative Agent). If such arrangements are not obtained within 90 days after the Closing Date, subject to extensions agreed to by the ABL Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall be required to move its bank accounts to the ABL Administrative Agent or another bank that has executed such control agreements.

A-127


		During a Cash Dominion Period (as defined below) and after delivery of a written notice by the ABL Administrative Agent to the Borrower, all amounts in controlled concentration accounts (or in any other material deposit account which are not swept on a daily basis into a concentration account) will be swept into a collection account maintained with the ABL Administrative Agent and used to repay borrowings under the ABL Facility, subject to customary exceptions and thresholds (which shall include maintenance of funds by the Borrower and ABL Guarantors, subject to customary limitations consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles). “Cash Dominion Period” means (a) the period from the date that Specified Excess Availability shall have been less than the greater of (i) $25 million and (ii) 10% of the Maximum Borrowing Amount for five consecutive business days to the date that Specified Excess Availability shall have been no less than the greater of (i) $25 million and (ii) 10% of the Maximum Borrowing Amount for twenty consecutive calendar days or (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Default until such Specified Default has been cured or waived. “Excess Availability” shall mean, at any time, the remainder of (a) the Maximum Borrowing Amount, minus (b) the sum of (i) aggregate principal amount of all ABL Loans (including Swing Line Loans) then outstanding and (ii) all amounts outstanding under letters of credit (including issued and undrawn letters of credit) at such time. “Specified Excess Availability” means the sum of (a) Excess Availability at such time plus (b) Suppressed Availability (which shall not be less than zero) at such time. “Suppressed Availability” means an amount, if positive, by which the Borrowing Base exceeds the aggregate amount of the commitments under the ABL Facility; provided, for the purposes of calculating Specified Excess Availability, Suppressed Availability shall not exceed 2.5% of the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility at any time.

Mandatory Prepayments:		If at any time, the aggregate amount of outstanding loans, unreimbursed letter of credit drawings and undrawn letters of credit under the ABL Facility exceeds the Maximum Borrowing Amount, then the Borrower will within one business day repay outstanding loans and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, with no reduction of the commitments.

Voluntary Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments:		Voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the ABL Facility commitments and prepayments of borrowings under the ABL Facility will be permitted at any time (subject to customary notice requirements) in minimum principal amounts consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the ABL Lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs actually incurred in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR borrowings prior to the last day of the relevant interest period.

		the 20 consecutive calendar days immediately prior to such transaction, also on a pro forma basis. Dollar baskets will include a growing concept based on LTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or, at Borrower’s election prior to the launch of general syndication, consolidated total assets. The general basket for restricted payments may alternatively be used for investments and/or prepayments of Junior Financing, and the general basket for prepayments of Junior Financing may alternatively be used for investments. The Borrower will be permitted to reclassify its debt and liens (other than debt under and liens securing the First Lien Term Facility and the ABL Facility), investments, restricted payments and payments of Junior Financing among baskets within each covenant without limitation. Compliance with a negative covenant in the ABL Loan Documents may be permitted in part by one basket or exception and in part by another, in the Borrower’s discretion, and the Borrower may designate and redesignate (on or after any applicable date) the baskets or exceptions available to it on such date (or any later date) upon which compliance is based. Unless the Borrower elects otherwise, compliance will be deemed to be first pursuant to a basket or exception based on a financial ratio (to the maximum extent permitted by such basket or exception) prior to being determined to pursuant to any other basket or exception, including those based on a fixed dollar amount. Agents will execute intercreditor agreements upon request. The ABL Loan Documents will contain “limited condition transaction” provisions consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles, which will allow the Borrower to elect (an “LCA Election,” and the date of such election, an “LCA Election Date”) to test compliance with any ratio, accuracy of representation, absence of default or event of default or other condition precedent (other than (i) any determination of Specified Excess Availability as a component of the Payment Conditions or (ii) any determination of Excess Availability as a condition precedent to a credit extension) in connection with a Permitted Investment as of the date of execution of a definitive agreement for such Permitted Investment. Indebtedness under revolving, delayed draw and other committed facilities may be incurred from time to time if the full amount of such facility was permitted to be incurred on the date commitments with respect to such facilities were obtained (and compliance will not need to be tested on any subsequent date).

Financial Covenant:		Limited to the following: Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Covenant Trigger Event, the ratio (the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”) of (a) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA minus cash taxes minus non-financed cash capital expenditures (excluding capital expenditures funded by landlords or with respect to client-funded technology of Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries) to (b) consolidated cash interest expense (net of cash interest income) plus scheduled cash principal amortization of indebtedness for

A-134

borrowed money (other than intercompany indebtedness) plus scheduled payments of principal and interest on account of capital leases plus solely for purposes of testing Payment Conditions in connection with a restricted payment, restricted payments made during such period in reliance on the Payment Conditions, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for which financial statements are required to be delivered or, with respect to the date of any Covenant Trigger Event, the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter prior to such date for which financial statements have been delivered, shall not be less than 1.00:1.00 on a trailing four quarter basis.

A Covenant Trigger Event will occur if Specified Excess Availability shall be less than the greater of (a) 10% of the Maximum Borrowing Amount and (b) $25 million at any time (commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ended after the Closing Date) and shall continue until Specified Excess Availability is equal to or exceeds such amount for thirty consecutive days.

For purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, any cash equity contribution (which equity shall be common equity or other equity on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the ABL Administrative Agent) made to the Borrower after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter and not otherwise applied and on or prior to the day that is 10 business days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for a fiscal quarter or fiscal year and designated on the date of such contribution as a Specified Equity Contribution (as defined below) will, at the request of the Borrower, be included in the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the purposes of determining compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent periods (any such equity contribution so included in the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided only that (a) no more than two Specified Equity Contributions may be made in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and no more than five Specified Equity Contributions may be made during the term of the ABL Facility, (b) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenant for the relevant fiscal quarter (c) all Specified Equity Contributions shall be disregarded for purposes of determining pricing, financial ratio-based conditions or any baskets with respect to the covenants contained in the ABL Facility Documentation and (d) there shall be no pro forma reduction in indebtedness with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution for determining compliance with the financial covenant.

The ABL Credit Documentation will contain a standstill provision with regard to exercise of remedies (and no borrowings or issuances of Letters of Credit shall be permitted during the standstill period (without Required ABL Lender (as defined below) consent)) during the period in which any Specified Equity Contribution will be made after the receipt of written notice by the ABL Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s intention to cure a financial covenant default with proceeds of a Specified Equity

A-135


		Contribution; provided, however, that such standstill shall be solely with respect to a breach of the financial covenant to which such Specified Equity Contribution applies.

Unrestricted Subsidiaries:		Subject only to no continuing Specified Event of Default, the Borrower will be permitted to designate (or re-designate) any existing or subsequently acquired or organized restricted subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and designate (or re-designate) any such unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary provided only that (a) no Specified Default exists or would result therefrom and (b) if such designation or re-designation would result in a reduction in Excess Availability of 10% or more, the Borrower shall submit an updated Borrowing Base Certificate at the time the designation or re-designation is made. The designation of any unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary will be deemed to be an incurrence at the time of such designation of indebtedness of such subsidiary or of liens on the assets of such subsidiary, in each case, outstanding on the date of such designation. The designation of any subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary will constitute an investment in an amount equal to the fair market value of the subsidiary designated for purposes of the investments negative covenant. Unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to the representations and warranties, covenants or events of default of the ABL Loan Documents, the results of operations and indebtedness of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of determining any financial ratio or covenant contained in the ABL Loan Documents and any cash or cash equivalents of any unrestricted subsidiary will not be taken into account for purposes of any net debt test under the ABL Loan Documents. Any unrestricted subsidiary must also be unrestricted under the First Lien Term Facility (or any replacement or refinancing facilities in respect thereof and in effect at the time of such designation).

