required to comply with the provisions of the relevant Section to the extent of the amount of such transaction that is in excess of such materiality threshold.
(n) For purposes of any amount herein expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA”, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to
refer to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and Consolidated APCs.
Section 1.04. Accounting Terms; GAAP.
(a) All financial statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time and, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all terms of an accounting nature that are used in calculating the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and
the Total Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that if the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date of delivery of the financial statements described in Section 3.04(a) in GAAP or in the
application thereof (including the conversion to IFRS as described below) on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such
purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change
becomes effective until such notice have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith; provided, further, that if such an amendment is requested by the Borrower or the Required Lenders, then the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to enter into an amendment of the relevant affected provisions (without the payment of any amendment or similar fee to the Lenders) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change
in GAAP or the application thereof; provided, further, that all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made without giving effect to (i)
any election under Accounting Standards Codification 000-00-00 (previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159) (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or
effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any subsidiary at “fair value,” as defined therein and (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification
470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all
times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. If the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower (or its applicable Parent Company) is required to report under IFRS or has elected to do so through an early
adoption policy, “GAAP” shall mean international financial reporting standards pursuant to IFRS (provided, that after such conversion, the Borrower cannot elect to report under GAAP).
75
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to Section 1.11 hereof, all financial ratios and tests (including the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and/or the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the amount of Consolidated Total Assets and Consolidated Adjusted
EBITDA (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating Excess Cash Flow)) contained in this Agreement (excluding the
Minimum Liquidity Covenant) that are calculated with respect to any Test Period during which any Subject Transaction occurs shall be calculated with respect to such Test Period and such Subject Transaction on a Pro Forma Basis. Further, if since
the beginning of any such Test Period and on or prior to the date of any required calculation of any financial ratio or test (i) any Subject Transaction has occurred or (ii) any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or
Consolidated APC was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or Consolidated APCs or any joint venture since the beginning of such Test Period has consummated any Subject Transaction,
then, in each case, any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for such Test Period as if such Subject Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period (it being understood, for the
avoidance of doubt, that solely for purposes of (A) calculating actual compliance with Section 6.15 and (B) calculating the Secured Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definitions of “Applicable Rate” and “Commitment Fee Rate”, in each
case, the date of the required calculation shall be the last day of the Test Period, and no Subject Transaction occurring thereafter shall be taken into account). All references herein to consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries or to the determination of or any other amount for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or any similar reference (including any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Total Debt,
the Unrestricted Cash Amount and/or Consolidated Total Assets) shall, in each case, be deemed to include each Consolidated APC as if such Consolidated APC were a Restricted Subsidiary as defined herein.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph (a) above or in the definition of “Capital Lease,” only those leases (assuming for purposes hereof that such
leases were then in existence) that would constitute Capital Leases in conformity with GAAP as in effect prior to giving effect to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and ASU No. 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842)” shall be considered
Capital Leases hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made, prepared or available, as applicable, in accordance therewith; provided, that
all financial statements required to be provided hereunder may, at the option of the Borrower, be prepared in accordance with GAAP without giving effect to the foregoing treatment of Capital Leases.
76
Section 1.05. Effectuation of Transactions. Each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (and all corresponding definitions) is made after giving effect
to the Transactions, unless the context otherwise requires.
Section 1.06. Timing of Payment or Performance. When payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on
a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.
Section 1.07. Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified herein, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
Section 1.08. Currency Equivalents Generally.
(a) For purposes of any determination under Article 1, Article 5, Article 6 (other than Section 6.15(a) or (b) and the calculation of compliance
with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder) or Article 7 with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition, Affiliate transaction or other
transaction, event or circumstance, or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement, (any of the foregoing, a “specified transaction”), in a currency other than Dollars, (i) the Dollar equivalent amount of a specified
transaction in a currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the rate of exchange quoted by the Bloomberg Foreign Exchange Rates & World Currencies Page (or any successor page thereto, or in the event such rate does not appear on
any Bloomberg Page, by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) for such foreign currency, as in effect at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the
date of such specified transaction (which, in the case of any Restricted Payment, shall be deemed to be the date of the declaration thereof and, in the case of the incurrence of Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be on the date first committed); provided,
that if any Indebtedness is incurred (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) to refinance or replace other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars, and the relevant refinancing or replacement would cause the applicable
Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as
the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, except by an
amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest and premiums (including tender premiums) thereon plus other reasonable and customary fees and expenses (including upfront fees and original issue discount) incurred in connection with such refinancing
or replacement, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01 and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred
solely as a result of a change in the rate of currency exchange occurring after the time of any specified transaction so long as such specified transaction was permitted at the time incurred, made, acquired, committed, entered or declared as set
forth in clause (i). For purposes of Section 6.15(a) or (b) and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder, on any relevant date of determination, amounts
denominated in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) or (b) (or, prior to the
first such delivery, the financial statements referred to in Section 3.04), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period and will, with respect to any Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with
GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness; provided that the
amount of any Indebtedness that is subject to a Debt FX Hedge shall be determined in accordance with the definition of “Consolidated Total Debt”. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the Borrower
would not be in compliance with Section 6.15(a) or (b) if any Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars were to be translated into Dollars on the basis of the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the
financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period, but would be in compliance with Section 6.15(a) or (b) if such Indebtedness that is denominated in a
currency other than in Dollars were instead translated into Dollars on the basis of the average relevant currency exchange rates over such Test Period (taking into account the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of
any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness), then, solely for purposes of
compliance with Section 6.15(b), the SecuredFirst Lien Net Leverage
Ratio as of the last day of such Test Period shall be calculated on the basis of such average relevant currency exchange rates; provided that the amount of any Indebtedness that is subject to a Debt FX Hedge shall be determined in
accordance with the definition of “Consolidated Total Debt”.
77
(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent to
appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market convention or practice relating to such change in currency.
Section 1.09. Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the
maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with Incremental Loans, Loans in connection with any Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to
the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other
Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in Cash” or any other similar requirement.
Section 1.10. [Reserved].
Section 1.11. Certain Calculations and Tests.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the terms of this Agreement require (i) compliance with any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation,
Section 6.15(a) or (b) hereof, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, (ii) the absence
of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default), (iii) the making or accuracy of any representation and/or warranty or (iv) compliance with availability under any basket or cap (including any basket expressed as a
percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets), in each case, a condition to the consummation of any transaction in connection with any acquisition or similar Investment (including with respect to any Indebtedness
contemplated, assumed or incurred in connection therewith), the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the election of the Borrower, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most
recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition or Investment, (y) in connection with an acquisition or similar Investment to which the United Kingdom City Code or
Takeover and Mergers (or any comparable Requirement of Law) applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer in respect of the target of an acquisition (or equivalent notice under comparable Requirements
of Law) or (z) the consummation of such acquisition or Investment, in each case, after giving effect, on a Pro Forma Basis, to the relevant acquisition or Investment (including with respect to any Indebtedness contemplated, assumed or incurred in
connection therewith); provided that (A) in the event that such acquisition or Investment shall not have been consummated on or prior to the date that is 270 days following the execution of the definitive acquisition agreement governing
such acquisition or Investment, the determination of whether the matters specified in the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) have been satisfied shall be made on the date of the consummation of such acquisition or Investment, and (B) no Event of
Default under Sections 7.01(a), 7.01(f) or 7.01(g) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the consummation of such acquisition or Investment.
78
(b) For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section
6.15(a) or (b) hereof, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the
time such action is taken (subject to clause (a) above), such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result
of a change in such financial ratio or test or amount occurring after such calculation, or after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that
does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.15(b) hereof, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amount, a “Fixed Amount”)
substantially concurrently with any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section
6.15(b), any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amount, an “Incurrence-Based Amount”), it is understood and agreed that (i) any Fixed Amount shall be disregarded in the calculation of
the financial ratio or test applicable to the relevant Incurrence-Based Amount, (ii) except as provided in clause (i), pro forma effect shall be given to the entire transaction and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, all Indebtedness
substantially concurrently incurred will be included for purposes of calculating compliance with Sections 6.04(a)(xi), 6.04(a)(xii), 6.04(a)(xiii), 6.04(b)(vii), 6.06(bb) and clause (a)(ii) of the Available Amount (in each
case, giving pro forma effect to the intended use of proceeds thereof). The Borrower may elect that any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on one or more of any Incurrence-Based Amount or any Fixed Amount
in its sole discretion; provided, that unless the Borrower elects otherwise and except as set forth in the definition of “Incremental Cap”, each such amount or transaction shall be deemed incurred, entered into or consummated first under
any Incurrence-Based Amount to the maximum extent permitted thereunder.
(d) The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be
shown on a balance sheet of the Borrower dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(e) The increase in any amount secured by any Lien by virtue of the accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or a dividend in the form of additional
Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the exchange rate of any applicable currency will not be deemed to be the granting of a
Lien for purposes of Section 6.02.
(f) With respect to any pro forma calculation that is required to be made in connection with any acquisition or similar Investment in respect of which financial statements for the
applicable target are not available for the same Test Period for which financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower shall make the relevant calculation on the basis of the relevant available financial statements (even if for
differing periods) or such other commercially reasonable basis as the Borrower may elect.
(g) Any determination of the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Indebtedness shall be made by the Borrower in good faith at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness.
79
Section 1.12. Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a) 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 the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (i) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (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 (5th) 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 Administrative Agent has not received, by such
time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in
consultation with the Borrower) to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark
Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below
and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent and/or the Borrower or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant
to this Section 1.12, 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 1.12.
(d) 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 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 Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any
tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor
and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an
announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to
reinstate such previously removed tenor.
80
(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a
SOFR Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a
SOFR Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor
for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any SOFR
Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a relevant rate applicable to such SOFR Benchmark Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark
Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 1.12, any SOFR Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted
by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan.
Section 1.13. [Reserved].
Section 1.14. Certain Determinations.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, if, after delivery of any Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(c), it is
subsequently determined that the Secured Net Leverage Ratio set forth in such Compliance Certificate is inaccurate for any reason and the result of such inaccuracy is that the Lenders received any amount of interest or any fee for any relevant
period based on an Applicable Rate or Commitment Fee Rate or payment of principal based on the Required Excess Cash Flow Percentage that is greater than or less than the amount that would have applied if the Secured Net Leverage Ratio set forth
in such Compliance Certificate had been accurately reported, then, for all purposes under this Agreement, (i) in the case of the Applicable Rate and the Commitment Fee Rate, the Applicable Rate and the Commitment Fee Rate for each day during the
relevant period shall be revised to be based upon the accurately determined Secured Net Leverage Ratio and, in such event, any shortfall in the amount of any applicable interest payment shall be due and payable within five Business Days following
the date on which the Borrower becomes aware of the relevant inaccuracy and (ii) in the case of the Required Excess Cash Flow Percentage, any shortfall in the amount of any applicable principal payment shall be due and payable within five
Business Days following the date on which the Borrower becomes aware of the relevant inaccuracy. In the event that (A) any inaccuracy in the calculation of the Secured Net Leverage Ratio resulted in a shortfall in the amount of any required
interest or principal payment and (B) such inaccuracy resulted from a good faith mistake on the part of the Borrower in the preparation of such calculation, no Default or Event of Default shall arise under this Agreement with respect thereto
unless the relevant amount has not been paid within the period described in the preceding sentence.
(b) (i) With respect to determination of the permissibility of any transaction by Holdings, the Borrower and/or any subsidiary under this Agreement, the delivery by the Borrower of a
third party valuation report from (1) a nationally recognized accounting, appraisal, investment banking or consulting firm or (2) another firm that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Representative, in each case,
shall be conclusive with respect to the value of the assets covered thereby and (ii) any determination of whether an action is taken “in the ordinary course of business” or “in a manner consistent with past
practice” (or, in either case, any similar expression) shall be made by the Borrower in good faith.
(c) It is understood and agreed for the avoidance of doubt that the carve-outs from the provisions of Article 6 may include items or activities that are not restricted by the
relevant provision.
Section 1.15. Conflicts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any term
or provision of this Agreement (excluding the Exhibits hereto) and any term or provision of any Exhibit to this Agreement, the term or provision of this Agreement shall govern, and the Borrower shall be entitled to make such revisions to the
relevant term or provision of the applicable Exhibit to ensure that such term or provision is consistent with the corresponding term or provision of this Agreement.
81
Section 1.16. Confidentiality; Privilege. Notwithstanding any obligation to provide information under any Loan Document or allow the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any third
party to access or inspect the books and records of Holdings or its subsidiaries or otherwise as set forth in this Agreement, neither Holdings nor any of its subsidiaries will be required to disclose or permit the inspection or discussion of, any
document, information or other matter (a) that constitutes a non-financial trade secret or non-financial proprietary information, (b) in respect of which disclosure to Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective
representatives, agents or contractors) would result in a breach of any confidentiality obligation, fiduciary duty or Requirement of Law and/or (c) that is subject to attorney client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product
(provided, that such confidentiality obligations were not entered into in contemplation of the requirements of this Section 1.16); provided, that in the event that such information has not been provided in reliance on clause (b) and/or
(c) above, notice that information is being withheld must be provided to the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE 2
THE CREDITS
Section 2.01. Commitments.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Initial Term Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Initial Term Loans to the Borrower on the Closing Date in
Dollars in a principal amount not to exceed its Initial Term Loan Commitment and (ii) each Revolving Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make Initial Revolving Loans to the Borrower in Dollars at any time and from time to time after the
Closing Date, and until the earlier of the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitment of such Initial Revolving Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that, after
giving effect to any Borrowing of Initial Revolving Loans, the Outstanding Amount of such Initial Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Initial Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Commitment. Within
the foregoing limits and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Initial Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
On the Second Amendment Effective Date, an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 of Term Loans (the “Specified
Existing Term Loans”) held by Crossholder Lenders shall be purchased by Parent, which Specified Term Loans shall be (A) immediately contributed by Parent to Intermediate Parent, (B) immediately thereafter contributed by Intermediate Parent to
Holdings, and (C) immediately thereafter contributed by Holdings to the Borrower, and immediately thereafter the Specified Term Loans shall be automatically and immediately cancelled (without the need for any action by any Person) pursuant to
the Crossholder Lender Term Loan Exchange and Cancellation.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Incremental Facility Amendment, each Lender with an Incremental Commitment of a given Class, severally and not jointly,
agrees to make Incremental Loans of such Class to the Borrower, which Loans shall not exceed for any such Lender at the time of any incurrence thereof the Incremental Commitment of such Class of such Lender as set forth in the applicable
Incremental Facility Amendment.
Section 2.02. Loans and Borrowings.
(a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective Commitments of the applicable Class. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in Section 2.04.
82
(b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or SOFR Benchmark Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided
that each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any SOFR Benchmark Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such
option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) such SOFR Benchmark Loan shall be deemed to have been made and held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower
to repay such SOFR Benchmark Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender and (iii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize
increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder
or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.15 shall apply); provided, further,
that no such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall be entitled to any greater indemnification under Section 2.17 in respect of any U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to such SOFR Benchmark Loan than that to
which the applicable Lender was entitled on the date on which such Loan was made (except in connection with any indemnification entitlement arising as a result of any Change in Law after the date on which such Loan was made).
(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any SOFR Benchmark Borrowing, such SOFR Benchmark Borrowing shall comprise an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of
$50,000 and not less than $250,000. Each ABR Borrowing when made shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000 and in an integral multiple of $50,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing may be made in a lesser aggregate
amount that is (x) equal to the entire aggregate unused Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be
outstanding at the same time; provided, that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 15 different Interest Periods in effect for SOFR Benchmark Borrowings at any time outstanding (or such greater number of different Interest
Periods as the Administrative Agent may agree from time to time).
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not, nor shall it be entitled to, request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest
Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to the relevant Loans.
Section 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. Each Term Loan Borrowing, each Revolving Loan Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and
each continuation of SOFR Benchmark Loans shall be made upon irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (provided that notices in respect of Term Loan Borrowings and/or the Revolving Loan Borrowing to be made in
connection with any acquisition, investment or irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness may be conditioned on the closing of such Permitted Acquisition, permitted Investment or permitted irrevocable repayment or redemption of
Indebtedness). Each such notice must be in the form of a written Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and must be received by the Administrative Agent (by hand delivery, fax or other

