Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s permitted successors and permitted assigns, (c) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement and (e) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.

Section 1.03. Rounding. The calculation of any financial ratios under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-down if there is no nearest number).

Section 1.04. Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

Section 1.05. Timing of Payment or Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

Section 1.06. Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time in the United States, but (i) without giving effect to any changes in lease accounting after the Closing Date and (ii) any calculation or determination which is to be made on a consolidated basis shall be made for the Borrower and all of its Subsidiaries, including those Subsidiaries, if any, which are unconsolidated on the Borrower’s audited financial statements (such principles as so modified, “GAAP”). If at any time any change in GAAP or application thereof would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or the application thereof (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP or application thereof prior to such change therein and the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation, together with the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements required hereunder; provided, that Indebtedness shall not include any obligation in respect of any “operating lease” as defined under ASC Topic 842 (Leases).

Section 1.07. Pro Forma Calculations. For purposes of determining compliance with any ratio set forth herein, such ratio shall be calculated in each case on a pro forma basis as follows:

(a) In the event that the Borrower or any Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees or redeems any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which such ratio is being calculated but on or prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of such ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”), then such ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee or redemption of Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period.

(b) For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and consolidations that have been made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary during the reference period or subsequent to the reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date shall be given pro forma effect as if all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and consolidations (and all related financing transactions) had occurred on the first day of the reference period. Additionally, if since the beginning of such reference period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any Subsidiary since the beginning of such reference period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then such ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such reference period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation (and all related financing transactions) had occurred at the beginning of the reference period.

(c) For purposes of the calculations referred to herein, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations (including any cost savings associated therewith) shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower. In addition, any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Borrower, to reflect any operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies projected in good faith to result from any acquisition, amalgamation, merger or operational change (including, to the extent applicable, from the Transactions); provided that (x) such operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable, (y) with respect to operational changes resulting from an acquisition, such actions are taken or committed to be taken no later than 12 months after date of such acquisition and (z) the aggregate amount of projected operating expense reductions, operating improvements and synergies in respect of operational changes (not resulting from an acquisition) included in any pro forma calculation shall not exceed 5% of Consolidated EBITDA for any four consecutive fiscal quarter period unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent.

(d) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Rate Management Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the reference period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate as the Borrower may designate.

(e) Any Person that is a Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed to have been a Subsidiary at all times during the reference period, and any Person that is not a Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed not to have been a Subsidiary at any time during the reference period.

Section 1.08. LLC Division/Series Transactions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the

original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time. Any reference herein and in the Loan Documents to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division or plan of division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any division of a limited liability company shall constitute a separate Person hereunder (and each division of any limited liability company that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity).

ARTICLE 2

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01. Loans.

(a) Each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make the Closing Date Term Loans to the Borrower on the Closing Date in the amount of its respective Commitment. No amount of the Loan which is repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may be reborrowed hereunder. Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, each Lender shall make available funds equal to its Commitment in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article 13. Any and all references to the principal amount of “Loans” or “Closing Date Term Loans” in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall include all increases in the principal amount of the Loans as a result of the payment of PIK Interest pursuant to Section 2.13(b).

Section 2.02. Loan Repayment.

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Maturity Date, the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment (including, without duplication, all PIK Interest).

(b) [Reserved].

Section 2.03. Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it will receive the proceeds from the Loans net of one percent (1.00%) of the principal amount of the Loans. Such discount will be treated as original issue discount on the Loans for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and will reduce the net issue price of the Loans.

Section 2.04. Warrants. The Loan Parties and the Lenders agree that the Loans and the Warrants are being issued together as an “investment unit” within the meaning of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code, the issue price of the investment unit is $242,550,000 and the issue price of the Loans is $242,550,000 minus the fair market value of the Warrants as determined by the Loan Parties by July 15, 2019. Except as otherwise required by Law, the Loan Parties and the Lenders agree to use the foregoing allocations for all applicable Tax purposes, unless all such parties agree otherwise. Subject to Section 15.05, on the Closing Date, the Borrower will issue an aggregate of 5,423,470 Warrants to the Lenders, with each Lender receiving its pro rata portion based on such Lender’s Commitment.

Section 2.05. [Reserved.]

Section 2.06. [Reserved.]

Section 2.07. [Reserved.]

Section 2.08. [Reserved.]

Section 2.09. [Reserved.]

Section 2.10. Optional and Mandatory Principal Payments.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to clause (b) below, all outstanding Loans, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Loans upon three Business Days’ prior notice in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (by no later than 12:00 noon New York City time on such date of the notice) to the Administrative Agent.

