SECTION 12. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

CREDIT AGREEMENT This CREDIT AGREEMENT is dated as of October 10, 2024, and is entered into by and among Distinguished LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (in its individual capacity, “Distinguished”), as borrower (“Borrower”), Phoenix Merger Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), the other persons designated as “Credit Parties” on the signature pages hereof, the financial institutions, funds and other investors who are or hereafter become parties to this Agreement as Lenders, and BMO Bank N.A., a national banking association (in its individual capacity, “BMO”), as Agent. R E C I T A L S: WHEREAS, Borrower desires that the Lenders extend a term loan facility, a delayed draw term loan facility, and a revolving credit facility (including a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub facility) to Borrower to fund the Refinancing, to finance capital expenditures and the purchase price of future Permitted Acquisitions, to provide working capital financing for Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and to provide funds for other general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries; WHEREAS, Borrower desires to secure all of its Obligations under the Loan Documents and all other Guaranteed Obligations by granting to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of its assets; WHEREAS, Holdings directly owns all of the Stock of Borrower and is willing to guarantee all of the Guaranteed Obligations and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, to pledge to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all of the Stock of Borrower and to grant Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in and lien upon all of its assets (other than any such assets constituting Excluded Assets), in each case, to secure the Guaranteed Obligations; WHEREAS, each of the other Domestic Subsidiaries of Borrower (other than any such Subsidiaries constituting Excluded Subsidiaries) is willing to guarantee all of the Guaranteed Obligations and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, to pledge to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all of the Stock of their respective Subsidiaries (other than any such Stock constituting Excluded Assets) and to grant to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in and lien upon all of its assets (other than any such assets constituting Excluded Assets), in each case, to secure the Guaranteed Obligations; and WHEREAS, all capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A hereto which is incorporated herein by reference. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, Borrower, the other Credit Parties, Lenders and Agent agree as follows: SECTION 1. AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF LOANS 1.1 Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower and the other Credit Parties contained herein: (a) Term Loan. Each Term Loan Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to lend to Borrower in one draw, on the Closing Date, pursuant to a written notice from Borrower in the [[7932149]]

form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(a)(ii) (a “Notice of Initial Term Loan Advance”), its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Term Loan Commitment of all Term Loan Lenders, the original principal amount of which is equal to $91,000,000 (the “Term Loan”). Borrower agrees to pay the principal amount of the Term Loan in installments (each a “Term Loan Scheduled Installment”) (a) commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending December 31, 2024, and on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter thereafter, in a quarterly amount equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the Term Loan (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to account for the application of any prepayment), and (b) on the Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the remainder of the principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding on such date. Amounts borrowed under this Section 1.1(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Payments of principal of the Term Loan shall reduce the Term Loan in the amount of any such payment. The Term Loan may be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(a)(i) (each a “Term Note” and, collectively, the “Term Notes”), and Borrower shall execute and deliver each Term Note to the applicable Term Loan Lender, upon such Term Loan Lender’s request. Each Term Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan, together with interest thereon. (b) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make available to Borrower from time to time until the Commitment Termination Date its Pro Rata Share of advances (each a “Revolving Credit Advance”) requested by Borrower hereunder; provided that the aggregate principal balance of all Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans, and the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Participation Liability, outstanding on the Closing Date shall not exceed $1,500,000. All Revolving Credit Advances must be in a minimum amount of $100,000. The Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan of any Revolving Lender, together with its Pro Rata Share of risk participations in Swing Line Loans and of Letter of Credit Participation Liability, shall not at any time exceed its separate Revolving Loan Commitment. Revolving Credit Advances may be repaid and reborrowed; provided, that, with respect to any requested Revolving Credit Advance, (x) the amount of such requested Revolving Credit Advance, when taken together with the principal balance of all Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans then outstanding, and the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Participation Liability, does not exceed the Maximum Amount then in effect and (y) each of the other conditions precedent in Section 7.2 hereof is satisfied. All Revolving Credit Advances shall be repaid in full on the Commitment Termination Date. Borrower shall execute and deliver to the applicable Revolving Lender, upon such Revolving ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s request, a note to evidence the Revolving Loan Commitment of that Revolving Lender. (i) Each such note shall be in the principal amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of the applicable Revolving Lender and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(b)(i) (each a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”). (ii) Revolving Credit Advances which are (x) Base Rate Loans may be requested with one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to Agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(b)(ii) (a “Notice of Revolving Credit Advance”) prior to 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion) or (y) SOFR Loans may be requested with three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Agent in the form of a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance prior to 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion); provided that any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance given in connection with any Revolving Credit Advance on the Closing Date (including any Revolving Credit Advances designated as SOFR Loans) may be given not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) one 2 [[7932149]]

(1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion). (c) Funding Authorization. Following receipt of a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance, Notice of Initial Term Loan Advance, or Delayed Draw Term Loan Notice, as applicable, Agent shall notify each Lender of its pro rata share of each requested Loan. Each Lender shall send its pro rata share of the requested Loan to Agent’s account in immediately available funds no later than 12:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of the requested borrowing. The proceeds of all Loans made pursuant to this Agreement subsequent to the Closing Date are to be funded by Agent by wire transfer to such account of Borrower designated by Borrower by written notice to Agent from time to time (the “Disbursement Account”). Borrower shall provide Agent with written notice of any change in the Disbursement Account then in effect at least three (3) Business Days before the desired effective date of such change (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion). (d) Letters of Credit. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties herein set forth, the Revolving Loan Commitment may, in addition to Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans, be utilized, upon the request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, for the issuance of letters of credit by, or arranged by, the L/C Issuer (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit”). The Stated Amount with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding at any time shall not exceed $4,000,000 in the aggregate. Further, after giving effect to each such issuance, the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Participation Liability taken together with the principal balance of all Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans then outstanding, shall not exceed the Maximum Amount. (ii) Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, to reimburse Agent and the L/C Issuer promptly for any amounts paid by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit. Without duplication of any interest, penalty or fees payable to the L/C Issuer under any applicable letter of credit application documentation between L/C Issuer and Borrower as a result of unreimbursed drawings, all amounts paid by the L/C Issuer with respect to any Letter of Credit that are not promptly repaid by Borrower with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Advance or otherwise shall bear interest at the interest rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Advances, calculated using the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin then in effect for Base Rate Loans. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Revolving Lenders, at Agent’s option, to make a Revolving Credit Advance in the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer with respect to any Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Credit Advance made pursuant to this paragraph and, if no such Revolving Credit Advances are made, each Revolving Lender agrees to purchase, and shall be deemed to have purchased on the date on which it pays to Agent its ratable portion of any payments made by the L/C Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its ratable share of such Letter of Credit based upon the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect (or which were in effect at the time the Revolving Loan Commitments terminated) and each Revolving Lender agrees to pay to Agent promptly such share of any payments made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit. The obligations of each Revolving Lender under the preceding two (2) sentences shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the 3 [[7932149]]

occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 7.2 hereof. (iii) [Reserved]. (iv) The expiration date of each Letter of Credit shall be on a date which is the earlier of (a) one (1) year from its date of issuance (provided, however, subject to the following clause (b), that any Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding one (1) year may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one (1) year as long as the applicable Borrower and the L/C Issuer each have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period), and (b) the fifteenth (15th) Business Day before the Commitment Termination Date; provided at the election of Agent and the L/C Issuer, Borrower may request that the L/C Issuer issue Letters of Credit with expiration dates extending beyond the fifteenth (15th) Business Day before the Commitment Termination Date (or that the L/C Issuer permits an automatic extension of any Letter of Credit to a date beyond the fifteenth (15th) Business Day before the Commitment Termination Date), in each case subject to the delivery to Agent by Borrower of cash collateral (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Agent, including provisions that specify that the Letter of Credit Participation Fee and all usage and other charges set forth in this Agreement will continue to accrue while such Letter of Credit is outstanding) to be held by Agent, for the benefit of those Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment, in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, and in any event, such cash collateral shall be deposited no later than 30 days prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day before the Commitment Termination Date. (v) Borrower shall give Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or such later notice acceptable to Agent and the L/C Issuer in their sole discretion) specifying the date a Letter of Credit is to be issued, identifying the beneficiary and describing the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby, and concurrently therewith deliver a completed letter of credit application as may be requested by the L/C Issuer. The application shall be accompanied by the drawing terms for the Letter of Credit or form of each letter of credit signed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as applicant and account party. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of any letter of credit application and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that there is a Non-Funding Lender having any portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment, the L/C Issuer shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit, or increase the face amount of or extend any Letter of Credit, unless the L/C Issuer and Agent have entered into arrangements satisfactory to them with respect to the participation in the Letter of Credit by such Non-Funding Lender, which arrangement may include a requirement that Borrower provide cash collateral to Agent to hold on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and Agent, in an amount equal to such Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any Letter of Credit. 4 [[7932149]]

