(p) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, pro forma compliance with any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts

incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence and shall be calculated for the most recent twelve consecutive month period ending prior to the date of such determination for which internal consolidated financial statements of Holdings are available, except that incurrences of Indebtedness and Liens constituting Fixed Amounts shall be taken into account for purposes of Incurrence Based Amounts.

The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount (unless the amount available to be borrowed at the time of such Borrowing is less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount). More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than five Borrowings of SOFR Loans in the aggregate for all Term Loans.

Section 2.03 Notice of Borrowing. Except with respect to the Borrowings and Loans made on the ~~Sixth~~Seventh Amendment Effective Date, which shall not require any additional notice of such Borrowing and Loan, if the Borrower desires to incur the Loans (or portions thereof) as (x) SOFR Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior notice of the Loans to be incurred hereunder and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one Business Day’s (or such shorter period as shall be

acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior notice of the Loans to be incurred hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such day. Such notice (the “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.11, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, in the form of Exhibit F, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, (ii) the Class of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (iii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, SOFR Loans and, if SOFR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and (v) the applicable account details for the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

Section 2.04 Repayment of Loans.

(a) The principal amount of the Initial Term Loans of each Lender shall be repaid (i) on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the last Business Day of the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries following the ~~Sixth~~Seventh Amendment Effective Date, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Amendment No. 67 Refinancing Term Loans outstanding on the ~~Sixth~~Seventh Amendment Effective Date (after giving effect to the Seventh Amendment) (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with this Section 2.04, Section 4.01, Section 4.02 or purchases in accordance with Section 12.04(a)(iv) or increased as a result of any increase in the amount of such Amendment No. 67 Refinancing Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.15) and (ii) on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the remaining outstanding principal balance.

(b) The principal amount of Incremental Term Loans of each Additional Incremental Lender shall be repaid as provided in the respective Incremental Amendment, subject to the requirements of Section 2.15. To the extent not previously paid, each Incremental Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date applicable to such Incremental Term Loan.

(c) The principal amount of any Loans extended pursuant to an Extension shall be repaid as provided in the respective Extension, subject to the requirements of Section 2.16. To the extent not previously paid, each Loan under a Tranche extended pursuant to an Extension shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date applicable to such Loan as provided in the respective Extension, subject to the requirements of Section 2.16.

(d) The principal amount of any Other Term Loans shall be repaid as provided in the respective Refinancing Amendment, subject to the requirements of Section 2.17. To the extent not previously paid, each Other Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date applicable to such Other Term Loan as provided in the respective Refinancing Amendment, subject to the requirements of Section 2.17.

Section 2.05 Disbursement of Funds. No later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.08) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office, or to such other account as the Borrower may specify in writing prior to the ~~Sixth~~Seventh Amendment Effective Date, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.09. Nothing in this Section 2.05 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

Section 2.06 Promissory Notes.

(a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans of any Class under a Tranche made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit G (each, a “Term Note” and, collectively, the “Term Notes”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan of any Class under a Tranche made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes with respect to such Loans will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of such Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.06 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans under a Tranche to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans under such Tranche (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guarantees therefor provided pursuant to the various Loan Documents. Any Lender which

does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans under a Tranche, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

Section 2.07 Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same Tranche) of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Loan, provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(b) or unless the Borrower complies with the provisions of Section 2.12, SOFR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of SOFR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such SOFR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Significant Event of Default, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into SOFR Loans, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of SOFR Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least (x) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of conversions of SOFR Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case substantially in the form of Exhibit H, appropriately completed to specify the Term Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into SOFR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

Section 2.08 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of any Tranche of Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments applicable to such Tranche of Loans. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

Section 2.09 Interest.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan maintained as a Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan maintained as a SOFR Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.10 or 2.11, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan as provided in the respective Incremental Amendment, subject to the requirements of Section 2.15. The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan extended pursuant to an Extension as provided in the respective Extension, subject to the requirements of Section 2.16.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Significant Event of Default, overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and all other overdue amounts shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans or (y) in the case of all other overdue amounts (including, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest) payable hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.09(d) shall be payable on written demand.

(e) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each SOFR Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(f) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine Term SOFR for each Interest Period applicable to the respective SOFR Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of such SOFR Loans thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto

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

Section 2.10 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any SOFR Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such SOFR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, three, six or, if approved by each Lender with Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments under the relevant Tranche, twelve month period or any shorter period, provided that (in each case):

(a) all SOFR Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(b) the initial Interest Period for any SOFR Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such SOFR Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such SOFR Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(c) if any Interest Period for a SOFR Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(d) if any Interest Period for a SOFR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a SOFR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(e) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Significant Event of Default, no Interest Period may be selected; and

(f) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans; provided, that the Interest Period for any Borrowing to be made on the ~~Sixth~~Seventh Amendment Effective Date (which Interest Period shall commence on the ~~Sixth~~Seventh Amendment Effective Date) may end on ~~September 3~~May 30, ~~2023~~2024.

If by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of SOFR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such SOFR Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such SOFR Loans as SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one month effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

Section 2.11 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (A) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(A) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes in any Requirement of Law arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the Term SOFR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Term SOFR; or

(B) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any SOFR Loan because of (x) any change since the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender, the Term SOFR market or the position of such Lender in such market (including that Adjusted Term SOFR with respect to such SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such SOFR Loan); or

(C) at any time, that the making or continuance of any SOFR Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the Term SOFR market; then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (A) above) shall promptly give notice (in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (A) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (A) above, SOFR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to SOFR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (B) above, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine after consultation with the Borrower) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail (provided that such Lender shall not be required to disclose any price sensitive information, any confidential information or any information to the extent prohibited by law or regulation) the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto); provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation under this clause (y) if (i) the relevant circumstances are not generally affecting the banking market or (ii) the applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders; and (z) in the case of clause (C) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.11(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any SOFR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.11(a)(B), the Borrower may, and in the case of a SOFR Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.11(a)(C), the Borrower shall, either (x) if the affected SOFR Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent notice (in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(B) or (C) or (y) if the affected SOFR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such SOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.11(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the date of this Agreement the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning liquidity or capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.11(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts, will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.11(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (y) all requests rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change after the date of this Agreement in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.11).

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.11 shall not apply to any Excluded Taxes or to any Indemnified Taxes, which are otherwise provided for in Section 4.04.