(b) In the event that, prior to the date that is the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower prepays or refinances any Closing Date Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or repays or replaces any Lender in accordance with Section 2.23(b)(v) or prepays any Closing Date Term Loan as a result of a Prepayment Event pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Lenders, (i) the applicable Call Premium or (ii) if such prepayment, refinancing or replacement is made prior to the date that is the second anniversary of the Closing Date and is not made in connection with a Change in Control transaction, the excess, if any, of (A) “make-whole” premium equal to the present value of the sum of (i) the “call” price (including the Call Premium) on the second anniversary of the Closing Date plus (ii) remaining scheduled interest from the date of the repayment through the second anniversary of the Closing Date (assuming all interest through the second anniversary will be paid in cash), discounted from the second anniversary of the Closing Date based on U.S. Treasury bills with a maturity closest to the second anniversary of the Closing Date plus 50 basis points over (B) the aggregate amount of such Closing Date Term Loans being prepaid, refinanced or replaced. The foregoing prepayment premiums shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such prepayment, refinancing or replacement, as applicable; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such foregoing prepayment premiums shall not be payable with respect to any mandatory prepayment of Closing Date Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (other than a Prepayment Event pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof) or 2.10(d).

(c) Subject to Section 2.10(e), in the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay the Loans until paid in full; provided that in the case of any such event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” if the Borrower or any Subsidiary applies (or commits to apply) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within 12 months after receipt of such Net Proceeds to pay all or a portion of the purchase price in connection with an Acquisition permitted hereunder of a Similar Business or to acquire, restore, replace, rebuild, develop, maintain or upgrade real property, equipment or other capital assets useful or to be used in the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (and, in each case, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received a certificate of a Financial Officer stating its intention to do so and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing), then, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the giving of such notice and at the time of the proposed reinvestment, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such

Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied (or committed to be so applied) by the end of such 12 month period, (or if committed to be so applied within such 12 month period, have not been so applied within 180 days after such 12 month period has expired). The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent any such evidence reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to any commitment of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to apply Net Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.10(c).

(d) Subject to Section 2.10(e), following the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period of the Borrower, commencing with the Excess Cash Flow Period ending on December 31, 2019, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period. Each prepayment pursuant to this clause shall be made on or before the date that is five Business Days after the date on which annual financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Excess Cash Flow Period for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this clause with respect to any Excess Cash Flow Period shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of (i) all optional prepayments of the Loans, and (ii) mandatory prepayments of the Loans, in each case only to the extent that such prepayments (A) were made by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries after the start of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to the due date for (or, if earlier, the actual payment date of) the prepayment under this clause with respect to such Excess Cash Flow Period and (B) have not resulted in a reduction of Excess Cash Flow or prepayments pursuant to this clause with respect to any prior Excess Cash Flow Period.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no prepayment of the Loans shall be required pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(d) until after the First Lien Loans have been paid in full in accordance with Section 2.10(c) or (d), as applicable, of the First Lien Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), except to the extent of the amount of the applicable Net Proceeds or ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be, that are not applied towards the mandatory prepayment of the First Lien Loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Section 2.11. Borrowing Notice. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the Closing Date.

Section 2.12. [Reserved.]

Section 2.13. Interest.

(a) Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Loan is made at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate.

(b) On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay all the accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans. Unless the Borrower elects to pay all accrued but unpaid interest in cash by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Payment Date, in lieu of paying all accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans in cash, the Borrower shall on each Payment Date (i) pay the accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans in cash at a rate per annum equal to 8.00% (such interest, the “Partial Cash Interest”) on such Payment Date and (ii) pay the accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans attributable to the excess over the Partial Cash Interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.00% in kind (such interest paid-in-kind, the “PIK Interest”) by capitalizing and adding such PIK Interest to (and thereby automatically increasing) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding hereunder on such Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of a Default, the Borrower shall pay all accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans on each Payment Date in cash only and not as PIK Interest.

Section 2.14. Rates Applicable After Default. During the continuance of a Default, each Loan and all fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus 2% per annum (such interest, the “Default Interest”), in each case without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during the continuation of a Default (including, without limitation, any Default described in Section 7.06 or 7.07), the Default Interest shall be payable only in cash and not as PIK Interest.

Section 2.15. Method of Payment.

(a) All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article 13, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 12:00 noon (local time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article 13 or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid shall be payable only in cash and not as PIK Interest.