case of any Revolving Loan, (i) 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the requested day of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Benchmark Loans (or one Business Day in the case of any Borrowing of SOFR Benchmark Loans to be

(A) the applicable notice from the Borrower must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. five Business Days prior to the requested date of the relevant Borrowing (or such later time as is reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent), conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is available to them and (B) not later
than 12:00 p.m. three Business Days before the requested date of the relevant Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower whether or not the requested Interest Period is available to the appropriate
Lenders.
83
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Benchmark
Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details and amount of any Loan to be made as part of the relevant requested
Borrowing (x) in the case of any ABR Borrowing, on the same Business Day of receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section or (y) in the case of any SOFR Benchmark Borrowing, no later than one Business Day following receipt of a
Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section.
Section 2.04. Swingline Loans.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time after the Closing Date and until the Latest
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $10,000,000; provided that (x) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding
Swingline Loan and (y) after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LC Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a
minimum principal amount of not less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Swingline Lender; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is (x) equal to the
entire unused balance of the aggregate unused Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, Swingline Loans may be borrowed, prepaid and reborrowed. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such request by delivery of a written
Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on
the same Business Day by means of a credit to the account designated in the related Borrowing Request or otherwise in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower (including, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement
of any LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank).
84
(b) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations on
the second Business Day following receipt of such notice in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon
receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply
with its obligation under this paragraph by effecting a wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the
amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participation in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.04(b), and thereafter payments in respect of such
Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower in respect of any Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of
any sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent, and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving
Lenders that have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and thereafter to the Borrower, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section
2.04(b) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
(c) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04 by the time specified in Section 2.04(b), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount
with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time
to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Barclays may, upon ten days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Swingline Lender, which
resignation shall be effective as of the date referenced in such notice (but in no event less than ten days after the delivery of such written notice). In the event of any such resignation, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint any Revolving
Lender that is willing to accept such appointment as successor Swingline Xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx. Upon the acceptance of any such appointment, the successor Swingline Lender shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender, and the retiring Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations in such capacity hereunder. In the event that the successor Swingline Xxxxxx resigns,
the Borrower shall promptly repay all outstanding Swingline Loans on the effective date of such resignation (which repayment may be effectuated with the proceeds of a Borrowing).

Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request
that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such
Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

extension or renewal (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, extended or renewed, and specifying the proposed date (which shall be a Business Day) and other details

the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the
applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. No Letter of Credit, letter of credit application or other document entered into by the Borrower with any Issuing Bank relating

otherwise consistent with those set forth in this Agreement (and, to the extent inconsistent herewith, shall be deemed to automatically incorporate the applicable standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions set forth herein without
action by any Person). No Letter of Credit may be issued, amended, extended or renewed unless (and on the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after
giving effect to such issuance, amendment, extension, or renewal (i) the LC Exposure does not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (ii) (A) the aggregate amount of the Initial Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate amount of
the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, (B) the aggregate amount of the Incremental Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to any Class of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments does not exceed the aggregate amount of the
Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect and (C) if such Letter of Credit has a term that extends beyond the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, the aggregate amount of the LC

Letter of Credit is extended beyond the date referred to in clause (B) above pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank).
(ii) No Commercial Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier to occur of (A) 180 days after the issuance thereof and (B) the date that is five Business Days
prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of any Letter of Credit (or an amendment to any Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of
the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such
Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Xxxxxx’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to
this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a
Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
87
(e) Reimbursement.
(i) If the applicable Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the
Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank) an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than (A) if the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement under paragraph (g) of
this Section before 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement or (B) if the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement under paragraph
(g) of this Section after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, not later than 2:00 p.m. two Business Days after the date on which the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that the Borrower may, without satisfying the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing (any such Revolving Loan Borrowing, a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Loan”) in an
equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower may also
request a Swingline Loan to reimburse such LC Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.04, subject, in the case of any such Swingline Loan, to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02). If the
Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner
as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders
and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.
(ii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such
Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(d) by the time specified therein, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
88
(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute and unconditional
and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or
invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a
right of setoff against, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of
or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical
terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages
suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree
that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such
determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of any Letter of
Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and
make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under
a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by electronic means upon any LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that no failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall relieve
the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, unless the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the
unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement (or the date on which such LC Disbursement is reimbursed
with the proceeds of Loans, as applicable), at the rate per annum then applicable to Initial Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans (or, to the extent of the participation in such LC Disbursement by any Revolving Lender of another Class, the rate per
annum then applicable to the Revolving Loans of such other Class); provided that if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall
apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section
to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable on the date on which the Borrower is required to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full (and,
thereafter, on demand).
89
(i) Replacement or Resignation of an Issuing Bank or Designation of New Issuing Banks.
(i) Any Issuing Bank may be replaced with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time by written agreement among
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement becomes effective, the Borrower
shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(ii). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and
obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing
Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time
with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the relevant Revolving Lender, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this
Agreement. Any Revolving Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (i) who agrees in writing to such designation shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) in respect of
Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Revolving Lender.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Issuing Bank may, upon ten days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, each other Issuing Bank and
the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank, which resignation shall be effective as of the date referenced in such notice (but in no event less than ten days after the delivery of such written notice); it being understood that in the event of any such
resignation, any Letter of Credit then outstanding shall remain outstanding (irrespective of whether any amounts have been drawn at such time). In the event of any such resignation as an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint
any Revolving Lender that accepts such appointment in writing as successor Issuing Bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Issuing Bank hereunder, the successor Issuing Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations in such capacity hereunder.
(j) Cash Collateralization.
(i) If any Event of Default exists and the Loans have been declared due and payable in accordance with Article 7 hereof, then on the Business Day on which the
Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Revolving Lenders demanding the deposit of Cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (i), the Borrower shall deposit, in an interest-bearing account
with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in Cash equal to 100% of the LC Exposure as of such date (minus the amount
then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account); provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of
any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(f) or (g).
(ii) Any such deposit under clause (i) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations
in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (j). The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account, and the Borrower hereby grants the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the
Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders) be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to
provide an amount of Cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrower promptly but in no event later than three Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
90
Section 2.06. [Reserved].
Section 2.07. Funding of Borrowings.
(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder not later than (i) 1:00 p.m., in the case of SOFR Rate Loans, and (ii) 2:00 p.m., in the case of ABR Loans, in each case
on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount
equal to such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by wire transfer of the
amounts so received on the same Business Day, in like funds, to the account designated in the relevant Borrowing Request or as otherwise directed by the Borrower; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of any
LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of any Borrowing
prior to the proposed date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay
to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case
of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing, and the
obligation of the Borrower to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall cease. If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a
repayment of such Borrowing by such amount. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party may
have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
Section 2.08. Type; Interest Elections.
(a) Each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of any Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor,
all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders based upon their Applicable
Percentages and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver an Interest Election Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower of
the applicable election to the Administrative Agent.