(f) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such

proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.11(f)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.11(f)(iv) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11, 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 2.11.

(iv) 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, without limitation, the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the 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 not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (iv)(i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

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

Section 2.12 Compensation.

(a) The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail (provided that such Lender shall not be required to disclose any price sensitive information, any confidential information or any information to the extent prohibited by law or regulation) the basis for requesting such compensation, and shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto), for all actual losses, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any actual loss, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its SOFR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, SOFR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.11(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01, Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10) or conversion of any of its SOFR Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (other than as a result of any required conversion pursuant to Section 2.11(b)); (iii) if any prepayment of any of its SOFR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay SOFR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.11(b).

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or 2.12, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) The Borrower shall make such compensation under Section 2.11 or 2.12 within 30 days after receipt of written request therefor.

Section 2.13 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.11(a)(B) or (C), Section 2.11(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no legal, regulatory or unreimbursed economic disadvantage (including unreimbursed costs or expenses), with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.13 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.11 and 4.04.

Section 2.14 Replacement of Lenders.

(a) (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.11(a)(B) or (C), Section 2.11(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs, additional amounts or indemnifications or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement that requires the consent of each Lender or each directly and adversely affected Lender which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 12.12(a), the Borrower shall have the right, (I) to terminate the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date or (II) in accordance with Section 12.04 to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent’s consent would be required under Section 12.04); provided that:

(i) in the case of clause (II) above, at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumptions pursuant to Section 12.04 (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 12.04 to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Term Loan Commitments and outstanding Term Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Term Loans of the respective Replaced Lender; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.12 and, to the extent such Replaced Lender is being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.14 for failing to consent to an amendment to effect a Repricing Transaction without applying the Prepayment Fee that would otherwise have been payable, the Prepayment Fee that would have otherwise been payable to such Replaced Lender if such Replaced Lender had consented to effect such Repricing Transaction) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

(b) Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.14 and Section 12.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.11, 2.12, 4.04, 11.06, 12.01 and 12.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 2.14, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

Section 2.15 Incremental Term Loan Commitments.

(a) At any time and from time to time prior to the Latest Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may by prior notice to the Administrative Agent, request to add one or more new credit facilities denominated in Dollars and consisting of one or more additional tranches of term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Facility” and the term loans extended thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans”), provided that (i) immediately before and after giving effect to each Incremental Amendment and the applicable Incremental Term Facility, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and the representations and warranties in Article V shall be true and correct in all material respects; provided that to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Term Facility are intended to be applied to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, if agreed to by the Additional Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility, (x) the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representations and warranties qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of the applicable closing date for such Incremental Term Facility shall be (A) customary “specified representations” with respect to the applicable acquired company or business and (B) such of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the applicable acquired company or business in the applicable acquisition agreement as are material to the interests of the Additional Incremental Lenders, but only to the extent that Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such acquisition agreement or not consummate such acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement, and (y) the only condition with respect to absence of a Default or Event of Default shall be the absence of a Default or Event of Default at the time such acquisition agreement is entered into, (ii) the amount of Incremental Term Facilities and Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt as of such date shall not be greater than the Maximum Incremental Term Facilities Amount permitted to be incurred on such date, (iii) no Incremental Term Loans shall benefit from any Guarantees or Collateral that do not ratably benefit the Term Loans and (iv) in the event that the Yield for any Incremental Term Loans incurred in reliance on clause (b)(i) of the definition of Maximum Incremental Term Facilities Amount that are pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the then existing Term Loans is higher than the Yield for the Initial Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Margin for the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Yield for such Initial Term Loans is equal to the Yield for such Incremental Term Loans

minus 50 basis points (the “MFN Adjustment”); provided that the MFN Adjustment shall not be applicable to (w) any Incremental Term Loans that are incurred more than 12 months after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, (x) any Incremental Term Loans that have a maturity date more than one year after the then applicable Latest Maturity Date and (y) Incremental Term Loans that are incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investments. Each Incremental Term Facility shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000, provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Facilities set forth above.

(b) Each Incremental Term Facility (i) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and in respect of the Collateral with the Initial Term Loans or be unsecured (and if secured, subject to the applicable Other Intercreditor Agreement), (ii) for purposes of mandatory prepayments, shall be treated no more favorably than the Initial Term Loans, in the case of an Incremental Term Facility, in each case except those that only apply after the then existing Latest Maturity Date, (iii) except as otherwise required or permitted in this Section 2.15, shall have such terms, if not consistent with the terms of the Initial Term Loans, as shall be agreed by the Borrower and the Additional Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the then existing Term Loans (except to the extent relating to maturity, yield, use of proceeds or availability), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to the periods after the Latest Maturity Date of any then existing Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans) (it being understood to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Incremental Term Loans, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of any corresponding existing Term Loans); provided further that (A) no Incremental Term Facility shall have a final maturity date earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Term Loans and shall not amortize and (B) no Incremental Term Facility shall have a weighted average life that is shorter than the weighted average life of the then-remaining Initial Term Loans; provided, further, that (1) the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) shall not apply to up to $115,000,000 of Incremental Term Loans in the aggregate in the sole discretion of Borrower and (2) to the extent any Incremental Term Facility is not pari passu in right of payment and in respect of the Collateral with the Obligations, it shall (except in the case of any Incremental Term Facility that is incurred as a last-out tranche) be documented pursuant to documentation other than the Loan Documents.

(c) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Facility. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to provide Commitments under an Incremental Term Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to (i) the Borrower and, (ii) if Administrative Agent would have consent rights with respect to such new lender under Section 12.04 herein were such new lender to take an assignment of Loans hereunder, the Administrative Agent (such consent of the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld) (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Incremental Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrower, such Additional Incremental Lender (in the case of this Agreement and, as appropriate, any other Loan Document, as applicable) and (to the extent it affects the rights or increases the obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent). No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Commitments under an Incremental Term Facility, unless it so agrees (and any Lender that does

not respond shall be conclusively presumed not to agree to provide additional Commitments). Commitments in respect of any Incremental Term Facilities shall become Commitments under this Agreement. An Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section (including to provide for voting provisions applicable to the Additional Incremental Lenders comparable to the provisions of Section 12.12 or any changes to Section 2.04 necessary to ensure such Incremental Term Facilities are fungible with the existing Term Loan if such facility is intended to be of the same Class as the relevant existing Term Loan). The proceeds of any Loans under an Incremental Term Facility will be used, directly or indirectly, for working capital and/or general corporate purposes and/or any other purposes not prohibited hereunder (including, without limitation, Restricted Payments and acquisitions).