Events of Default:		Limited to the following (to be applicable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries and, in limited circumstances, Holdings) (subject to certain exceptions limitations and qualifications to be set forth in the First Lien Term Loan Documents, as well customary additions relating to the Canadian Loan Parties): nonpayment of principal, interest and fees (with a five business day grace period for interest and fees); failure to perform negative covenants, and affirmative covenants to provide notice of default or maintain the Borrower’s corporate existence; failure to deliver the Borrowing Base Certificate (subject to a 5-business-day cure period or, in the case of a Borrowing Base Certificate delivered on a weekly basis, a 3-business day cure period); failure to comply with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (if applicable); failure to comply with the cash management provisions herein; failure to perform other covenants subject to a 30 day cure period after the date on which written notice of default from the ABL Administrative Agent is received; any representation or warranty incorrect in any material respect when made (with a 30 day cure period (with respect to such breaches of representations and warranties that are curable and other than the Specified Representations and the Acquisition Agreement Representations on the Closing Date) at the end of which such representation or warranty must be accurate in all material respects); cross-default to continuing defaults under material indebtedness

$2,100 million First Lien Term Facility

First Lien Term Sheet¹


Borrower:		Advantage Sales & Marketing Inc. (the “Borrower”) and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary a domestic entity (“Holdings”).

Lead Arrangers:		BofA Securities, MSSF, DBSI and such other arrangers appointed by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letter (together with their designated affiliates, the “Lead Arrangers”).

Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent:		Bank of America will act as the sole administrative agent and sole collateral agent (in such capacities, the “First Lien Administrative Agent”) for the First Lien Lenders (as defined below) under the First Lien Term Facility described in this Term Sheet.

Transactions:		As described in the “Transaction Description” attached to the Commitment Letter.

Lenders:		A syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders (collectively, the “First Lien Lenders”) initially arranged by the Arrangers and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), including Relationship Lenders and excluding Disqualified Lenders.

First Lien Term Facilities:		A senior secured first lien term loan facility (the “First Lien Term Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2,100 million (or such lower amount as a result of a First Lien Term Loan Decrease or as the Borrower may otherwise request), plus at the Borrower’s election, any First Lien Flex Increase. Loans under the First Lien Term Facility (“First Lien Term Loans”) will be available to the Borrower in U.S. dollars.

Incremental Facilities:		The First Lien Term Loan Documents will permit the Borrower to add one or more incremental term facilities (the “Incremental Term Facilities”) in minimum amounts consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles. The aggregate principal amount of an Incremental Term Facility outstanding on the first date it is incurred or commitments with respect thereto are made, may not exceed the Incremental Facility Cap. “Closing Date EBITDA” means $510 million. “Closing Date First Lien Net Leverage Ratio” means, as shall be adjusted for any Flex Increase, 4.00:1.00. “Closing Date Secured Net Leverage Ratio” means, as shall be adjusted for any Flex Increase, 4.00:1.00.

A-140

“Closing Date Total Net Leverage Ratio” means, as shall be adjusted for any Flex Increase, 4.00:1.00.

“Fixed Incremental Amount” means the sum of (a) the greater of (i) 100% of Closing Date EBITDA and (ii) 100% of LTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available, plus (b) the aggregate principal amount of voluntary prepayments, redemptions and repurchases (including amounts paid pursuant to “yank-a-bank” provisions with credit given to the amount actually paid in cash, if acquired below par) of First Lien Term Loans, loans under the ABL Facility (as defined in the Transaction Description) or any other revolving facility that is secured on a pari passu basis with the ABL Facility or the First Lien Term Facility (with a corresponding permanent commitment reduction), obligations that are secured on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Term Facility and other secured debt that is secured on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Term Facilities, in each case, except to the extent such prepayments were funded with the proceeds of long-term indebtedness of the Borrower or any restricted subsidiaries minus (c) the sum of (i) Incremental Equivalent Debt (as defined below) incurred and then outstanding in reliance on the Fixed Incremental Amount under the First Lien Term Facility), plus (ii) Indebtedness incurred and then outstanding under the corresponding debt basket.

“Incremental Facility Cap” means an amount equal to the Fixed Incremental Amount plus the Ratio Incremental Amount.

“LTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” means, as of any date of determination, the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries, determined on a pro forma basis, for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to such date for which financial statements are internally available.

“Ratio Incremental Amount” means such amount as would not result in:

(i) with respect to any Incremental Term Facilities or Incremental Equivalent Debt secured on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Term Loans, the Borrower’s First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (to be defined in a manner consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles) for the applicable Test Period (to be defined in a manner consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles) exceeding (I) the Closing Date First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or (II) the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence;

(ii) with respect to any Incremental Term Facilities or Incremental Equivalent Debt secured on a junior basis to the First Lien Term Loans, either the Borrower’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio (to be defined in a manner consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles) exceeding (I) the Closing Date Secured Net Leverage Ratio or (II) the Secured Net Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence; or

A-141

(iii) with respect to any unsecured Incremental Term Facilities (or Incremental Equivalent Debt) or secured Incremental Term Facilities (or Incremental Equivalent Debt) on assets that are not Collateral (as defined below), either the Borrower’s (a) Total Net Leverage Ratio (to be defined in a manner consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles) exceeding (I) the Closing Date Total Net Leverage Ratio or (II) the Total Net Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence; or (b) the Interest Coverage Ratio (to be defined in a manner consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles) for the applicable Test Period being less than (I) 2.00:1.00 or (II) the Interest Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence;

in each case, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof and measured as of and for the Test Period immediately preceding the issuance, incurrence or assumption of such Indebtedness for which internal financial statements are available, but excluding the cash proceeds to the Borrower or any such Incremental Facility for cash netting purposes.

If the Borrower incurs indebtedness under an Incremental Term Facility (or Incremental Equivalent Debt) using the Fixed Incremental Amount on the same date that it incurs indebtedness using the Ratio Incremental Amount, the relevant ratio above will be calculated without regard to any incurrence of indebtedness under the Fixed Incremental Amount. Unless the Borrower elects otherwise, each Incremental Term Facility (or Incremental Equivalent Debt) will be deemed incurred first as Ratio Incremental Amount to the extent permitted (and calculated prior to giving effect to any simultaneous or subsequent incurrence of any indebtedness based on a basket or exception that is not based on a financial ratio, including the (i) Fixed Incremental Amount or (ii) under the ABL Facility), with any balance incurred under the Fixed Incremental Amount. The Borrower may classify, and may later reclassify, indebtedness incurred under an Incremental Term Facility (or Incremental Equivalent Debt) as incurred as a Fixed Incremental Amount, Ratio Incremental Amount, or both, on the date of incurrence and thereafter, to the extent permitted on the date of classification (or the date of any such reclassification).

Incremental Term Facilities may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment with the Initial Term Loans (as defined below), may either be unsecured or secured by a permitted lien that is pari passu with or junior to any liens on such assets securing other First Lien Term Loans and may be guaranteed by Holdings, the Borrower and/or any restricted subsidiary of the Borrower that guarantees other First Lien Term Loans.