(e) Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make loans in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this subsection (e) in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day until the Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding $4,000,000, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Participation Liability of the Revolving Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, together with its Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Participation Liability and its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans at any time, shall not at any time exceed its separate Revolving Loan Commitment, and provided, further, that Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the discretion of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Line Loans, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under this subsection (e), prepay under Section 1.5(a), and reborrow under this subsection (e). Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest until maturity at a rate per annum equal to, at Borrower’s option, either (i) the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans as from time to time in effect or (ii) the Swing Line Lender’s Quoted Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed). Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. (ii) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the requested borrowing date (or such later time on such date acceptable to Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion), and shall specify (A) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof, and (B) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by an authorized officer of Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will (1) deliver notice to Borrower and Agent as to whether it will or will not make such Swing Line Loan available to Borrower and, if agreeing to make such Swing Line Loan, (2) in its discretion quote an interest rate to Borrower at which the Swing Line Lender would be willing to make such Swing Line Loan available to Borrower (the rate so quoted being herein referred to as “Swing Line Lender’s Quoted Rate”) and (3) confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of the 5 [[7932149]]

proposed Swing Line Borrowing (a) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of subsection (e)(i), or (b) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.2 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Borrower at its office by crediting the Disbursement Account in immediately available funds. (iii) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (A) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, may request, on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (which hereby irrevocably authorize the Swing Line Lender to so request on their behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Revolving Credit Advance constituting a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of this subsection (e) without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances and Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Maximum Amount and the conditions set forth in Section 7.2. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable Notice of Revolving Credit Advance promptly after delivering such notice to Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit Advance available to Agent in immediately available funds (and Agent may apply cash collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at Agent’s office not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the day specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit Advance, whereupon, subject to Section 1.1(e)(iii)(B), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Advance constituting a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. (B) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Advance in accordance with Section 1.1(e)(iii)(A), the request for such Revolving Credit Advance submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 1.1(e)(iii)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. (C) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.1(e)(iii) by the time specified in Section 1.1(e)(iii)(A), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such 6 [[7932149]]

payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (C) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (D) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this subsection (e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (3) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest, as provided herein. (iv) Repayment of Participations. At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. (v) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Pro Rata Share of Revolving Credit Advances or risk participation pursuant to this subsection (e) to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. (vi) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. (vii) Auto Borrow Arrangement. In order to facilitate the borrowing of Swing Line Loans, Borrower and the Swing Line Lender may mutually agree to, and are hereby authorized to, enter into an auto borrowing agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender and Agent (the “Auto Borrow Agreement”) providing for the automatic advance by the Swing Line Lender of Swing Line Loans under the conditions set forth in the Auto Borrow Agreement, subject to the conditions set forth herein. At any time an Auto Borrow Agreement is in effect, advances under the Auto Borrow Agreement shall be deemed Swing Line Loans for all purposes hereof, except that Borrowings of Swing Line Loans under the Auto Borrow Agreement shall be made in accordance with the Auto Borrow Agreement. 7 [[7932149]]

(f) Delayed Draw Term Loan. (i) Subject to the satisfaction of each of the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Funding Conditions, on any Business Day prior to the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date that is specified in a written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(f)(i) (a “Delayed Draw Term Loan Notice”) delivered by Borrower to Agent at least three (3) (but no more than twenty (20)) Business Days (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to such date, each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Delayed Draw Term Loan to Borrower in an original principal amount equal to such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment multiplied by the amount of Delayed Draw Term Loan requested in such Delayed Draw Term Loan Notice but in any event not in excess of such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment then in effect; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower shall only be permitted to request a Delayed Draw Term Loan once per Fiscal Quarter if any of the proceeds of such requested Delayed Draw Term Loan are to be used in connection with the consummation of a Team Lift Out and/or financing any losses from Team Lift Outs (including any upfront purchase price incurred in connection therewith) (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing Cap”), and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Notice for such request shall be accompanied by a Compliance and Excess Cash Flow Certificate calculated on a pro forma basis, as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 4.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be required to be requested in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less at such time, the remaining applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment). Each Delayed Draw Term Loan made by any Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender to Borrower shall result in an immediate and permanent reduction of such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan so made. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall, if not earlier terminated in accordance with the foregoing, terminate in its entirety on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. (ii) The outstanding principal amount of each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be repaid, beginning on the last day of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Delayed Draw Term Loan was made and on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter thereafter, in an amount on each such date equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to account for the application of any prepayment), with the remaining principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan then outstanding due and payable in full on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Maturity Date (each, a “Delayed Draw Term Loan Scheduled Installment”). (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (ii), the entire unpaid balance of each Delayed Draw Term Loan and all other Delayed Draw Term Loan Obligations shall be due and payable in full by Borrower on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Maturity Date, in each case, if not sooner paid in fully in accordance with the terms of the Loan 8 [[7932149]]

Documents (without limiting such Person’s obligation to timely make all payments required under the terms of the Loan Documents). (iv) If requested by a Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, the Delayed Draw Term Loans may be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(f)(iv) (each a “Delayed Draw Term Note” and, collectively, the “Delayed Draw Term Notes”). (g) First Amendment Term Loan. (i) On the terms set forth herein and in the First Amendment and subject to the conditions set forth in the First Amendment, each First Amendment Term Loan Lender agreed, severally and not jointly, to make a First Amendment Term Loan to Borrower on the First Amendment Funding Date in a principal amount not to exceed its First Amendment Term Loan Commitment. (ii) The outstanding principal amount of the First Amendment Term Loan shall be repaid, beginning on the last day of the first full Fiscal Quarter after the First Amendment Funding Date and on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter thereafter, in an amount on each such date equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the First Amendment Term Loan (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to account for the application of any prepayment), with the remaining principal amount of the First Amendment Term Loan then outstanding due and payable in full on the First Amendment Term Loan Maturity Date (each, a “First Amendment Term Loan Scheduled Installment”). Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the First Amendment Term Loan may not be reborrowed. (iii) The First Amendment Term Loan may be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(g)(iii) (each, a “First Amendment Term Note” and, collectively, the “First Amendment Term Notes”), and Borrower shall execute and deliver each First Amendment Term Note to the applicable First Amendment Term Loan Lender, upon such First Amendment Term Loan Lender’s request. Each First Amendment Term Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable First Amendment Term Loan Lender’s First Amendment Term Loan, together with interest thereon. 1.2 Interest and Applicable Margins. (a) Borrower shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, in accordance with the various Loans being made by each Lender, in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolving Credit Advances which are designated as Base Rate Loans (and for all other Obligations not otherwise set forth below), the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin per annum for Base Rate Loans, (ii) with respect to Revolving Credit Advances which are designated as SOFR Loans, Term SOFR applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin per annum for SOFR Loans, (iii) with respect to such portion of the Term Loan designated as a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin per annum for Base Rate Loans, (iv) with respect to such portion of the Term Loan designated as a SOFR Loan, Term SOFR applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin per annum for SOFR Loans, (v) with respect to such portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loan designated as a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin per annum for Base Rate Loans, (vi) with respect to such portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loan designated as a 9 [[7932149]]

SOFR Loan, Term SOFR applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin per annum for SOFR Loans, and (vii) with respect to such portion of the First Amendment Term Loan designated as a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin per annum for Base Rate Loans, (viii) with respect to such portion of the First Amendment Term Loan designated as a SOFR Loan, Term SOFR applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin per annum for SOFR Loans and (ix) with respect to each Swing Line Loan, in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1(e)(i). (b) [Reserved]. (c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis (other than Agent’s fee and certain other fees, in each case, set forth in the Fee Letter, which shall be paid in accordance with the terms thereof) and interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, (or, solely for purposes of computing interest with respect to Base Rate Loans, a three hundred sixty five/three hundred sixty six (365/366) day year) in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such Fees and interest are payable. The Base Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto, absent demonstrable error. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Agent will have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR. (d) Automatically upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default arising under Section 6.1(a), 6.1(f) or 6.1(g), the Applicable Margin applicable to the Loans shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest otherwise applicable hereunder (the aggregate increased interest rate, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations; provided, Obligations that do not otherwise accrue interest, but for the implementation of the Default Rate, shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to the Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date the Default Rate is imposed hereunder (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date such Event of Default first occurred) until the Event of Default resulting in the imposition of the Default Rate is cured or waived in writing in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be payable upon demand, but in any event, shall be payable on the next regularly scheduled payment date set forth herein for such Obligation. (e) Borrower shall have the option to (i) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans from Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, (ii) convert any SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan, or (iii) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a SOFR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period and the succeeding Interest Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the last day of the Interest Period of the Loan to be continued. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice delivered to Agent (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 1.2(e) in the case of a conversion or continuation of a SOFR loan, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to the beginning of the applicable Interest Period and in the case of a conversion to Base Rate Loan, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) one (1) Business Day (or such shorter period of time as 10 [[7932149]]

Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to the beginning of the applicable Interest Period. No Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a SOFR Loan, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent or the Requisite Lenders have determined not to make or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan as a result thereof. Unless a Notice of Conversion/Continuation has been timely provided to Agent in respect of any existing SOFR Loan requesting that all or any portion of such SOFR Loan be converted into a Base Rate Loan, such SOFR Loan shall automatically be converted into a Base Rate Loan effective as of the expiration of the then applicable Interest Period. There shall be no more than ten (10) SOFR Loans outstanding at any time. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.2, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 1.2(a) through (d), unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.2(f), a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine by a final, non-appealable order that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess as specified in Section 1.5(f) and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as such court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order. (g) The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (i) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to Borrower. The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Benchmark or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or 11 [[7932149]]

in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. 1.3 Fees. (a) Fee Letter. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the Fees specified in that certain fee letter dated as of the Closing Date between Borrower and Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Fee Letter”), at the times specified for payment therein. (b) Unused Line Fee. (i) As additional compensation for the Revolving Lenders, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of such Revolving Lenders, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter prior to the Commitment Termination Date and on the Commitment Termination Date, a fee for Borrower’s non-use of available funds (the “Unused Line Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum multiplied by the difference between (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment (as it may be reduced from time to time) and (y) the sum of (1) the average for the period of the daily closing balances of the Revolving Loans outstanding during the period for which such Fee is due and (2) the average for the period of the daily Letter of Credit Participation Liability during the period for which such fee is due. For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding principal amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be counted for purposes of determining the Unused Line Fee. (ii) As additional compensation for the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter prior to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date and on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, a fee for Borrower’s non-use of available funds (the “Delayed Draw Unused Line Fee”) in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum of the average daily Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any such Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment that had previously been funded as Delayed Draw Term Loans) during the period for which such Fee is due. (c) Letter of Credit Participation Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders, fees for each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Participation Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily amount of aggregate Stated Amount multiplied by the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans; provided, however, without duplication of Section 1.2(d) above, at any time that the Default Rate has been imposed in accordance with Section 1.2(d), such percent shall be increased by two percent (2.0%) per annum (the “Letter of Credit Default Rate”). Letter of Credit Participation Fees at the Letter of Credit Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date the Letter of Credit Default Rate is imposed hereunder until the Event of Default resulting in the imposition of the Letter of Credit Default Rate is cured or waived in writing in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be payable upon demand, but in any event, shall be payable on the next regularly scheduled payment date set forth herein for Letter of Credit Participation Fees. The Letter of Credit Participation Fee is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter (and also on the date upon which the respective Letter of Credit expires or is terminated). In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay to L/C Issuer, for its own account, (i) such fees and expenses as 12 [[7932149]]

the L/C Issuer customarily requires (or, as the case may be, is required to pay to the issuer of the letter of credit) in connection with the issuance, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of credit in similar situations and (ii) a letter of credit fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance or renewal (automatic or otherwise) thereof or upon any amendment increasing the amount thereof. It is understood and agreed that so long as the maximum outstanding Stated Amount with respect to all Letters of Credit is $0, no fees, including Letter of Credit Participation Fees and fronting or other similar fees, or any other amounts in respect thereof shall accrue or be payable by Borrower hereunder. (d) [Reserved]. (e) Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Except with respect to Taxes which are governed by Section 1.9, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to promptly pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses (but limited to one primary counsel for Agent and Arranger, taken as a whole, and, if deemed reasonably necessary by Agent, one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction where a Credit Party is located) and limited, in the case of other third party consultants, to those engaged with the prior written consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) incurred by Agent and Arranger in connection with the initial preparation of the Loan Documents and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, including in connection with the due diligence investigation, documentation, negotiation, closing and syndication of the transactions contemplated herein and obtaining and maintaining no more than two credit ratings or estimates per calendar year in respect of the Loans from ratings agencies, whether obtained prior to or subsequent to the Closing Date. Borrower agrees to promptly pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses (but limited to one primary counsel for Agent and the Lenders (except in the case of a conflict of interest between the Lenders, in which case, one additional counsel for each Lender similarly situated in respect of such conflict of interest), taken as a whole), and, if deemed reasonably necessary by Agent, one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction where a Credit Party is located and limited, in the case of other third party consultants, to those engaged with the prior written consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) incurred by Agent and the Lenders in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the Loan Documents, Event of Default, work-out or action to enforce any Loan Document or to collect any payments due from Borrower or any other Credit Party and in connection with the continued administration of the Loan Documents, including in connection with any inspection right(s), and with any amendments, modifications, consents and waivers thereto. All fees, charges, costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under this Section 1.3(e) shall be deemed part of the Obligations when incurred, payable in accordance with the final sentence of Section 1.4 and secured by the Collateral. 1.4 Payments. All payments by the Credit Parties of the Obligations shall be without deduction, defense, setoff or counterclaim, except as required by applicable law pursuant to Section 1.9, and shall be made in same day funds and delivered to Agent for the benefit of Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as applicable, by wire transfer to the account as Agent may from time to time designate in writing. Borrower shall receive credit on the day of receipt for funds received by Agent by 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) (or such later time as Agent may agree). In the absence of timely receipt, such funds may, in Agent’s discretion, be deemed to have been paid on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be 13 [[7932149]]

made on the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of Interest Period) (unless the next succeeding Business Day would be in the next succeeding month after the stated due date for such payment, in which case such payment shall be made on the last Business Day immediately prior to the stated due date) and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest and Fees due hereunder. Unless Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be required to) in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that Agent makes to any Lender, L/C Issuer or other Lender Party as to which Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) Borrower has not in fact made the corresponding payment to Agent; (2) Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount(s) received by it from Borrower either individually or in the aggregate (whether or not then owed); or (3) Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lender Parties severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender Party, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 1.5 Prepayments. (a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans. (i) At any time, Borrower may, upon notice to Agent from Borrower, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 1.12 to the extent applicable); provided that (A) such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (i) three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to any date of prepayment of SOFR Loans and (ii) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans (or such later time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion), and (B) each partial voluntary prepayment shall be in the minimum amount of $250,000 (or, in the case of any such prepayment of a SOFR Loan, $500,000) or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (unless repaid in full). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and set forth the amount of the principal of the Loans being prepaid, the day the prepayment will be made (which shall be a Business Day), and the subsection hereunder pursuant to which such prepayment is being made; provided that if such prepayment is expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of any event, the proceeds of which are expected to be applied to such prepayment, then Borrower may revoke such notice and/or extend the prepayment date set forth therein by not more than ten (10) Business Days if such condition is not satisfied. Prepayments of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(f). Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not be permitted to voluntarily prepay the Term LoansLoan, the First Amendment Term Loan or the Delayed Draw Term LoansLoan without the prior written consent of the Requisite Revolving Lenders if a Trigger Event of Default has occurred and is continuing., it being agreed, however, that nothing in this sentence shall restrict prepayment of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan concurrently with a repayment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans and termination of all Revolving Loan Commitments on a date that would be a Termination Date. 14 [[7932149]]

(ii) Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to Agent) from Borrower, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of the prepayment (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion), and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000 or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that if such prepayment is expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of any event, the proceeds of which are expected to be applied to such prepayment, then Borrower may revoke such notice and/or extend the prepayment date set forth therein by not more than ten (10) Business Days if such condition is not satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Auto Borrow Agreement for so long as any such agreement is in effect. (b) Prepayments from Excess Cash Flow. Within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the audited year-end Financial Statements pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.4(b) are required to be delivered hereunder with respect to any Fiscal Year (each such date, the “Excess Cash Flow Payment Date”), commencing with respect to the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2025, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) the Applicable Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the priorsuch Fiscal Year, less (B) the amount of any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan, the Delayed Draw Term Loan and the Revolving Loans (to the extent accompanied by a concurrent and equivalent reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment) during such Fiscal Year (provided, the foregoing calculation shall never be less than zero, provided, further, that no prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) shall be required with respect to any Fiscal Year unless the amount of Excess Cash Flow otherwise required to be applied as a prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) is in excess of $1,000,000 for such Fiscal Year). Prepayments of the Loans under this Section 1.5(b) shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(f). (c) [Reserved]. (d) Prepayments from Asset Dispositions; Casualty Events. (i) Promptly upon receipt by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Proceeds from Asset Dispositions described in Sections 3.7(i) or 3.7(k) in excess of $3,000,000 in the aggregate for all such Asset Dispositions (the “Threshold Amount”) during any Fiscal Year, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds in excess of such amount, except that Borrower may reinvest or commit to reinvest all or any portion of such Net Proceeds of any such Asset Disposition in assets (other than inventory) of a kind used or useful in the Credit Parties’ business within twelve (12) months; provided, with respect to any such commitment to reinvest that is made within such twelve (12) month period, such Net Proceeds are actually reinvested in such assets within the six (6) month period immediately succeeding such twelve (12) month period. If Borrower does not intend to so reinvest or commit to reinvest such Net Proceeds or if the applicable period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence expires without Borrower having reinvested or committed to reinvest the full amount of the Net Proceeds of any such Asset Disposition, then Borrower shall apply all such 15 [[7932149]]