(d) This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.08 or 12.12 to the contrary.

Section 2.16 Loan Modification Offers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like maturity date in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans and offered on the same terms) to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Loan Modification Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Loan Modification Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate, premiums or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans)) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans as so extended, as well as the Initial Term Loans not so extended, being a separate Class; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity date, optional prepayment terms, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to the immediately succeeding clauses (ii) and (iii), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Loan Modification Offer), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have terms applicable prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date no more favorable in any material respect, taken as a whole, to the Extending Lender than the terms of the Class of Term Loans subject to such Loan Modification Offer,

(ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and at no time shall the Term Loans (including Extended Term Loans) have more than six different maturity dates,

(iii) the weighted average life of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life of the Term Loans extended thereby,

(iv) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Loan Modification Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Loan Modification Offer, then the Term Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Loan Modification Offer,

(v) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and

(vi) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 4.01 or 4.02 and (ii) no Loan Modification 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 consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Loan Modification Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Loan Modification Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment section) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16.

(c) No consent of any Lender or any Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (i) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans (or a portion thereof) and (ii) to the extent affecting the rights or increasing the obligations of the Administrative Agent beyond those of the type already required to perform under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, the Borrower will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any such Extensions. All Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and, to the extent applicable, the Collateral Agent, to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower and other Loan Parties as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes in respect of Term Loans 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, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.16. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the latest termination date of any Extended Term Loans so that such maturity date is extended to the latest termination date of any Extended Term Loans (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent). No Lender shall be required to participate in any Extension.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days and not more than 30 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16.

(e) This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.08 or 12.12 to the contrary and no conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension in accordance with this Section 2.16 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.17 Refinancing Amendments. At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain from any existing Lender or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower (any such existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Refinancing Lender”) Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under this Agreement in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans), in the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder and, with respect to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that is secured, will be subject to the applicable Other Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) have such pricing, interest, fees, premiums and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Additional Refinancing Lenders thereof, (iii) will not be secured by any assets that do not constitute Collateral and (iv) except as permitted in clause (ii), will otherwise have terms and conditions that are substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) to the Additional Refinancing Lenders thereof than those applicable to the applicable Refinanced Debt (other than covenants and other provisions applicable only to periods after the then-applicable Latest Maturity Date of the applicable Refinanced Debt). The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to such conditions as are mutually agreed with the participating Additional Refinancing Lenders. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (other than in connection with an extension of the maturity of Term Loans) incurred under this Section 2.17 shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000, provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness set forth above. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section and each Lender hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment. All Other Term Loans and Other Term Loan Commitments shall only be borrowed and/or guaranteed by Loan Parties. No Lender shall be required to provide any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness. This Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.08 or 12.12 to the contrary.

ARTICLE III

FEES; REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS

Section 3.01 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (including to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender party hereto on the Closing Date) such fees in the amounts and at the times specified as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Fee Letter or otherwise.

Section 3.02 Termination of Commitments. The Total Initial Term Loan Commitment (and the Initial Term Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Incurrence by the Borrower of Initial Term Loans on such date).

Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction (as applicable, the “Prepayment Fees”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be subject to the requirements of this Section 4.01(c) with respect to any Repricing Transaction occurring after the date that is six months after the ~~Sixth~~Seventh Amendment Effective Date.

(d) All voluntary prepayments of a Tranche of Term Loans in accordance with this Section 4.01 shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments of the respective Tranches of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower (or, if the Borrower has not made such designation, in direct order of maturity).

Amounts to be applied to a Tranche of Term Loans in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments with respect to such Tranche of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower (or, if the Borrower has not made such designation, in direct order of maturity). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any prepayment under Section 4.02(c), the Borrower may use a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 8.01(c) and any other senior Indebtedness in each case secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Obligations (the “Applicable Other Indebtedness”) to the extent required or permitted pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Applicable Other Indebtedness, in which case, the amount of the prepayment required to be offered with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.02(c) shall be deemed to be the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 4.02(c) and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Applicable Other Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 4.02(c).

(f) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (who will notify each Lender) notice of each prepayment required under this Section 4.02 not less than three Business Days prior to the date such prepayment is required to be made (each such date, a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”). Such notice shall set forth (i) the Mandatory Prepayment Date, (ii) the principal amount of each Term Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid and (iii) the Class and Type of each Term Loan being prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans of each Tranche being prepaid of the contents of the Borrower’s repayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the respective Tranche of Term Loans subject to such repayment. Each such Lender holding Term Loans under a Tranche may, except in the case of any repayment of Term Loans with proceeds of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 2.17, reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any mandatory repayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans of such Tranche required to be made pursuant to this Section 4.02 by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such repayment (“Initial Rejection Notice Deadline”). Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender holding Term Loans under a Tranche shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans of such

Tranche to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender holding Term Loans under a Tranche fails to deliver such Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans of such Tranche to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans of such Tranche to which such Lender is otherwise entitled. At the option of the Borrower, any Declined Proceeds with respect to a Tranche of Term Loans may be offered within 10 Business Days of the Initial Rejection Notice Deadline to the Lenders holding Term Loans of such Tranche not so declining such repayment on a pro rata basis in accordance with the principal amounts of the Term Loans under such Tranche of such Lenders (with such non-declining Lenders having the right to decline any repayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent). To the extent such non-declining Lenders elect to decline their pro rata share of such Declined Proceeds following an offer from the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any such Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter must be offered to the Second Lien Lenders on a pro rata basis (with such Second Lien Lenders having the right to decline any repayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Second Lien Administrative Agent). To the extent such Second Lien Lenders elect to decline their pro rata share of such Declined Proceeds following an offer from the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any such Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter (“Remaining Declined Proceeds”) shall increase the Available Amount.