The Incremental Term Facilities will be available at the request of the Borrower with consent required only from those existing or new lenders that agree, in their discretion, to participate in such Incremental Term Facility. Lenders providing a first lien Incremental Term Facility will be reasonably acceptable to (a) the

A-142

Borrower and (b) the First Lien Administrative Agent (but only to the extent such person would otherwise have a consent right to an assignment of such loans or commitments to such lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The First Lien Term Loan Documents may be amended as may be necessary to give effect to any Incremental Term Facility with the consent of the Borrower and lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility, including such amendments as may be necessary or advisable to have such facility be fungible with other First Lien Term Facilities.

The incurrence of indebtedness under an Incremental Term Facility will be subject to only the following conditions and to any other conditions agreed between the lenders under the Incremental Term Facility and the Borrower, measured at the time of the incurrence of such indebtedness (or the receipt of commitments with respect thereto), in each case, subject to LCA Election rights: (a) no event of default will have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, and (b) all representations and warranties must be true and correct in all material respects immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Term Facility; provided, that if such incurrence is in connection with a Permitted Acquisition (to be defined in a manner consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles), Acquisition Transaction (to be defined in a manner consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles) or other permitted investment or acquisition (collectively, “Permitted Investments”), the condition set forth in clause (a) may be waived by the providers of any such Incremental Term Facility (other than an event of default resulting from non-payment of principal or interest under the First Lien Term Facilities or bankruptcy (such events of default, “Specified Events of Default”)) and the condition set forth in clause (b) may be limited by customary “certain funds” provisions.

The First Lien Term Loan Documents will also require that:

(i) except for Incremental Term Facilities incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Date Basket (as defined below), the scheduled final maturity date of any Incremental Term Facility be no earlier than the final maturity date for the First Lien Term Loans incurred on the Closing Date (the “Initial Term Loans”);

(ii) except for Incremental Term Facilities incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Date Basket, the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Facility be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans (without giving effect to any amortization or prepayments on the outstanding First Lien Term Loans);

(iii) the interest margins for any Incremental Term Facility will be determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such Incremental Term Facility; provided, that if the interest rate margins for any floating-rate Incremental Term Facility (other than an Excluded Incremental Facility) that is secured on a pari passu basis with any

A-143

other First Lien Term Facilities is greater than the interest rate margins for the Initial Term Loans by more than 75 basis points (the “Yield Differential”), then the interest margins for all Initial Term Loans denominated in such currency will be increased to the extent necessary so that such all-in-yield for such Incremental Term Facility is not more than 75 basis points higher than the interest rate margins for the Initial Term Loans (the “MFN Provision”);

(iv) except for Incremental Term Facilities incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Date Basket, any Incremental Term Facility may share on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term Loans (other than pursuant to a refinancing or with respect to greater than pro rata payments to an earlier maturing tranche);

(v) (i) to the extent secured, shall not be secured by any lien on any asset for the Borrower or any Guarantor that does not also secure the existing First Lien Term Facility and (ii) shall not be guaranteed by any person other than the Borrower and Guarantors; and

(vi) any Incremental Term facility will be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the providers of such Incremental Term Facility; provided that the operation and agency provisions application to each first lien Incremental Term Facility will be reasonably satisfactory to the First Lien Administrative Agent.

“Excluded Incremental Facility” means any Incremental Facility or Incremental Equivalent Debt (a) incurred after the date that is six months after the initial funding of the Initial Term Loans, (b) in an original aggregate principal amount less than the greater of 50% of Closing Date EBITDA and 50% of LTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, (c) in connection with Permitted Investments, (d) incurred in reliance on, or reclassified to, the Ratio Incremental Amount, (e) with a final maturity date later than the date that is eight years after the Closing Date, (f) that is not a syndicated “term loan b” facility or (g) not denominated in US Dollars.

“Inside Maturity Date Basket” means any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Equivalent Debt that is designated by the Borrower as being incurred pursuant to this provision; provided that such Incremental Term Facility is (a) in an original aggregate principal amount that does not exceed the greater of 100% of Closing Date EBITDA and 100% of LTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA measured on a pro forma basis, (b) incurred under (or reclassified to) the Ratio Incremental Amount or (c) not a syndicated “term loan b” facility.

In lieu of adding Incremental Term Facilities as set forth above, all or any part of the Incremental Facility Cap may be used to incur (i) notes and/or loans that will be secured by liens on the Collateral that have the same priority as the liens that secure the First Lien Term Facilities (“Parity Lien Debt”) and other permitted liens,

A-144

(ii) notes and/or loans that will be secured by liens on the Collateral that are junior in priority to the liens that secure the First Lien Term Facilities (“Junior Lien Debt”) and other permitted liens, (iii) notes and/or loans that will be secured by liens on assets that do not constitute Collateral (“Non-Collateral Debt”), and/or (iv) unsecured notes or loans (“Unsecured Debt” and, together with Parity Lien Debt, Junior Lien Debt and Non-Collateral Debt, “Incremental Equivalent Debt”); provided, that,

(a) Incremental Equivalent Debt together with all Incremental Term Facilities will be capped at the Incremental Facility Cap;

(b) except for Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Date Basket, the scheduled final maturity date of any Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred as term loan facilities that is secured on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Term Facilities will be no earlier than the final maturity date for the Initial Term Loans;

(c) except for Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Date Basket, the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred as term loan facilities will be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans (without giving effect to any amortization or prepayments on the outstanding First Lien Term Loans);

(d) except for Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Date Basket, any Incremental Equivalent Debt may share on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term Loans (other than pursuant to a refinancing or with respect to greater than pro rata payments to an earlier maturing tranche) and any mandatory prepayments of any Junior Lien Debt or Unsecured Debt may not be made except to the extent that prepayments are offered, to the extent required under the First Lien Term Facilities or any indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Term Facilities, first pro rata to the First Lien Term Facilities and any such other pari passu indebtedness;

(e) no Incremental Equivalent Debt will be subject to any “most favored nations” pricing provisions; provided that Parity Lien Debt in the form of floating-rate term loans will be subject to the MFN Provision;

(f) (i) to the extent secured by the assets of any Loan party, shall not be secured by any lien on any asset of any Borrower or any Guarantor that does not also secure the existing First Lien Term Facility and (ii) to the extent incurred or guaranteed by any Loan Party, shall not be guarantee by any person other than the Borrower and Guarantors.

A-145


		(g) any Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred by non-Loan Parties shall be capped at greater of 50% of closing EBITDA and 50% LTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (combined with the cap for Permitted Ratio Debt incurred by non-Loan Parties).

Refinancing Facilities:		The Borrower and the restricted subsidiaries may refinance loans and commitments under any First Lien Term Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis, from time to time, in whole or part, with one or more tranches of secured or unsecured indebtedness (such indebtedness, a “Refinancing Facility”), in each case, on terms and conditions consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, liens securing a Refinancing Facility must be permitted liens.

Purpose:		Proceeds of First Lien Term Loans, together with the proceeds of any loans borrowed under the ABL Facility on the Closing Date and the proceeds of the Equity Contribution will be used to consummate the Refinancing and to pay Transaction Costs, with any remainder available for general corporate purposes.

Availability:		The First Lien Term Facility must be drawn in a single drawing substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transactions. Amounts repaid or prepaid under the First Lien Term Facilities may not be reborrowed.