remaining Net Proceeds of such Asset Disposition in excess of the Threshold Amount to payment of the Loans in accordance with Section 1.5(f). (ii) Subject to the terms of Section 2.2, immediately following the receipt by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Proceeds from a Casualty Event in excess of $3,000,000 in the aggregate for all such Casualty Events in any Fiscal Year, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds, to the extent not otherwise permitted by Section 2.2 to be used to maintain, develop, construct, improve, upgrade, replace, repair, restore or rebuild the destroyed or damaged assets or reinvest (including by acquiring any such assets) all or any portion of such Net Proceeds in assets (other than inventory) of a kind used or useful in the Credit Parties’ business within twelve (12) months; provided, with respect to any such commitment to reinvest that is made within such twelve (12) month period, such Net Proceeds are actually reinvested in such assets within the six (6) month period immediately succeeding such twelve (12) month period. If Borrower does not intend to so reinvest or commit to reinvest such Net Proceeds or if the applicable period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence expires without Borrower having reinvested or committed to reinvest the full amount of the Net Proceeds of any such Casualty Event, then Borrower shall apply all such remaining Net Proceeds of such Casualty Event in excess of $3,000,000 to the payment of the Loans in accordance with Section 1.5(f). (e) Prepayments from Debt Issuances. Promptly upon the receipt by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any debt securities (other than the proceeds from the issuance of debt securities in respect of Indebtedness permitted hereunder), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds of such debt issuance. The payments shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(f). (f) Application of Proceeds. (i) Subject to Section 6.5, with respect to any prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 1.5(b), 1.5(d) and 1.5(e), such prepayments shall be applied as follows: first, in payment of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan and to the then outstanding balance of the Delayed Draw Term Loans on a pro rata basis, and as to each such Loan, against the next eight (8) Scheduled Installments thereof in direct order of maturity, second in payment of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loans on a pro rata basis, and as to each such Loan, against all remaining Scheduled Installments thereof (excluding the final Scheduled Installment thereof at maturity) on a pro rata basis based on the amounts thereof and then to the final Scheduled Installment thereof at maturity, until such Loans shall have been prepaid in full, third, pro rata to the Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans outstanding until the same have been repaid in full but not as a permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment, and fourth, to Agent as cash collateral for all outstanding Letters of Credit up to an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the aggregate Letter of Credit Participation Liability thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, each Lender may elect, by prior written notice to Agent and Borrower, to decline to receive the proceeds of any mandatory prepayment event set forth in Sections 1.5(b), 1.5(d) and 1.5(e) above allocable to such Lender, and, upon Agent’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of such written notice, Borrower shall be permitted to keep and retain such portion of the proceeds so declined by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (such declined amount, the “Declined Prepayment Amount”). 16 [[7932149]]

(ii) Subject to Section 6.5, with respect to any payments of the Term Loans andLoan, the First Amendment Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.5(a), such prepayments shall be applied to the Scheduled Installments thereof as specified by Borrower (or, if not specified, in direct order of maturity); provided, that, any such prepayment must be applied on a pro rata basis to the Term LoansLoan funded on the Closing Date, to the First Amendment Term Loan funded on the First Amendment Funding Date and to the then outstanding balance of the Delayed Draw Term Loans. (g) Overadvances. If at any time the sum of (i) the then outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans plus (ii) the then outstanding principal balance of Swing Line Loans plus (iii) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Participation Liabilities exceeds the Maximum Amount, then Borrower shall promptly prepay outstanding Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such applicable excess. (h) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained in this Section 1.5 for the application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent by Agent or any Lender to transactions that are not otherwise expressly permitted by the terms hereof. (i) Restricted Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any or all of the Net Proceeds of any mandatory prepayment event of the type described in Sections 1.5(b), 1.5(d) and 1.5(e) are attributable to the Excess Cash Flow, Asset Disposition, Casualty Event or Net Proceeds of, by or received by, a Foreign Subsidiary and such amounts are prohibited or delayed by any applicable local Requirements of Law from being repatriated to Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary (each, a “Repatriation”; with “Repatriated” having a correlative meaning) (Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take promptly all actions reasonably required by such Requirements of Law to permit such Repatriation), the portion of such amounts so affected, will not be required to be applied to prepay Loans at the times provided in this Section 1.5 and may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided, that if and to the extent any such Repatriation ceases to be prohibited or delayed by applicable local Requirements of Law at any time, the Credit Parties shall reasonably promptly Repatriate, or cause to be Repatriated, an amount equal to such previously prohibited amount, net of any costs and expenses associated with such Repatriation (such amount, the “Excluded Prepayment Amount”), and the Credit Parties shall reasonably promptly pay the Excluded Prepayment Amount to the Lenders, which payment shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(f). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Borrower has reasonably determined in good faith that repatriation of all or any portion of any such Net Proceeds attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary would have material adverse tax consequences to Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taking into account any tax credit or benefit available in connection with such repatriation), such Net Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary and shall not be required to be applied as a repayment of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan or the Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to this Section 1.5 so long, but only so long, as the repatriation would result in such material adverse tax consequences to Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (and for the avoidance of doubt, if such material adverse tax consequences cease to exist or would not result therefrom, such Net Proceeds shall be promptly paid to the Lenders to be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(f)). For the avoidance of doubt, the non-application of any such portion of the mandatory prepayment amount pursuant to this Section 1.5(i) shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default. 1.6 Maturity. All of the Obligations shall become due and payable as otherwise set forth herein, but in any event all of the remaining Obligations shall become due and payable upon (a) in the 17 [[7932149]]

case of any Obligations in respect of Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans, the Commitment Termination Date, (b) in the case of any Obligations in respect of Term Loans, the Term Loan Maturity Date and, (c) in the case of any Obligations in respect of the First Amendment Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan Maturity Date, and (d) in the case of any Obligations in respect of Delayed Draw Term Loans, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Maturity Date. Until the Termination Date, Agent shall be entitled to retain the security interests in the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents and the ability to exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents and applicable laws. 1.7 Loan Accounts. Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record: the Loans, all payments made by Borrower or the other Credit Parties with respect to the Loans, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Loans and any other Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent may, from time to time, at Agent’s discretion, charge the Loan Account for any amounts due and owing by Borrower under the Loan Documents whereupon the same shall be deemed added to the balance of Obligations owing by Borrower. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with customary accounting practices of Agent as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account shall, absent demonstrable error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s duty to pay the Obligations. Upon the request of Borrower, Agent shall render to Borrower a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Loans and any other Obligations setting forth the balance of the Loan Account for the immediately preceding month. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, any Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the issuance of Notes to that Lender and may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it. 1.8 Increased Costs; Illegality. (a) Increased Costs. (i) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any L/C Issuer; (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, 18 [[7932149]]

such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (ii) If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (iii) A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. (iv) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or L/C Issuer shall be entitled to be compensated hereunder unless the Change in Law occurred within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer notified Borrower in writing of the Change in Law and of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. (b) Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to continue to fund or maintain any SOFR Loan, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such SOFR Loan at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s opinion, adversely affecting it or its Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to Borrower through Agent, the SOFR Loans of such Lender will, at the option of such Lender, be deemed to be computed by reference to the Base Rate (without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”) during the period of such illegality. If any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any SOFR Loan, Borrower shall either (x) prepay in full all SOFR Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 1.12 or (y) convert all outstanding SOFR Loans 19 [[7932149]]

of such Lender into Base Rate Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans (and concurrently therewith pay any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 1.12). 1.9 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (c) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than Indemnified Taxes and expenses payable by reason of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the applicable Recipient), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if the Credit Party reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, Agent, or Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Credit Party to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be repaid to the Credit Party in accordance with Section 1.9(g)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole discretion of Agent or such Lender, result in any additional out of pocket costs or expenses not reimbursed by the Credit Party, require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential), or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to Agent or such Lender, as applicable. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.1 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes 20 [[7932149]]

were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this Section 1.9(d). (e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Credit Party shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent. (f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 1.9(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in any Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Borrower, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form 21 [[7932149]]

W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.9-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.9-2 or Exhibit 1.9-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.9-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for 22 [[7932149]]

purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. (i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 1.9, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer, and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 1.10 Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 1.11, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan: (a) Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or (b) the Requisite Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Requisite Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Agent, then Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by Agent to Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans and, in the case of a SOFR Loan, the affected Interest Periods) until Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans and, in the case of a SOFR Loans, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately or, in the case of a SOFR Loans, at the end of the applicable 23 [[7932149]]

Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 1.12. 1.11 Effect of Benchmark Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any interest rate swap agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for the purposes of this Section 1.11): (a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders. (b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Agent will have the right to make, in consultation with Borrower, 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. (c) Notice; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will promptly notify Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 1.11. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 1.11, 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 1.11. (d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR 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 administration of 24 [[7932149]]

such Benchmark or 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 or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then 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, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then 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. (e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, 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, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of 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. 1.12 Funding Losses. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any actual and documented (subject to the last sentence of this Section 1.12) loss or expense (but excluding any loss of profit or Taxes) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: (a) the failure of Borrower to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any SOFR Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof); (b) the failure of Borrower to borrow a SOFR Loan, continue a SOFR Loan or convert a Base Rate Loan into a SOFR Loan after Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation; (c) the failure of Borrower to make any prepayment of a SOFR Loan after Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 1.5(a) (except to the extent any such notice is revoked by Borrower in accordance with Section 1.5(a)); (d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 1.5) of a SOFR Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or (e) the conversion pursuant to Section 1.5 of any SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period; including any such loss or expense (but excluding any loss of profit) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its SOFR Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 1.12, at the election of any Lender that regularly 25 [[7932149]]