Section 2.16. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain the Register as set forth in Section 12.01(c).

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.01) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

Section 2.17. [Reserved.].

Section 2.18. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Section 2.13, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, on any date on which such Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest on Advances shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance or other amount hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

Section 2.19. Notification of Advances and Prepayments. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of the Borrowing Notice and each repayment notice received by it hereunder.

Section 2.20. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article 13, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

Section 2.21. Non Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which it is scheduled to make payment of the proceeds of a Loan to the Administrative Agent or (b) in the case of the Borrower, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which it is scheduled to make a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

Section 2.22. [Reserved.]

Section 2.23. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lender.

(a) If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Entity for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.05, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Installation for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.05 to make any additional payment to any Lender, (ii) [reserved], (iii) any Lender shall (x) default in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or to pay to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder, (y) notify the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in writing that it does not intend to comply with its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or has made a public statement to that effect or (z) fail, within three Business Days after written request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, to confirm in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that it will comply with its prospective funding obligations hereunder (provided that such Lender shall cease to be an “Affected Lender” pursuant to this clause (z) upon receipt of such written confirmation by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), (iv) any Lender or such Lender’s direct or indirect parent company shall become the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or any similar proceeding (provided that a Lender shall not be an “Affected Lender” hereunder solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any Capital Stock in that Lender or any direct or indirect parent company thereof by a Governmental Entity so long as such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such Governmental Entity) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made with such Lender) or has become the subject of a Bail-in Action, or (v) any Lender shall fail to consent to a departure or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents or fail to agree to any amendment thereto, which waiver, consent or amendment requires the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders directly affected thereby and has been consented to by the Required Lenders (any Lender described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) being an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may (x) elect to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have such right only if (I) concurrently with such replacement, (A) another bank or other entity (other than a Disqualified Institution at the time of assignment) which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit B and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.01 applicable to assignments, and (B) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.05, (II) in the case of clause (i) above, such additional payments continue to be required and will be reduced or negated by such assignment and (III) in the case of clause (v) above, the applicable Eligible Assignee shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents or (y) terminate all Commitments of such Affected Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender as of such termination date.

Section 2.24. Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 2.24 and as required under Section 2.23(b), 3.01, 3.02, 3.05 or 11.02, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Loans and each payment of interest on the Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their respective outstanding Loans.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment or other distribution (whether from proceeds of Collateral or any other source, whether in the form of cash, securities or otherwise, and whether made by any Loan Party or in connection with any exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender) made or applied in respect of any of the

Obligations (i) following any acceleration of the Obligations, (ii) during the existence of a Default under Section 7.02 or (iii) during or in connection with Insolvency Proceedings involving any Loan Party (or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization in connection therewith), shall, subject to the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, be made or applied, as the case may be, in the following order of priority (with higher priority Obligations to be paid in full prior to any payment or other distribution in respect of lower priority Obligations): (A) first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause first payable to them); (B) second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including any default interest) on the Loans (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (B) payable to them), including interest accruing after the filing or commencement of any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any such Insolvency Proceedings; (C) third, to payment of any other Obligations due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, ratably; and (D) last, in the case of proceeds of Collateral, the balance, if any, thereof, after all of the Obligations (excluding any contingent obligations) have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Lender agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.24 (including, without limitation, the priority of the Obligations as set forth herein) constitute an intercreditor agreement among them for value received that is independent of any value received from the Loan Parties, and that such agreement shall be enforceable as against each Lender, including, without limitation, in any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party (including without limitation with respect to interests and costs regardless of whether or not such interest or costs are allowed as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceedings or enforceable or recoverable against the Loan Party or its bankruptcy estate), to the same extent that such agreement is enforceable under applicable non-bankruptcy law (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 510(a) of the U.S. federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable insolvency law), and that, if any Lender receives any payment or distribution in respect of any Obligation (including, without limitation, in connection with any Insolvency Proceedings or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization therein) to which such Lender is not entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Section 2.24, such amount shall be held in trust by such Lender for the benefit of the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution hereunder, and promptly shall be turned over by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution in accordance with this Section 2.24.