resulting Borrowing.
(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such
Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of such Interest Period to Benchmark Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of
Default exists and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default exists (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Benchmark Borrowing
and (ii) unless repaid, each Benchmark Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto.

that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit
Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class would
exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class; provided that, after the establishment of any Additional Revolving Credit Commitment, any such termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of
any Class shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.22, 2.23 and/or 9.02, as applicable.
(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Revolving Credit Commitment under paragraph (b) of this Section in writing at

satisfied. Any termination or reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be permanent. Upon any reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitment, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Lender
of the relevant Class shall be reduced by such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount.

paid to but excluding the date of such payment.
(ii) The Borrower shall repay the Additional Term Loans of any Class in such scheduled amortization installments and on such date or dates as shall be specified

provision reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower.
Section 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.
(a) Optional Prepayments.
(i) Upon prior notice in accordance with paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing of Term Loans of one or more Classes (such Class or Classes to be selected by the Borrower in its sole discretion) in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject in the case of Borrowings of Initial Term Loans only, to Section

any Borrowing of Revolving Loans of any Class shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 2.22, 2.23 and/or 9.02, as applicable and (B) no Borrowing of Revolving Loans may be prepaid unless all Swingline Loans
then outstanding, if any, are prepaid concurrently therewith. Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the relevant Class.
94
(iii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and the Swingline Lender as applicable) in writing of any prepayment under this Section 2.11(a) (i) in
the case of any prepayment of any Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days before the date of prepayment (or such shorter notice as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree), (ii) in the case of any prepayment of an
ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day of prepayment or (iii) in the case of any prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment (or, in each case, such later time as to which the Administrative

prepaid; provided that any notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on
or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to any Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each
partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount at least equal to the amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type and Class as provided in Section 2.02(c), or such lesser amount that is then
outstanding with respect to such Borrowing being repaid (and in increments of $100,000 in excess thereof or such lesser incremental amount that is then outstanding with respect to such Borrowing being repaid). Each prepayment of Term Loans shall
be applied to the Class or Classes of Term Loans specified in the applicable prepayment notice, and each prepayment of Term Loans of such Class or Classes made pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be applied against the remaining
scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans of such Class or Classes in the manner specified by the Borrower or, in the absence of any such specification on or prior to the date of the relevant optional prepayment, in
direct order of maturity.

pursuant to Section 5.01(b), commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2023, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of Initial Term Loans and any Additional Term Loans then subject to ratable prepayment
requirements in accordance with clause (vi) of this Section 2.11(b) below in an aggregate principal amount (the “ECF Prepayment Amount”) equal to (A) the Required Excess Cash Flow Percentage of Excess Cash Flow of the
Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and the Consolidated APCs for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended, minus (B) at the option of the Borrower, (x) the aggregate principal amount of any Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans prepaid

connection with any Dutch Auction) prior to the date such payment is due and, in each case under this clause (y), based upon the actual amount of cash paid in connection with the relevant assignment, in each case, excluding any such
optional prepayments made during such Fiscal Year that reduced the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(i) in the prior Fiscal Year (in the case of any prepayment of Revolving Loans, to the extent accompanied by
a permanent reduction in the relevant commitment, and in the case of all such prepayments, to the extent that such prepayments were not financed with the proceeds of other Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness) of the Borrower or its
Restricted Subsidiaries); provided that no prepayment under this Section 2.11(b) shall be required unless and to the extent that the amount thereof exceeds $3,000,000.
95
(ii) (A) No later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt of Net Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds to prepay the
outstanding principal amount of Initial Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans then subject to ratable prepayment requirements (the “Subject Loans”) in accordance with clause (vi) below; provided that if prior to the date any such prepayment is required to be made, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of its
intention to reinvest the Net Proceeds in Capital Expenditures or long term capital assets useful to the business of the Borrower and/or any subsidiary and/or Affiliated Practice (as
determined by the Borrower in good faith), then so long as no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall not be required to make a
mandatory prepayment under this clause (ii) in respect of the Net Proceeds to the extent the Net Proceeds are so reinvested within 365 days following receipt thereof (or such longer period as the Lender Representative may approve in its sole
discretion); it being understood that if the Net Proceeds have not been so reinvested prior to the expiration of the applicable period, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the Subject Loans with the amount of Net Proceeds not so reinvested as
set forth above (without regard to the immediately preceding proviso); provided further that the aggregate amount that may be so reinvested from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date shall not exceed $10,000,000 in any Fiscal Year.
(iii) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01, the Borrower shall, promptly upon (and in any event not later than two Business Days thereafter) the receipt thereof of such Net
Proceeds by the Borrower or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Class or Classes of Term Loans in accordance with clause (vi)
below.
96
(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.11(b) to the contrary:
(A) the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) above to
the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any Foreign Subsidiary, the relevant Prepayment Asset Sale is consummated by any Foreign Subsidiary or the relevant Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds are received by any Foreign
Subsidiary, as the case may be, for so long as the repatriation to the Borrower of any such amount would be, in the good faith determination of the Borrower, prohibited, restricted or delayed under any Requirement of Law (including for avoidance
of doubt, any Requirement of Law relating to financial assistance, corporate benefit, thin capitalization, capital maintenance and similar legal principles, restrictions on “upstreaming” and/or “cross-streaming” of Cash intra-group and
Requirements of Law relating to the fiduciary and/or statutory duties of the directors (or equivalent Persons) of the Borrower and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or would conflict with the fiduciary and/or statutory duties of such Foreign
Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of such Foreign Subsidiary (it
being understood and agreed that (i) solely within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the Borrower shall take all commercially reasonable actions
required by applicable Requirements of Law to permit such repatriation and (ii) if the repatriation of the relevant affected Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law and, to
the extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in, or be reasonably expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for the Persons described above, in either case,
within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the relevant Foreign Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the relevant Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as
the case may be, and the repatriated Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved
against such Excess Cash Flow or such Subject Proceeds as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (iv))),
(B) the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) to the
extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any joint venture or the relevant Subject Proceeds are received by any joint venture, in each case, for so long as the distribution to the Borrower of such Excess Cash Flow or Subject
Proceeds would be prohibited under the Organizational Documents governing such joint venture; it being understood that if the relevant prohibition ceases to exist within the 365-day period following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow
Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the relevant joint venture will promptly distribute the relevant Excess Cash Flow or the relevant Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, and the distributed Excess Cash Flow or
Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such distribution) applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) to the extent required herein
(without regard to this clause (iv)), and
(C) if the Borrower determines in good faith that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) to the Borrower, directly or indirectly, from a Foreign Subsidiary
as a distribution or dividend of any amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) above would reasonably be expected to result in a material and adverse Tax liability (including any
withholding Tax) (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), the amount that the Borrower shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Sections 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) above, as applicable, shall be reduced by the Restricted
Amount; provided that to the extent that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) of the relevant Subject Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, directly or indirectly, from the relevant Foreign Subsidiary would no longer be
reasonably expected to have a material adverse tax consequence within the 365-day period following the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds or the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period, as the case may be, an amount equal to
the Subject Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable and to the extent available, not previously applied pursuant to this clause (C), shall be promptly applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) as
otherwise required above;
97
(v) Any Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any
prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11(b), to decline all (but not a portion) of its Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”); provided
that for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made under Section 2.11(b)(iii) above to the extent that such prepayment is made with the Net Proceeds of Incremental Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the
Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.22. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt of its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the
Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.
(vi) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or provided in, or intended with respect to, any Incremental Facility Amendment or any Extension Amendment (provided,
that such Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension Amendment may not provide that the applicable Class of Term Loans receive a greater than pro rata portion of mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) than would
otherwise be permitted by this Agreement), in each case effectuated or issued in a manner consistent with this Agreement, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then
outstanding which is pari passu with the Initial Term Loans in right of payment and with respect to security (provided that any prepayment of Term Loans with the Net Proceeds of any Incremental
Term Facility shall be applied to the applicable Class of Term Loans being refinanced or replaced). With respect to each relevant Class of Term Loans, all accepted prepayments under this Section 2.11(b) shall be applied as directed by
the Borrower, and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class. If no Lender exercises the right to waive a prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section
2.11(b)(v), the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to the then outstanding Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof and then to the then outstanding Term Loans that are SOFR Benchmark Loans.
(vii) (A) In the event that the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrower
shall, within five Business Days of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans and/or reduce LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Revolving Credit Exposure as of the date
of such payment to an amount not to exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect by taking any of the following actions as it shall determine at its sole discretion: (x) prepaying Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans or (y)
with respect to any excess LC Exposure, depositing Cash in a Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank or “backstopping” or replacing the relevant Letters of Credit, in each case, in an amount equal to 100%
of such excess LC Exposure (minus any amount then on deposit in any Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank).
(B) Each prepayment of any Revolving Loan Borrowing under this Section 2.11(b)(vii) shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class.
(viii) Prepayments made under this Section 2.11(b) shall be (A) accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.13 (which shall be netted in the
calculation of the applicable prepayment amount) and (B) in the case of prepayments of Initial Term Loans under clause (iii), subject to Section 2.12(f), but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.
98
Section 2.12. Fees.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at
a rate equal to the Commitment Fee Rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class on the average daily amount of the unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class of such Revolving Lender during the period from and
including the Closing Date to the date on which such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter (commencing with the first
full Fiscal Quarter after the Closing Date) for the quarterly period then ended (or, in the case of the payment made on June 30, 2022, for the period from the Closing Date to such date), and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments
of the applicable Class terminate. For purposes of calculating the commitment fee only, the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class of any Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of Revolving Loans of such Class of such
Revolving Lender and the LC Exposure of such Revolving Lender attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class, and no portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Class shall be deemed used as a result of outstanding Swingline
Loans.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of
Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans of such Class that are SOFR Benchmark Loans on the daily face amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Class (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to the earlier of (A) the later of the date on which such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and (B) the Termination Date, and (ii) to each
Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the earlier of (A) the expiration date of such Letter of
Credit, (B) the date on which such Letter of Credit terminates or (C) the Termination Date, computed at a rate equal to the rate agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower (but in any event not to exceed 0.125% per annum) of the daily face
amount of such Letter of Credit, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees shall
accrue to but excluding the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and be payable in arrears for the quarterly period then ended on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter (commencing, if applicable, with the last Business Day of the first
full Fiscal Quarter after the Closing Date); provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of a written demand (accompanied by
reasonable back-up documentation) therefor.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administration fee described in the Fee Letter.
(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case
of fees payable to any Issuing Bank). Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter. Fees payable hereunder shall accrue through and including the last day of the month immediately
preceding the applicable fee payment date.
99
(f) (1) In the event that, prior to the third anniversary of the ClosingSecond Amendment Effective Date, (i) the Borrower prepays any Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i), (ii) the Borrower prepays or refinances any Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(iii) (it being understood and agreed for the
avoidance of doubt that payments as a result of assignments made to Affiliated Lenders pursuant to Section 9.05(g) shall not be subject to this Section 2.12(f)), (ii) the Borrower prepays
or refinances any Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(iii) or (iii) the Initial Term Loans are accelerated in accordance with Article 7, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
account of each of the applicable Initial Term Lenders (including any Non-Consenting Lender whose Initial Term Loans are repaid, replaced or assigned pursuant to Section 2.19(b)(iv)) a prepayment premium equal to the amount set forth
opposite the relevant period from the Closing Date as indicated below:

(2) In the event that, prior to the second anniversary of the ClosingSecond Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower prepays in any Fiscal Year any Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii) in an aggregate amount exceeding $40,000,000 in such Fiscal
Year, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Initial Term Lenders a prepayment premium equal to the amount set forth opposite the relevant period from the Closing Date as indicated

The foregoing premiums in sub-clausesclauses
(1) (including the Make-Whole Amount) and (2) of this clause (f) are referred to as the “Prepayment Premium”. All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of the relevant prepayment or acceleration pursuant
to Sections 2.11(a)(i), 2.11(b)(ii), 2.11(b)(iii) or Article 7, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Premium shall be payable hereunder in connection with any prepayment or repayment of Initial
Term Loans (or any acceleration thereof) on or after the third anniversary of the ClosingSecond
Amendment Effective Date (in the case of sub-clause (1) above) or the second anniversary of the ClosingSecond Amendment Effective Date (in the case of sub-clause (2) above). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Initial Term Loans are accelerated
and become due prior to their maturity date in respect of any Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the amount of principal of and premium
on the Initial Term Loans that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans plus the Prepayment Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view
of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s loss as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the
liquidated damages sustained by each Lender and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR
FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium
is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment
is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from
claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.
(g) Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.13. Interest.
(a) (i) The Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate plus, solely during the period beginning on the Second Amendment Signing Date and ending on the Second Amendment Rate Enhancement Sunset Date, the Second Amendment PIK Rate.
(ii) The Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans comprising
each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate plus, solely during the period beginning on the Second Amendment Signing Date and ending on the Second Amendment Rate Enhancement Sunset Date, the
Second Amendment Additional Revolving Rate.
(b) (i) The Term Loans and
Revolving Loans comprising each SOFR Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate plus, solely during the period beginning on the Second Amendment Signing Date and ending on the Second Amendment Rate Enhancement Sunset Date, the Second Amendment PIK Rate.
(ii) The Revolving Loans comprising each SOFR Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate plus, solely
during the period beginning on the Second Amendment Signing Date and ending on the Second Amendment Rate Enhancement Sunset Date, the Second Amendment Additional Revolving Rate.
(c) Interest on each Initial Term Loan that is attributable to the Second Amendment PIK Rate shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date by capitalizing the amount thereof and adding such amount to the
outstanding principal amount of such Initial Term Loan as additional principal obligations hereunder on and as of such Interest Payment Date and, on and after such Interest Payment Date, shall automatically constitute a part of the
outstanding principal amount of such Initial Term Loan for all purposes hereof (including with respect to the accrual of interest thereon at the rates applicable to such Initial Term Loan under this Agreement).
101
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing but in all cases subject to Section 9.05(f), if any principal of or interest on any Term Loan or
Revolving Loan, any LC Disbursement or any fee payable by the Borrower hereunder is not, in each case, paid or reimbursed when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the relevant overdue amount shall bear interest,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annumupon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(f) or (g), the outstanding Obligations shall automatically accrue interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times during the
continuation of such Event of Default equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal or interest of any Term Loan, Revolving Loan or unreimbursed LC Disbursement, 2.00%
plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loan, Revolving Loan or LC Disbursement as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Revolving
Loans that are ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that no amount shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.13(d) on any overdue amount, reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement
or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(e) Accrued interest on each Term Loan, Revolving Loan and Swingline Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Term Loan, Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan and
(i) on the Maturity Date applicable to such Loan, (ii) in the case of a Revolving Loan of any Class, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class and (iii) in the case of any Swingline Loan, upon termination of all of the
Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Term Loan, Revolving
Loan, (other than an ABR Revolving Loan of any Class prior to the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class) or Swingline Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Benchmark Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Term Loan or Revolving Loan shall be payable on the effective date of
such conversion; provided, further, that with respect to any interest payable on any Initial Term Loan from the Closing Date until the end of the fourth full Fiscal Quarter ending after the Closing Date (or, if later, until the Interest
Payment Date following the end of such fourth full Fiscal Quarter), the Borrower may, in its sole discretion by delivering a written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date with respect to such
Initial Term Loan, elect (such election, a “PIK Election”) to pay up to 2.00% of the Applicable Rate (the “Maximum PIK Amount”) applicable at such time to such Initial Term Loan in kind by adding such amounts so elected to be paid
in kind to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Initial Term Loans then outstanding, in which case, the “Applicable Rate” applicable to the amounts subject to such PIK Election shall increase as provided in the definition of
“Applicable Rate”; provided, further, absent a written notification to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has declined to make a PIK Election (which notice shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., two
Business Days before the commencement of the relevant Interest Period (or, in each case, such later time as to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree)) with respect to any Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
delivered a written notification of a PIK Election requesting with respect to the relevant Initial Term Loans to pay the Maximum PIK Amount in kind with respect to such Interest Period concurrently with the delivery of the Borrowing Request or
Interest Election Request applicable thereto.
(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base
Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The
applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made
and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.
102
Section 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Benchmark Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term
SOFR Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders in writing that the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower
and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, which the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to do, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any
Borrowing as, a Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Benchmark Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
Section 2.15. Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law:
(i) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate) or Issuing Bank;
(ii) subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 and (B) Excluded Taxes)
on or with respect to its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or SOFR Benchmark Loans made
by any Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the relevant Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Benchmark Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the
cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise)
in respect of any SOFR Benchmark Loan or Letter of Credit in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this
Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided
that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) such Lender invokes Section 2.20 or (z) in the case of requests for
reimbursement under clause (iii) above resulting from a market disruption, (A) the relevant circumstances do not generally affect the banking market or (B) the applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders.
103
(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters
of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of the certificate
contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing
Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that, subject to the last sentence of the definition of “Change of Law”, the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if the relevant Change in Law occurs on a
date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto.
(c) Any Lender or Issuing Bank requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower that (i) sets forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or the holding company thereof, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (ii) sets forth, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or
amounts were determined and (iii) certifies that such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to
demand such compensation; provided, however that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the
date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further,
that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.16. [Reserved].
Section 2.17. Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes,
except as required by applicable Requirements of Law. If any applicable Requirement of Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax and/or Other Tax, the amount payable by
the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) each
Lender (or, in the case of any payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the
applicable withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
Requirements of Law.
(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
104
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 30 days after receipt of the certificate described in the succeeding sentence, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17),
other than any penalties determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (or documented in any settlement agreement) to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, and, in each case, any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if
the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which
shall be repaid to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(g)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, result in any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses not
reimbursed by such Loan Party or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable. In connection with any request for reimbursement under this Section 2.17(c), the relevant Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the amount of the relevant payment or liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any amount to the extent the Administrative Agent or such Lender fails to
notify the Borrower of such possible indemnification claim within 180 days after the Administrative Agent or such Xxxxxx receives written notice from the applicable taxing authority of the specific tax assessment giving rise to such
indemnification claim.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.17 by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued, if any, by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment that is reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to
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 Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17(f).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)
of this Section 2.17) 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.
105
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two copies of executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;
(B) each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party, two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing any available exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax;
(2) two copies of executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);
(3) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) two copies of an
executed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-1 to the effect that such Foreign 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 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments payable to such Lender are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms); or
(4) to the extent any Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (e.g., where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or
participating Lender), two copies of executed IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-2, Exhibit
O-3 or Exhibit O-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct
or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-4 on behalf of each such direct or
indirect partner(s);
(C) each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two copies of any other executed form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as
a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
106
(D) if a payment made to any Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with
the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by
applicable Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation as is prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)
of the Code) and may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if
any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.
For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender is an entity disregarded from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, references to the foregoing documentation are intended to refer to documentation with respect to
such Xxxxxx’s owner and, as applicable, such Lender. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any documentation (including any specific documentation required above in this Section 2.17(f)) it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
(g) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (whether received in cash or applied as a credit against any cash taxes
payable) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the
Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided
that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Xxxxxx, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will
the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (g) to the extent that the payment thereof would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than the position that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification 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 2.17 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems
confidential) to the relevant Loan Party or any other Person.
(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or
the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
107
(i) Definition of “Lender”. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for all purposes of this Section 2.17, include any Issuing Bank and any Swingline
Lender and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(j) Certain Documentation. On or before the date the Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower whichever of the
following is applicable: (i) if the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding or (ii) if the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, (A) with respect to payments received for its own account, two executed original copies of IRS
Form W-8ECI and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (together with all required accompanying documentation) certifying that the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and
may be treated as a United States person for purposes of applicable U.S. federal withholding Tax. At any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any
documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(j), the Administrative Agent shall not
be required to provide any documentation that the Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change in Law after the Closing Date.
Section 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments.
(a) Unless otherwise specified, including as set forth in Sections 2.13(a), (b) and (e)
hereof, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, reimbursements of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15 or 2.17, or
otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amount received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been
received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, except that
any payment made pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.17 or 9.03 shall be made directly to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any
other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.19(b) and 2.20, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest in
respect of the Loans of a given Class and each conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of any Type (and of the same Class) shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Xxxxxx’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing
to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. All payments hereunder (including payments in kind) shall be made in Dollars. Any payment
required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the
regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.
(b) (I) During the continuance of any Waterfall/Voting Triggering Event, upon an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01 (f) or (g) or delivery of a Waterfall
Triggering Notice, so long as such Waterfall Triggering Notice has not been withdrawn, and (II) after any of the Obligations have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01 any amounts received on account of the Obligations
(including all proceeds of Collateral) in accordance with the terms hereof (which amounts so received by the Administrative Agent shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations with respect to such amounts notwithstanding that the order of application
set forth below may differ from the application required with respect to such payment by the relevant section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that gives rise to the payment of such amount) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent
in the following order:
108
(i) first, to the payment of all costs and expenses then due incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any collection, sale or realization on
Collateral or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party or any Parent Loan Guarantor and any other costs
or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
(ii) second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent (other than those covered in
clause first above) or to the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank from the Borrower constituting Secured Obligations,
(iii) third, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim
has yet been made) owed to the Revolving Lenders on the date of any such distribution, to (A) the payment in full of such Secured Obligations (including, with respect to LC Exposure, an amount to be paid to the Administrative Agent equal to 100%
of the LC Exposure (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account) on such date, to be held in the LC Collateral Account as Cash collateral for such Obligations) and in the case of payment of the outstanding principal amount of
the Revolving Loans, together with a concurrent permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, and (B) all Banking Services Obligations and all Secured Hedging Obligations in an amount
under this clause (B) not to exceed the Maximum Revolving Lender Cash Management/Secured Hedge Amount; provided that if any Letter of Credit expires undrawn, then any Cash collateral held to secure the related LC Exposure shall be applied in
accordance with this Section 2.18(b), beginning with clause first above,
(iv) fourth, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim
has yet been made) owed to the Secured Parties (other than the Revolving Lenders) on the date of any such distribution, to the payment in full of such Secured Obligations,
(v) fifth, as provided in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and
(vi) sixth, to, or at the direction of, the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
109
(c) If any Lender obtains payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
Loans of any Class or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or
Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase
(for Cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class and sub-participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans of other Lenders of such Class at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans; provided
that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment of
or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any permitted assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 2.22 or 2.23, and/or Section 9.05. The Borrower consents to
the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the
absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.18(c) and will, in each case, notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section
2.18(c) shall from and after the date of such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same
extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. For purposes of subclause (c) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, any Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section
2.18(c) shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) and/or Loan(s) to which such participation relates.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or any
Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the
amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal
Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or Section 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are
fully paid.
Section 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or determines it can no longer make or maintain SOFR Benchmark Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, or any Loan Party
is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable
judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.20, as the case may
be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
110
(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or determines it can no longer make or maintain SOFR Benchmark Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, (ii) any Loan
Party is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) in connection with any
proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender”, “each Revolving Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which
Required Lender or Required Revolving Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such Class or lesser
group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender is a non-consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments
of such Lender, and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date (provided that, if, after giving effect such termination and
repayment, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect, then the Borrower shall, not later than the next Business Day, prepay one
or more Revolving Loan Borrowings of the applicable Class or Swingline Loans (and, if no Revolving Loan Borrowings of such Class are outstanding, deposit Cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account) in an amount necessary to eliminate such
excess) or (y) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05),
all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that assumes such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such Lender
has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, in each case of such Class of Loans and/or Commitments, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Loan Document with respect to such Class of Loans and/or Commitments, (B) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment would result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law. No Lender (other than a Defaulting
Lender) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Borrower may not repay the Obligations of such Lender or terminate its Commitments, in each case, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence such sale and purchase and deliver to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment Agreement (provided
that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19 to execute an Assignment Agreement or deliver any such Promissory Note shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid), such
assignment shall be recorded in the Register and any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Xxxxxx’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Xxxxxx and in the name of such Xxxxxx, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute
any such Assignment Agreement or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (b).
111
Section 2.20. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date
that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term
SOFR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the
Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Benchmark Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Benchmark Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender
making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from the relevant Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or
convert all of such Lender’s SOFR Benchmark Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term
SOFR Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate) either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such SOFR Benchmark Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such
suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such
Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a
different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
Section 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Person becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall
apply for so long as such Person is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and pursuant to any other provisions of this
Agreement or other Loan Document.
(b) The Commitments and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, each affected Lender, the Required Lenders, the
Required Revolving Lenders or such other number of Lenders as may be required hereby or under any other Loan Document have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or modification pursuant to Section
9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately and adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall
require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(c) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity,
pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.15, Section 2.17, Section 2.18, Article 7, Section 9.05 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 9.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent and, where relevant, the Borrower as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any applicable Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so reasonably
determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, to be held as Cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth,
so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, as the Borrower may request, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, as the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower may elect, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
non-Defaulting Lenders, Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against
such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if
(x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loan or LC Exposure was made or created, as applicable, at a time
when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Exposure owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the
payment of any Loans of, or LC Exposure owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to any Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by any Defaulting Lender or to post Cash
collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
112
(d) If any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under the Revolving Facility (the “Non-Defaulting
Revolving Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all non-Defaulting Lenders attributable to the Revolving Credit
Commitments of any Class does not exceed the total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders of such Class and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender that is attributable to its Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Class does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any other right or
remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Requirements of Law, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash collateralize 100% of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and any obligations of such
Defaulting Lender to fund participations in any Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to paragraph (i) above and any Cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender or pursuant to Section 2.21(c)
above) or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender with respect to such LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans and obligations to fund participations.
Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce LC Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (A) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by
the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 2.19)) or (B) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash
collateral (including as a result of any subsequent reallocation of Swingline Loans and LC Exposure among non-Defaulting Lender described in clause (i) above);
(iii) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant
to Sections 2.12(a) and (b), as the case may be, shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and
(iv) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not Cash collateralized, prepaid or reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), then, without prejudice to any
rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing
Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash collateralized or reallocated.
113
(e) So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall now be required to fund any Swingline Loan, and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend,
create, incur, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, Cash collateral provided pursuant to Section
2.21(c) and/or Cash collateral provided in accordance with Section 2.21(d), and participating interests in any such or newly issued, extended or created Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among
Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(d)(i) (it being understood that Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).
(f) In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender,
then the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and on such date such Revolving Lender shall
purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class of the other Revolving Lenders or participations in Revolving Loans of the applicable Class as the Administrative Agent determine as necessary in order for such Revolving Lender
to hold such Revolving Loans or participations in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class or its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, as applicable. Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (x) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender and (y)
except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Xxxxxx’s having been a
Defaulting Lender.
Section 2.22. Incremental Credit Extensions.
(a) The Borrower may, at any time, on one or more occasions pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment (i) add one or more new Classes of term facilities and/or increase the principal
amount of the Term Loans of any existing Class by requesting new commitments to provide such Term Loans (any such new Class or increase, an “Incremental Term Facility” and any loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental
Term Loans”) and/or (ii) increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Facilities”; and
the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans” and any Incremental Revolving Loans, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Cap;
provided that:
(i) no Incremental Commitment in respect of any Incremental Term Facility may be in an amount that is less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount to which the
Administrative Agent may reasonably agree),
(ii) except as the Borrower and any Lender may separately agree, no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Commitment, and the determination to provide
any Incremental Commitment shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender (it being agreed that the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer the opportunity to any Lender to participate in any Incremental Facility except to the
extent required pursuant to Section 2.22(b)),
(iii) no Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (nor the creation, provision or implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender other than in
its capacity, if any, as a lender providing all or part of any Incremental Commitment or Incremental Loan,
114
(iv) except as otherwise permitted herein (including with respect to margin, pricing, maturity and fees), (A) the terms of any Incremental Term Facility, if not
substantially consistent with those applicable to any then-existing Term Loans, must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Representative (it being agreed that any terms contained in such Incremental Term Facility
(x) which are applicable only after the then-existing Latest Term Loan Maturity Date and/or (y) that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Incremental Term Facility than those contained in the Loan Documents and are then
conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Term Lenders, Revolving Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, pursuant to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment shall be deemed satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Representative) and (B) the terms of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be identical to any then-existing Revolving Facility,
(v) the Effective Yield (and the components thereof) applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lender or lenders providing such
Incremental Facility; provided that the Effective Yield applicable to any Incremental Term Facility which is pari passu with the Initial Term Loans in right of payment and with respect to security
may not be more than 0.50% higher than the Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans unless the Applicable Rate (and/or, as provided in the proviso below, the Alternate Base Rate floor or Term SOFR floor) with respect to the Initial
Term Loans is adjusted such that the Effective Yield on the Initial Term Loans is not more than 0.50% per annum less than the Effective Yield with respect to such Incremental Facility; provided, further, that any increase in
Effective Yield applicable to any Initial Term Loan due to the application or imposition of an Alternate Base Rate floor or Term SOFR floor on any Incremental Term Loan may, at the election of the Borrower, be effected through an increase in the
Alternate Base Rate floor or Term SOFR floor applicable to such Initial Term Loan,
(vi) the final maturity date with respect to any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that if such
Incremental Term Loans are secured by a lien on the Collateral that is junior to the lien securing the Secured Obligations or if such Incremental Term Loans are unsecured, the final maturity date with respect to such Incremental Term Loans shall
be no earlier than the date that is ninety-one (91) days after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date,
(vii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then-existing
tranche of Term Loans (without giving effect to any prepayment thereof); it being understood and agreed that no Incremental Term Facility shall have scheduled amortization due prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date,
(viii) subject to clauses (vi) and (vii) above, any Incremental Term Facility may otherwise have an amortization schedule as determined by the Borrower and
the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility,
(ix) subject to clause (v) above, to the extent applicable, any fees payable in connection with any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and
the arrangers and/or lenders providing such Incremental Facility,
(x) (A) any Incremental Term Facility may rank pari passu with or junior to any then-existing tranche of Term Loans, in right
of payment and/or security (for the avoidance of doubt, no such Incremental Term Facility may be pari passu with or senior to the Revolving Facility in right of payment and/or security) or may be unsecured (and to the extent the relevant
Incremental Facility is secured or subordinated in right of payment to any then-existing tranche of Term Loans, it shall be subject to an Intercreditor Agreement), (B) no Incremental Facility may be (x) guaranteed by any Person which is not a
Loan Party or a Parent Loan Guarantor or (y) secured by any assets other than the Collateral and (C) each Term Lender under any Incremental
Term Facility shall become a party to the AAL to the extent not then already a party thereto,
115
(xi) any Incremental Term Facility may participate (A) in any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(a)(i) and (B) in any mandatory
prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(b)(vi), in each case, to the extent provided in such Sections,
(xii) no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of any Incremental Facility incurred in connection with any acquisition, Investment or irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, no Event of Default under Sections 7.01(a), (f) or (g) shall exist
immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility,
(xiii) the proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for working capital and/or purchase price adjustments and other general corporate purposes (including capital
expenditures, acquisitions and Investments); provided, that the proceeds of any Incremental Term Facility may not be used to make Restricted Payments and/or Restricted Debt Payments,
(xiv) on the date of the Borrowing of any Incremental Term Loans that will be of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth in Sections 2.08 or 2.13 above, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the same Type as and, at the election of the Borrower, have the same Interest Period as) each
Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such Borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then-outstanding
Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause (a)(xiv) may result in new Incremental Term Loans having Interest Periods (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begin
during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding SOFR Benchmark Loans of the relevant Class and which end on the last day of such Interest Period,
(xv) the aggregate amount of Incremental Revolving Facilities that may be established hereunder shall not exceed $10,000,000,
(xvi) in no event may any Incremental Term Facility be provided (including by way of arrangement with any fronting bank) by any Person that is (A) a holder of Preferred Shares (or any Affiliate of such holder) or
(B) a holder of any Second Lien PIK Notes or any other Specified Junior Debt (or an Affiliate of such holder) at the time of consummation of such Incremental Term Facility; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit
any such Person from acquiring, in any secondary market, the relevant Incremental Term Loans by assignment, participation or otherwise after the initial closing thereof (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.05(g)), and
(xvii) Incremental Revolving Facilities shall be provided solely by commercial banks or investment banks.
116
(b) (i) Prior to the Borrower issuing one or more Incremental Term Facilities, in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $10,000,000 for all such Incremental Term
Facilities, the Borrower shall first seek commitments in respect of such Incremental Term Facility (the “Offered Debt”) from the existing Initial Term Lenders (other than any existing Initial Term Lender that holds any Preferred Shares (or
has an Affiliate that holds Preferred Shares) -at such time), each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to provide the applicable Incremental Commitments in its sole discretion, provided, that if any of the existing Initial Term
Lenders have declined the offer to provide the Offered Debt, have failed to respond to the offer to provide the Offered Debt or have otherwise not provided a binding written commitment to provide the Offered Debt on the terms so offered (or at
least as favorable as the terms so offered), in each case, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the offer to provide the Offered Debt from the Borrower (such 5th Business Day, the “Offer Deadline”), the Borrower may then seek
Incremental Term Commitments on substantially the same terms from other Persons; and provided, further that if any such other Person is not then an existing Lender, such Person must constitute an “Eligible Assignee” and the Administrative Agent
shall have a right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the relevant Person’s provision of Incremental Term Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 9.05(b) for an assignment of Loans
to such New Lender and (ii) Incremental Revolving Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender, or by any other commercial bank or investment bank (other than any person that holds any Preferred Shares (or has an Affiliate that holds
Preferred Shares) (any such lender an “Incremental Revolving Facility Lender”); ), provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any such Person from acquiring the relevant Incremental Term Loans by assignment, participation or
otherwise after the initial closing thereof (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.05(g)); provided further that, the Administrative Agent (in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the Swingline Lender and
any Issuing Bank) shall have the right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the new relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender’s provision of Incremental Revolving Commitments if such consent would be
required under Section 9.05(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender.
(c) Each Lender or Incremental Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all such documentation
(including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Commitment. To the extent any Incremental Lender is not a Lender, such Incremental
Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Representative an executed acknowledgment to the AAL, substantially in the form of Exhibit A thereto. On the effective date of such Incremental Commitment, each
Incremental Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.
(d) As conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility or the making of any Incremental Loans, (i) upon its request, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
receive customary written opinions of counsel, as well as such reaffirmation agreements, supplements and/or amendments as it shall reasonably require, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, from each Incremental Lender, an
Administrative Questionnaire and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Incremental Lender, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received, on behalf of the Incremental Lenders, the amount of any fees payable to the
Incremental Lenders in respect of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans, (iv) subject to Section 2.22(h), the Administrative Agent shall have received a Borrowing Request as if the relevant Incremental Loans were subject to Section
2.03 or another written request the form of which is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being understood and agreed that the requirement to deliver a Borrowing Request shall not result in the imposition of any additional
condition precedent to the availability of the relevant Incremental Loans) and (v) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive a certificate of the Borrower signed by a Responsible Officer thereof:
(A) certifying and attaching a copy of the resolutions adopted by the governing body of the Borrower approving or consenting to such Incremental Facility or Incremental
Loans, and
(B) to the extent applicable, certifying that the condition set forth in clause (a)(xii) above has been satisfied.
117
(e) Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.22, any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be established as Revolving Credit
Commitments of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant
Incremental Revolving Facility Lender, and each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Xxxxxx’s participations hereunder in outstanding
Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Revolving Lenders’ (including each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender) (A) participations hereunder in
Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant
to Section 2.22) and (ii) the existing Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders of such Class (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving

Extended Term Loans (as defined below) that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Extended Term Loans than those contained in the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Term
Lenders or, as applicable, the Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment and (C) any covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date (in each case, as of the date of such
Extension), the Term Loans of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (any such extended Term Loans, the “Extended Term Loans”) shall have substantially consistent terms (or terms not less favorable to existing Lenders) as the
tranche of Term Loans subject to the relevant Extension Offer; provided, that no Extended Term Loans shall be pari passu with or senior to the Revolving Facility in right of payment and/or security;
119
(iii) (x) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans may be no earlier than the then applicable Latest Term Loan Maturity Date at the time of Extension and (y)
no Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Loans may have a final maturity date earlier than (or require commitment reductions prior to) the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date;

of Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(b)(vi), in each case, to the extent provided in such Sections;
(vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Lenders have accepted the relevant Extension Offer exceed the
maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders shall be extended ratably
up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed the applicable Lender’s actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer;
(viii) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, any Extension must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000;
(ix) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition must be satisfied or waived by the Borrower;

respect to Letters of Credit without the consent of the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (and, in the absence of such consent, all references herein to Latest Revolving Credit
Maturity Date shall be determined, when used in reference to the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, without giving effect to such Extension).
(b) (i) No Extension consummated in reliance on this Section 2.23 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.11, (ii) the scheduled
amortization payments (insofar as such schedule affects payments due to Lenders participating in the relevant Class) set forth in Section 2.10 shall be adjusted to give effect to any Extension of any Class of Loans and/or Commitments and
(iii) except as set forth in clause (a)(viii) above, no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum
Extension Condition”) to the consummation of any Extension that a minimum amount (to be specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion) of Loans or Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches
be tendered; it being understood that the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, waive any such Minimum Extension Condition. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.23
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby
waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.10, 2.11 and/or 2.18) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this
Section.

(c) Subject to any consent required under Section 2.23(a)(xi), no consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the
consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans and/or Commitments of any Class (or a portion thereof). All Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect
thereof shall constitute Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral and guaranteed on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Secured
Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Extension Amendment and any amendments to any of the other Loan Documents with the Loan Parties and the Parent Loan Guarantors as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or Commitments so
extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms
consistent with this Section 2.23.

subsidiary under applicable Requirements of Law or (IV) relating to the strategy, negotiating positions or similar matters relating to the relationship of Parent or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, with the Lenders or
any of their Affiliates and/or the Purchasers under the Second Lien Note Purchase Agreement and/or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, or (3) required by confidentiality obligations of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to third
parties including Governmental Authorities (so long as such restriction exists or has been negotiated in good faith by Parent and not for the purpose of excluding or limiting the Board Observer). The Board Observer, and the minutes and

generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default exists, and the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan
Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Requirements of Law; it being understood that such term is

own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)
any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or
observance of any covenant, agreement or other term or condition set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any

misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein.
177
Section 8.04. Exclusive Right to Enforce Rights and Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agree that (a) (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the provisions of any Loan Document, including this Agreement, the Security
Agreement and/or the Loan Guaranty; it being understood that any right to enforce any such provision (including to realize upon the Collateral or enforce any Loan Guaranty) against any Loan Party or any Parent Loan Guarantor pursuant hereto or pursuant to any other Loan Document may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of all of a portion of the Secured Parties

of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply all or any portion of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such Disposition and (B) the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of all or any portion of such Collateral at any such Disposition.

retain or acquire any portion of the Collateral.
Section 8.05. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) that it believes to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise
authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may
presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of
Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with
the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 8.06. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents

Administrative Agent is no longer a Revolving Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and Administrative
Agent and signed by the Required Lenders. If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, deliver any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a financial institution which
shall be a commercial bank, trust company or other Person reasonably acceptable to the Borrower with offices in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of $1,000,000,000 or the Lender Representative to act as the Administrative
Agent hereunder, subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that during the existing and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), or
with respect to the Borrower, Sections 7.01(f) or (g), no consent of the Borrower shall be required. The Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earliest of (i) thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice of
resignation (regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or not), and (ii) the acceptance of such successor Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the Required Xxxxxxx. Upon any such notice of resignation (or such later date as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably agree), if a successor Administrative Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent, Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) which successor shall be a commercial bank, trust company or other Person reasonably acceptable to the Borrower with

to the Borrower, Sections 7.01(f) or (g), no consent of the Borrower shall be required.
(b) If, upon notice of resignation, neither Required Xxxxxxx nor the Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, the Required Xxxxxxx shall be deemed to have
succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that, until a successor Administrative Agent reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower is so appointed by the Required
Lenders or the Administrative Agent, any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent shall continue to be held by it until such time as a successor agent is appointed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or
removed Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held under the Loan Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or
appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) at the expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to
financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Loan Documents, whereupon such retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 9.13 hereof).
(c) The fees payable by the Borrower to any successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor Administrative Agent.
(d) After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or
removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the relevant Person was acting as Administrative Agent (including for this purpose
holding any collateral security following the retirement or removal of the Administrative Agent).
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Institution (nor any Affiliate thereof) may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.
179
Section 8.08. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent. Each of each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of each Lender and each Issuing Bank
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and
other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any
credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties, the Parent Loan Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Arranger shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, except in its respective capacity as a Lender
hereunder.
Section 8.09. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall:

that is sold or otherwise Disposed of (other than pursuant to a lease, sublease, license or sublicense) as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under (or not restricted by) the Loan Documents (subject to the last paragraph of Section
6.07), (iii) that does not constitute (or ceases to constitute) Collateral (and/or otherwise becomes an Excluded Asset), (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the release of such Subsidiary
Guarantor from its Loan Guaranty otherwise in accordance with the Loan Documents, (v) as required under clause (d) below, (vi) pursuant to the provisions of any applicable Loan Document or (vii) if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9.02;
(b) subject to Section 9.22, release (or evidence the release of) any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty (i) if such Person ceases to be a
Restricted Subsidiary or is an Excluded Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions not prohibited hereunder, including for the avoidance of doubt, any Permitted Practice
Subsidiary Restructuring) and/or (ii) in the case of any Discretionary Guarantor, at the election of the Borrower, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at any time so long as, in the case of this clause (ii), after
giving pro forma effect to such release and, if applicable, the relevant transaction, the Borrower is deemed to have made a new Investment in such Person (as if such Person was then newly acquired) on the date of such release and such Investment
is not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents; provided that if any Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to constitute a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be released from its Loan Guaranty unless (A) such Subsidiary
Guarantor is no longer a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower or (B) after giving pro forma effect to such release and the consummation of the relevant transaction, the Borrower is deemed to have made a new Investment in such Person (as
if such Person was then newly acquired) and such Investment is not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents; it being understood that this proviso shall not limit the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor that otherwise constitutes an Excluded
Subsidiary for any reason other than not constituting a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower (this proviso, the “Specified Guarantor Release Provision”);
(c) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections
6.02(d), 6.02(e), 6.02(g)(i), 6.02(l), 6.02(m), 6.02(n), 6.02(o)(i) (other than any Lien on the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor), 6.02(q), 6.02(r) that are expressly
included in this clause (c)), 6.02(x), 6.02(y), 6.02(z)(i), 6.02(bb), 6.02(cc), 6.02(dd) (in the case of clause (ii), to the extent the relevant Lien covers cash collateral posted to
secure the relevant obligation), 6.02(ee), 6.02(ff), 6.02(gg) and/or 6.02(hh) (and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any thereof to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness is permitted to be secured under
Section 6.02(k));
180
(d) enter into subordination, intercreditor, collateral trust and/or similar agreements with respect to Indebtedness (including any Intercreditor Agreement and/or any amendment to any
Intercreditor Agreement) that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder and/or (ii) secured by Xxxxx, and with respect to which Indebtedness, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar
agreement, with each of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties irrevocably agreeing to the treatment of the Lien on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations as set forth in any such agreement and it will be bound by and will take no
action contrary to the provisions of any such agreement; and
(e) execute and/or deliver, as applicable, any amendment to any UCC financing statement and/or any other document evidencing the security interest granted pursuant to the Collateral
Documents to indicate that Excluded Assets and/or other assets that do not constitute and are not required to constitute Collateral are not subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.
Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this Article 8 or any Parent Loan Guarantor from its obligations under the Parent Loan Guaranty or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to Section 3.15 of the Parent Loan Guaranty. In each case as specified in this Article 8,
the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender, and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party or the Parent Loan Guarantors may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest
granted under the Collateral Documents, to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Loan Party or the Parent Loan Guarantors from
its obligations under the Loan Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 8; provided, that upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of
a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.09 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, each Lender and each other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, execute and deliver any instruments, documents, consents, acknowledgments, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence, effectuate or confirm the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor or
Collateral or the subordination of any Lien pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.09 or the release of any Parent Loan Guarantor or
Collateral pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.15 of the Parent Loan Guaranty.
It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any other Loan Document and/or in the documentation governing any Hedge Agreement and/or any agreement
governing Banking Services, (a) unless otherwise agreed to by the Borrower and any applicable counterparty to any agreement governing any Secured Hedging Obligation and/or any Banking Service, the obligations of Holdings, the Borrower or any
subsidiary under any such agreement shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the Loan Guaranty only to the extent that, and for so long as, the Obligations are so secured and guaranteed and (b) any release of any
Lien on any Collateral and/or any Loan Guarantor effected in a manner permitted by this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document shall not require the consent of any such counterparty.
181
Section 8.10. Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent is authorized by the Lenders and each other Secured Party to, and shall enter into anythe Second Lien Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, any other Intercreditor Agreement and any other
intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement contemplated hereby with respect to any (a) Indebtedness (i) that is (A) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder and/or (B) secured by any Lien permitted hereunder and
(ii) which contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement and/or (b) Secured Hedging Obligations and/or Banking Services Obligations, whether or not constituting Indebtedness (any such other intercreditor,
subordination, collateral trust and/or similar agreement, which intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust and/or similar agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Lender Representative and the Administrative Agent, an “Additional
Agreement”), and the Secured Parties party hereto acknowledge that any Intercreditor Agreement and any other Additional Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender and each other Secured Party party hereto hereby (a) agrees that they will
be bound by, and will not take any action contrary to, the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement or any other Additional Agreement and (b) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement and/or any
other Additional Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations to the provisions thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to extend
credit to the Borrower, and the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Additional Agreement.
Section 8.11. Indemnification of Administrative Agent. To the extent that the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower in
accordance with and to the extent required by Section 9.03(b) hereof, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any Affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages (determined as if
there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted
against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided
that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
Section 8.12. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent may
withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or
for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in
this paragraph shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
obligations under any Loan Document. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for all purposes of this paragraph, include any Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.
182
Section 8.13. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party or any Parent Loan Guarantor, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loans shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties and Parent Loan Guarantors) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file
such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured
Parties and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments
to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03.
Section 8.14. Erroneous Payments.
(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (any such
Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of
its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such
funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), the Administrative Agent shall, within thirty (30) calendar days
of the date of the payment of such Erroneous Payment to the Payment Recipient, notify the Payment Recipient and demand the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of
the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on
its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was
made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is
repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A
notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If a Payment Recipient receives any payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution
or otherwise and does not receive a corresponding payment notice or payment advice from the Administrative Agent, such payment, prepayment or repayment shall be presumed to be in error absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to
the contrary.
183
(b) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan
Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the
indemnification provisions of this Article 8.
(c) For so long as an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) has not been returned by any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (such unrecovered
amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”) to the Administrative Agent after demand therefor in accordance with clause (a) above, (i) the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the
relevant Lender or Secured Party, that all rights and claims of such Lender or Secured Party with respect to the Loans or other Obligations owed to such Person up to the amount of the corresponding Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency in respect
of such Erroneous Payment (the “Corresponding Amount”) shall immediately vest in the Administrative Agent upon such election; after such election, with respect to Loans, the Administrative Agent (x) may reflect its ownership interest in
the relevant Loans in a principal amount equal to the Corresponding Amount in the Register, and (y) upon five business days’ written notice to such Lender may sell such Loan (or portion thereof) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with Section
9.05 in respect of the Corresponding Amount, and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by such Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and
the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf), and (ii) each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the
Administrative Agent has sold such Loans, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party
with respect to the relevant Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (determined after any reduction as a result of the vesting described in clause (i)) (it being understood and agreed that aggregate Obligations of the Loan Parties or the Parent Loan Guarantors shall not be increased as a result of the application of this clause (ii)). For the avoidance of doubt, no
vesting or sale pursuant to this clause (c) will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or Parent Loan Guarantor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous
Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party (or Parent Loan Guarantor) for
the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(e) No Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or
recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(f) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or
obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the occurrence of the Termination Date.
(g) This Section 8.14 shall not apply to the disbursement of any proceeds of a Loan to or at the express direction of the Borrower unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing
by the Borrower.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Borrower and, the Loan Parties and the Parent Loan Guarantors shall have
no obligations or liabilities for any actions, consequences or remediation (including the repayment of any amounts) contemplated by this Section 8.14; provided that under no circumstances shall this Section 8.14(h) affect
the Borrower’s or, any Loan Parties’Party’s or any Parent Loan Guarantor’s obligations or liabilities with respect to any Obligations that remain outstanding.