(g) With respect to each repayment of Term Loans required by this Section 4.02, the Borrower may designate the Classes and Types of Term Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of SOFR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which such SOFR Loans were made, provided that: (i) unless the Borrower complies with the provisions of Section 2.12, repayments of SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all SOFR Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of SOFR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding SOFR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Term Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Borrower, the amount of any prepayment of Term Loans required under this Section 4.02 may be deposited in an escrow account on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and applied to the prepayment of SOFR Loans upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period; provided, further, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the written direction from the Required Lenders, shall, apply any or all of such amounts then on deposit in such escrow account to the payment of such Loans, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(h) Foreign Asset Dispositions and Excess Cash Flow. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.02, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from a Disposition or Recovery Event by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment requirement under Section 4.02(c) (a “Foreign Asset Sale”) or any amount included in Excess Cash Flow and attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law (including, without limitation, restrictions on financial assistance, corporate benefit, upstreaming of cash

intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of directors of the applicable Subsidiaries) from being repatriated to the United States, such portion of the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 4.02 but (x) first, shall be available to repay any local foreign Indebtedness and (y) second, may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law or applicable agreement will not permit repatriation to the United States (Holdings hereby agreeing to take and to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional costs, expenses or taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans as required pursuant to this Section 4.02 and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith (as certified to the Administrative Agent by an Authorized Officer) that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Asset Sale or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected (x) first, shall be available to repay any local foreign Indebtedness and (y) second, may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii) to the extent that within one year of the date on which such payment is required such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow ceases to result in a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional costs, expenses or taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans as required pursuant to this Section 4.02(h). For the avoidance, amounts not required to be prepaid as a result of this Section 4.02(h) shall not increase the Available Amount.

Section 4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

Section 4.04 Net Payments.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 4.04(a), all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder and under any Loan Document will be made free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaims, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes with respect to such payments, unless required by applicable law. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted, the Borrower or Guarantor, if applicable, agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such additional amounts to the recipient as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Loan Document will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Loan Document after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Indemnified Taxes (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.04(a)). As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes, but in no

event later than 45 days after the date of the payment of any Taxes, the Borrower or Guarantors, if applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent certified copies of the receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing such payment by the Borrower or Guarantor. The Borrower or Guarantors, if applicable, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and to reimburse such Person for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes so levied or imposed (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.04(a)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority and paid by such Person, within 10 days after written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and Guarantors shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) for any interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to Tax incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and the reasons therefor in reasonable detail (provided that such Lender shall not be required to disclose any price sensitive information, any confidential information or any information to the extent prohibited by law or regulation) delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower or Guarantor, if applicable, shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.04(c), each Lender and the Administrative Agent that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or in the case of the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower) on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, two accurate, complete and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each, a “Foreign Lender”) agrees, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or in the case of the Administrative Agent, to deliver to the Borrower) on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) two accurate, complete and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto;

(ii) two accurate, complete and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, certifying to such Person’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note;

(iii) two accurate, complete and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, or any subsequent versions thereof of successors thereto, and all required supporting documentation (including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E), Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner); or

(iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code: (A) two executed certificates providing that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code; or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, which certificates shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit I (any such certificate, a “Non-Bank Certificate”) and (B) two accurate, complete and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note.

In addition, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a change in circumstances renders the previous certification inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate, complete and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY, Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Non-Bank Certificate, or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, as the case may be (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), in order to confirm or establish its continued entitlement to a complete exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax or backup withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Term Note, or it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (if applicable) of its legal inability to deliver any such form or certificate.

(c) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Term Note, then such Lender and the Administrative Agent agree, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent upon request such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.

(d) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.04(d), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(e) If the Borrower or any Guarantor pays any additional amount or makes any indemnity payment under this Section 4.04 to a Lender or the Administrative Agent and such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received any refund of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or any Guarantor (a “Refund”), such Lender or the Administrative

Agent shall pay to the Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, such Refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.04 with respect to Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes giving rise to such Refund) net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) in respect of such Refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority); provided, however, that (i) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of a disallowance or reduction of any Refund with respect to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has made a payment to the Borrower or the Guarantor pursuant to this Section 4.04(e) (and any interest or penalties imposed thereon) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower or a Guarantor, as the case may be, is obligated to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.04 without any exclusions or defenses; (ii) nothing in this Section 4.04(e) shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower or the Guarantor (including, without limitation, its tax returns); (iii) no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04(e) at any time which an Event of Default exists (provided that such amounts shall be credited against amounts otherwise owed under this Agreement by the Borrower or a Guarantor); and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.04(e), in no event will the Lender or Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower or Guarantor the payment of which would place the Lender or Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender or Administrative Agent would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.

In the case of (i) the Capital Stock described in the Security Agreement that are securities represented by stock certificates or otherwise constituting certificated securities within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(15) of the New York UCC or the corresponding code or statute of any other applicable jurisdiction (“Certificated Securities”), when certificates representing such Capital Stock are delivered to the Collateral Agent along with instruments of transfer in blank or endorsed to the Collateral Agent, and (ii) the other Collateral described in clause (i) constituting personal property described in the Security Agreement, when financing statements and other filings, agreements and actions specified on Schedule 5.19(a) in appropriate form are executed and delivered, performed or filed in the offices specified on Schedule 5.19(a), as the case may be, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in all Collateral that may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document and the proceeds thereof (to the extent such Liens may be perfected by possession of the Certificated Securities by the Collateral Agent or such filings, agreements or other actions or perfection is otherwise required by the terms of any Loan Document), as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Liens permitted hereunder).

Neither Holdings nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will produce, process, manufacture, generate, use, treat, store, Release or dispose of, or permit the production, processing, manufacture, generation, use, treatment, storage, Release or disposal of Materials of Environmental Concern on any Real Property now or hereafter owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or transport of Materials of Environmental Concern to or from any such Real Property, except for such generation, use, treatment, storage, Release, disposal, or transport as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) (i) After the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any notice of the type described in Section 7.07(f), (ii) after 30 days have passed since receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender that the Administrative Agent or any Lender reasonably believes that Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries are not in compliance with Section 7.13(a) and such non-compliance has not been corrected, or (iii) in the event that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders have exercised any of the remedies pursuant to Article X, Holdings will (in each case) provide, at the sole expense of the Borrower and at the written request of the Administrative Agent, a Phase I environmental site assessment report concerning any such related Mortgaged Property, prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent indicating, where relevant, the presence or absence of Materials of Environmental Concern and the likely cost of any removal or remedial action in connection with such Materials of Environmental Concern on such Mortgaged Property. If the Borrower fails to provide the same within 45 days after such request was made, the Administrative Agent may order the same, the cost of which shall be borne by the Borrower, and the Borrower shall grant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective agents reasonable access to such related Mortgaged Property to undertake such an assessment at any reasonable time upon reasonable written notice to Holdings, all at the sole expense of the Borrower.