(c) In the event there is any Disgorged Recovery in respect of any Lender’s Loans in any Insolvency Proceedings of any Loan Party, such Loans shall be deemed to be outstanding as if such Disgorged Recovery had never been received by such Lender, and each Lender agrees that the intercreditor agreements and priorities set forth in this Section 2.24 shall be enforced in accordance with their terms in respect of such Loans, including, without limitation, for purposes of the allocation of payments and distributions made or applied in respect of the Obligations (whether from proceeds of Collateral or otherwise), as well as for purposes of determining whether such other Lender must turn over all or any portion of any payment or other distribution received by such other Lender (whether before or after occurrence of such Disgorged Recovery) to the Administrative Agent for redistribution in accordance with Section 2.24(b).

Section 2.25. [Reserved.]

Section 2.26. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 8.02.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its Pro Rata Share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

Section 3.01. Yield Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of any assignee, after the date it became a party to this Agreement), the adoption of any law (including any CPA Change) or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(a) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation, or

(b) subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in parts (b) through (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or

(c) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its Advances, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its Advances, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Advances, in each case by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, of making or maintaining its Advances or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, in connection with such Advances or Commitment, then, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in Section 3.01(b), this Section 3.01 shall not apply to any tax-related matters.

Section 3.02. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any Lending Installation of such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity which such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (a) any change after the Closing Date in the Risk Based Capital Guidelines, or (b) any adoption of or change in any other law (including any CPA Change), governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the Closing Date which affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk Based Capital Guidelines” means (a) the risk based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the Closing Date, including transition rules, and (b) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the Closing Date.

Section 3.03. [Reserved.]

Section 3.04. [Reserved.]

Section 3.05. Taxes.

(a) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.05) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(b) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.05) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of its Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes written demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.06. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, on or before the date that it becomes party to this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal income taxes and in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and is not a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (ii) to the extent the Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8IMY and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders all such forms inapplicable or that would prevent such

Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of U.S. federal income tax. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to provide certification evidencing a complete exemption from U.S. withholding taxes as required in this Section 3.05(d) shall not prevent a Person from becoming a Non-U.S. Lender under this Agreement (including for purposes of Section 12.03 in the case of a transfer), but shall affect such Person’s entitlement to indemnification or gross-up under this Section 3.05 as provided herein.

(e) Each Lender that is incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, on or before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax. Each U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such U.S. Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of U.S. federal income tax.

(f) For any period during which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (d) or (e) of this Section 3.05 (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification or gross-up under this Section 3.05 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Lender that is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (d) or (e) of this Section 3.05, the Borrower shall take such steps at such Lender’s expense as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.05(g), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudge the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(h) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Entity of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (but only to the extent that the

Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.05(h) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

(i) In the case of an Administrative Agent or Lender that would be subject to withholding tax imposed by FATCA on payments made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document if such Administrative Agent or Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall provide such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Administrative Agent or Lender has complied with such Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any such payments.

(j) If a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.05 it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.05 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Entity with respect to such refund); provided that (i) the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Entity) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Entity and (ii) nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(k) Each party’s obligation under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 3.06. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.05, so long as such designation is not, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Lender, materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.05. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.05 for any amounts paid or losses incurred by such Lender as to which such Lender has not made demand hereunder within 120 days after the date such Lender has actual knowledge of such amounts or losses and their applicability to the lending transactions contemplated hereby. The obligations of the Borrower under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.05 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

Section 5.02. Authorization and Validity. Each of the Loan Parties has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate or other organizational proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which each such Loan Party is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.

Section 5.03. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate (a) any applicable law, rule, regulation, ruling, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Property of such Person or (b) the Borrower’s or any Material Domestic Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by laws, or operating or other management agreement, or substantially equivalent governing document, as the case may be, or (c) the provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, deed of trust, license, lease indenture, instrument, agreement or other obligation (each a “Contract”) to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with, result in a breach of any provision thereof or constitute a default thereunder (or result in an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder), or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or (except for the Liens created by the Loan Documents and Permitted Liens) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such note, bond, mortgage, deed of trust, license, lease indenture, instrument, agreement or other obligation, except with respect to clause (a) or (c), to the extent, individually or in the aggregate, that such violation, conflict, breach, default or creation or imposition of any lien could not reasonably be expect to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by the Borrower or any of its Material Domestic Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by the Borrower or any of its Material Domestic Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.

Section 5.09. ERISA; Labor Matters.

(a) No Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Single Employer Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries nor any other member of the Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Multiemployer Plan or has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability (other than that which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal. No ERISA Event with respect to any Single Employer Plan has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) None of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any member of the Controlled Group participates in, or is required to contribute to, any “multiemployer plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA) (a “Multiemployer Plan”).

