The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

The Term Loan Commitments are not revolving in nature, and amounts repaid or prepaid prior to the Termination Date may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan Commitments shall terminate automatically immediately after the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date (and for the avoidance of doubt, any Term Loan Commitments not funded on the Closing Date will be terminated). The Closing Date Lenders shall be Lenders for all purposes hereunder.

2.2 Term Loans. The Term Loans (i) may at the option of the Borrower be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or SOFR Rate Loans; provided, that all Term Loans made by each of the Closing Date Lenders on the Closing Date shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Term Loans of the same Type, (ii) may be repaid or prepaid (without premium or penalty, other than as set forth in Sections 4.2 and 5.4), but once repaid or prepaid, may not be re-borrowed, (iii) shall not exceed for any Lender the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender, and (iv) shall not exceed in the aggregate the sum of the Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders. On the Termination Date, all then outstanding Term Loans shall be repaid in full in Dollars. Each Term Loan made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in Dollars.

2.3 Loan Administration.

(a) Procedure for Borrowing.

(i) The Borrowing on the Closing Date shall be made upon the Borrower’s written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (“Notice of Borrowing”) delivered to the Agent. Such Notice of Borrowing must be received by the Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City Time) one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, specifying: (A) the amount of such Borrowing; (B) whether such Borrowing is to be a SOFR Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Borrowing); and (C) in the case of a request for SOFR Rate Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one month).

(b) Reliance upon Authority. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a notice setting forth the account of the Borrower (such account, together with any replacement account, the “Designated Account”) to which the Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Term Loans requested hereunder unless otherwise directed in writing by the Borrower. The Agent is entitled to rely conclusively on any Person’s request for Term Loans on behalf of the Borrower, so long as the proceeds thereof are to be transferred to the Designated Account or to another account designated by the Borrower in writing. The Agent has no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing himself or herself as a person authorized by the Borrower to make such requests on its behalf.

-78-

(c) No Liability. The Agent shall not incur any liability to the Borrower as a result of acting upon any notice referred to in Section 2.3(a) or (b), which the Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an officer or other person duly authorized by the Borrower to request Term Loans on its behalf. The wiring of Term Loans to the Designated Account conclusively establishes the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Term Loans as provided herein.

(d) Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing made pursuant to Section 2.3(a) shall be irrevocable; provided that such Notice of Borrowing may be rescinded or revised, to change the requested date for the making of the Term Loans contemplated thereby, by the Borrower giving written notice to the Agent prior to 12:00 noon (New York City Time) (or, such later time as the Required Lenders may approve in their sole discretion) on the date of the proposed Borrowing. The Borrower shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith.

2.4 [Reserved].

2.5 [Reserved].

2.6 [Reserved].

2.7 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) the Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 12.1); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately when compared to the other affected Lenders, or increases or extends the Term Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Term Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the 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 that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Obligor as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Obligor against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loans, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Term Loans of the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied in the manner set forth in this clause (b); and

(c) in the event that the Agent and the Borrower each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the obligations and participations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Term Loans of

-79-

the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Term Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; 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; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 14.21, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.8 Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree (i) that the Term Loans will be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) that the Term Loans are not governed by the rules set out in Section 1.1275-4 of the United States Treasury Regulations, and (iii) to adhere to this Agreement for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not to file any tax return, report or declaration inconsistent with the foregoing, except as otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. The inclusion of this Section 2.8 is not an admission by any Lender that it is subject to U.S. taxation.

ARTICLE III

INTEREST AND FEES

3.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rates. All outstanding Term Loans to the Borrower shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin, but not to exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time Term Loans are outstanding with respect to which the Borrower has not delivered to the Agent a notice specifying the basis for determining the interest rate applicable thereto in accordance herewith, those Term Loans shall be treated as Base Rate Loans until notice to the contrary has been given to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and such notice has become effective. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Term Loans shall bear interest as follows:

(i) For all Base Rate Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) For all SOFR Rate Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

Each change in the Base Rate (or any component thereof) shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such change. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). On the last Business Day of each calendar quarter hereafter and on the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, interest accrued from the last Business Day of the preceding calendar quarter to the last Business Day of such calendar quarter (or accrued to the Termination Date in the case of a payment on the Termination Date) on all Base Rate Loans in arrears. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, interest on all SOFR Rate Loans in arrears on each SOFR Interest Payment Date.

-80-

(b) Default Rate. To the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of the Required Lenders by written notice to the Borrower (provided that such written notice shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.1(e), (f) or (g)), the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Term Loans, fees, indemnities or any other Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall bear interest, from the date such Event of Default occurred (and, for the avoidance of doubt, regardless of when any written notice thereof (to the extent required) is provided to the Borrower) until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Default Rate.

(c) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

(d) Subject to Section 5.5, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Rate Loan:

(i) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(ii) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Rate Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Term Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent,

then the Agent shall give written notice to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Rate Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Rate Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Rate Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Rate Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.4. Subject to Section 5.5, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent revokes such determination.

-81-

3.2 Continuation and Conversion Elections.

(a) The Borrower may (provided that the Borrowing of SOFR Rate Loans is then permitted under Section 2.3(a)):

(i) elect with written notice, one Business Day prior, by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), to convert any Base Rate Loans (or any part thereof) into SOFR Rate Loans; and

(ii) elect with written notice, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any SOFR Rate Loans (or any part thereof) having Interest Periods expiring on such day;

provided that if the Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period shall be one month.

(b) The Borrower shall deliver a notice of continuation/conversion substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Continuation/Conversion”) to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date if the Term Loans are to be converted into or continued as SOFR Rate Loans and specifying:

(i) the proposed Continuation/Conversion Date;

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to be converted or continued;

(iii) the Type of Term Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

(iv) the duration of the requested Interest Period, provided, however, the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that ends after the Stated Termination Date.