First Lien Documentation Principles:		The definitive documentation for the First Lien Term Facility (the “First Lien Loan Documents”) will (a) be initially prepared by counsel to the Borrower, (b) contain only the terms and conditions set forth in this Exhibit C (subject to the “flex” in the Fee Letter), (c) reflect the operational and strategic requirements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries in light of their consolidated capital structure, size, geographic location, businesses and business practices, operations, financial accounting, matters disclosed in the Acquisition Agreement and the proposed business plan (including the Sponsor Model (as defined below) and investment thesis) and the industry and practices of Borrower, in each case, after giving effect to the Transactions, (d) be consistent with the proposed business plan, Sponsor Model and projections, in each case delivered to the Commitment Parties prior to the date of the Commitment Letter, (e) be based on, and no less favorable (except as expressly set forth in this Term Sheet (after giving effect to any “flex” exercised under the Fee Letter)) to, the Acquired Business and its subsidiaries than, the draft documentation dated as of February 25, 2020 previously provided to you titled “First Lien Credit Agreement” by and among Karman Intermediate Corp. as Holdings, Advantages Sales & Marketing Inc. as the Borrower (the “Identified Precedent”), (f) will permit automatic reclassification of amounts incurred under all fixed baskets, exceptions and thresholds under applicable ratio baskets, and (g) in no event be less favorable (taken as a whole) to the Borrower and its subsidiaries than the existing credit agreement of the Acquired Business; provided, the First Lien Loan Documents will be modified as necessary (i) (x) to take into account any changes

A-146


		in law or accounting standards and (y) to reflect customary modifications to the operational and agency provisions to reflect the requirements of the First Lien Administrative Agent and (ii) to reflect customary provisions relating to the Canadian Loan Parties. The foregoing is referred to herein, collectively, as the “First Lien Documentation Principles” and, together with the ABL Documentation Principles, the “Documentation Principles.” Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Term Sheet have the meanings set forth on the exhibit to the Commitment Letter to which this Term Sheet is attached entitled “Select Definitions”, in the Identified Precedent or in the Fee Letter, as applicable. The First Lien Loan Documents will, subject to the “flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter, contain only those payment provisions, conditions to borrowing, mandatory prepayments, representations and warranties, covenants, events of default and guarantee and collateral provisions expressly set forth in this Term Sheet, in each case, applicable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (and to the extent set forth below, Holdings) and with standards, qualifications, thresholds, exceptions, “baskets” and grace and cure periods set forth in the Identified Precedent and otherwise consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles. For purposes of the First Lien Loan Documents, if any “market flex” provisions are exercised, whether before or after the Closing Date, the applicable incurrence based covenant levels based on leverage shall be adjusted in the First Lien Loan Documents (or pursuant to an amendment thereto, which shall require only the consent of the Borrower and the First Lien Administrative Agent) in order to make corresponding adjustments to account for the additional indebtedness and any OID or upfront fees and to maintain the agreed cushions and/or reflect the adjusted “Closing Date” leverage levels (or offset thereto) resulting from the exercise of such “market flex” terms.

Ranking:		The First Lien Term Facilities will be senior obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors (as defined below) and will be secured (i) on a first priority basis with the Fixed Asset Collateral (as defined in Exhibit B) and (ii) on a second priority basis with the Current Asset Collateral (as defined in Exhibit B), in each case subject to permitted liens. The lien priority, relative rights and other creditors’ rights in respect of the Collateral securing the ABL Facility and the First Lien Term Facilities will be set forth in one or more Intercreditor Agreements (as defined in Exhibit B), which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the First Lien Administrative Agent, the administrative agent under the ABL Facility. For the avoidance of doubt, the Intercreditor Agreements will (i) permit additional secured indebtedness of the Loan Parties (as defined below), which indebtedness is permitted to be incurred and secured (including with respect to the lien priority thereof) pursuant to the terms of the definitive documentation for the ABL Facility (the “ABL Loan Documents”) and the First Lien Term Loan Documents, (ii) permit refinancing indebtedness in respect of the ABL Facility and the First Lien

A-147


		Term Facilities or any of the foregoing permitted additional secured indebtedness referenced in clause (i), (iii) not impose any restrictions on amendments of the ABL Loan Documents or the First Lien Term Loan Documents (other than amendments which would conflict with the Intercreditor Agreements) and (iv) otherwise contain usual and customary terms reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the other secured parties party thereto.

Interest Rates and Fees:		As set forth on Annex II to the Fee Letter.

Maturity and Amortization:		The First Lien Term Facilities will mature on the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date (subject to extension with the consent of only the extending First Lien Lender) and will amortize in equal quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Term Facility during each year of the First Lien Term Facility (such payments subject to reduction as provided herein and as may be provided in the First Lien Term Loan Documents), with the balance of the original principal amount of the First Lien Term Facility payable at maturity; provided that amortization of the First Lien Term Facility may be adjusted (but may not be decreased) in connection with any Incremental Term Facility in the form of an increase to the First Lien Term Facility from and after the first fiscal quarter ending after the applicable date of drawing or the loans under such Incremental Term Facility (with the appropriate adjustments as may be necessary to cause the loans under any such Incremental Term Facility that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Term Facilities (a “Parity Incremental Term Facility”) to be treated as the same class as loans under the First Lien Term Facility and to permit “fungibility” with the First Lien Term Facility to the extent practicable). Amortization will commence at the end of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date.

Guarantees:		All obligations of the Borrower under the First Lien Term Facilities and of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries under certain interest rate protection or other hedging arrangements (including with respect to currency) entered into with a person that is the First Lien Administrative Agent or a First Lien Lender or any affiliate of the First Lien Administrative Agent or a First Lien Lender at the time of entering into such arrangements (collectively, the “Hedging Arrangements”) and certain cash management arrangements entered into with a person that is the First Lien Administrative Agent or a First Lien Lender or any affiliate of any the First Lien Administrative Agent or a First Lien Lender at the time of entering into such arrangements (collectively, the “Cash Management Arrangements” and, together with the Hedging Arrangements, the “Secured Agreements”), will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis (the “First Lien Guarantees”) by Holdings and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized wholly-owned material U.S. and Canadian domestic subsidiary of the Borrower,

A-148


		subject to the First Lien Documentation Principles and other than Excluded Subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with Holdings, the “Guarantors” and the Guarantors together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”). Neither the Acquired Business nor any of its subsidiaries will be Loan Parties prior to the consummation of the Acquisition and the initial funding of the Facilities. The First Lien Term Facility Documentation will provide that the term “FSHCO” means any direct or indirect subsidiary of Holdings that has no material assets other than equity interests (or equity interests and indebtedness) of one or more non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Borrower (other than Canadian subsidiaries) that are “controlled foreign corporations” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code or other FSHCOs. Neither the Acquired Business nor any of its subsidiaries will be Loan Parties prior to the consummation of the Acquisition and the initial funding of the Facilities.

Security:		Subject to the Certain Funds Provisions, the obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of the First Lien Term Facility, the First Lien Guarantees and the Secured Agreements will be secured jointly and severally (subject to permitted liens) by the Collateral (as defined in Exhibit B), with the priority as set forth under the heading “Ranking” above and on terms and conditions (including as to exceptions, grace periods, limitations and materiality thresholds) the same as those set forth in the Identified Precedent in accordance with the First Lien Documentation Principles and the Security Agreement (as defined in the Identified Precedent).