(d) Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to any employee benefit plan, program, policy, arrangement or agreement maintained or contributed to by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to employees employed outside the United States (a “Foreign Plan”), (i) each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities; and (ii) all Foreign Plans that are required to be funded are funded in accordance with applicable Laws, and with respect to all other Foreign Plans, adequate reserves therefore have been established on the accounting statements of the Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary.

Section 5.10. Accuracy of Information.

(a) As of the Closing Date, no information, exhibit or report (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender (other than projections and other forward looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Section 6.22. Board Observer Rights.

(a) On and after the Closing Date, for so long as any Loans are outstanding, the Required Lenders may from time to time by notice to the Borrower appoint (or replace and appoint) one observer nominated by the Required Lenders (the “Lender Observer”) who shall have the right to attend any in person or telephonic or other digitally convened meetings of the board of directors of the Borrower or any other governing body of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries; provided, that, the Lender Observer shall satisfy the governance requirements applicable to the Borrower’s board of directors and (ii) the Lender Observer shall have executed a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the Borrower prior to attending any meetings of the board of directors of the Borrower.

(b) The Borrower shall deliver to the Required Lenders notice of all meetings (whether in person, telephonically or in other digital manner) of the board of directors of the Borrower or any other governing body of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and provide the Required Lenders with all information and materials that are distributed to all attendees of such meetings at the same time they are given or distributed to such other attendees, and deliver copies of or a summary of any material actions taken by such board of directors or governing body, as applicable, at such meetings promptly following such meeting; provided

that the Required Lenders may be excluded from receiving the relevant portions of any such information, materials, actions or summaries if the Borrower reasonably determines that such exclusion is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest between the Borrower and the Required Lenders or to protect attorney-client privilege, so long as, in each case, the Borrower notifies the Required Lenders of such determination.

Section 6.23. Subsidiary Guarantees. On the Closing Date and thereafter, on or before the 30th day following each date required for delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), the Borrower shall cause the following entities to be or become Guarantors hereunder: (i) each Material Domestic Subsidiary at such time, (ii) other Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries such that, after giving effect thereto, the Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are Guarantors (considered without duplication and without consolidation with any of their respective Subsidiaries that are Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) account for at least (A) 90% of the total consolidated assets and (B) 90% of the total consolidated revenues, in each case of the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries determined for the most recent fiscal quarter then ended (in the case of (A)) or most recent fiscal year then ended (in the case of (B)) and (iii) each Subsidiary that guarantees the Borrower’s obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement and any permitted refinancing thereof. To effect the foregoing, the Borrower shall cause an Authorized Officer of each Subsidiary that is so required to become a Guarantor at such time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a joinder agreement under the Guaranty in a form (together with any related certificates and opinions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent at which time any Authorized Officer becomes aware that a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary has become a Material Domestic Subsidiary.

Section 6.24. Collateral. Effective upon any Subsidiary becoming a Guarantor after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall cause such Guarantor within fifteen Business Days after becoming a Guarantor (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a second (subject to Permitted Liens) priority security interest in all assets (including real property and the Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries) of such Guarantor pursuant to documentation (including related certificates and opinions) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower will, and will cause the Borrower and each of the Guarantors to, at the expense of the Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Administrative Agent from time to time such schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (a) neither the Borrower nor any other Guarantor shall be obligated hereby to grant a security interest in any asset if the granting of such security interest would result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation, (b) the Collateral shall not include a security interest in any asset if the granting of such security interest would be prohibited by enforceable anti-assignment provisions of contracts or applicable law (after giving effect to relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code), (c) fee-owned real property having an individual fair market value of less than $2,500,000 or aggregate fair market value of less than $10,000,000 shall be excluded from the Collateral, (d) the Collateral shall not include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable or Portfolio Securities, or deposit or security accounts (except to the extent that the foregoing are proceeds of Collateral; provided that in no event shall any control agreements be required) containing any of the foregoing, other assets requiring perfection through control agreements, letter-of-credit rights, leasehold real property, motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title (other than any corporate aircraft), interests in certain joint ventures and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries which cannot be pledged without the consent of one or more third parties and obligations the interest on which is wholly exempt from the taxes imposed by subtitle A of the Code, (e) the pledge of the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries shall be limited to 65% of the Capital Stock of material first-tier Foreign Subsidiaries, (f) the Administrative Agent shall have the discretion to exclude from the Collateral immaterial assets, assets as to which it and the Borrower determine that the cost of obtaining such security interest would outweigh the benefit to the Lenders and other assets in which it may determine that the taking of a security interest would not be advisable, and (g) no foreign law security or pledge agreements shall be required.