(c) If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any SOFR Rate Loans, the Borrower fails to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such SOFR Rate Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such SOFR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period. If any Event of Default exists, at the election of the Agent or the Required Lenders, all SOFR Rate Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans as of the expiration date of each applicable Interest Period.

(d) The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation/Conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

(e) There may not be more than ten different SOFR Rate Loans in effect hereunder at any time.

3.3 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable under applicable law with respect to loans of the Type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month

-82-

shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 3.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the Borrower such excess.

3.4 Closing Fees and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Arrangers, as applicable, all fees due and payable on any date required for payment of a fee under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, as provided under the Fee Letter and Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 5.4).

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

4.1 Payments and Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans to the Agent for the account of each Lender (i) commencing at the end of the first full calendar quarter ending after the calendar quarter that includes the Closing Date, and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December thereafter (prior to the Stated Termination Date) in an amount equal to 1.25% per calendar quarter ending on the last Business Day of the calendar quarter ending immediately prior to the Stated Termination Date of the original principal amount of the Term Loans, as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 4.1(c), and (ii) on the Stated Termination Date, in an amount equal to the remainder of the principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on such date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b) [reserved].

(c) The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in Sections 4.2 and 5.4); provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of SOFR Rate Loans and (B) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; provided, further, that, each prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Term Loans to be prepaid

-83-

and, if SOFR Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Term Loans. The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share). All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be accompanied by any accrued interest and other amounts as required by Sections 3.1, 4.2 and 5.4.

(d) Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Any prepayment of any Class of Term Loan pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be applied as specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment, ratably among the Lenders; provided, in the event the Borrower fails to specify the Class of Term Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied ratably to succeeding scheduled principal installments under the Term Loan Facility.

4.2 Prepayment Premium.

(a) In the event that (i) the Borrower makes any prepayment or repayment of the Term Loans (excluding any prepayments or repayments (A) made pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or Section 4.3(c)(ii) (in respect of any Cure Amount) and (B) required amortization payments under Section 4.1) or (ii) the Term Loans are accelerated for any reason (including in connection with the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, a fee in an amount equal to (1) a prepayment premium of 3.00% (or, in the case of any prepayment made pursuant to Section 4.3(c) in respect of the IPO Prepayment, 2.00%) of the principal amount of Term Loans (x) being prepaid or repaid or (y) outstanding on the date of such acceleration, as the case may be, in the case of such prepayments or repayments, or such acceleration, occurring on or prior to first anniversary of the Closing Date, (2) a prepayment premium of 2.00% of the principal amount of Term Loans (x) being prepaid or repaid or (y) outstanding on the date of such acceleration, as the case may be, in the case of such prepayments or repayments, or such acceleration, occurring after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (3) a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount of Term Loans (x) being prepaid or repaid or (y) outstanding on the date of such acceleration, as the case may be, in the case of such prepayments or repayments, or such acceleration, occurring after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the Stated Termination Date. No payment or prepayment premium shall be due on account of any payments or prepayments made on the Stated Termination Date.

(b) Any prepayment premium payable in accordance with this Section 4.2 shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of the applicable prepayment event and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACCELERATION.

(c) The Borrower expressly agrees that: (i) such prepayment premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (ii) such prepayment premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay such prepayment premium; (iv) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; (v) the Borrower’s agreement to such prepayment premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Term Loan Commitments and make the Term Loans, and (vi) such prepayment premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such prepayment or event.

-84-

4.3 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Excess Cash Flow. Commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2022, not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or (b), as the case may be (the “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”), for each Excess Cash Flow Period commencing with the Excess Cash Flow Period ended on September 30, 2022, the Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid), in accordance with Section 4.3(e), Term Loans with a principal amount equal to the Applicable ECF Percentage. If following delivery of the audited financial statements of Holdings for any Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 6.2(a), such audited financial statements show that the Applicable ECF Percentage for such Fiscal Year was greater than the Applicable ECF Percentage calculated for such Fiscal Year based upon the unaudited quarterly financial statements delivered to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 6.2(b) (the amount of such discrepancy, the “ECF True-up Amount”), then the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.3(e) in an amount equal to the ECF True-up Amount within three (3) Business Days after delivery of such audited financial statements to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 6.2(a).

(b) Permitted Dispositions and Casualty Events. No later than ten (10) days after receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from any Permitted Disposition (other than Dispositions permitted under clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) (to the extent constituting a Disposition to an Obligor), (k), (m), (o), (p), (r) or (u) of the definition of “Permitted Disposition”) or Casualty Event (to the extent that (x) the Net Cash Proceeds of such Permitted Disposition or Casualty Event, individually, exceeds $5,000,000 and (y) the Net Cash Proceeds of all Permitted Dispositions and Casualty Events in any Fiscal Year exceeds $10,000,000 in any Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the applicable amount set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) in accordance with Section 4.3(e); provided, that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have the option to (i) invest such Net Cash Proceeds within 360 days of receipt thereof in assets used or useful in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) enter into a legally binding commitment to invest such Net Cash Proceeds within 360 days of receipt thereof in assets used or useful in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that such Net Cash Proceeds are so reinvested within the later to occur of (A) 360 days of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (B) 180 days following the expiration of such initial 360 day period; provided, further, that in the event that such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to the last day of such 360 day period or 540 day period, as the case may be, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the applicable amount set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) and in accordance with Section 4.3(e).