All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time periods required above and in Schedule 7.14, rather than as elsewhere provided in the Loan Documents), provided that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Closing Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.14 (and Schedule 7.14) and (y) all representations and warranties relating to the Security Documents shall be required to be true in all material respects immediately after the actions required to be taken by this Section 7.14 (and Schedule 7.14) have been taken (or were required to be taken).

The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 9.01, respectively, shall constitute a guarantee of payment (and not of collection) and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety by any Guarantor, as applicable (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall, in each case, remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

138

(d) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of any Lender or the Administrative Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(e) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.08, or otherwise.

Each of the Guarantors hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each of the Guarantors waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this guarantee made under this Article IX (this “Guarantee”) or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the applicable Lenders, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

Section 9.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IX shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

Section 9.04 No Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the Termination Date it shall subordinate any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 9.01, whether by subrogation, right of contribution or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 9.05 Remedies. Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article X (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article X) for purposes of Section 9.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower or any Guarantor and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable, or the circumstances occurring where Article X provides that such obligations shall become due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 9.01.

139

Section 9.06 Continuing Guarantee. The Guarantee made by the Guarantors in this Article IX is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 9.07 General Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any federal, state, provincial or territorial, corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 9.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 9.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability of such Guarantor shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 9.09) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding and would not constitute fraudulent conveyance.

The Guarantors confirm that it is the intention that this Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Debtor Relief Laws, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law to the extent applicable to the obligations set forth herein.

Section 9.08 Release of Subsidiary Guarantors and Pledges.

(a) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder in the event that (i) it shall become an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that no such release shall occur if a Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of such Person ceasing to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to the extent the primary purpose (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) of such event or result was to release such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents or (ii) upon the designation of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Immaterial Subsidiary. In addition, each Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder (including the Guaranteed Obligations) on the Termination Date. In connection with any such release of a Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements and other documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

(b) If (x) any voting Capital Stock issued by any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in clause (i) of the definition of “Excluded Foreign Subsidiary” is redeemed by such Excluded Foreign Subsidiary, (y) the Borrower provides written notice to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has determined in accordance with clause (i) of the definition of “Excluded Foreign Subsidiary” that a Subsidiary has become an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in such clause (i), or (z) the Borrower provides written notice to the Administrative Agent that a Foreign Subsidiary or a FSHCO has ceased to be an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in clause (i) of the definition of “Excluded Foreign Subsidiary” and has become an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of “Excluded Foreign Subsidiary”, then such shares of the relevant issuer shall be automatically and without

140

further action released from the security interests created by this Agreement so that the shares of voting Capital Stock of such Subsidiary subject to the security interests created by this Agreement shall not include more than 65% of the total outstanding voting Capital Stock of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in clause (i) of the definition of “Excluded Foreign Subsidiary” or at any time include any shares of Capital Stock of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary described in clause (ii) or clause (iii) of the definition of “Excluded Foreign Subsidiary” and any certificates representing such released Capital Stock shall be returned to the applicable grantor.

Section 9.09 Right of Contribution. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guarantee, the right of contribution of each Subsidiary Guarantor against each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Subsidiary Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations that, in the aggregate, exceed such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Subsidiary Guarantors (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made by all Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) on the date of such payment, in an amount equal to (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount paid by all Subsidiary Guarantors, multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9.04. The provisions of this Section 9.09 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder; provided, that no Subsidiary Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Termination Date, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution arising under this Section 9.09 against any other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guarantee. As used in this Section 9.09: (i) each Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Subsidiary Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Subsidiary Guarantors; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Subsidiary Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets on the date of any payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guarantee) on such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is released from this Guarantee pursuant to Section 9.08 hereof shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 9.09, and at the time of any such release, if the released Subsidiary Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Subsidiary Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of releases (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Subsidiary Guarantors.

141

Section 9.10 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.10, or otherwise under this Guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 9.10 constitute, and this Section 9.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 10.03 Application of Proceeds.

(a) Subject to any Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall upon any exercise of remedies hereunder or under any Security Document apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, together with all other moneys, in each case received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder (or, to the extent any Security Document executed by a Loan Party requires proceeds of collateral thereunder to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), including any Collateral consisting of cash, in the following order of priority:

145

(i) first, to all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents in its capacity as such in respect of (x) the preservation of Collateral or its security interest in the Collateral or (y) with respect to enforcing the rights of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents;

(ii) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), to all other amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents in its capacity as such;

(iii) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (ii), to an amount equal to the outstanding Obligations then due and payable (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, contingent indemnification or reimbursement obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) which shall be paid to the Secured Parties as provided in clause (d) below, with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Obligations, its pro rata share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and

(iv) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and following the payment in full of the Obligations and to the extent that the Second Lien Administrative Agent and the ABL Agent shall have notified the Administrative Agent that any and all obligations under the Second Lien Obligations and the ABL Obligations shall have been paid in full, to the relevant Loan Party, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct or as otherwise required by the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement or the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) If any payment to any Secured Party pursuant to this Section 10.03 of its pro rata share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Obligations of the other Secured Parties, with each Secured Party whose Obligations have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Obligations of such Secured Party and the denominator of which is the unpaid Obligations of all Secured Parties entitled to such distribution.

(c) Subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, all payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to Secured Parties (other than Secured Parties in respect of payments of Obligations under Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Obligations), to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Secured Parties, (y) if to Secured Parties in respect of payments of Obligations under Secured Swap Agreements, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Payee Representative”) for such Secured Parties or, in the absence of such a Payee Representative, directly to such Secured Parties and (z) if to the Secured Parties in respect of payments of Secured Cash Management Obligations, directly to such Secured Parties.