funds SOFR Loans by “match funding”, each SOFR Loan made by such Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at Term SOFR used in determining the interest rate for such SOFR Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such SOFR Loan is in fact so funded. 1.13 [Reserved]. 1.14 Increase in Revolving Loan Commitments, Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and Term Loan Commitments. (a) Request for Increase. Borrower may from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Term Loan Maturity Date or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, request to add one or more incremental term facilities and/or delayed draw term loan facilities and/or request an increase in the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment (each such increase or addition of incremental facilities, an “Increase”) by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding an amount equal to the maximum aggregate principal amount that would not (on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Increase and any Permitted Acquisition, other transactions consummated after the relevant financial statements date and on or prior to the date thereof and any related transaction consummated substantially concurrently therewith, and, with respect to an Increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment, assuming that the entire amount of such Increase is fully funded) cause the Total Leverage Ratio of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the end of the fiscal month most recently ended as to which financial statements were required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.4 to be greater than the lesser of (A) 5.00 to 1.00 and (B) the maximum Total Leverage Ratio permitted pursuant to Section 4.2 for the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter; provided that any such request for an Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000. The aggregate amount of all Increases of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall not exceed $15,000,000. At the time of sending any such request, Borrower (in consultation with Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than five (5) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the applicable Lenders). (b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each applicable Lender shall notify Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to commit to a portion of the requested increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment or the requested incremental term facility or incremental delayed draw term loan facility and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share (each such notice of a Lender’s agreement to commit to a portion of the requested increase, an “Increase Election Notice” and each such Lender agreeing to commit to a portion of the requested increase, an “Electing Lender”). Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to commit to any portion of the requested increase. (c) Notification by Agent; Additional Lenders. Agent shall notify Borrower of the applicable Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase or incremental term facility or incremental delayed draw term loan facility, Borrower may also invite additional Persons (subject to the same approvals that would be required for an assignment to any such additional Person pursuant to Section 8.1) to become Lenders (each such additional Person, an “Additional Lender”) pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and its counsel (an “Additional Lender Joinder Agreement”); provided, however, that without the consent of Agent, at no time shall the 26 [[7932149]]

Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, of any Additional Lender be less than $1,000,000. (d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment are increased or an incremental term facility or incremental delayed draw term loan facility is provided in accordance with this Section 1.14, Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase or incremental term facility or incremental delayed draw term loan facility; provided, that the final allocation for any Electing Lender shall not be less than its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Increase unless such Electing Lender has specified in the applicable Increase Election Notice for such Increase that it is committing to an amount less than its Pro Rata Share (in which case the final allocation for such Electing Lender shall not be less than such committed amount). Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the final allocation of such increase or incremental term facility or incremental delayed draw term loan facility and the Increase Effective Date. (e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to each Increase (subject to the Limited Condition Transaction Provisions), (i) Borrower shall have delivered to Agent a certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.14(e) dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Credit Parties approving or consenting to such Increase, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to the Increase, no Default or Event of Default (subject to the Limited Condition Transaction Provisions and excluding, for purposes of clarity, any Default or Event of Default waived in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof) shall have occurred or be continuing or would result immediately after giving effect to such Increase; (ii) Borrower, Agent, and any Additional Lender shall have executed and delivered an Additional Lender Joinder Agreement; (iii) Borrower shall have paid such fees and other compensation to Agent, the Lenders increasing their Revolving Loan Commitments, Term Loan Commitments and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments or providing any incremental term loan or incremental delayed draw term loan and the Additional Lenders, as Borrower, Agent, such Lenders and such Additional Lenders shall agree; (iv) Borrower shall have delivered to Agent reasonably satisfactory evidence that on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Increase and any Permitted Acquisition, other transactions consummated after the relevant financial statements date and on or prior to the date thereof and any related transaction consummated substantially concurrently therewith, and, with respect to an Increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment, assuming that the entire amount of such Increase is fully funded, the Total Leverage Ratio of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the end of the fiscal month most recently ended as to which financial statements were required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.4 is less than or equal to the lesser of (x) 5.00 to 1.00 and (y) the maximum Total Leverage Ratio permitted pursuant to Section 4.2 for the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter, subject to the Limited Condition Transaction Provisions; (v) Borrower shall have delivered to Agent, to the extent requested by Agent, a customary opinion or opinions, in form and substance substantially consistent with the opinion or opinions delivered on the Closing Date (with customary changes thereto to reflect the incremental nature of the credit extensions) or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Agent, from counsel to the Credit Parties and dated such date; and (vi) each of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2 shall have been satisfied (it being understood that any certificates or deliverables required thereunder, to the extent duplicative of any certificates or deliverables required above, may be combined at the option of Borrower). In the case of an Increase in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date shall be reallocated and adjusted between and among the applicable Lenders, and Borrower shall pay any additional amounts 27 [[7932149]]

required pursuant to Section 1.12 resulting therefrom, to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding applicable Revolving Loans ratable among the applicable Lenders with any revised Pro Rata Shares, as applicable, arising from any nonratable increase in the applicable Revolving Loans under this Section 1.14. (f) Interest Margins. Borrower shall have reached agreement with the Lenders (or Additional Lenders) agreeing to the respective Increase with respect to the interest margins applicable to Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans, incremental term loans or incremental delayed draw term loans to be made pursuant such Increase and shall have communicated the amount of such interest margins to Agent. Any joinder pursuant to clause (c) above may, with the consent of Agent, Borrower and the Lenders or Additional Lenders providing such Increase, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.14 (including any amendment necessary to effectuate the interest margins for the Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans, incremental term loans or incremental delayed draw term loan facility to be made pursuant to such Increase). Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, (1) if the interest margin that is to be applicable to the Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the increased Revolving Loan Commitments is higher than the interest margin applicable to the Revolving Loans immediately prior to the applicable Increase Effective Date (the amount by which the interest margin is higher, the “Excess”), then the interest margin applicable to the Revolving Loans immediately prior to the Increase Effective Date shall be increased by the amount of the Excess, effective on the applicable Increase Effective Date, and without the necessity of any action by any party hereto, (2) it is agreed and understood that the all-in yield (including interest rate margins, any interest rate floors, original issue discount and upfront fees (based on the lesser of a four-year average life to maturity or the remaining life to maturity), but excluding reasonable and customary arrangement, structuring and underwriting fees paid or payable to the lead arranger or its affiliates or otherwise not generally shared with all of the applicable lenders with respect to an Increase of the Term Loans or any incremental term loans (other than incremental delayed draw term loans, which are the subject of subclause (3) below) provided pursuant to an Increase) applicable to any Increase of the Term Loan or any incremental term loans (other than incremental delayed draw term loans) provided pursuant to an Increase shall not be more than 0.50% higher than the corresponding all-in yield (determined on the same basis) applicable to the then outstanding Term Loans, First Amendment Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans, unless the interest rate margin with respect to the then outstanding Term Loans, First Amendment Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans is increased by an amount equal to (I) the difference between the all-in yield with respect to the Increase of the Term Loan or the incremental term loans (other than incremental delayed draw term loans) provided pursuant to the Increase, as applicable, and the all-in yield with respect to such then outstanding Term Loans, First Amendment Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans, minus (II) 0.50% per annum and (3) it is agreed and understood that the all-in yield (including interest rate margins, any interest rate floors, original issue discount and upfront fees (based on the lesser of a four-year average life to maturity or the remaining life to maturity), but excluding reasonable and customary arrangement, structuring and underwriting fees paid or payable to the lead arranger or its affiliates or otherwise not generally shared with all of the applicable lenders with respect to an Increase of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments or any incremental delayed draw term loan commitments provided pursuant to an Increase) applicable to any Delayed Draw Term Loans to be made pursuant to any Increase of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments or any delayed draw term loans to be made pursuant to any incremental delayed draw term loan commitments provided pursuant to an Increase shall not be more than 0.50% higher than the corresponding all-in yield (determined on the same basis) applicable to the then outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans, Term Loans and First 28 [[7932149]]

Amendment Term Loans, unless the interest rate margin with respect to the then outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans and, Term Loans and First Amendment Term Loans is increased by an amount equal to (I) the difference between the all-in yield with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loans to be made pursuant to the Increase of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments or the delayed draw term loans to be made pursuant to the incremental delayed draw term loan commitments provided pursuant to the Increase, as applicable, and the all-in yield with respect to such then outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans, Term Loans and First Amendment Term Loans, minus (II) 0.50% per annum. (g) Each Increase shall rank pari passu in right of payment in respect of Collateral and with the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitments, Term Loans, First Amendment Term Loan Commitments (and the First Amendment Term Loan funded thereunder) and Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments (and Delayed Draw Term Loans funded thereunder) available to Borrower. In addition thereto (i) (x) Increases to the Term Loan Commitment or any incremental term loans (other than incremental delayed draw term loans, which are the subject of subclause (y) below) shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the latest maturity date applicable to any Term Loan, First Amendment Term Loan or previously established incremental term loan (other than incremental delayed draw term loans) and (y) Increases to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment (and Delayed Draw Term Loans funded thereunder) or any incremental delayed draw term loan commitments (and delayed draw term loans funded thereunder) shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the latest maturity date applicable to any Delayed Draw Term Loan or previously established incremental delayed draw term loan, (ii) (x) Increases to the Term Loans or any incremental term loans shall not have a weighted average life to maturity that is shorter than the then weighted average life to maturity of the remaining Term Loans, First Amendment Term Loans and previously established incremental term loans (other than incremental delayed draw term loans, which are the subject or subclause (y) below) and (y) Increases to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment (and Delayed Draw Term Loans funded thereunder) or any incremental delayed draw term loan commitments (and delayed draw term loans funded thereunder) shall not have a weighted average life to maturity that is shorter than the then weighted average life to maturity of the remaining Delayed Draw Term Loans and previously established incremental delayed draw term loans, (iii) any incremental term loans (including incremental delayed draw term loans) may have such other terms as may be agreed among Borrower, Agent and the Lenders and Additional Lenders providing such incremental term loans (including incremental delayed draw term loans) to the extent not inconsistent with the other provisions of this Section 1.14; provided that in no event shall the terms applicable to such incremental term loans, when taken as a whole, be materially more restrictive than the terms applicable to the Term Loan, First Amendment Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loans, as applicable, and the incremental delayed draw term loans shall have the same pro forma leverage ratio funding condition as the existing Delayed Draw Term Loans under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and (iv) other than pricing (but subject to subsection (f) above), each Increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be under the same terms as Revolving Loans in respect of Revolving Loan Commitments. (h) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 1.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 8.3 or 9.2 to the contrary. 1.15 Termination or Reduction of Commitment. (a) Borrower may, upon notice to Agent from Borrower, terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment, or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (Chicago 29 [[7932149]]