(c) Debt Issuances; Cure Amount and IPO. In the event that (i) the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Debt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Permitted Debt) or (ii) the Borrower receives any Cure Amount in connection with the exercise of its Cure Right, the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the next succeeding Business Day) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiary or Cure Amount by the Borrower, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds or such Cure Amount to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.3(e). In addition, upon the consummation of the IPO Transactions and the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds by any Parent Entity, Holdings or the Borrower in connection therewith, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after any such Person’s receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, apply an amount equal to the IPO Prepayment Amount to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.3(e) (the “IPO Prepayment”). For the avoidance of doubt, all Net Cash Proceeds that are not required to be

-85-

applied to the Term Loans under this Section 4.3(c) and Section 4.3(e) (including fifty percent (50%) of all Declined Proceeds after the second offer of prepayment is made pursuant to Section 4.3(e) hereof)) shall be retained by the Borrower for any use not prohibited hereunder including, without limitation, the prepayment of the Back-Stop Note in accordance with Section 8.13(i)(B), the prepayment of the Equify Bridge Note in accordance with Section 8.13(i)(C) and the making of the PubCo Distribution in accordance with Section 8.10(n).

(d) Payment Certificate. At least three Business Days prior to any payment of the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 4.3 by 2:00 p.m., the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written notice along with a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be. In the event that the Borrower subsequently determines that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional payment of the Term Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

(e) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Except as set forth in Section 10.3, all amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be applied by the Agent to the succeeding scheduled principal installments under the Term Loan Facility in direct order of maturity. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be accompanied by any accrued interest and other amounts as required by Sections 3.1, 4.2 and 5.4. Any Lender may elect, by written notice to the Agent at or prior to 3:00 p.m. one Business Day prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.3(b) or (c), to decline all (or any portion) of its Pro Rata Share of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”), in which case such Declined Proceeds shall be offered to other Lenders in the manner specified by the Agent, with any further Declined Proceeds to then be retained and used by the Borrower as follows: (i) 50% of such Declined Proceeds to be used by the Borrower for any purpose permitted hereunder and (ii) 50% of such Declined Proceeds to be applied to the Loans (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) under the ABL Credit Agreement. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Agent of its election to decline receipt of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.

4.4 SOFR Rate Loan Prepayments. In connection with any prepayment, if any SOFR Rate Loans are prepaid prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall comply with Section 5.4.

4.5 Payments by the Borrower.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders entitled thereto, at the account designated by the Agent and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Agent after such time may, in the Agent’s discretion, be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period,” whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

-86-

4.6 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders to which such payment is owed (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans to which such payments owed are held by each such Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably (or other applicable share as provided herein) among the Lenders to which such payment is owed, except for fees payable solely to the Agent or any Arranger. Whenever any payment received by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Agent and applied by the Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 10.3. If the Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Obligors under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Term Loans at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Term Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payments which it receives to any SOFR Rate Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such SOFR Rate Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans and, in such event, the Borrower shall pay SOFR breakage losses in accordance with Section 5.4.

4.7 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Agent, any Lender, or any other Secured Party is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then such Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent, such Lender, or such other Secured Party, and the Borrower shall be liable to pay to the Agent, the Lenders, or such other Secured Party and hereby do indemnify the Agent, the Lenders, or such other Secured Party and hold the Agent, the Lenders, or such other Secured Party harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any release of Collateral or guarantors, cancellation or return of Loan Documents, or other contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent, any Lender, or such other Secured Party in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent’s, the Lenders’, or such other Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

4.8 Agent’s and Lenders’ Books and Records. The Agent shall record the principal amount of the Term Loans owing to each Lender on its books. In addition, each Lender may note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender’s Term Loans in its books and records. Failure by the Agent or any Lender to make such notation shall not affect the

-87-

obligations of the Borrower with respect to the Term Loans. The Borrower agrees that the Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttable presumptive proof thereof (absent manifest error), irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrower and an account stated (absent manifest error and except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided in Section 4.6 and corrections of errors discovered by the Agent), unless the Borrower notifies the Agent in writing to the contrary within 30 days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by the Borrower, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrower.

ARTICLE V

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

5.1 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all payments by or on behalf of an Obligor to a Lender or the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes. If any applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of such Withholding Agent) to deduct or withhold any Tax from any payment to a Recipient under this Agreement or any Loan Document, then (i) such Withholding Agent shall make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and (ii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after all such required deductions and withholdings are made (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.1) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of a payment made to the Agent for its own account, the Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, all Other Taxes when due.

(b) Indemnification by Obligors. The Obligors agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.1) paid or payable by any Lender or the Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender or the Agent and any reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 10 days after the date such Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor in accordance with Section 5.6. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after the date of any payment by an Obligor of Taxes to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.1, the relevant Obligor shall furnish the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

-88-

(d) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (d)(i), (ii) and (iv) of this Section) 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 prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(ii) any Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such non-U.S. Person becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) In the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States in a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two duly executed copies of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 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, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

-89-

(D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner, two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if such Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii) any Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the applicable Withholding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv) if any payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.1(d), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) that it is not legally eligible to deliver. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to deliver to the Obligors and to any successor Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Agent pursuant to this Section 5.1(d).

(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5.1(e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

-90-

Section 5.1(e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.1(e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 5.1(e) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f) The Agent shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed original copies of, if it is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding, and, if it is not a U.S. Person, (1) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments to be received by it as a beneficial owner and (2) IRS Form W-8IMY (together with required accompanying documentation) with respect to payments to be received by it on behalf of the Lenders, certifying that, for such purpose, it is a U.S. branch that has agreed to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal tax purposes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (f), the Agent shall not be required to deliver any documentation that the Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change in Law after the Agreement Date.

(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments, the expiration or cancellation of all letters of credit and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

5.2 Illegality.

(a) If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Term Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the SOFR Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon the SOFR Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Rate Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Rate Loans, shall be suspended, and (ii) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until each affected Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any affected Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if any affected Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Rate Loans to such day, in each case until the Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the SOFR Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.4.