Mandatory Prepayments:		Loans under the First Lien Term Facilities will be prepaid with:

Each First Lien Term Facility Lender will have the right to reject its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment, in which case the amounts so rejected may be retained by the Borrower (with no obligation to repay such loans in the future). Mandatory prepayments pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) will be subject to limitations consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles to the extent required to be made from cash at non-U.S. subsidiaries, the repatriation of which would result in material adverse tax consequences (as determined by the Borrower in consultation with the First Lien Administrative Agent) or would be prohibited or restricted by applicable law. Each First Lien Term Facility Lender will have the right to reject its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment (any such rejected mandatory prepayment amounts, the “Declined Amounts”), in which case the amounts so rejected may be retained by the Borrower (with no obligation to repay such loans in the future).

		The above described mandatory prepayments will be applied on a pro rata basis to the First Lien Term Facilities and to any Incremental Term Facility that is secured by liens which are pari passu with the liens securing the First Lien Term Facilities and require such a prepayment (or a less than pro rata basis if permitted by such Incremental Term Facility) and to the installments thereof as directed by the Borrower (or, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity of the remaining installments under the First Lien Term Facilities and any such Incremental Term Facility); provided, that the First Lien Term Loan Documents will provide that in the case of mandatory prepayments in respect of Excess Cash Flow or any asset sale or condemnation event, a ratable portion of the net proceeds thereof may be applied to prepay or offer to purchase Parity Lien Debt, if required under the terms of such debt.

Voluntary Prepayments/Reductions in Commitments:		Voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the First Lien Term Facilities will be permitted at any time, without premium or penalty (other than, with respect to the Initial Term Loans, any applicable Repricing Premium referred to below) subject to reimbursement of the First Lien Lenders’ redeployment costs actually incurred in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR (as defined below) loans other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

The term “Repricing Transaction” means (a) the incurrence by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of indebtedness in the form of a syndicated term loan (including any new or additional First Lien Term Loans, whether incurred directly or by way of the conversion of the initial First Lien Term Loans into a new tranche of replacement First Lien Term Loans) (i) having an all-in yield that is less than the all-in yield for the initial First Lien Term Loans and (ii) the proceeds of which are used to prepay (or, in the case of a conversion, deemed to prepay or replace), in whole or in part, the outstanding principal of the Initial Term Loans or (b) any effective reduction in the all-in yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans by way of an amendment; provided, that a Repricing Transaction will not include any event described in clause (a) or (b) above that is not consummated for the primary purpose of lowering the all-in yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), including any such event consummated in connection with a change of control or other enterprise transformative event.

Indebtedness under revolving, delayed draw and other committed facilities may be incurred from time to time if the full amount of such facility was permitted to be incurred on the date commitments with respect to such facilities were obtained (and compliance will not need to be tested on any subsequent date).

The designation of any unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary will be deemed to be an incurrence at the time of such designation of indebtedness of such subsidiary or of liens on the assets of such subsidiary, in each case, outstanding on the date of such designation. The designation of any subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary will constitute an investment in an amount equal to the fair market value of the subsidiary designated for purposes of the investments negative covenant.

		Guarantees), a material security interest or a material portion of the Collateral; and Change of Control (to be defined in a manner consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles but limited to the “post-IPO” prong); provided that any Default or Event of Default resulting solely from failure to provide notice thereof shall be deemed not to be “continuing” or “existing” upon delivery of such notice unless the Borrower knowingly fails to give timely notice of such Default or Event of Default as required by the affirmative covenants.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach of a financial maintenance covenant in the ABL Facility will not constitute an Event of Default with respect to the First Lien Term Facilities or trigger a cross-default under the First Lien Term Facilities until the date on which the loans under the ABL Facility (if any) have been accelerated and the commitments in respect of the ABL Facility have been terminated, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the ABL Facility.

Voting:		Amendments and waivers of the First Lien Term Loan Documents will require the approval of one or more First Lien Lenders (the “Required Lenders”) holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of loans and commitments under the First Lien Term Facilities, except that: (a) the consent of each First Lien Lender directly and adversely affected thereby will be required with respect to (i) increases in commitments of such First Lien Lender, (ii) reductions of principal, interest (other than default interest) or fees (it being understood and agreed that the waiver of any mandatory prepayment, default interest, default or event of default will only require the consent of the Required Lenders), (iii) extensions of scheduled amortization, date of payment of interest or any fee or final maturity, and (iv) changes to the pro rata sharing and pro rata payment provisions, including the “waterfall” provisions; (b) the consent of 100% of the First Lien Lenders will be required with respect to amendments that effect (i) changes in voting thresholds and (ii) releases of liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the First Lien Guarantees; and (c) the consent of the First Lien Administrative Agent will be required to amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights and duties of the First Lien Administrative Agent; provided that, if a Lender (subject to certain exceptions to be set forth in the First Lien Term Loan Documents) has a net short TRS, CDS or other derivatives hedging position with respect to the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party, the ability of the “net short lenders” to vote will be limited in a manner consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments and waivers that affect only the First Lien Lenders under a particular facility or tranche, will require only the consent of First Lien Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate commitments and loans under such facility or tranche, as applicable.

A-160


		The First Lien Term Loan Documents will contain provisions for replacing (a) non-consenting First Lien Lenders in connection with amendments and waivers requiring the consent of all relevant First Lien Lenders or of all relevant First Lien Lenders adversely affected thereby so long as relevant First Lien Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the loans and commitments under the relevant First Lien Facilities have consented thereto, (b) First Lien Lenders that make a claim for increased costs, taxes, etc. and (c) any First Lien Lender that is or becomes a Disqualified Lender (to be defined in the First Lien Term Loan Documents).

The First Lien Term Loan Documents will permit amendments thereof without the approval or consent of the First Lien Lenders to effect a Repricing Transaction other than any First Lien Lender holding First Lien Term Loans subject to such Repricing Transaction that will continue as a First Lien Lender in respect of the repriced tranche of First Lien Term Loans or modified First Lien Term Loans. Non-pro-rata distributions and commitment reductions will be permitted in connection with loan buy-back or similar programs consistent with the First Lien Documentation Principles.

Assignments and Participations:		The First Lien Lenders will be permitted to assign loans and commitments (other than to natural persons, Disqualified Lenders or First Lien Lenders who have become Disqualified Lenders) with the consent of the Borrower (unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or such assignment is an assignment of a First Lien Term Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an approved fund), the First Lien Administrative Agent, in each case such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrower will be deemed to have consented if it has not responded within five (5) business days after written request for consent to an assignment of First Lien Term Loans. Each assignment (except to other First Lien Lenders or their affiliates or approved funds) will be in a minimum amount of $1.0 million. The First Lien Administrative Agent will receive a processing and

A-161

recordation fee of $3,500, payable by the assignor and/or the assignee, with each assignment. The First Lien Administrative Agent will make the list of Disqualified Lenders available to a First Lien Lender upon request by such First Lien Lender.