All such notices and other communications (A) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or
by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof or three Business Days after dispatch if sent by certified or registered mail, in each case, delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to the relevant party as provided in this Section
9.01 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 9.01 or (B) sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent and when receipt has been confirmed by
telephone; provided that notices and other communications sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, such notices or other communications
shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in clause (b) below shall be
effective as provided in such clause (b).
(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to
procedures set forth herein or otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower (on behalf of any Loan Party or
the Parent Loan Guarantors) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures set forth herein or otherwise approved by it; provided
that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the
intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that any such notice or communication not given during the normal business hours of the

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number or other notice information hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto; it being understood and agreed that the
Borrower may provide any such notice to the Administrative Agent as recipient on behalf of itself, the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Lender.
(d) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided
by, or on behalf of, Holdings or the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material nonpublic information within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws with respect to Holdings, the Borrower or their respective securities) (each, a “Public
Lender”). At the request of the Administrative Agent, each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC”, (ii)
by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Holdings and the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as information of a type that would (A) customarily be made publicly
available, as determined in good faith by the Borrower, if Holdings or the Borrower were to become public reporting companies or (B) would not be material with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, their respective subsidiaries, any of their
respective securities or the Transactions as determined in good faith by the Borrower for purposes of the United States federal securities laws and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be required to treat Borrower Materials that are not marked
“PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC,” unless the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material nonpublic information (it being understood that the Borrower shall have a reasonable opportunity to review the same prior to distribution and comply with SEC or other
applicable disclosure obligations): (1) the Loan Documents, (2) any amendment to any Loan Document and (3) any information delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) or (b).
187
Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content
declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make
reference to communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United
States Federal or state securities laws.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS ON, OR THE
ADEQUACY OF, THE PLATFORM, AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY SUCH COMMUNICATION. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY
HERETO OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND
IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof except as provided herein or in any Loan Document, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party hereto therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by this Section 9.02, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it is given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, neither the
making of any Loan nor the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default or Event of Default at the time.
188
(b) Subject to this Section 9.02(b) and Sections 9.02(d) below and to Section 9.05(f), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof
or thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the
Required Lenders) or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than any waiver, amendment or modification to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Document), pursuant to an agreement
or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party that is party thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that:
(A) the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the consent of the Required Lenders) shall be required for any waiver, amendment or
modification that:
(1) increases the Commitment of such Lender (other than with respect to any Incremental Facility pursuant to Section 2.22 in respect of which such Lender has
agreed to be an Incremental Lender); it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or
mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute an increase of any Commitment of such Lender;
(2) reduces the principal amount of any Loan owed to such Lender;
(3) (x) extends the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or (y) postpones any Interest Payment Date with respect to any Loan held by such Lender or the date of any
scheduled payment of any fee or premium payable to such Lender hereunder (in each case, other than any extension for administrative reasons agreed by the Administrative Agent);
(4) reduces the rate of interest (other than to waive any Default or Event of Default or obligation of the Borrower to pay interest to such Lender at the default rate of
interest under Section 2.13(d), which shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders) or the amount of any fee or premium owed to such Lender; it being understood that no change in the definition of “Secured Net Leverage Ratio” or
“Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” or any other financial test or any ratio used in the calculation of the Applicable Rate, or in the calculation of any other interest, fee or premium due hereunder (including any component definition thereof) shall
constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fee hereunder;

than to any Disqualified Institution, any natural Person, any holder of Preferred Shares (or any Affiliate of such holder) or, other than with respect to any participation to any Debt Fund Affiliate (any such participations to a Debt Fund
Affiliate being subject to the limitation set forth in the first proviso of the final paragraph set forth in Section 9.05(g), as if the limitation applied to such participations), the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, further that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent
of the relevant Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in (x) clause (A) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects the Loans or commitments in which such Participant
has an interest and (y) clauses (B)(1), (2) or (3) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b). Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15 and 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Section 2.19) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender, and if additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.17(a)
or Section 2.17(c), to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent). To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender; provided
that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.
198
(ii) No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17 than the participating Lender would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such
Participant’s entitlement to benefits under Sections 2.15 and 2.17 is not limited to what the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the participation.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and their
respective successors and registered assigns, and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender
shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to any Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or any other
obligation under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S.
Treasury Regulations or under Section 1.163 5(b) of the proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d) (i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to any Disqualified Institution or
any natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section
9.05 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(ii) No Lender may at any time enter into a total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative instrument under which any Secured
Obligation is a reference obligation with any counterparty that is a Disqualified Institution.
199
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such
in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the
Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of any Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting
Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement
(including its obligations under Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater amount under Sections 2.15 or 2.17 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the
Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the grant to such SPC is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such SPC’s entitlement to benefits under Sections
2.15 and 2.17 is not limited to what the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to the SPC, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all
liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record
hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the
Requirements of Law of the U.S. or any State thereof; provided that (i) such SPC’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Borrower hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating any SPC hereby
agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.05, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor,
assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety,
guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(f) (i) Any assignment or participation by a Lender (A) to any Disqualified Institution or any Affiliate thereof or (B) to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under this
Section 9.05 (and not deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 9.05(b)(i)(A)) without the Borrower’s consent, to any other Person, shall be null and void, and the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance to
unwind any such assignment or participation and/or specifically enforce this Section 9.05(f) in addition to injunctive relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedies available to the
Borrower at law or in equity; it being understood and agreed that Holdings, the Borrower and its subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if any Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 9.05 as it relates to any assignment,
participation or pledge of any Loan or Commitment to any Disqualified Institution or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person to whom the Borrower’s consent is required but not obtained. Nothing in this Section 9.05(f) shall be deemed
to prejudice any right or remedy that Holdings or the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity. Upon the request of any Xxxxxx, the Administrative Agent may and the Borrower will make the list of Disqualified Institutions (other than any
Disqualified Institution that is a reasonably identifiable Affiliate of another Disqualified Institution on the basis of such Person’s name) available to such Lender so long as such Xxxxxx agrees to keep the list of Disqualified Institutions
confidential in accordance with the terms hereof.
200
(ii) If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.05 is made to any Disqualified Institution and/or Affiliate of any Disqualified Institution (other
than any Competitor Debt Fund Affiliate) and/or any other person whom the Borrower’s consent is required but not obtained, in each case without the Borrower’s prior written consent (any such person, a “Disqualified Person”), then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such
Disqualified Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Term Loans, held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans, plus
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Person to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.05),
all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (I) in the case of clause (B), the applicable Disqualified Person has received payment of an amount equal to the
lesser of (1) par and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid for the applicable Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the Borrower, (II) in the case of clause (C), the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 9.05 (except that (x) no registration and processing fee required under this Section 9.05 shall
be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph and (y) any Term Loan acquired by any Affiliated Lender pursuant to this paragraph will not be included in calculating compliance with the Affiliated Lender Cap for a period of 90 days
following such transfer; provided that, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeds the Affiliated Lender Cap on the 91st day following such transfer, then such excess amount shall either
be (x) contributed to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries and retired and cancelled immediately upon such contribution or (y) automatically cancelled)) and (III) in no event shall such Disqualified Person be entitled to receive
amounts set forth in Section 2.13(d). Further, any Disqualified Person identified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (A) shall not be permitted to (x) receive information or reporting provided by any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender and/or (y) attend and/or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (B) (x) shall not for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or the
majority Lenders under any Class have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii)
otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, have a right
to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action; it being understood that all Loans held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not
outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, majority Lenders under any Class or all Lenders have taken any action, and (y) shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons
in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Parent Loan Guarantor and
(C) shall not be entitled to receive the benefits of Section 9.03. For the sake of clarity, the provisions in this Section 9.05(f) shall not apply to any Person that is an assignee of any Disqualified Person, if such assignee is
not a Disqualified Person.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have
any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Institution or Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to any assignment or participation made to
any Disqualified Institution or Disqualified Person (regardless of whether the consent of the Administrative Agent is required thereto), and none of the Borrower, any Lender or their respective Affiliates will bring any claim to such effect.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its
Term Loans to any Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis (A) through Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders holding the relevant Term Loans on a pro rata basis or (B) through open market purchases, in each case with respect to clauses (A)
and (B), without the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided that:
201
(i) (A) any Term Loans acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be
retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; provided that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the
aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled and (B) in no event shall Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries offer to acquire the Term Loans of any Affiliated Lender pursuant to this Section
9.05(g) unless such offer to acquire is made to all Lenders holding the relevant Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (it being understood and agreed that if such other Lenders of such Class decline (or fail to respond to) the offer to
acquire such Term Loans within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the offer to acquire such Term Loans from Holdings, the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, then Holdings, the Borrower and/or the applicable
Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to offer the entire amount so declined (or with respect to which there was a failure to respond) to Affiliated Lenders;
(ii) any Term Loans acquired by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate (other than Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) may (but shall not be required to)
be contributed to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (it being understood that any such Term Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled promptly upon such contribution); provided
that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed
and cancelled;