-91-

5.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If any Lender determines that due to any Change in Law occurring after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost (including Taxes) to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding, continuing, converting to or maintaining any SOFR Rate Loans (other than any increase in cost resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, or (iii) Connection Income Taxes), then, subject to clause (c) of this Section 5.3, the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that due to any Change in Law in respect of any Capital Adequacy Regulation occurring after the later of the Agreement Date or the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement that affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender and such Lender (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s or other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity is required to be increased as a consequence of its Term Loan Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, subject to clause (c) of this Section 5.3, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase.

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.3 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances for similarly situated borrowers under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.

5.4 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of the Borrower to borrow a SOFR Rate Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing;

(b) the failure of the Borrower to continue a SOFR Rate Loan or convert a Term Loan into a SOFR Rate Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or

(c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of any SOFR Rate Loans on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period (including, without limitation, any payment in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5.8), including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its SOFR Rate Loans (but not in respect of lost profits) or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

-92-

5.5 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Rate Loan:

(i) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

then the Agent shall give written notice to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Rate Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Rate Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Rate Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Rate Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.4. If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent revokes such determination.

(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (i) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

-93-

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

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrower of (A) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 5.5(e) and (B) the commencement and expiration of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 5.5, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 5.5.

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

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

5.6 Certificates of Agent. If the Agent or any Lender claims reimbursement or compensation under this Article V, the Agent or the affected Lender shall determine the amount thereof and shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Agent or the affected Lender, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error; provided that, except for compensation under Section 5.1, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the Agent or such

-94-

Lender any compensation attributable to any period prior to the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the date on which the Agent or such Lender first gave notice to the Borrower of the circumstances entitling such Lender to compensation. The Borrower shall pay the Agent or such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

5.7 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower and each Recipient in this Article V shall survive the assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

5.8 Assignment of Term Loan Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. In the event (a) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 5.3, (b) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 5.2, (c) Holdings or any Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.1, (d) [reserved] or (e) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing fee referred to in Section 12.2(a)), upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any Law or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (ii) except in the case of clause (d) or (e) above, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to such Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of 100% of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Term Loans of such Lender, plus all fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder (including any amounts under Sections 3.4, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4), (iv) such assignment is consummated within 180 days after the date on which the Borrower’s right under this Section 5.8 arises, in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such payments thereafter, and (v) if the consent of the Agent is required pursuant to Section 12.2, such consents are obtained; provided, further, that if prior to any such assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s request or notice under Section 5.2 or 5.3 or demand for additional amounts under Section 5.1, as the case may be, shall cease to exist or become inapplicable for any reason, or if such Lender shall waive its rights in respect of such circumstances or event under Section 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make such assignment hereunder. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 12.2 within two Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 5.8 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 5.8, the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated), upon receipt by the replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid under this Section 5.8, to execute such an Assignment and Acceptance on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Acceptance so executed by the Borrower, the replacement Lender and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 12.2, the Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 5.8 and Section 12.2.

ARTICLE VI

BOOKS AND RECORDS; FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NOTICES

6.1 Books and Records. Holdings shall maintain, and shall cause the Borrower and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to maintain, at all times, proper books and records and accounts prepared in conformity with GAAP consistently applied in respect of all material financial transactions and matters involving all material assets, business and activities of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Holdings shall maintain, and shall cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to maintain, at all times books and records pertaining to the Collateral in such detail, form and scope as is consistent in all material respects with good business practice or consistent with past practice.

6.2 Financial Information. Holdings shall promptly furnish to the Agent (for further distribution to each Lender):

(i) declare the Term Loans to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(e), 10.1(f), or 10.1(g) with respect to any Obligor, all Term Loans shall automatically become immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any kind; and

-136-

(ii) pursue its other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable Law.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any intercreditor or subordination agreement or arrangements then in effect: (i) the Agent shall have, for the benefit of the respective Secured Parties, in addition to all other rights of the Agent and the Lenders, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Loan Documents or the UCC; (ii) the Agent may (with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders), at any time, take possession of the respective Collateral and keep it on the Obligors’ premises, at no cost to the Agent or any Lender, or remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Agent may desire, or the Borrower shall, and shall cause their Restricted Subsidiaries to, upon the Agent’s demand (with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders), at the Borrower’s cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place reasonably convenient to the Agent; and (iii) the Agent may (with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders) sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Required Lenders deem advisable, in their sole discretion, and may, if the Required Lenders deem it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of any Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new notice of sale. Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the following manner, each Obligor agrees that any notice by the Agent of sale, disposition or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Borrower if such notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least ten (10) days prior to such action to the Borrower at the address specified in or pursuant to Section 14.8. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until the Agent or the Lenders receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the Agent may (with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders) resell the Collateral without further notice to the Borrower or any other Obligor. In the event the Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by judicial process, the Borrower and each other Obligor irrevocably waives: (A) the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required; (B) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (C) any requirement that the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment. The Borrower and the other Obligors agree that the Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person.

10.3 Application of Funds. Subject to any Intercreditor Agreement in effect, if the circumstances described in Section 4.6 have occurred, or after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 10.2 or under any other Loan Document (or after the Term Loan Commitments have automatically been terminated, the Term Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in Section 10.2), including in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied (notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.1(c) and 4.3(e)) by the Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs payable under Section 14.7) payable to the Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (other than in connection with Cash Management Obligations or Obligations in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements);

-137-

Second, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses owing to any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral (but excluding the principal amount of and interest on the Obligations);

Third, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts);

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 14.7), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them (other than in connection with Cash Management Obligations or Obligations in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements);

Fifth, to any other Debt or obligations of any Obligor owing to the Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party under the Loan Documents for which the Agent has received written notice of such Obligations as being outstanding;

Sixth, ratably to pay (i) any amounts owing with respect to any Obligations in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements, until paid in full and (ii) any amounts owing with respect to any Cash Management Obligations, until paid in full;

Seventh, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Obligors that are due and payable to the Agent and the other Secured Parties (other than any Defaulting Lenders) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Agent and the other Secured Parties (other than any Defaulting Lenders) on such date, until paid in full;

Eighth, ratably to pay any Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders, until paid in full; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.