146

(d) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 10.03, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Payee Representative or, in the absence of such a Payee Representative, upon the applicable Secured Parties in respect of payments of Obligations under Secured Swap Agreements and (iii) the applicable Secured Parties in respect of payments of Secured Cash Management Obligations for a determination (which the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Obligations of the Loan Parties owed to the Secured Parties.

(e) Subject to the other limitations (if any) set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, it is understood that the Loan Parties shall remain liable (as and to the extent set forth in the Loan Documents) to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations of the Loan Parties.

(f) It is understood and agreed by each Loan Party and each Secured Party that the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 10.03 (including, without limitation, as to whether given Collateral constitutes Term Priority Collateral or ABL Priority Collateral). Each Loan Party and each Secured Party also agrees that the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), at any time and in its sole discretion, and with no liability resulting therefrom, petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any application of Collateral in accordance with the requirements hereof, of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to wait for, and may conclusively rely on, any such determination.

The Administrative Agent and any such subagent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document and each Joint Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its respective capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each Joint Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 11.06 and 12.01. Without limitation of the foregoing each Joint Lead Arranger shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

Section 11.03 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Term Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Holdings, the Borrower or a Lender.

Section 11.04 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

148

Section 11.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message (or other electronic communication), cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof), including without limitation in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and any Auction Manager appointed pursuant to this Agreement in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (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, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Section 11.07 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lender,” “Additional Incremental Lender”, “Additional Refinancing Lender”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

Section 11.08 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

149

Section 11.09 Resignation by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 10 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless an Event of Default under Section 10.01(f) then exists, the Borrower. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if a Significant Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided further that the Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any successor Administrative Agent if such successor is a commercial bank with a consolidated combined capital and surplus of at least $1 billion.

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 10 day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if a Significant Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any successor Administrative Agent if such successor is a commercial bank with a consolidated combined capital and surplus of at least $1 billion), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (b) above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th calendar day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (b) above; provided that in the case of any original Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such original Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed pursuant to this Section 11.09.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Article XI (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.10 Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into (x) the Security Documents, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Other Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, (y) any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to the Security Documents, the ABL/Term

150

Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Other Intercreditor Agreement in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party of Indebtedness pursuant to Sections 8.01(c) or (v), Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted under Section 8.02(b) or Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, as applicable, or to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by Sections 8.01(b) or (c), Section 8.02(b) or Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, as applicable) and (z) any Incremental Amendment as provided in Section 2.15, any Extension as provided in Section 2.16 and any Refinancing Amendment pursuant to Section 2.17). Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents and in the case of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Other Intercreditor Agreement or any other Intercreditor Agreement to take all actions (and execute all documents) required or deemed advisable by it in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any Collateral or Security Documents, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral and Security Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code,) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(b) Any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Holdings and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 8.04, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 12.12) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to, take any action reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence such release. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.10.

151

(c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 11.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders arising from such acts, if any, or for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 11.11 Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

Section 11.12 Withholding. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding Tax applicable to such payment. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without a deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any and all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, unless such amounts have been indemnified by the Borrower, any Guarantor or the relevant Lender.

Section 11.13 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

152

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to Rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such Rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 3.01(a) or Section 12.01) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 3.01(a) or Section 12.01.

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Section 3.01(a) or Section 12.01 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

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

Section 11.14 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 11.14 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,

153

shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), 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 (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) 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.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 11.14(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) 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 under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d)

154

(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable 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 recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

155

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 11.14 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, 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, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, no Loan Party nor any of their respective Affiliates (other than such Affiliates that are Affiliates of a Lender that are Payment Recipients) shall have any obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 11.14 in respect of any Erroneous Payment.

(D) immediately upon the effectiveness of each Auction Purchase or such Open Market Purchase, a Cancellation (it being understood that such Cancellation shall not, except in the manner set forth in Section 4.02(c), constitute a mandatory or a voluntary repayment of Term Loans for purposes of this Agreement) shall be automatically irrevocably effected with respect to all of the Term Loans and related Obligations subject to such Auction Purchase or such Open Market Purchase for no consideration, with the effect that such Term Loans and related Obligations shall for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents no longer be outstanding, and the Borrower and the Guarantors shall no longer have any Obligations relating thereto, it being understood that such forgiveness and cancellation shall result in the Borrower and the Guarantors being irrevocably and unconditionally released from all claims and liabilities relating to such Obligations which have been so cancelled and forgiven, and the Collateral shall cease to secure any such Obligations which have been so cancelled and forgiven;

With respect to all purchases of Loans pursuant to this Section 12.04, such purchases (and the payments made by the Purchaser and the Cancellation of the purchased Loans, in each case, in connection therewith) shall not be subject to any provisions hereunder that provides for the pro rata nature of payments to Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 12.04(a)(iii) shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.06 to the contrary, and the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager and the Lenders hereby consent to such Dutch Auctions, Open Market Purchases and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 12.04 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Dutch Auction or Open Market Purchase) and hereby (x) waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, any provision that provides for the pro rata nature of payments to Lenders) that may otherwise prohibit any Dutch Auction, Open Market Purchase or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 12.04 and (y) agrees that purchases of the Loans by any Purchaser contemplated under this Section 12.04 shall not constitute Investments by the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries.

(G) notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in the event that a Loan Party is the subject of a proceeding of the type described in Section 10.01(f) (such proceeding, a “Loan Party Insolvency”), each Restricted Affiliated Lender shall grant to the Administrative Agent a power of attorney, giving the Administrative Agent the right to vote each Restricted Affiliated Lender’s claims on all matters submitted to the Lenders for consent in respect of such Loan Party Insolvency, and the Administrative Agent shall approve such claims in the same proportion as the majority of Lenders (other than Restricted Affiliated Lenders) that voted on each matter submitted to such Lenders for approval; provided that (1) the foregoing shall not permit the Administrative Agent to consent to, or refrain from, giving approval in respect of a plan of reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of the Loan Party that is the subject of the Loan Party Insolvency (such plan of reorganization being a “Loan Party Plan of Reorganization”), if any Restricted Affiliated Lender would, as a consequence thereof, receive treatment under such Loan Party Plan of Reorganization that, on a ratable basis, would be inferior to that of the Lenders (other than such Restricted Affiliated Lenders) holding the same Tranche of Term Loans as the affected Restricted Affiliated Lender (such Lenders being, “Non-Restricted Persons”) and any such Loan Party Plan of Reorganization shall require the consent of such Restricted Affiliated Lender and (2) to the extent any Non-Restricted Person would receive superior treatment as part of any Loan Party Plan of Reorganization, as compared to any Restricted Affiliated Lender, pursuant to any investment made, or other action taken, by such Non-Restricted Person in accordance with such Loan Party Plan of Reorganization (but excluding the Term Facility), then such Restricted Affiliated Lender’s consent shall not be required, so long as such Restricted Affiliated Lender was afforded the opportunity to ratably participate in such investment or to take such action pursuant to the Loan Party Plan of Reorganization; and

Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to the first proviso of Section 12.12(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as the non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the commitment of, and the principal amounts (and interest) of, each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the IRS. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such

166

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.