time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion), (ii) any such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $250,000 or any whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, (iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the then outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans plus the then outstanding principal balance of Swing Line Loans plus the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Participation Liabilities would exceed the Maximum Amount, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction or termination, any sublimit hereunder for Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans exceeds the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment. Any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. (b) Borrower may, upon notice to Agent from Borrower, terminate the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, or from time to time permanently reduce the Delayed Draw Term Loan; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (Chicago time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion) and (ii) any such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $250,000 or any whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment. Any reduction of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall be applied to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender according to its Pro Rata Share of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. (c) The First Amendment Term Loan Commitments shall terminate as set forth in the First Amendment. (cd) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such commitment termination pursuant to Section 1.15(a) or (b) above is expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of any event, then Borrower may revoke such notice and/or extend the termination or reduction date set forth therein by not more than ten (10) Business Days if such condition is not satisfied. SECTION 2. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS Each Credit Party executing this Agreement jointly and severally agrees as to all Credit Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries (or, where expressly stated below, their Subsidiaries, as applicable) that, from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date: 2.1 Compliance With Laws. Each Credit Party will (a) comply with and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and, solely with respect to taxes, environmental protection matters, ERISA and the provisions of OFAC and the Patriot Act described in Section 5.19 hereof, its other Subsidiaries) to comply with the requirements of all applicable material laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including laws, rules, regulations and orders relating to taxes, employer and employee contributions, securities, employee retirement and welfare benefits, environmental protection matters and employee health and safety, ERISA and the provisions of OFAC and the Patriot Act 30 [[7932149]]

described in Section 5.19 hereof) as now in effect and which are imposed in the future in all jurisdictions in which any Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and, solely with respect to taxes, environmental protection matters, ERISA and the provisions of OFAC and the Patriot Act described in Section 5.19 hereof, any of its other Subsidiaries) is doing business other than those laws, rules, regulations and orders the noncompliance with which (including the occurrence of an ERISA Event whether caused or permitted by a Credit Party or an ERISA Affiliate) would not be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) maintain or obtain and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to maintain or obtain all licenses, qualifications and permits now held or hereafter required to be held by such Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, for which the loss, suspension, revocation or failure to obtain or renew, would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. This Section 2.1 shall not preclude any Credit Party or its Restricted Subsidiaries from contesting any Taxes or other payments, if they are being diligently contested in good faith and if appropriate reserves have been recorded in conformity with GAAP, subject to Section 3.2 and no Lien (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) in respect thereof has been created. 2.2 Insurance. Each Credit Party will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, liability, casualty and business interruption insurance with respect to its business and properties and the business and properties of its Restricted Subsidiaries against loss or damage of the kinds and in the amounts customarily carried or maintained by corporations of established reputation engaged in similar businesses, as reasonably determined in good faith by such Credit Party, and will deliver evidence thereof to Agent. Each Credit Party shall, pursuant to endorsements and/or assignments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent (and subject to Section 2.10), (i) cause Agent to be named as lender’s loss payee in the case of casualty insurance, and assignee in the case of all business interruption insurance (if any), in each case for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and (ii) cause Agent on behalf of the Lenders, to be named as additional insured in the case of all liability insurance. Agent acknowledges and agrees that the Credit Parties’ insurance as in effect on the Closing Date, subject to Section 2.10(b), is, under the circumstances prevailing as of the Closing Date, satisfies the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.2. In the event any Credit Party fails to provide Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement promptly following of Agent’s reasonable written request therefor, Agent may purchase insurance at such Credit Party’s expense to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral. This insurance may, but need not, protect such Credit Party’s interests. The coverage purchased by Agent may or may not pay any claim made by such Credit Party or any claim that is made against such Credit Party in connection with the Collateral. Such Credit Party may later cancel any such insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that such Credit Party has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases such insurance for the Collateral, such Credit Party will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and other reasonable charges imposed by Agent in connection with the placement of such insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of such insurance. The costs of such insurance may be added to the Obligations. The costs of such insurance may be more than the cost of insurance such Credit Party is able to obtain on its own. 2.3 Inspection. Each Credit Party shall permit any authorized representatives of Agent to visit, audit and inspect any of the properties of such Credit Party and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including its and their financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and business with its and their officers and certified public accountants (so long as a reasonable opportunity to be present at such meeting with the certified public accountants is provided to Borrower) and agents, in each case, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice; provided that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain continuing, Agent shall not be entitled to conduct more than one (1) such visit, audit and inspection in each calendar year; provided further that such visit, audit and inspection rights 31 [[7932149]]

shall be subject to the right of the Credit Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries to withhold any information to the extent the provision thereof would violate any confidentiality obligations binding on the Credit Parties or their Restricted Subsidiaries or would reasonably be expected to result in the loss of any professional privilege available to the Credit Parties or their Restricted Subsidiaries. Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of Agent related to any such visit, audit and inspection; provided that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such expenses for more than one (1) such visit, audit and inspection by Agent each calendar year. Representatives of each Lender will be permitted to accompany representatives of Agent during each visit, inspection and discussion referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, in each case, as such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole cost and expense. 2.4 Organizational Existence; Maintenance of Properties. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.6, each Credit Party will and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its organizational existence and, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all rights and franchises necessary in the normal conduct of its business. Each Credit Party will maintain and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to maintain all of its real and personal property reasonably necessary to the normal conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and involuntary casualty and condemnation excepted and shall make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof, in each case, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 2.5 Environmental Matters. Each Credit Party shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to: (a) conduct its operations and keep and maintain its Real Estate in compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits other than noncompliance that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) refrain from causing a Release of or using, storing, generating, or manufacturing Hazardous Materials (except of kinds and in amounts ordinarily and customarily used or stored in similar properties and in compliance with all Environmental Laws) at, in, on, or under the Real Estate, that would, in either case, reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; (c) implement any and all investigation, remediation, removal, response, abatement and/or other actions that are necessary to maintain the value and marketability of the Real Estate or to otherwise comply with Environmental Laws, Environmental Permits and the requirements of Governmental Authorities pertaining to the presence, generation, treatment, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release of any Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, except where the failure to conduct such action or comply with such Environmental Laws, Environmental Permits or requirements would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (d) notify Agent promptly after such Credit Party or any Person within its control becomes aware of any violation of Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or any Release on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any Real Estate that is reasonably likely to result in Environmental Liabilities to a Credit Party or its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and (e) promptly forward to Agent a copy of any order, notice, request for information or other communication or report received by such Credit Party or any Person within its control in connection with any such violation or Release or any other matter relating to any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits that would reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities to a Credit Party or its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, in each case whether or not the Environmental Protection Agency or any Governmental Authority has taken or threatened any action in connection with any such violation, Release or other matter. If Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits by any Credit Party or any Person under its control or any Environmental Liability arising thereunder, or a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, that, in 32 [[7932149]]

each case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries shall, upon Agent’s written request (i) cause the performance of such environmental assessments including, if recommended in Agent’s environmental consultant’s initial assessment report, subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and preparation of such environmental reports, at Borrower’s expense if such assessment identifies a violation of any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits by any Credit Party or any Person under its control or any Environmental Liability arising thereunder, or a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, that, in each case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, as Agent may from time to time reasonably request, which shall be conducted by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, and (ii) if the Credit Parties fail to perform (or cause performance) of any environmental audits under clause (i) above within a reasonable time after receiving a written request from Agent, Credit Parties shall permit Agent or its representatives to have reasonable access to the Real Estate that is the subject of such violation, Environmental Liability or Release of Hazardous Materials for the purpose of conducting such environmental audits and testing as Agent deems reasonably appropriate, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, which shall be conducted by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to the Credit Parties at its own expense unless any such audit, testing or assessment identifies a violation of any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits by any Credit Party or any Person under its control or any Environmental Liability arising thereunder, or a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, that, in each case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries shall thereafter promptly and fully conduct any remediation, removal, response, abatement and/or other actions as may be reasonably required to address any violations of Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or any Environmental Liabilities identified in such environmental audit. 2.6 [Reserved]. 2.7 Further Assurances. (a) Each Credit Party shall, from time to time, execute such additional financing statements, documents and reports that are not inconsistent with any express limitations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document as Agent at any time may reasonably request to evidence, perfect (subject to the qualifications set forth in Section 4(c) of the Security Agreement) or otherwise implement the guarantees and security for repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations contemplated by the Loan Documents. (b) In the event any Credit Party acquires a fee ownership interest in real property after the Closing Date with a fair market value in excess of $3,000,000, such Credit Party shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days (or such longer period of time as Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) following such acquisition, deliver to Agent a fully executed mortgage or deed of trust over such real property in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, together with such customary title insurance policies, surveys, appraisals, a certificate from a national certification agency indicating whether such real property is located in a special flood hazard area, evidence of insurance, local counsel opinions, environmental assessments and other documents and certificates as shall be reasonably required by Agent. (c) Each Credit Party shall, within thirty (30) days (or such later date as Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) following the acquisition or creation of a Domestic Subsidiary, (i) cause each Person that is a Domestic Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) of such Credit Party (provided that this shall not be construed to constitute consent by any of the Lenders 33 [[7932149]]