10.4 Permitted Holders’ Right to Cure.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1(c), in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of the Financial Covenant, any of the Permitted Holders, any Parent Entity or any Subsidiary of any Parent Entity (other than Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries) shall have the right, during the period beginning at the end of the last Fiscal Quarter of the applicable Test Period and until the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date on which Financial Statements with respect to the Test Period in which such covenant is being measured are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.2 (such date, the “Cure Deadline”), to make a direct or indirect equity investment in Holdings in cash (the “Cure Right”), which cash shall be promptly contributed by Holdings to the Borrower, and upon the receipt by the Borrower of net proceeds pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right (the “Cure Amount”) and the application by the Borrower of the Cure Amount to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.3(c) and

-138-

Section 4.3(e), the Financial Covenant shall be recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma increase to Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period in an amount equal to such Cure Amount; provided that such pro forma adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA shall be given solely for the purpose of determining the existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Financial Covenant with respect to any Test Period that includes the Fiscal Quarter for which such Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under any Loan Document.

(b) If, after the receipt of the Cure Amount and the recalculations pursuant to clause (a) above, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Covenant during such Test Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Event of Default that had occurred shall be deemed cured; provided that (i) the Cure Right may be exercised on no more than five (5) occasions, (ii) in each four Fiscal Quarter period, there shall be at least two Fiscal Quarters in respect of which no Cure Right is exercised, (iii) with respect to any exercise of the Cure Right, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant, (iv) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for purposes of determining any baskets or ratios with respect to the covenants contained in the Loan Documents and (v) there shall be no pro forma reduction in Debt (by netting or otherwise) with the proceeds of any Cure Amount for determining compliance with the Financial Covenant for any Test Period for which such Cure Amount is deemed applied.

(c) Prior to the Cure Deadline, neither the Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall exercise any rights or remedies under Article X (or under any other Loan Document available during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default) solely on the basis of any actual or purported failure to comply with the Financial Covenant unless such failure is not cured by the Cure Deadline (it being understood that this sentence shall not have any effect on the rights and remedies of the Lenders with respect to any other Default or Event of Default pursuant to any other provision of any Loan Document other than breach of the Financial Covenant); provided, however, that the Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Term Loans prior to receipt of the Cure Amount.

ARTICLE XI

TERM AND TERMINATION

11.1 Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement shall end on the Stated Termination Date unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. The Agent, upon direction from the Required Lenders, may terminate this Agreement without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, all Obligations (other than contingent obligations not then due and payable, Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Obligations) (including all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and any amounts due under Sections 3.1, 4.2 and 5.4) shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until Full Payment of all Obligations, the Borrower shall remain bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall not be relieved of any of its Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall retain all their rights and remedies hereunder (including the Collateral Agent’s Liens in and all rights and remedies with respect to all then-existing and after-arising Collateral).

It is understood that a waiver of any condition precedent or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment or commitment reduction under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not give rise to an all affected Lender vote pursuant to this clause (iii).

(iv) Reserved.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall be effective to increase the obligations or adversely affect the rights of the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Arranger without the consent of the party adversely affected thereby.

provided, however, that (A) Schedule 1.1 hereto (Lenders’ Term Loan Commitments) may be amended from time to time by the Agent alone to reflect assignments of Term Loan Commitments in accordance herewith; (B) no amendment or waiver shall be made to Section 13.17 or to any other provision of any Loan Document as such provisions relate to the rights and obligations of any Arranger without the written consent of such Arranger, as applicable, and (C) the Fee Letter may be amended or waived in a writing signed by the Borrower and the Agent.

12.2 Assignments; Participations.

(a) Any Lender may, with the written consent (in each case, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of (x) the Agent and (y) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Term Loans, the Term Loan Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that (i) an amount less than the minimum amount of $5,000,000 may be assigned if agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent, or if such amount represents all of the Term Loans, the Term Loan Commitments and the other rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder, (ii) no such minimum amount shall apply to any assignment to an Approved Fund or to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender, and (iii) in the case of a prospective assignment to a Disqualified Lender following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any of Sections 10.1(a), (e), (f) or (g), any Affiliate of the Borrower (other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) (such Affiliate, in such capacity, an “Affiliated Lender”) shall have the right, but not an obligation (the “Right of First Refusal”) to purchase the Term Loans, the Term Loan Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, that such Lender intends to sell to such Disqualified Lender, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to such Disqualified Lender, all in accordance with this Section 12.2(a) and Section 12.2(b); provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no consent shall be required for the assignment of Term Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (ii) to the extent required pursuant to the foregoing subclause (y), consent of the Borrower and/or a waiver of the Borrower’s Right of First Refusal shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a written request for consent; provided, further, that (A) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall be given to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (B) such Lender and its Assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, along with an Administrative Questionnaire and any know-your-customer documentation; and (C) the assignor Lender or Assignee shall pay to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 unless the Agent elects to waive such processing fee in their sole discretion. Upon the request of any Lender, the Agent shall, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Agent, to make available the list of Disqualified Lenders to any Lender, any potential assignee or any potential participant for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender.