(i) The Borrower agrees that (x) each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 (subject to the requirements of those sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(a) and (y) each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.04(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.04(b) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or 4.04 than the applicable participating Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such participating Lender to such Participant had no such participation occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Tax Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.02.

(c) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (but not to the Sponsor, the Borrower or any of Holdings’ or the Sponsor’s or the Borrower’s Affiliates) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto or provide the respective pledgee or assignee any voting rights with respect to the pledged or assigned obligations.

(d) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 12.04.

(e) Each Lender, upon succeeding to an interest in Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption that it is an Eligible Assignee.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for assignments or participations made to Disqualified Lenders or Affiliated Lenders (regardless of whether the consent of the Administrative Agent is required thereto), and none of the Borrower, any Lender nor any of their respective affiliates will bring any claim to such effect but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is a Disqualified Lender or (ii) have any liability with respect to any assignment of Term Loans to any Disqualified Lenders (other than for gross negligence or willful misconduct if the Borrower has not consented in writing to an assignment to a Disqualified Lender).

167

Section 12.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Loan Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 12.06 Payments Pro Rata.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata (or in accordance with the Security Documents, as applicable) based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Loan Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 12.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement which (i) require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and (ii) permit disproportionate payments with respect to the Loans as, and to the extent, provided herein.

Section 12.07 Calculations; Computations.

(a) All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein.

168

(b) If at any time any change in GAAP or in the application of GAAP would affect the computation of Excess Cash Flow or any financial ratio or financial term or definition set forth in any Loan Document and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders) such ratio or covenant to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in (or in the application of) GAAP; provided that, until so amended, (i) Excess Cash Flow and such ratio shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of Excess Cash Flow or such ratio or financial covenant made before and after giving effect to such change in (or in the application of) GAAP as is reasonably necessary to demonstrate the calculation of Excess Cash Flow and compliance (or non-compliance) with such ratio.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) other than with respect to the delivery if financial statements pursuant to Sections 7.01(a), (b) and (c), (x) the consolidation of the accounts of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not include the consolidation of the accounts of any Unrestricted Subsidiary and (y) all financial calculations, definitions and computations shall made without the inclusion of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, for such purposes deeming any Unrestricted Subsidiary as not existing at the time any determination is made with respect to such financial calculation, definition or computation, (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared, and the Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC 825 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof or the application of FAS 133, FAS 150 or FAS 123r (to the extent that the pronouncements in FAS 123r result in recording an equity award as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in the circumstance where, but for the application of the pronouncements, such award would have been classified as equity) and (iii) with respect to any period during which the Transactions or any Specified Transaction occurs, the calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio, Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio, First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Total Assets or for any other purpose hereunder, with respect to such period shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any changes in GAAP after the Closing Date that would require lease obligations that would be treated as operating leases as of the Closing Date to be classified and accounted for as Capital Lease Obligations or otherwise reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, such obligations shall continue to be excluded from the definition of Indebtedness and Capital Lease Obligations.

(d) All computations of interest and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to the Prime Lending Rate which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable.

Section 12.12 Amendment or Waiver; etc.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that only the consent of the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of all the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby) and of the Borrower shall be required to do any of the following:

(i) increase or extend the Commitment of such Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 10.02(a)) (it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

(ii) postpone or delay any date fixed for, or reduce or waive, any scheduled installment of principal or any payment of interest (other than default interest), fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document, it being understood that the amendment or waiver of any mandatory prepayment of any Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal, interest or fees (for the avoidance of doubt, mandatory prepayments may be postponed, delayed, reduced, waived or modified with the consent of Required Lenders);

(iii) reduce the principal of, or (except as set forth in Section 2.11(f)) the rate of interest specified herein (it being agreed that waiver or reduction of the default interest margin shall only require the consent of Required Lenders) or the amount of interest payable in cash specified herein on any Loan, or of any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder;

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, all Lenders shall be deemed directly and adversely affected thereby with respect to any amendment, waiver or consent described in clauses (v) and (vi) above.

(b) No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Required Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby, as the case may be (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, as the case may be), affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.12, (i) Administrative Agent may amend Schedule I to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 12.04, and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend or modify this Agreement and any other Loan Document to grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties, extend an existing Lien over additional property for the benefit of the Secured Parties or join additional Persons as Loan Parties.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement or to increase the amount of the existing facilities under this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, (ii) to permit any such additional credit facility which is a term loan facility or any such increase in the Term Facility to share ratably in prepayments with the Term Loans and (iii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.12, (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agreeing to make Incremental Term Loans (or extend Commitments with respect thereto) may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15, enter into an Incremental Amendment without the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that after the execution and delivery by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender of such Incremental Amendment, such Incremental Amendment may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of Section 12.12(a), (b) or (c), respectively, (ii) only the parties specified in Section 2.17 shall be required to effectuate a Refinancing Amendment, and (iii) only parties specified in Section 2.16 shall be required to effectuate an Extension.

172

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.12, (x) Security Documents (including any Additional Security Documents) and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Person if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such Security Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (y) if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and any Loan Party shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may amend an Intercreditor Agreement (or enter into a replacement thereof), additional Security Documents and/or replacement Security Documents (including a collateral trust agreement) in connection with the incurrence of (a) any Indebtedness permitted under Section 8.01 to provide that a Representative acting on behalf of the holders of such Indebtedness shall become a party thereto and shall have rights to share in the Collateral on a pari passu basis (but without regard to the control of remedies) with the Obligations and (b) any Indebtedness permitted under Section 8.01 to provide that a Representative acting on behalf of the holders of such Indebtedness shall become a party thereto and shall have rights to share in the Collateral on a junior lien, subordinated basis to the Obligations and the obligations in respect of any Indebtedness described in clause (a) above.