Section 6.25. [Reserved.]

Section 6.26. Anti-Corruption Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, conduct its businesses in compliance in all material respects with (i) the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Xxxxxxx Xxx 0000, and other similar anti-corruption legislation in other jurisdictions that are applicable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and (ii) applicable Sanctions and anti-money laundering laws and regulations, and maintain policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws.

Section 6.27. Term Financial Covenant. The Secured Leverage Ratio, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2019), shall not be greater than 5.500:1.000.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, if (1) the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.27 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and (2) at any time after such fiscal quarter until the date that is 15 days after the date the Borrower is required to deliver financial statements with respect to such period pursuant to Section 6.01, the Borrower receives a cash contribution to its equity capital in exchange for common shares of its Capital Stock and gives written notice to the Administrative Agent that such cash contribution has been received and all or a portion thereof constitutes a Specified Equity Contribution (any amount so identified, a “Specified Equity Contribution”), then the amount of such Specified Equity Contribution will be deemed to be an increase to Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.27 at the end of such fiscal quarter (and for purposes of determining compliance with future periods that include such fiscal quarter) (but such Specified Equity Contribution shall not be included for purposes of determining the Basket Amount or any other purposes hereunder, and there shall be no reduction in Indebtedness pursuant to any cash netting provision with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution for the fiscal quarter for which such Specified Equity Contribution was made); provided that (A) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be a period of at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution is made for purposes of curing a failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.27, and no more than four Specified Equity Contributions may be made from the Closing Date through the Maturity Date made for purposes of curing a failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.27 and (B) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with Section 6.27. If after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations the Borrower shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.27, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default in respect of such covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of this Agreement. From the date on which the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent written notice of a Specified Equity Contribution with respect to a fiscal period until the 15th day after financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 for such fiscal period, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any relevant Secured Party shall exercise any rights or remedies with respect to a breach of Section 6.27 with respect to such fiscal period.

Section 6.28. Limitations on Dispositions of Material Registered IP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) no Loan Party shall lease, sell or otherwise dispose of its Material Registered IP to any Person that is not a Loan Party, (ii) no Non-Guarantor Subsidiary shall lease, sell or otherwise dispose of its Material Registered IP to any Person that is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower and (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may enter into non-exclusive licenses, sublicenses, leases or subleases of Material Registered IP entered into in the ordinary course of business that do not materially impair their use in the operation of the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 6.18(l).

ARTICLE 8

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

Section 8.01. Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.06 or 7.07 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, subject to Section 8.02 below, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may declare the Obligations to be due and payable, whereupon, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives. In the event of an acceleration of the Obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this

Section 8.01, then, without any further action by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, there shall be an amount due and payable to the Lenders equal to the applicable Call Premium or such other amount referred to in Section 2.10(b) that would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.10(b) as if the Closing Date Term Loans were voluntarily repaid on such date of acceleration.

Section 8.02. Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.02 and Section 8.04 below and the acknowledgement of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder; provided, however, that the portion of any Loans held by Specified Debt Funds in the aggregate in excess of 20.0% of the Required Amount of Loans shall be disregarded in determining Required Lenders at any time and provided further that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders adversely affected thereby (or in the case of subsections 8.02(b), (d), (e) and (f), all of the Lenders):

(a) Extend the final maturity of any Loan to a date after the Maturity Date or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees hereunder (it being understood that the waiver of default interest pursuant to Section 2.14 shall only require the consent of Required Lenders);

(b) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;

(c) Increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender hereunder (it being understood that any change to or waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Unmatured Defaults or of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase or extension of the Commitments of any Lender);

(d) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement (it being understood that any modification to Section 6.15 or 6.16 shall only require approval of the Required Lenders);

(e) Amend this Section 8.02, Section 2.24, Section 11.02 or any analogous provision in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required hereby (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder on the Closing Date and this Section 8.02 may be amended by the Required Lenders to reflect such extensions of credit);

(f) Release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty, except, in either case, as contemplated by Section 10.10; or

(g) Alter the amount or application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10.

Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that (A) extends the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, (B) alters the amount or application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10 in a manner adverse to the interests of the Lenders or (C) amends Section 6.27.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.01(b)(iv) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the consent of each such Lender directly affected thereby shall be required to (i) increase or extend the Commitment of such Lender, (ii) extend the final maturity of any Loan, (iii) forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or (iv) amend Section 2.24.