(b) By its acquisition of Term Loans pursuant to the Right of First Refusal in clause (a) above, an Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:

(i) the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have voted in the same pro-portion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders in the calculation of any Lender vote;

-142-

(ii) the Agent shall vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender in the event that any proceeding under Sections 1126 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any Guarantor (and each Affiliated Lender hereby grants to the Agent a power of attorney, irrevocable and coupled with an interest, to so vote such Affiliated Lender’s claims associated with the Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments in accordance with this 12.2(b)), or, alternatively, to the extent that the foregoing is deemed unenforceable for any reason, such Affiliated Lender shall vote in such proceedings in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders of the same class who are not Affiliated Lenders;

(iii) such Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as an Affiliated Lender (and not in any other capacity), will not be entitled to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or among Lenders to which the Borrower or its representatives are not invited, or (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Agent, the Collateral Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive Notices of Borrowing, pre-payments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents) or (C) make or bring (or participate in) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of the Agent or the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents;

(iv) it shall not have any right to receive advice of counsel to the Agent, the Collateral Agent or to the Lenders (other than Affiliated Lenders) or to challenge the Lenders’ attorney-client privilege; and

(c) Each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the discretion of the Agent and the Required Lenders, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Agent or the Required Lenders may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 12.2(b). In furtherance of the foregoing, each Affiliated Lender agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent any instrument reasonably requested by the Agent or the Required Lenders to evidence the voting of its interest as a Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.2(b) (it being understood and agreed that if such Affiliated Lender fails to promptly execute such instrument such failure shall in no way prejudice any of the rights of the Agent and the Required Lenders under this Section 12.2(b)).

(d) From and after the date that the Agent has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent has received payment of the above-referenced processing fee and the Agent has recorded such assignment in the Register as provided in Section 13.18 herein, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assignor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assignor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

-143-

(e) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection, or priority of any Lien granted by any Obligor to the Agent or any Lender in the applicable Collateral; (ii) such assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Obligor or the performance or observance by any Obligor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assignor Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental powers, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(f) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 12.2(a) and recordation in the Register, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Term Loan Commitments arising therefrom. Each Term Loan Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce the applicable Term Loan Commitment of the assignor Lender pro tanto.

(g) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (a “Participant”), in each case that is not a Disqualified Lender so long as the list of Disqualified Lenders shall have been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower, participating interests in any Term Loans, any Term Loan Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document except the matters set forth in Sections 12.1(a)(ii)(B) and (C) and Section 12.1(a)(iii)(B) and (C), and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section 12.2, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections (including Sections 5.1(d)) and Sections 5.6 and 5.8, to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 12.2 (provided that any documentation required to be provided pursuant to Section 5.1(d) shall be provided

-144-

solely to the Originating Lender and provided further, for the avoidance of doubt, that if the Originating Lender is not a U.S. Person, such Lender shall include a copy of such documentation as an exhibit to its IRS Form W-8IMY in accordance with Section 5.1(d)(ii)(D)).

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement (including its Note, if any) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

(i) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.1 or 5.3 than the Originating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participating interest sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participating interest to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent and (1) the request for such consent discloses that greater payments may be due and (2) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.8 as though it were a Lender, or to the extent that such entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the Participant became a Participant.

ARTICLE XIII

THE APPOINTED AGENTS

13.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints the Agent and the Collateral Agent (collectively, the “Appointed Agents”) as its agents under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes each Appointed Agent, in its respective capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Appointed Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article XIII. The provisions of this Article XIII (other than Sections 13.9, 13.10(a) and 13.10(b)) are solely for the benefit of the Appointed Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall have no rights as third party beneficiaries of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, each Appointed Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Appointed Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Appointed Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to any Appointed Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement (including any required consent or direction from the Required Lenders), each Appointed Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which such Appointed Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 10.2, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.

-145-

13.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Appointed Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Each Appointed Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

13.3 Liability of Appointed Agents. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)), (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Obligor or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Obligor, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Appointed Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Obligor or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or (c) be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders; further, without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), no Agent-Related Person shall (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Term Loans, or disclosure of confidential information (subject in all respects to Section 14.16), to any Disqualified Lender. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Obligor or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

13.4 Reliance by Appointed Agent. Each Appointed Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Appointed Agent. Each Appointed Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Appointed Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

-146-

13.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article X.

13.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Appointed Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Appointed Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors and their Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Obligors or any of their Affiliates which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

13.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Losses as such term is defined in Section 14.10; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to such Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Losses to the extent resulting from such Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision); provided, further, that any action taken by any Agent-Related Person at the request of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable) shall not constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall ratably reimburse the Agent upon demand for its share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 13.7 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

13.8 Appointed Agents in Individual Capacity. Each Appointed Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Stock in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Obligors and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though such Appointed Agent was not an Appointed Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. Each Appointed

-147-

Agent and its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Obligors, their Affiliates and Account Debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Obligors or such Affiliates) and the Lenders hereby acknowledge that each Appointed Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Term Loans, each Appointed Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Appointed Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include each Appointed Agent in its individual capacity.

13.9 Successor Agents. Each Appointed Agent may resign as an Appointed Agent upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. In the event any Appointed Agent (solely in the case where such Appointed Agent is also a Lender) sells all of its Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by such Appointed Agent of substantially all of its loan portfolio, such Appointed Agent shall resign as an Appointed Agent and such purchaser or transferee shall become the successor Appointed Agent hereunder. In the event that an Appointed Agent (solely in the case where such Appointed Agent is also a Lender) becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Appointed Agent may be removed at the reasonable request of the Borrower and the Required Lenders. Subject to the foregoing, if an Appointed Agent resigns or is removed under this Agreement, the Required Lenders (with the prior consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and such consent not to be required if an Event of Default under any of Section 10.1(a), (e), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing) shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent, which successor agent shall be a Lender or a commercial bank, commercial finance company or other similar lender having total assets in excess of $5,000,000,000. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of any Appointed Agent, such Appointed Agent may appoint (but without the need for the consent of the Borrower) a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Appointed Agent and the term “Appointed Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Appointed Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as an Appointed Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Appointed Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Appointed Agent, the provisions of this Article XIII and Section 14.10 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Appointed Agent under this Agreement.