(h) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 12.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described below, to (i) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the Borrower, if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Tranches of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14 or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.12, if at any time after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error (including, but not limited to, an incorrect cross-reference) or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any exhibit, schedule or other attachment to any Loan Document), then the Administrative Agent (acting in

173

its sole discretion) and the Borrower or any other relevant Loan Party shall be permitted to amend such provision. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such amendment and such amendment shall become effective five (5) Business Days after such notification unless the Required Lenders object to such amendment in writing delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to such time.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.12, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made in accordance with Section 2.09(g) and Section 2.11(f).

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any determination as to whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, any Lender (other than any Lender that is a Regulated Bank or any Joint Lead Arranger or their respective Affiliates) that, as a result of its interest in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments (each, a “Net Short Lender”) shall have no right to vote any of its Loans and Commitments and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders. For purposes of determining whether a Lender has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to the Loans and Commitments and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount thereof in Dollars, (ii) notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the dollar equivalent thereof by such Lender in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties or any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender or its Affiliates and (y) the Borrower and other Loan Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such Lender is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the Loans or the Commitments are a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the Loans or the Commitments would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or (z) any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties (or its successor) is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transactions, and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such transactions are functionally equivalent to a transaction that offers the

174

Lender protection in respect of the Loans or the Commitments, or as to the credit quality of any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties other than, in each case, as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) the Borrower and other Loan Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index. In connection with any such determination, each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing that it is a Net Short Lender, or shall otherwise be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation).

Section 12.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.11, 2.12, 4.04, 11.06, 11.12 and 12.01 and the representations and warranties set forth in Article V of this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes, or the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the making, repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of the Obligations.

Section 12.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 12.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.11, 2.12 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes in any applicable law, treaty, government rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the official interpretation thereof, after the date of the respective transfer).

Section 12.15 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its non-fiduciary agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record from time to time the name and address of each Lender, the Commitments, the principal amounts of the Loans and any other obligations under the Loan Documents, and the amounts of interest due thereon, owing to each Lender pursuant the terms hereof and any Note. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loans and any other obligations under the Loan Documents owing to such Lender shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments, Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 12.04. Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assignee or transferee Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims,

175

damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.15 to the same extent that the Administrative Agent is otherwise indemnified pursuant to Section 12.01.

Section 12.16 Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 12.16, each Lender agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of Holdings (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors, agents, service providers, representatives or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 12.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority (including, without limitation, any self-regulatory authority) having jurisdiction over such Lender or any of their affiliates (in which case the Lenders agree, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform you promptly thereof prior to disclosure (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority (including, without limitation, any self-regulatory authority) or in cases where any governmental and/or regulatory authority had requested otherwise)), (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.16, (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee, pledgee or assignee under Section 12.04(c) or Participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 12.16, (viii) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with any rating of the Loan Parties or the Term Facility, (ix) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans and (x) in connection with the exercise of remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In addition, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

Section 12.17 Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Holdings, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 12.18 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 12.19 Secured Swap Agreement and Secured Cash Management Agreements. At any time prior to or within 30 days after any Loan Party enters into any Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, if the applicable Loan Party and counterparty desire that the monetary obligations in respect of such Swap Agreement or the Cash Management Obligations in respect of such Cash Management Agreement be treated as an “Obligation” hereunder with rights in respect of payment of proceeds of the Collateral in accordance with the waterfall provisions set forth in the applicable Security Documents, the Borrower and the counterparty to such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, may notify the Administrative Agent in writing (to be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent (provided that the failure to provide such acknowledgement shall not affect the treatment of such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement as a “Secured Swap Agreement” or “Secured Cash Management Agreement”, as applicable)) that (x) such Swap Agreement is to be a “Secured Swap Agreement” (a “Secured Swap Agreement”) or (y) such Cash Management Agreement is to be a “Secured Cash Management Agreement” (a “Secured Cash Management Agreement”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) in the case of a Swap Agreement, such Swap Agreement is entered into with a Qualified Counterparty; and

(ii) in the case of Cash Management Agreements, such Cash Management Agreement is with a counterparty that is the Administrative Agent, a Joint Lead Arranger or a Lender or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, a Joint Lead Arranger or a Lender.

177

Until such time as the Borrower and the counterparty to such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, deliver (and the Administrative Agent acknowledges (provided that the failure to provide such acknowledgement shall not affect the treatment of such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement as a “Secured Swap Agreement” or “Secured Cash Management Agreement”, as applicable)) such notice as described above, such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement shall not constitute a Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be. The parties hereto understand and agree that the provisions of this Section 12.19 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, which become parties to Secured Swap Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements, as applicable, and agree that any amendments or modifications to the provisions of this Section 12.19 shall not be effective with respect to any Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, entered into prior to the date of the respective amendment or modification of this Section 12.19 (without the written consent of the relevant parties thereto). The Administrative Agent accepts no responsibility and shall have no liability for the calculation of the exposure owing by the Loan Parties under any such Secured Swap Agreement and/or Secured Cash Management Agreement, and shall be entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable notice provided by the Borrower and the applicable counterparty to such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement as set forth above. No Secured Party that obtains the benefits of the Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

Section 12.20 Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 12.20 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

178

CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE ABL/TERM INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR THE FIRST LIEN/SECOND LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE ABL/TERM INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR THE FIRST LIEN/SECOND LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.21 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF (A) THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT, (B) THE FIRST LIEN/SECOND LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR (C) ANY OTHER INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL BE IN THE FORM APPROVED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PERMITTED BY THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE ABL/TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FIRST LIEN/SECOND LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR SUCH OTHER INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF.

Section 12.22 Press Releases.

(a) Each Secured Party (other than the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates) agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless (and only to the extent that) such Secured Party or Affiliate is required to do so under applicable law and then, in any event, to the extent reasonably possible under applicable law, such Secured Party or Affiliate will consult with the Administrative Agent before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.

179

Section 12.23 No Fiduciary Duty.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Loan Party 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, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree 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, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its 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, its stockholders or its 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 is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal 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. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to Bail-In Action by the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

Section 12.26 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

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