(a) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of the First Lien Term Loan Documents that does not require the consent of each First Lien Lender or each affected First Lien Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as such in any material respect as compared to other First Lien Lenders and for purposes of any bankruptcy plan of reorganization, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as non-affiliated First Lien Lenders voting on such matter;

(b) Affiliated Lenders will not be permitted to attend/participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the First Lien Lenders and the First Lien Administrative Agent, or to receive information provided solely to the First Lien Lenders or to receive the advice of counsel to the First Lien Administrative Agent or the First Lien Lenders, nor may Affiliated Lenders challenge the attorney-client privilege between the First Lien Administrative Agent and counsel to the First Lien Administrative Agent or between the First Lien Lenders and counsel to the First Lien Lenders; and

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

Any Shares distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Common Stock, treasury Common Stock or Common Stock purchased on the open market.

(b) If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited or expire, are converted to shares of another entity in connection with a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares or other similar event, or such Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part) (including Shares repurchased by the Company under Section 7.4 at the same price paid by the Holder), the Shares subject to such Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, conversion or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following Shares shall not be added to the Shares authorized for grant under Section 3.1(a) and shall not be available for future grants of Awards: (i) Shares tendered by a Holder or withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Option; (ii) Shares tendered by the Holder or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award; (iii) Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise thereof; and (iv) Shares purchased on the open market by the Company with the cash proceeds received from the exercise of Options. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not be counted against the Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

4.7 Minimum Vesting. Expect with respect to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the number of shares reserved under the Plan pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 3.1(b)), each Award shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of one (1) year commencing from the grant date, or respect to Awards that vest upon the attainment of performance goals, a performance period that is at least one (1) year. For the purposes of clarity, this Section 4.7 shall not prevent the Committee from accelerating any Award in accordance with any provisions set forth in this Plan.

ARTICLE 5.

GRANTING OF OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

5.1 Granting of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Individuals.

No person who qualifies as a Greater Than 10% Stockholder may be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless such Incentive Stock Option conforms to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code.

The rule set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options and other “incentive stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted and the fair market value of stock shall be determined as of the time the respective options were granted. Any interpretations and rules under the Plan with respect to Incentive Stock Options shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall have any liability to a Holder, or any other Person, (a) if an Option (or any part thereof) which is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option or (b) for any action or omission by the Company or the Administrator that causes an Option not to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, including without limitation, the conversion of an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Qualified Stock Option or the grant of an Option intended as an Incentive Stock Option that fails to satisfy the requirements under the Code applicable to an Incentive Stock Option.

5.3 Option and Stock Appreciation Right Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share subject to each Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Administrator, but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, is granted (or, as to Incentive Stock Options, on the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code). In addition, in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, such price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted (or the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of the Shares subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be less than the Fair Market Value

F-1-9

per share on the date of grant; provided that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 424 and 409A of the Code.

5.4 Option and SAR Term. The term of each Option (the “Option Term”) and the term of each Stock Appreciation Right (the “SAR Term”) shall be set by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Option Term or SAR Term, as applicable, shall not be more than (a) ten (10) years from the date the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, is granted to an Eligible Individual (other than, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, a Greater Than 10% Stockholder), or (b) five (5) years from the date an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder. Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A or Section 422 of the Code and regulations and rulings thereunder or the first sentence of this Section 5.4 and without limiting the Company’s rights under Section 10.7, the Administrator may extend the Option Term of any outstanding Option or the SAR Term of any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right, and may extend the time period during which vested Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised, in connection with any Termination of Service of the Holder or otherwise, and may amend, subject to Section 10.7 and 12.1, any other term or condition of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right relating to such Termination of Service of the Holder or otherwise.

5.5 Option and SAR Vesting. The period during which the right to exercise, in whole or in part, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right vests in the Holder, including, without limitation, any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such period, shall be set by the Administrator and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, the applicable Program or by action of the Administrator following the grant of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (a) no portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right which is unexercisable at a Holder’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable and (b) the portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is unexercisable at a Holder’s Termination of Service shall automatically expire thirty (30) days following such Termination of Service.

ARTICLE 6.

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

6.1 Exercise and Payment. An exercisable Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part. However, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall not be exercisable with respect to fractional Shares and the Administrator may require that, by the terms of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, a partial exercise must be with respect to a minimum number of Shares. Payment of the amounts payable with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to this Article 6 shall be in cash, Shares (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised), or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator.

6.2 Manner of Exercise. Except as set forth in Section 6.3, all or a portion of an exercisable Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the following to the Secretary of the Company, the stock plan administrator of the Company or such other person or entity designated by the Administrator, or his, her or its office, as applicable:

(a) A written or electronic notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Administrator stating that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or a portion thereof, is exercised. The notice shall be signed or otherwise acknowledged electronically by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right or such portion thereof;

(b) Such representations and documents as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with Applicable Law.

F-1-10

(c) In the event that the Option shall be exercised pursuant to Section 10.3 by any person or persons other than the Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator; and

(d) Full payment of the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes for the Shares with respect to which the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or portion thereof, is exercised, in a manner permitted by the Administrator in accordance with Sections 10.1 and 10.2.

6.3 Expiration of Option Term or SAR Term: Automatic Exercise of In-The-Money Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may include a provision in an Award Agreement providing for the automatic exercise of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right on the last business day of the applicable Option Term or Stock Appreciation Right Term that was initially established by the Administrator for such Option or Stock Appreciation Right (e.g., the last business day prior to the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right if the Option or Stock Appreciation Right initially had a ten-year Option Term or Stock Appreciation Right Term, as applicable).

6.4 Notification Regarding Disposition. The Holder shall give the Company prompt written or electronic notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option which occurs within (a) two years from the date of granting (including the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code) such Option to such Holder, or (b) one year after the date of transfer of such Shares to such Holder. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the Holder in such disposition or other transfer.

ARTICLE 7.

AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK

7.1 Award of Restricted Stock. The Administrator is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to Eligible Individuals, and shall determine the terms and conditions, including the restrictions applicable to each award of Restricted Stock, which terms and conditions shall not be inconsistent with the Plan or any applicable Program, and may impose such conditions on the issuance of such Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate. The Administrator shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment for Restricted Stock; provided, however, that if a purchase price is charged, such purchase price shall be no less than the par value, if any, of the Shares to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. In all cases, legal consideration shall be required for each issuance of Restricted Stock to the extent required by Applicable Law.

7.2 Rights as Stockholders. Subject to Section 7.4, upon issuance of Restricted Stock, the Holder shall have, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said Shares, subject to the restrictions in the Plan, any applicable Program and/or the applicable Award Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares to the extent such dividends and other distributions have a record date that is on or after the date on which the Holder to whom such Shares are granted becomes the record holder of such Restricted Stock; provided, however, that, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, any extraordinary distributions with respect to the Shares may be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 7.3. In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, with respect to a share of Restricted Stock, dividends which are paid prior to vesting shall only be paid out to the Holder to the extent that all vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the share of Restricted Stock vests.

7.3 Restrictions. All Shares of Restricted Stock (including any Shares received by Holders thereof with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall be subject to such restrictions and vesting requirements as the Administrator shall provide in the applicable Program or Award Agreement, including, without limitation, performance-based restrictions or vesting. By

F-1-11

action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, accelerate the vesting of such Restricted Stock by removing any or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the applicable Program or Award Agreement.

7.4 Repurchase or Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, if no price was paid by the Holder for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, the Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled without consideration on the date of such Termination of Service. If a price was paid by the Holder for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Holder the unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions at a cash price per share equal to the price paid by the Holder for such Restricted Stock or such other amount as may be specified in the applicable Program or Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide that upon certain events, including, without limitation, the Holder’s death, retirement or disability or any other specified Termination of Service or any other event, the Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions shall not lapse, such Restricted Stock shall vest and cease to be forfeitable and, if applicable, the Company shall cease to have a right of repurchase.