(iv) after giving effect to the relevant assignment and to all other assignments to all Affiliated Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans then held by

that each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
incurred or suffered by any Person in connection with any compliance or non-compliance with this clause (g)(iv) or any purported assignment exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (it being understood and agreed that the Affiliated Lender Cap
is intended to apply to any Loans made available to Affiliated Lenders by means other than formal assignment (e.g., as a result of an acquisition of another Lender (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate) by
any Affiliated Lender or the provision of Additional Term Loans by the Sponsors); provided, further, that to the extent that any assignment to any Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held
by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof), the assignment of the relevant excess amount shall be null and void; and
(v) in connection with any assignment effected pursuant to a Dutch Auction and/or open market purchase conducted by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, (A) the relevant Person may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans to fund such assignment and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of acceptance of bids for the Dutch Auction or the confirmation of such open
market purchase, as applicable; and
(vi) by its acquisition of Term Loans, each relevant Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:
(A) it is subject to the restrictions on voting set forth in Section 9.02(c); and

discussion (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender or among Lenders to which the Loan Parties or their representatives are not invited or (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party or its
representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article 2);
202
(vii) no Affiliated Lender shall be required to represent or warrant that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the
Borrower and/or any subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 9.05(g).
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Crossholder Lender Term Loan Exchange and Cancellation may be consummated on the Second Amendment Effective Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans and/or
Commitments to any Debt Fund Affiliate, and any Debt Fund Affiliate may, from time to time, purchase Loans and/or Commitments (x) on a pro rata basis through Dutch auctions open to all applicable Lenders in accordance with customary procedures or
(y) on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases (including, for the avoidance of doubt, negotiated transactions) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, in each case, notwithstanding the requirements set forth in subclauses

undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that the portion of the Loan and/or Commitments that accounts for more than 49.9% of the relevant Required Lender
or Required Revolving Lender action shall be deemed to be voted on pro rata basis in accordance with the votes of Lenders that are not Debt Fund Affiliates. Any Loan acquired by any Debt Fund Affiliate may (but shall not be required to) be
contributed to Holdings or any of its subsidiaries for purposes of cancelling such Indebtedness (it being understood that any Loan so contributed shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled
immediately upon thereof); provided that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the relevant Class of Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans so contributed and cancelled, and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be reduced pro rata by the full par value of the aggregate
principal amount of any applicable Term Loans so contributed and cancelled.

considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loan and issuance of any Letter of Credit regardless of any investigation made by any such
other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall
continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.17, 9.03 and 9.13 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Credit Commitment, the occurrence of the Termination Date or the termination of this
Agreement or any provision hereof but in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement.
203
Section 9.07. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, each Intercreditor Agreement and the Fee Letters constitute the entire agreement among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by Holdings, the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent has received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that, subject to any Requirement of Law, the words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any Loan
Document shall be deemed to include any Electronic Signature, delivery or the keeping of any record in electronic form, each of which shall have the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery
thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and
Records Act, or any similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.09. Right of Setoff. At any time when an Event of Default exists, upon the written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank and each Lender is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
obligations (in any currency) at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party or any Parent Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank
or such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different than the branch or office holding such
deposit or obligation on such Indebtedness. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and any applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided
that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may have.

Section 9.14. No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of
this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, the Parent Loan Guarantors, their
stockholders and/or their respective affiliates. Each Loan Party and Parent Loan Guarantor agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or
otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party or Parent Loan Guarantor, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates, on the other. Each Loan Party and Parent Loan Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial
transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties and Parent Loan Guarantors, on the other, and (ii) in connection
therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender, in its capacity as such, has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party or Parent Loan Guarantor, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process
leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party or Parent Loan Guarantor,
its respective stockholders or its respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender, in its capacity as such, is acting solely
as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Loan Party or Parent Loan Guarantor, its respective management, stockholders, creditors
or any other Person. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Loan Party and each Parent Loan Guarantor waives
any claim that it may have against any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty arising solely by virtue of this Agreement. Each Loan Party and each Parent Loan Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that such Loan Party or Parent Loan Guarantor has
consulted its own legal, tax and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.
Section 9.15. Several Obligations. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan, issue any Letter of
Credit or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party and each Parent Loan Guarantor, which
information includes the name and address of such Loan Party or Parent Loan Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify such Loan Party or such Parent Loan Guarantor in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and the Borrower in accordance with the
Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

Guarantors, each Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of
the Loan Parties, the Parent Loan Guarantors and their respective Affiliates.

Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable Requirement of Law can be perfected only by possession. If any Lender or Issuing Bank (other than the
Administrative Agent) obtains possession of any Collateral, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the
Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.
Section 9.19. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or Letter of Credit, together with
all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or Letter of Credit under applicable Requirements of Law (collectively the “Charged Amounts”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”)
which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender or Issuing Bank holding such Loan or Letter of Credit in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or
Letter of Credit hereunder, together with all Charged Amounts payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charged Amounts that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or
Letter of Credit but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charged Amounts payable to such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect of other Loans or Letters of Credit or periods shall be
increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, have been received by such Lender or Issuing Bank.

THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS AND THE PROVISIONS OF EACH APPLICABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

obligations hereunder (and its Loan Guaranty and any Lien granted by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to any Collateral Document shall be automatically released) (i) upon the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions not
prohibited hereunder if as a result thereof such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or is an Excluded Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions not

209
(a) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more benefit plans with respect to such Xxxxxx’s entrance into,

(c) (i) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (ii) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager

In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with
sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender further (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 Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or Parent Loan Guarantor, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Xxxxxx’s entrance into, participation in,
administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document

obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Related Party’s, as applicable, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined

Exposures, unused Commitments and outstanding Loans, in each case, at the time (or most recently outstanding and in effect).
210
Section 9.25. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivative Transactions 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 “US 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 US or any other state
of the US):
(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 US 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 US 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 US or a state of the US. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a US 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 US Special Resolution Regime
if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the US or a state of the US. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender
shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b) As used in this Section 9.25, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC ACT Affiliate” means an “affiliate” (as defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)).
“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(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).

(the Borrower, each Parent Loan Guarantor, each Loan Guarantor each other guarantor or such other Person, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its rights in respect of any Collateral securing all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations. The Administrative Agent may enforce this Loan Guaranty at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 2.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.
(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein (including under Section 3.15), the obligations of each Parent Loan
Guarantor hereunder are unconditional, irrevocable and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender,
alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Obligated Party or sale of assets by the Obligated Party, in each
case whether consented to by any Secured Party or otherwise; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any other Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any
obligation of any Obligated Party; (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which any Parent Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in
connection herewith or in any unrelated transaction; (v) any direction as to application of payments by the Borrower or by any other party; (vi) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of
any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; (viii) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower; or (ix) any
payment made to any Secured Party on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Secured Party repays to the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and
each Parent Loan Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.
(b) Except for termination of a Parent Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or as expressly permitted by Section
3.15, the obligations of each Parent Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any Requirement of Law purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.
(c) Further, the obligations of any Parent Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise
affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision
of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of the Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (v) the acceleration of the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) the application by any of the Secured Parties of the proceeds of any other guaranty of or insurance for any of the Guaranteed Obligations to the
payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in
any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Parent Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Parent Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity, in each case other than as set forth in Section 3.15.

SECTION 2.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, and except for
termination of a Parent Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or as otherwise provided for herein (including under Section 3.15), each Parent Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any
Parent Loan Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or arising out of the disability of any Parent Loan Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other party or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Parent Loan Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Parent Loan
Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any notice not provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, including any notice of
nonperformance, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceptance of this Loan Guaranty, and any notice of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations, as well as any requirement that at any
time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person, including any right (except as may be required by applicable Requirements of Law and to the extent the relevant requirement cannot be waived) to
require the Administrative Agent to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Parent Loan Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any
other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s power whatsoever. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, foreclose on any Collateral held
by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law), accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any Collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Administrative Agent may, at its election compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations,
make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Parent Loan Guarantor
under this Loan Guaranty, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.15. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Parent Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though
such election may operate, pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Parent Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.
SECTION 2.05 Authorization. Each Parent Loan Guarantor authorizes the Administrative Agent without notice or
demand (except as may be required by applicable Requirements of Law and to the extent the relevant requirement cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder (except as set forth in Section 3.15), from

accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in
respect thereof, and this Loan Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;
(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender,
realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those

instruments or agreements; and/or
(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or
equitable discharge of the Parent Loan Guarantors from their respective liabilities under this Loan Guaranty.
SECTION 2.06 Rights of Subrogation. No Parent Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action,
including any claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Parent Loan Guarantor or any Loan Party in respect of this Loan Guaranty until the occurrence of the Termination Date; provided that if any
amount is paid to such Parent Loan Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, then unless such Parent Loan Guarantor has already discharged its liabilities under this Loan Guaranty in an
amount equal to such Parent Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date, such amount shall be held by the recipient Parent Loan Guarantor in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid by the recipient
Parent Loan Guarantor to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 2.18(b) of the Credit Agreement.
5
SECTION 2.07 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each Parent Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to such
payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all
such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the other Parent Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 2.08 Information. Each Parent Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself
informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Parent Loan Guarantor
assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any Parent Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those
circumstances or risks.
SECTION 2.09 Contribution; Subordination; Maximum Liability.
(a) In the event that any Parent Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) makes any payment or payments under this
Loan Guaranty or suffers any loss as a result of any realization upon any Collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty (each such payment or loss, an “Accommodation Payment”), each other Parent Loan
Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” of such Accommodation Payment by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of
this Article 2, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” with respect to any Accommodation Payment by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such Accommodation Payment was made by reference
to the ratio of (a) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability (as defined below) as of such date to (b) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Parent Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date. As of
any date of determination, the “Maximum Liability” of each Parent Loan Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability which could be asserted against such Parent Loan Guarantor hereunder and under the Credit Agreement
without (i) rendering such Parent Loan Guarantor “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraud Conveyance
Act (“UFCA”), (ii) leaving such Parent Loan Guarantor with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (iii) leaving such Parent
Loan Guarantor unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA. Nothing in this provision shall affect any Parent Loan Guarantor’s several
liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Parent Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Parent Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan
Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Secured Obligations until the Termination Date. If, prior to the Termination Date, any such contribution payment is received by a Paying
Guarantor at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such contribution payment shall be collected, enforced and received by such Parent Loan Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Parties and be paid over to the
Administrative Agent on account of the Secured Obligations, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Parent Loan Guarantor under the other provisions of this Loan Guaranty. This provision is for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties.
6
(b) It is the desire and intent of the Parent Loan Guarantors and the Secured Parties that this Loan Guaranty shall be
enforced against the Parent Loan Guarantors to the fullest extent permissible under the Requirements of Law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are
severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Requirements of Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the
obligations of any Parent Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Parent Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty,
then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Parent Loan Guarantors or the Secured Parties, be automatically limited and reduced to
such Parent Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability. Each Parent Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of such Parent Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan
Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Parent Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum
Liability.