At the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall identify from the list of Lenders maintained by the Administrative Agent, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, those Lenders that are Affiliated Lenders.

Section 8.03. [Reserved.]

Section 8.04. Errors. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.02, if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have agreed in their sole and absolute discretion that there is an ambiguity, inconsistency, manifest error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within ten Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (it being understood that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to agree to any such amendment).

Section 8.05. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.02 or as otherwise provided in Section 8.04, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

Section 9.05. Several Obligations; Benefits of This Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Other than as and to the extent specified in Section 12.01(a), this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, each Indemnitee, provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arranger shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.06 and 9.08 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

Section 9.06. Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) (A) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel for the Administrative Agent in any relevant jurisdiction), and (B) all reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one external counsel for the Lenders (taken as a whole), and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel for the Lenders (taken as a whole), in any relevant jurisdiction, in each case under this subclause (i), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and one counsel for the Lenders (taken as a whole) and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel for the Administrative Agent and one local counsel for the Lenders (taken as a whole), in each case in any relevant jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, an additional counsel for each group of similarly affected Persons in each relevant jurisdiction), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitation on reimbursement of legal fees specified above) incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Arranger, each Bookrunner, each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Indemnitees and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, an additional counsel for each group of similarly affected Indemnitees in each relevant jurisdiction), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties

hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability arising under Environmental Laws related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Loan Document by, such Indemnitee or (y) arise from disputes solely among Indemnitees, and in such event solely to the extent that the underlying dispute does not arise as a result of an action, inaction or representation of, or information provided by or on behalf of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any of its Related Parties, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share based on the principal amounts of such Lender’s outstanding Loans (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 9.05.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

Section 9.07. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

Section 9.08. Non-Liability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. The Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or breach of the Loan Documents by, the party from which recovery is sought or any dispute solely between or among the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and/or any Lender and not involving the Borrower, the Sponsors or their respective Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 9.09. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to hold any Information (as defined below) which it or any of its Affiliates may receive from the Borrower in connection with this Agreement (including any and all information received from the Lender Observer) in confidence, except for disclosure (a) to its Affiliates and to the Administrative Agent and any other Lender and their respective Affiliates for use solely in connection with the performance of their respective obligations hereunder contemplated hereby, (b) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender, (c) to regulatory or self-regulatory officials, (d) to any Person as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (f) to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, provided that each such Person agreed to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as provided under this Section 9.09, (g) permitted by Section 12.02, (h) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances hereunder, (i) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Agreement, (j) in connection with a due diligence defense, (k) to bank market-data collectors and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications or (l) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and such source is not known by the Person receiving such Information to be in violation of this Section 9.09. Without limiting Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that the terms of this Section 9.09 shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrower and each Lender (including the Administrative Agent) with respect to any Information previously or hereafter received by such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 9.09 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by such Lender with respect to such Information. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their agents or representatives relating to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their agents or other representatives or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to

disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The parties hereto agree that all information received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Lender Observer shall constitute “Information” for purposes of this Section 9.09 unless such information is available to the Administrative Agent or such Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Lender Observer.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 9.09 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

Section 9.10. Non-Reliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) for the repayment of the Credit Extensions provided for herein.

any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower nor any Loan Party nor any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the Loan Parties and any of their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower and each Loan Party hereby waive and release any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

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

Section 9.15. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

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

(b) As used in this Section 9.15, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

Section 10.01. Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as Collateral and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Article 8, Article 9 and this Article 10 (including Section 9.06, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 10.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 10.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such

other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law;

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender;

(e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; and

(f) shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Institutions or Affiliated Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender, prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or Affiliated Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution or Affiliated Lender.

Section 10.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 10.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Section 10.06. Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States and shall in no event be a Disqualified Institution. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, (or such earlier date as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”) then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) The Required Lenders may at any time by notice in writing to the Borrower and the Person then acting as Administrative Agent remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 10.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 10.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners or the Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Section 10.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 9.06) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 9.06.

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

Section 10.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 8.02;

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.18(r).

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.10. In each case as specified in this Section 10.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.10.

Section 10.11. Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into any intercreditor agreement that may become necessary in connection with the incurrence by the Borrower of Indebtedness pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement (including the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and the issuance by the Borrower of any Pari Passu First Lien Notes pursuant to Section 2.25 of the First Lien Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) as attorney-in-fact on behalf of such Lender and agrees that in consideration of the benefits of the security being provided to such Lender in accordance with the Collateral Documents and any such intercreditor agreement and by acceptance of those benefits, each Lender (including any Lender which becomes such by assignment pursuant to Section 12.01 after the date hereof) shall be bound by the terms and provisions of any such intercreditor agreement and shall comply (and shall cause any Affiliate thereof which is the holder of any “second priority obligations” (or similar term) to comply) with such terms and provisions.