7.5 Section 83(b) Election. If a Holder makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Holder would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Holder shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service along with proof of the timely filing thereof with the Internal Revenue Service.

ARTICLE 8.

AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

8.1 Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock Units to any Eligible Individual selected by the Administrator in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator.

8.2 Term. Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of a Restricted Stock Unit award shall be set by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

8.3 Purchase Price. The Administrator shall specify the purchase price, if any, to be paid by the Holder to the Company with respect to any Restricted Stock Unit Award; provided, however, that the value of the consideration shall not be less than the par value of a Share, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law.

8.4 Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, vesting based upon the Holder’s duration of service to the Company or any Subsidiary, Company performance, individual performance or other specific criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods, as determined by the Administrator.

8.5 Maturity and Payment. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of Restricted Stock Units, which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election of the Holder (if permitted by the applicable Award Agreement); provided that, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, and subject to compliance with Section 409A, in no

F-1-12

event shall the maturity date relating to each Restricted Stock Unit occur following the later of (a) the 15^th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the applicable portion of the Restricted Stock Unit vests; or (b) the 15^th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the applicable portion of the Restricted Stock Unit vests. On the maturity date, the Company shall, in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement and subject to Section 10.4(f), transfer to the Holder one unrestricted, fully transferable Share for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited, or in the sole discretion of the Administrator, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the maturity date or a combination of cash and Common Stock as determined by the Administrator.

8.6 Payment upon Termination of Service. An Award of Restricted Stock Units shall only be payable while the Holder is an Employee, a Consultant or a member of the Board, as applicable; provided, however, that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide (in an Award Agreement or otherwise) that a Restricted Stock Unit award may be paid subsequent to a Termination of Service in certain events, the Holder’s death, retirement or disability or any other specified Termination of Service.

ARTICLE 9.

AWARD OF OTHER STOCK OR CASH BASED AWARDS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

9.1 Other Stock or Cash Based Awards. The Administrator is authorized to grant Other Stock or Cash Based Awards, including awards entitling a Holder to receive Shares or cash to be delivered immediately or in the future, to any Eligible Individual. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and any applicable Program, the Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock or Cash Based Award, including the term of the Award, any exercise or purchase price, performance goals, transfer restrictions, vesting conditions and other terms and conditions applicable thereto, which shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be paid in cash, Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares, as determined by the Administrator, and may be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards granted under the Plan, as stand-alone payments, as a part of a bonus, deferred bonus, deferred compensation or other arrangement, and/or as payment in lieu of compensation to which an Eligible Individual is otherwise entitled.

9.2 Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be granted by the Administrator, either alone or in tandem with another Award, based on dividends declared on the Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates during the period between the date the Dividend Equivalents are granted to a Holder and the date such Dividend Equivalents terminate or expire, as determined by the Administrator. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional Shares by such formula and at such time and subject to such restrictions and limitations as may be determined by the Administrator. In addition, Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award shall only be paid out to the Holder to the extent that the full vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Award vests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

ARTICLE 10.

ADDITIONAL TERMS OF AWARDS

10.1 Payment. The Administrator shall determine the method or methods by which payments by any Holder with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan shall be made, including, without limitation: (a) cash or check, (b) Shares (including, in the case of payment of the exercise price of an Award, Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Award) or Shares held for such minimum period of time as may be established by the Administrator, in each case, having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate payments

F-1-13

required, (c) delivery of a written or electronic notice that the Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise or vesting of an Award, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate payments required; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, (d) other form of legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator in its sole discretion, or (e) any combination of the above permitted forms of payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Holder who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to make payment with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect to such payment, with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

10.2 Tax Withholding. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Holder to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Holder’s FICA, employment tax or other social security contribution obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Holder arising as a result of the Plan or any Award. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, or in satisfaction of such additional withholding obligations as a Holder may have elected, allow a Holder to satisfy such obligations by any payment means described in Section 10.1 hereof, including without limitation, by allowing such Holder to elect to have the Company or any Subsidiary withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the surrender of Shares). The number of Shares that may be so withheld or surrendered shall be no greater than the number of Shares that have a fair market value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in such Holder’s applicable jurisdiction for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income. The Administrator shall determine the fair market value of the Shares, consistent with applicable provisions of the Code, for tax withholding obligations due in connection with a broker-assisted cashless Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise involving the sale of Shares to pay the Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise price or any tax withholding obligation.

10.3 Transferability of Awards.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 10.3(b) and 10.3(c):

(i) No Award under the Plan may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than (A) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (B) subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed;

(ii) No Award or interest or right therein shall be liable for or otherwise subject to the debts, contracts or engagements of the Holder or the Holder’s successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy) unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed, and any attempted disposition of an Award prior to satisfaction of these conditions shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by Section 10.3(a)(i); and

(iii) During the lifetime of the Holder, only the Holder may exercise any exercisable portion of an Award granted to such Holder under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO. After the death of the Holder, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Program or Award Agreement, be exercised by the Holder’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Holder’s will or under the then-applicable laws of descent and distribution.

F-1-14

(b) Notwithstanding Section 10.3(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Holder or a Permitted Transferee of such Holder to transfer an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option (unless such Incentive Stock Option is intended to become a Nonqualified Stock Option) to any one or more Permitted Transferees of such Holder, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than (A) to another Permitted Transferee of the applicable Holder or (B) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO; (ii) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Holder (other than the ability to further transfer the Award to any Person other than another Permitted Transferee of the applicable Holder); and (iii) the Holder (or transferring Permitted Transferee) and the receiving Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under Applicable Law and (C) evidence the transfer. In addition, and further notwithstanding Section 10.3(a), hereof, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Holder to transfer Incentive Stock Options to a trust that constitutes a Permitted Transferee if, under Section 671 of the Code and other Applicable Law, the Holder is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Incentive Stock Option while it is held in the trust.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 10.3(a), a Holder may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Holder and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Holder’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Program or Award Agreement applicable to the Holder and any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If the Holder is married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as the Holder’s beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Holder’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written or electronic consent of the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Holder, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Holder’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Holder at any time; provided that the change or revocation is delivered in writing to the Administrator prior to the Holder’s death.

10.4 Conditions to Issuance of Shares.

(a) The Administrator shall determine the methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Holders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Administrator has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such Shares is in compliance with Applicable Law and the Shares are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that a Holder make such reasonable covenants, agreements and representations as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with Applicable Law.

(b) All share certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan and all Shares issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with Applicable Law. The Administrator may place legends on any share certificate or book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares (including, without limitation, restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock).

(c) The Administrator shall have the right to require any Holder to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement, distribution or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

F-1-15

(d) No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding down.

(e) The Company, in its sole discretion, may (i) retain physical possession of any stock certificate evidencing Shares until any restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and/or (ii) require that the stock certificates evidencing such Shares be held in custody by a designated escrow agent (which may but need not be the Company) until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that the Holder deliver a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to such Shares.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or required by Applicable Law, the Company shall not deliver to any Holder certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

10.5 Forfeiture and Claw-Back Provisions. All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by a Holder upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award and any payments of a portion of an incentive-based bonus pool allocated to a Holder) shall, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or required by Applicable Law, be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of Applicable Law, including, without limitation, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, whether or not such claw-back policy was in place at the time of grant of an Award, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement.