to any transaction not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement), promptly to guaranty the Guaranteed Obligations by executing and delivering a Guarantor Joinder substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.7(c) hereto, to grant to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in the Collateral of such Person to secure the Guaranteed Obligations by executing and delivering a joinder agreement to the Security Agreement (in substantially the form of the joinder agreements attached thereto), and (ii) pledge, or cause to be pledged, to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, one hundred percent (100%) of the Stock (other than any such Stock constituting Excluded Assets) of each such Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Foreign Holding Company), to the extent owned by a Credit Party, to secure the Guaranteed Obligations and one hundred percent (100%) of the non-Voting Stock (other than any such Stock constituting Excluded Assets) and sixty five percent (65%) of the Voting Stock (other than any such Stock constituting Excluded Assets) of any first tier Foreign Subsidiary and any first tier Excluded Foreign Holding Company, in each case, to the extent owned by a Credit Party, to secure the Guaranteed Obligations by executing and delivering a pledge supplement to the Pledge Agreement (in substantially the form of the pledge supplement attached thereto). 2.8 Cash Management Systems. Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, enter into Control Agreements with respect to each deposit and securities account maintained by each Credit Party (other than any Excluded Account), (a) with respect to any such account (other than any Excluded Account) maintained as of the Closing Date, on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be agreed to by Agent in its sole discretion), (b) with respect to any such account (other than any Excluded Account) acquired after the Closing Date, on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days following such acquisition (or such later date as may be agreed to by Agent in its sole discretion) and (c) with respect to any such account (other than any Excluded Account) newly opened after the Closing Date, on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days following such opening (or such later date as may be agreed to by Agent in its sole discretion). Each such Control Agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and permit Agent to assume, subject to the rights of the depositary or intermediary with respect hereto, exclusive dominion and control of such deposit accounts; provided that Agent shall not exercise its exclusive dominion and control with respect to such accounts so long as no Event of Default has occurred and remains continuing. Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and remains continuing, the Credit Parties shall have the exclusive and sole right to make transfers and withdrawals from and write checks against amounts in such deposit accounts. 2.9 [Reserved]. 2.10 Post-Closing Covenants. (a) No later than ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be agreed to by Agent in its sole discretion), the Credit Parties shall deliver to Agent insurance certificates evidencing the Credit Parties’ liability and property policies naming Agent, as applicable, as an additional insured and lender’s loss payee thereunder, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and duly executed by the applicable insurance provider and effective.

(v) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Non-Funding Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Non-Funding Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Non-Funding Lender to Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Non-Funding Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Non-Funding Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.8, 1.9, 1.11 and 9.1 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a 78 [[7932149]]

participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 8.1(d); provided that an assignment or transfer not in compliance with Section 8.1(b)(iv) shall be void and of no force or effect. (c) Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (and such agency being solely for tax purposes) (in such capacity, subject to Section 9.11), shall maintain at Agent’s Chicago office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts and stated interest of the Loans and Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Non-Funding Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from Agent a copy of the Register. (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Non-Funding Lender, a Disqualified Institution (unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s Letter of Credit Participation Liability and/or participations Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 8.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.8, 1.9 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein including the requirements under Section 1.9(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 1.9(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)), and 1.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of, agrees to be subject to, Section 8.3 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender granting a participation shall as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower maintain in the U.S. a register (“Participation Register”) with respect to the ownership and transfer of each participation containing the information set forth in the Register described in Section 8.1(c). No transfer of a participation shall be effective unless recorded in such Participation Register. Each Participation Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower during normal business hours upon prior reasonable notice to the applicable Lender maintaining the Participant Register to the extent required to cause the Obligations to be in “registered form” within the meaning of Treasury 79 [[7932149]]

Regulation Sections 5f.103-1 and 1.871-14(c). For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participation Register. (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 1.8 or 1.9 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment result from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 1.9 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 1.9 as though it were a Lender. (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of Montreal assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitment or Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such Person may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) in the case of Bank of Montreal, upon 30 days’ notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, or Swing Line Lender, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to serve in such capacity a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder, as the case may be; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Person as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of Montreal resigns as L/C Issuer, such Person shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all Letter of Credit Participation Liability with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Advances or fund risk participations in Letter of Credit Participation Liability pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). If Bank of Montreal resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Advances or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of 80 [[7932149]]

(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints BMO as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents and to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of Lenders subject to the requirement that certain of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ consent be obtained in certain instances as provided in this Section 8.2 and Section 9.2. The provisions of this Section 8.2 (other than the provisions hereof requiring the consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to a successor Agent and clause (h) hereof) are solely for the benefit of Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof (other than the provisions hereof requiring the consent of Borrower to a successor Agent and clause (h) hereof). In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of the applicable Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any other Credit Party. Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co-Agent, sub-Agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Lender Party). Any such Person shall benefit from this Article 8 to the extent provided by Agent. (b) Nature of Duties. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party in connection with the extension of credit hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Credit Party and Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than as expressly required herein). If Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, then Agent shall send notice thereof to each applicable Lender. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any other Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and Agent under the Loan Documents) 81 [[7932149]]

allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and L/C Issuer to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under the Loan Documents. (c) Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that Agent shall be liable to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). In no event shall Agent be liable for punitive, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary or other similar damages. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account, but neither Agent nor any of its respective agents or representatives shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any Credit Party. Agent shall not 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 of the Loan Documents or the financial condition of any Credit Party, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Agent may at any time request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents, Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant. If such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Requisite Lenders or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable; and, notwithstanding the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable, Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action is deemed to be illegal by Agent or exposes Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with Section 8.2(e). (d) Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written or oral notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, fax or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice 82 [[7932149]]

of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion. (e) Indemnification. Lenders will reimburse and indemnify Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent in its capacity as such in under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not reimbursed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by the Requisite Lenders or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement until such additional indemnity is furnished. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 8.2(e) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. (f) BMO (or any Successor Agent) Individually. With respect to its Commitments hereunder, BMO (or any Successor Agent) shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders”, “Requisite Revolving Lenders”, and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include BMO (or any successor Agent) in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Requisite Lenders or Requisite Revolving Lenders or other similar capacity. BMO (or any successor Agent), either directly or through strategic affiliations, may lend money to, acquire equity or other ownership interests in, provide advisory services to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Credit Party as if it were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. BMO (or any successor Agent), either directly or through strategic affiliations, may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. (g) Successor Agents. (i) Resignation. Agent may resign from the performance of all its agency functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clause (ii) below or as otherwise provided in clause (ii) below. (ii) Appointment of Successor. Upon any such applicable notice of resignation pursuant to clause (i) above, Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent, which, unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day period referred to in clause (i) above, the retiring Agent upon notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall then appoint a successor Agent which, 83 [[7932149]]

unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower, who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent in the manner as provided above. (iii) Successor Agents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under the Loan Documents by a successor Agent such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in its capacity as Agent. (h) Collateral Matters. (i) Release of Collateral. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, and Agent agrees with Borrower that, in the case of clauses (w) and (x) below it shall, release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral (v) owned by a Restricted Subsidiary that is Credit Party (other than Borrower) upon the consummation of any transaction or designation permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Credit Party ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (including pursuant to a permitted merger or amalgamation with a Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party or a designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, (w) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claims give rise thereto have been asserted), (x) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (y) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or (z) in accordance with the provisions of the next sentence. In addition, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, Agent may release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral having a book value not greater than ten percent (10%) of the total book value of all Collateral, either in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions. (ii) Confirmation of Authority; Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (as set forth in Section 8.2(h)(i)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent or Borrower, the authority to release any Collateral conferred upon Agent under clauses (v), (w), (x), (y) and (z) of Section 8.2(h)(i). Upon receipt by Agent of any required confirmation from the Requisite Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (y) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Credit Party, in respect of), all interests retained by any Credit Party, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. 84 [[7932149]]