Section 10.12. The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet.

ARTICLE 11

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

Section 11.01. Setoff. If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the

account of the Borrower against any of and all the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be unmatured; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.26 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.01 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 11.02. Ratable Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant pursuant to Section 12.01.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “trade date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the trade date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Loans, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii) Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii) No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition, the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, an Affiliated Lender or a Specified Debt Fund;

(iv) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (and such Assignment and Assumption shall include a representation by any Affiliated Lender party thereto as to its status as an Affiliated Lender), together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No such assignment shall be made (x) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates (other than Specified Debt Funds) or Subsidiaries (except with respect to the assignment of Loans in accordance with Section 12.01(h) or 12.01(i)) or (y) to any person that is a Disqualified Institution at the time of such assignment.

(vi) No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the Closing Date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease

to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.05 and 9.06 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.01(d).

Each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not make an assignment of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans to any Disqualified Institution.

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

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons) or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 12.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.01(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.01 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.02 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States of America on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not sell any participations of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans to any person who is a Disqualified Institution at the time of such sale.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a foreign lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.05 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.05(d) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) [Reserved.]

(h) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans to any Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures or (y) open market purchases, subject to the following limitations:

(i) [Reserved];

(ii) Affiliated Lenders will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in, meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of borrowings hereunder, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article 2; and

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at such time under this Agreement.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in Section 12.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to have been voted pro rata in accordance with the votes of all Lenders other than Affiliated Lenders for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any such actions.

(i) If any assignment is made (i) to an Affiliated Lender such that the aggregate principal amount of Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders described in subsection (h)(iii) above exceeds 25% (a “Disqualified Affiliated Lender”) or (ii) to a Disqualified Institution (a “Disqualified Assignee” and, together with the Disqualified Affiliated Lender, the “Disqualified Assignees”), in each case notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Section 12.01(i), such Disqualified Assignee shall be required immediately (and in any event within five Business Days) to assign all such Loans then-owned by

such Disqualified Assignee in violation of this Section 12.01(i) to another Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or Eligible Assignee (and the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance in any applicable court of law or equity to enforce this sentence). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for monitoring assignments to, or reversing payments made to, any Disqualified Assignee following its receipt of an assignment.

(j) So long as no Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures or (y) open markets purchases, subject to the following limitations and other provisions:

(i) The Borrower shall represent and warrant as of the date of any such purchase and assignment that neither the Borrower nor any of its directors or officers has any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or securities that has not been disclosed to the assigning Lender (other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries or securities) prior to such date to the extent such information could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to the Borrower as applicable;

(ii) The Borrower will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in, meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent;

(iii) [Reserved];

(iv) any Loans purchased by the Borrower shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower;

(v) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in the definitions of “Consolidated Net Income” and “Consolidated EBITDA”) any non-cash gains in respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Loans purchased by the Borrower or the Borrower shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA; and

(vi) the cancellation of Loans in connection with a Dutch Auction shall not constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.10.

(k) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

Section 12.02. Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, actual or proposed assignee of an interest in the Obligations or Loan Documents (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by an agreement with provisions at least as restrictive as those provided under Section 9.09 of this Agreement.

Section 12.03. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.05(d) or (e), as applicable.

THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Solely to the extent any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as a Lender hereunder (in such capacity, “BofA”), has advised the Borrower that BofA is contemplating to assign its Loans to one or more third parties (the “BofA Assignees”) within five Business Days after the Closing Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, BofA has requested and directed the Borrower to, and the Borrower agrees to, not issue BofA its pro rata share of the Warrants (the “Assignment Warrants”) on the Closing Date and instead issue the Assignment Warrants directly to the BofA Assignees promptly upon BofA notifying the Borrower in writing that an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which 100% of BofA’s Loans have been assigned to the BofA Assignees has been fully executed and delivered and become effective (the “BoA Assignment”). If the BoA Assignment is not consummated within five Business Days after the Closing Date, BofA may direct the Borrower to (a) issue the Assignment Warrants directly to BofA, (b) issue the Assignment Warrants to one or more other assignees of BofA’s Loans or (c) to continue to defer the issuance of the Assignment Warrants pending further instructions from BofA.