10.6 Prohibition on Repricing. Subject to Section 12.2, the Administrator shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (a) authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its price per Share, or (b) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option or Stock Appreciation Right price per Share exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares. Furthermore, for purposes of this Section 10.6, except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price per Share of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price per Share that is less than the exercise price per Share of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights without the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

10.7 Amendment of Awards. Subject to Applicable Law and Section 10.6, the Administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or settlement, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Holder’s consent to such action shall be required unless (a) the Administrator determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Holder, or (b) the change is otherwise permitted under the Plan (including, without limitation, under Section 12.2 or 12.10).

10.8 Data Privacy. As a condition of receipt of any Award, each Holder explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 10.8 by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Holder’s participation in the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries may hold certain personal information about a Holder, including but not limited to, the Holder’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary,

F-1-16

nationality, job title(s), any shares of stock held in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and details of all Awards, in each case, for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its Subsidiaries may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of a Holder’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries may each further transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company and its Subsidiaries in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the Holder’s country, or elsewhere, and the Holder’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. Through acceptance of an Award, each Holder authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Holder’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Holder may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Holder will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Holder’s participation in the Plan. A Holder may, at any time, view the Data held by the Company with respect to such Holder, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data with respect to such Holder, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data with respect to the Holder or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Company may cancel the Holder’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator’s discretion, the Holder may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Holder refuses or withdraws his or her consents as described herein. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Holders may contact their local human resources representative.

otherwise permitted under Section 10.7 or Section 12.10. In its sole discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee in its capacity as the Administrator under the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor rule, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, or the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

ARTICLE 12.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

12.1 Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.1(b), the Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board; provided that, except as provided in Section 10.5 and Section 12.10, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Holder, materially and adversely affect any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted or awarded, unless the Award itself otherwise expressly so provides.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 12.1(a), the Board may not, except as provided in Section 12.2, take any of the following actions without approval of the Company’s stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after such action: (i) increase the limit imposed in Section 3.1 on the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or the Award Limit, (ii) reduce the price per share of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan or take any action prohibited under Section 10.6, or (iii) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award in violation of Section 10.6.

(c) No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may any Award be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board or (ii) the date the Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders (such anniversary, the “Expiration Date”). Any Awards that are outstanding on the Expiration Date shall remain in force according to the terms of the Plan, the applicable Program and the applicable Award Agreement.

F-1-19

(i) the aggregate number and kind of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1 on the maximum number and kind of Shares which may be issued under the Plan, and adjustments of the Award Limit); (ii) the number and kind of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); (iv) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan; and (v) the number and kind of Shares (or other securities or property) for which automatic grants are subsequently to be made to new and continuing Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 4.6.

(b) In the event of any transaction or event described in Section 12.2(a) or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary, or of changes in Applicable Law or Applicable Accounting Standards, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in Applicable Law or Applicable Accounting Standards:

(i) To provide for the termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or other property with a value equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 12.2 the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment);

(ii) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the Administrator;

(iii) To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares of the Company’s stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards and Awards which may be granted in the future;

(iv) To provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Program or Award Agreement;

(v) To replace such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator; and/or

(vi) To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event.

(c) In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 12.2(a) and 12.2(b):

(i) The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price or xxxxx xxxxx thereof, if applicable, shall be equitably adjusted (and the adjustments provided under this Section 12.2(c)(i) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Holder and the Company); and/or

(ii) The Administrator shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitation in Section 3.1 on the maximum number and kind of Shares which may be issued under the Plan, and adjustments of the Award Limit).

F-1-20

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, the parties thereto may cause such Awards to be continued in effect or be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event an Award continues in effect or is assumed or an equivalent Award substituted, and the surviving or successor company terminates Holder’s employment or service without “cause” (as such term is defined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, or as set forth in the Award Agreement relating to such Award) upon or within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control, then such Holder shall be fully vested in such continued, assumed or substituted Award.

(e) In the event that the successor corporation in a Change in Control refuses to assume, continue or substitute for an Award, any or all of such Award shall become fully exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and all forfeiture restrictions on any or all of such Award to lapse; provided that the portion of such Award subject to performance-based vesting shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement and, in the absence of applicable terms and conditions, the Administrator’s discretion. If any such Award is exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Holder that such Award shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, contingent upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, and such Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period.

(f) For the purposes of this Section 12.2, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to an Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per-share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.

(g) The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may include such further provisions and limitations in any Award, agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

(h) Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no adjustment or action described in this Section 12.2 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent it would (i) cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code, (ii) result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, or (iii) cause an Award to fail to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A.

(i) The existence of the Plan, any Program, any Award Agreement and/or the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(j) In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the Shares or the share price of the Common Stock including any Equity Restructuring, for reasons of administrative convenience, the Company, in its sole discretion, may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award during a period of up to thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any such transaction.

F-1-21

12.3 Approval of Plan by Stockholders. The Plan shall be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board’s initial adoption of the Plan. Awards may be granted or awarded prior to such stockholder approval; provided that such Awards shall not be exercisable, shall not vest and the restrictions thereon shall not lapse and no Shares shall be issued pursuant thereto prior to the time when the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders; and provided, further, that if such approval has not been obtained at the end of said twelve (12) month period, all Awards previously granted or awarded under the Plan shall thereupon be canceled and become null and void.

12.4 No Stockholders Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or in an applicable Program or Award Agreement, a Holder shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by any Award until the Holder becomes the record owner of such Shares.

12.5 Paperless Administration. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Holder may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

12.6 Effect of Plan upon Other Compensation Plans. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company or any Subsidiary: (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including without limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association.

12.7 Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of Shares and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all Applicable Law (including but not limited to state, federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements), and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all Applicable Law. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may take whatever actions it deems necessary or appropriate to effect compliance with Applicable Law, including, without limitation, placing legends on share certificates and issuing stop-transfer notices to agents and registrars. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrator may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to Applicable Law.

12.8 Titles and Headings, References to Sections of the Code or Exchange Act. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. References to sections of Applicable Law, including the Code, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall include any amendment or successor thereto.

12.9 Governing Law. The Plan and any Programs and Award Agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

12.10 Section 409A. To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A, the Plan, the Program pursuant to which such Award is granted and the Award

F-1-22

Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A. In that regard, to the extent any Award under the Plan or any other compensatory plan or arrangement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject to Section 409A, and such Award or other amount is payable on account of a Participant’s Termination of Service (or any similarly defined term), then (a) such Award or amount shall only be paid to the extent such Termination of Service qualifies as a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A, and (b) if such Award or amount is payable to a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A then to the extent required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A, such Award or other compensatory payment shall not be payable prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, or (ii) the date of the Participant’s death. To the extent applicable, the Plan, the Program and any Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator may (but is not obligated to), without a Holder’s consent, adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Program and Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (A) exempt the Award from Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (B) comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under Section 409A. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to the tax treatment of any Award under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company shall have no obligation under this Section 12.10 or otherwise to take any action (whether or not described herein) to avoid the imposition of taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and shall have no liability to any Holder or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute non-compliant, “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to the imposition of taxes, penalties and/or interest under Section 409A.

12.11 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Holder pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Program or Award Agreement shall give the Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.

12.12 Indemnification. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the Organizational Documents, each member of the Administrator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Organizational Documents, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

12.13 Relationship to other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

12.14 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