13.10 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders (and each other Secured Party by their acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to) hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent (and if applicable, any subagent appointed by the Collateral Agent under Section 13.2 or otherwise) to release its Liens on the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent’s Liens upon any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (ii) upon a disposition of Collateral permitted by Section 8.8 to a Person that is not an Obligor; (iii) if any such Collateral constitutes property in which the Obligors owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) if any such Collateral constitutes property leased to an Obligor under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement; (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement (in accordance with the second succeeding sentence and the Guarantee Agreement); (vi) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any sale, transfer or other Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents, (vii) to the extent such Collateral otherwise becomes an Excluded Stock or an Excluded Asset and (viii) if the percentage of Lenders required to consent to the Collateral being released hereunder, consent to the

-148-

Collateral being released. Except as provided above, the Collateral Agent will not release any of the Collateral Agent’s Liens without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders whose consent is required in accordance with Section 12.1). Upon request by the Collateral Agent or the Borrower at any time, subject to the Borrower having certified to the Collateral Agent that the disposition is made in compliance with Section 8.8 (which the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release any applicable Collateral Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.10. In addition, the Lenders (and each other Secured Party by their acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to) hereby irrevocably authorize (w) the Collateral Agent to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.12(c) or (q) (as to Current Asset Collateral only), (x) the Agent to release automatically any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under this Agreement or such Person otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, in each case, solely to the extent (1) such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary is permitted by this Agreement and in the case of a Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary, the Borrower will be deemed to make a new Investment in the residual equity retained directly or indirectly by the Borrower and (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom and (y) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, then, to the extent that the Collateral Agent obtains possession of any Collateral by operation of Section 13.12 of this Agreement that constitutes Collateral that Obligors are not required to deliver to Collateral Agent at such time pursuant to the terms hereof, the Security Documents or any other contractual arrangement with any Obligor, following the written request by Borrower, Collateral Agent shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law or legal process) deliver such Collateral in accordance with the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or, if the ABL Intercreditor Agreement is not then in effect, to the applicable Obligor. Promptly upon consummation of the FTS Distribution and Contribution Transaction, solely to the extent true, Borrower shall send a certificate to Agent confirming that FTS does not own any assets other than the Stock of Holdings, net operating losses with immaterial value and/or other property and assets with immaterial value (“FTS Distribution and Contribution Certificate”). Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein, upon the full and complete consummation of the FTS Distribution and Contribution Transaction and Agent’s receipt of the FTS Distribution and Contribution Certificate, (i) each of the FTS Pledge Agreements and the FTS Control Agreements shall be deemed terminated and released (automatically and through no further action of any Person), (ii) FTS shall no longer be deemed to be party to the Security Agreement or any other Loan Document (automatically and through no further action of any Person), (iii) the Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Stock and assets of FTS (but not the Stock issued by or the assets of the FTS Subsidiaries) shall be deemed terminated and released (automatically and through no further action of any Person), and (iv) the Lenders (and each other Secured Party by their acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents) irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to (A) release its Liens on the Stock and assets of FTS (but not the Stock issued by or the assets of the FTS Subsidiaries), and (B) if reasonably requested by the Borrower, promptly execute, as applicable, and deliver to the Borrower any such additional instruments, terminations, lien releases, discharges of security interests, pledges and other similar discharge or release documents or other writings to effect or evidence such release and termination.

Upon request by any Appointed Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing such Appointed Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations pursuant to this Section 13.10(a).

-149-

(b) Upon receipt by any Appointed Agent of any authorization required pursuant to Section 13.10(a) from the Lenders of such Appointed Agent’s authority to release or subordinate the applicable Collateral Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, such Appointed Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of such Collateral Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral or to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such Appointed Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in such Appointed Agent’s opinion, would expose such Appointed Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Obligors in respect of) all interests retained by the Obligors, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of such Collateral.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Obligors or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the applicable Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

13.11 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Required Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully and contractually entitled to do so, upon the request of the Required Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Obligor or any accounts of any Obligor now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by any Appointed Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against any Obligor, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the applicable Collateral.

(b) Except as may be expressly permitted by this Agreement, if at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of any Obligor to such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or to which such Lender is otherwise entitled to receive directly pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender shall promptly (A) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Term Loan Commitments; provided, however, that (A) if all or part of such excess

-150-

payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower or any other Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments to any Assignee or Participant or (z) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Margin (or other pricing term, including any fee, discount or premium) in respect of Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments of Lenders that have consented to any such extension to the extent such transaction is permitted hereunder.

13.12 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with the UCC or under other applicable law, as applicable may be perfected by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

13.13 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the Agent to the applicable Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds to each such Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the Agent on or prior to the Agreement Date (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, interest or fees on the Term Loans or otherwise. Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Borrower have made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

13.14 Intercreditor Agreements. The Agents are hereby authorized to enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any other usual and customary intercreditor or subordination agreements or arrangements approved in writing by the Required Lenders (for purposes of this paragraph, the “Intercreditor Agreements”) to the extent contemplated by the terms hereof, and the parties hereto acknowledge that each such Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of each Intercreditor Agreement at any time existing and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Agents to enter into the Intercreditor Agreements and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof, as the case may be. In addition, but in conformance with the terms hereof, each Lender hereby authorizes the Agents to enter into (i) any amendments to the Intercreditor Agreements and (ii) any other intercreditor arrangements, in

-151-

the case of clauses (i) and (ii) to the extent approved in writing by the Required Lenders and required to give effect to the establishment of intercreditor rights and privileges as contemplated and required by Section 8.16 of this Agreement. Each Lender waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against the Agent or any of its Affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 13.4 of this Agreement shall apply with equal effect to any such Intercreditor Agreement.

13.15 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs each Appointed Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents, including any Intercreditor Agreement, for the ratable benefit and obligation of the Appointed Agents and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by any Appointed Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by any Appointed Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that the Term Loans, applicable Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Cash Management Agreements, and all interest, fees and expenses hereunder constitute one Debt, secured equally by all of the applicable Collateral, subject to the order of distribution set forth in Section 10.3.

13.16 Relation Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in the case of the Appointed Agents) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

13.17 Arrangers. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that, other than any rights and duties explicitly assigned to the Arrangers under this Agreement, no Arranger has any obligations hereunder and shall not be responsible or accountable to any other party hereto for any action or failure to act hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, no Arranger shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Arrangers in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

13.18 The Register.

(a) The Agent shall maintain a register (each, a “Register”), which shall include a master account and a subsidiary account for each applicable Lender and in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Term Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or stated interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder or under the notes payable by the Borrower to such Lender, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower or any other Obligor and each Lender’s ratable share thereof. Each Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any applicable Lender (with respect to its own Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments only) at one of the offices of the Agent referred to in Section 14.8 at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. Any failure of the Agent to record in the applicable Register, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder (or under any Loan Document) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Term Loans or provide the basis for any claim against the Agent. The Term Loans are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of any Lender and their assignees in and to such Term Loans as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon

-152-

notation of such transfer in the applicable Register. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Term Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Term Loans and payments with respect thereto. Solely for purposes of this Section 13.18, the Agent shall be the Borrower’s agent for purposes of maintaining the applicable Register (but the Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to the Borrower or any other Person on account of any inaccuracies contained in the applicable Register). The Obligors and the Agent intend that the Term Loans will be treated as at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

(b) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any Term Loan, Term Loan Commitment or other interest of such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all Participants in the Term Loans held by it and the principal amount (and related stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments which are the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Term Loan or Term Loan Commitment may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. 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 Term Loan Commitments, Term Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Term Loan Commitment, Term Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Each Register shall be maintained by the Agent as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower. Each Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

13.19 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the Guarantee Agreement or any Security Document, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guarantee Agreement or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIII to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

13.20 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that an Obligor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Obligor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the

-153-

provisions of Section 13.18(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set-off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Agent under this Section 13.20. The agreements in this Section 13.20 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 13.20 shall not limit or expand the obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor under Section 5.1 or any other provision of this Agreement.

13.21 Certain ERISA Matters.

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

(b) Under this Section 14.10, Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to the reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any of the Losses foregoing (such expenses, in the case of legal expenses, to be limited to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of a single firm of counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnified Persons taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnified Person(s) affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, by such other firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Person)) of any such Indemnified Person.

(c) No Indemnified Person will be indemnified for any Loss or related expense under this Section 14.10 to the extent it has resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, advisors or other representatives, successors or permitted assigns of any of the foregoing (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (ii) a material breach of the obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s Affiliates or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, advisors or other representatives, successors or permitted assigns of any of the foregoing (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable

-160-

decision) or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or other proceeding that does not arise from any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by any Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person; provided that the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Arrangers to the extent fulfilling their respective roles as an agent, co-manager or arranger under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in their capacities as such, shall remain indemnified in respect of such proceedings to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in any of clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding proviso applies to such person at such time.

14.12 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended by the parties hereto to be the final, complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

14.15 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, if an Event of Default is then continuing or the Term Loans have been accelerated prior to the Stated Termination Date, each

Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor, any such notice being waived by each Obligor 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 by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor against any and all Obligations then due and owing by an Obligor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS.

-162-

need to know such information in connection with this Agreement and who are informed of the confidential nature of such information or who are subject to customary confidentiality obligations of professional practice (with such Person, to the extent within its control, responsible for such person’s compliance with this Section 14.16), (g) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (h) to potential or prospective Lenders, Participants or Assignees and to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case who agree to be bound by the terms of this paragraph (or language substantially similar to this paragraph); provided that, for purposes of this clause (h), (i) the disclosure of any such information to any Lenders, hedge providers, Participants or Assignees, or prospective Lenders, hedge providers, Participants or Assignees referred to above shall be made subject to the acknowledgment and acceptance by such Lender, hedge provider, Participant or Assignee, or prospective Lender, hedge provider, Participant or Assignee that such information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this paragraph or as is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and such Person) in accordance with the standard syndication processes of the Agent or customary market standards for dissemination of such type of information, which shall in any event require “click through” or other affirmative actions on the part of recipient to access such information and (ii) no such disclosure shall be made by such Person to any person that is at such time a Disqualified Lender and (i) any rating agency to the extent that Borrower is given five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice prior to any such communication and/or disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Agent shall not (i) be responsible for, have any liability with respect to, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Lenders or have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments to any Disqualified Lender and (ii) have any liability with respect to any disclosure of confidential information to any Disqualified Lenders, except in each case of foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent any such liability results directly from the Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

14.17 Conflicts with Other Loan Documents. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (or in another Loan Document by specific reference to the applicable provision contained in this Agreement), if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any provision of any other Loan Document (other than any Intercreditor Agreement), the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

14.18 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that, (i) in connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Appointed Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders and each of their Affiliates through which they may be acting (collectively, the “Applicable Entities”), on the other hand, have an arms-length business relationship that creates no fiduciary duty on the part of any Applicable Entity, and each Obligor expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship, (ii) the Applicable Entities may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Obligor, and no Applicable Entity has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Obligor and (iii) such Obligor has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees that such Obligor is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the process leading thereto, and agrees that it will not claim that the Applicable Entities have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to such Obligor or its affiliates, in connection with such transactions or the process leading thereto.

14.19 Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Agent could purchase in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Obligor agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Agent receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each Obligor agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Agent against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 14.19 means the spot rate at which the Agent, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

14.22 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for hedge agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the 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 14.22, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

-165-