(iii) Absence of Duty. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the property covered by the Collateral Documents exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 8.2(h) or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the property covered by the Collateral Documents or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in property covered by the Collateral Documents as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders, provided that Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account. (i) Agency for Perfection. Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Collateral Document or to realize upon any collateral security for the Loans unless instructed to do so by Agent in writing, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent. (j) Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and Fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will use reasonable efforts to notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice, unless such notice is with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees, in which case Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Requisite Lenders in accordance with Section 6. Unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders. (k) Lender Actions Against Collateral. Each Lender agrees that it will not take any enforcement action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, with respect to the Loans, against Borrower or any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or against any Collateral (including the exercise of any right of set-off) without the consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders. All such Lender enforcement actions and proceedings shall be taken in concert and at the direction and with the consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders. Agent is authorized to issue all notices to be issued by or on behalf of Lenders with respect to any Subordinated Debt. With respect to any action by Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained, and agrees to deliver 85 [[7932149]]

its Notes to Agent to the extent necessary to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the Collateral Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof. (l) Agent Reports. Each Lender may from time to time receive one or more reports or other information (each, a “Report”) prepared by or on behalf of Agent (or one or more of Agent’s affiliates). With respect to each Report, each Lender hereby agrees that: (i) Agent (and Agent’s affiliates) shall have no duties or obligations in connection with or as a result of a Lender receiving a copy of a Report, which will be provided solely as a courtesy, without consideration. Each Lender will perform its own diligence and will make its own independent investigation of the operations, financial conditions and affairs of the Credit Parties and will not rely on any Report or make any claim that it has done so. In addition, each Lender releases, and agrees that it will not assert, any claim against Agent (or one or more of Agent’s affiliates) that in any way relates to any Report or arises out of a Lender having access to any Report or any discussion of its contents, and each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent (and Agent’s affiliates) and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by such Lender or any of its personnel of this Section or otherwise arising out of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s access to any Report or any discussion of its contents; (ii) Each Report may not be complete and certain information and findings obtained by Agent (or one or more of Agent’s affiliates) regarding the operations and condition of the Credit Parties may not be reflected in each Report. Agent (and Agent’s affiliates) makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to (i) any existing or proposed financing; (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in any Report or in any other related documentation; (iii) the scope or adequacy of Agent’s (and Agent’s affiliates’) due diligence, or the presence or absence of any errors or omissions contained in any Report or in any other related documentation; and (iv) any work performed by Agent (or one or more of Agent’s affiliates) in connection with or using any Report or any related documentation; and (iii) Except as provided by Section 9.13, Each Lender agrees to safeguard each Report and any related documentation with the same care which it uses with respect to information of its own which it does not desire to disseminate or publish, and agrees not to reproduce or distribute or provide copies of or disclose any Report or any other related documentation or any related discussions to anyone. (m) Certain ERISA Matters. (i) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (A) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement; 86 [[7932149]]

(B) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; (C) (1) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (2) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (3) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (4) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or (D) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (ii) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (A) in the immediately preceding clause (i) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (D) in the immediately preceding clause (i), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower or any other Credit Party, that Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). (n) Credit Product Providers and Credit Product Arrangements. (i) Each Credit Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to Agent of the creation of a Credit Product Arrangement, agrees to be bound by Section 6.5, this Section 8.2(n) and Section 8.2(p). Each Credit Product Provider shall indemnify Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Related Party thereof (each a “Credit Product Indemnitee”) against, and hold harmless each such Credit Product Indemnitee from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel), incurred by any such Credit Product Indemnitee or asserted against any Credit Product Indemnitee by any third party 87 [[7932149]]

or by Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of such provider’s Credit Product Obligations. (ii) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Credit Product Provider that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 6.5, any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document shall have any voting rights or right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise (including with respect to the release or impairment of any Collateral or notice of or consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Credit Product Obligations arising under Credit Product Arrangements in respect of any payment in full of the Obligations or the Termination Date. Each Credit Product Provider acknowledges and agrees that the Guarantees and the Liens on the Collateral will be released on the Termination Date, notwithstanding that Credit Product Obligations remain outstanding. (o) Additional Agents and Titles. (i) Agent, subject to the consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (not to be unreasonably withheld), shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “book runners,” “lead arrangers,” “arrangers”, “joint lead arrangers” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof. (ii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners or arrangers or agents (other than Agent) listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder. (p) Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that it has made a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, L/C Issuer or other Lender Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by a Credit Party at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each such Person receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Person in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each other Lender Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another), “good consideration”, “change of position” or similar defenses (whether at law or in equity) to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. Agent shall inform each Lender, L/C Issuer or other Lender Party that received a Rescindable Amount promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Person comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. Each Person’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.2(p) shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement 88 [[7932149]]

of, a Lender or L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. (q) Authorization to Enter into Subordination Agreements. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to enter into Subordination Agreements on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement. Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of any Subordination Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Agent to issue blockage notices in connection with the Subordinated Debt at the direction of Agent or the Requisite Lenders. 8.3 Set Off and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance of any such Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to Borrower (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (A) balances held by such Lender at any of its offices for the account of any Credit Party (regardless of whether such balances are then due to any such Credit Party) (excluding any such balances maintained in Excluded Accounts), and (B) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of any such Credit Party, against and on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; except that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure to give notice of any set off and application made by such Lender to Borrower shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Guaranteed Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender entitled to share in the amount so set off in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in a manner consistent with Section 6.5. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Guaranteed Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such amount so set off to Agent for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to share in the amount so set off in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. 8.4 [Reserved]. 8.5 Disbursements of Advances; Payment. (a) Advances; Payments. At least once each calendar month or more frequently at Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, email or fax of the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefits of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Provided that each Lender has funded all payments and Advances required to be made by it and purchased all participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, Agent shall pay to each Lender such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid by or on behalf of Borrower to Agent since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s account (as designated by such Lender in writing to Agent on or before the Closing Date or from time to time thereafter or as set forth in the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date. To the extent that any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) has failed to fund all such payments, Advances, any First Amendment Term Loan or any Delayed Draw Term Loan or failed to fund the purchase of all such participations required to be funded or purchased by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding shortfall 89 [[7932149]]

against that Non-Funding ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from or on behalf of Borrower. (b) Availability of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share. Agent may assume that each Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender and Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit Advance, First Amendment Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loan, as applicable, available to Agent on each Funding Date. If such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, such First Amendment Term Loan Lender or such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall promptly repay such amount to Agent. Nothing in this Section 8.5(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Revolving Lender or, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender or to relieve any Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or any Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, as applicable, from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Revolving Lender or, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender, such First Amendment Term Loan Lender or such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, as applicable, hereunder. To the extent that Agent advances funds to Borrower and/or Borrower on behalf of any Revolving Lender, any First Amendment Term Loan Lender or any Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Advance, First Amendment Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loan is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Advance, such First Amendment Term Loan or such Delayed Draw Term Loan until reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender. (c) Return of Payments. (i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from or on behalf of Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. (ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. (d) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Credit Advance or any payment required by it hereunder, to fund any First Amendment Term Loan for which such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ holds a First Amendment Term Loan Commitment or to fund any Delayed Draw Term Loan for which such Lender holds a Delayed 90 [[7932149]]

Draw Term Loan Commitment, in each case, on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Revolving Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Advance or, purchase such participation, fund such First Amendment Term Loan or fund such Delayed Draw Term Loan on such date, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance, purchase a participation, fund a First Amendment Term Loan, fund a Delayed Draw Term Loan or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender”, a “Requisite Revolving Lender”, a “Revolving Lender”, “First Amendment Term Loan Lender” or a “Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document. SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS 9.1 Indemnities. The Credit Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, pay, and hold Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys (the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses (including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel to such Indemnitees (limited to one primary counsel for the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if deemed reasonably necessary by Agent, one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and any special counsel (except in the case of a conflict, in which case one additional counsel for each group of Indemnitees similarly situated in respect of such conflict)) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnitees being a party to this Agreement or the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to any of the Related Transactions; provided, that no Credit Party shall have any obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to liabilities to the extent resulting from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee (or any of its commonly controlled affiliates, or its or its commonly controlled affiliates’ respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents and controlling persons) as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) a material breach of the material obligations of such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or (iii) disputes solely among Indemnitees at a time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (excluding, in any event, claims against any such Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Agent or Arranger) or (iv) any settlement of a claim by such Indemnitee without ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, if such claim is settled with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any proceeding related thereto, the Credit Parties shall indemnify such Indemnitee for all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, costs and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment. No party hereto shall have liability to any other party hereto or any Indemnitee on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings); provided that the foregoing shall not limit the obligations of the Credit Parties set forth above with respect to any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages included in any third party claim. This Section 9.1 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 9.2 Amendments and Waivers.

therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (i) by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (ii) by Requisite Lenders or all directly affected Lenders, as applicable, or (iii) if the rights or duties of Agent, the L/C Issuer, or the Swing Line Lender are affected thereby, then Agent, the L/C Issuer, or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable. Except as set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) below, all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders shall only require the written consent of Requisite Lenders.

Credit Parties agree that none of Agent, L/C Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to any Credit Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Credit Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless and to the extent that it is determined that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought as determined 96 [[7932149]]

asserted) has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 10 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by: (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Credit Party is or may become a party; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 10) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent, the L/C Issuer and Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent, the L/C Issuer and Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security); (d) the insolvency of any Credit Party; or (e) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each Credit Party shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder. 10.2 Waivers by Credit Parties. (a) Each Credit Party expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Credit Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Credit Party.

defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (ix) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender may have against any other Credit Party or any other Person and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security now or hereafter held by Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender for the Guaranteed Obligations; (x) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, including notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations; (xi) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of any other Credit Party or other Person, enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the liability of any Credit Party hereunder or the enforcement hereof; (xii) relief from any applicable valuation or appraisement laws; (xiii) any other action by Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, whether authorized by this Agreement or otherwise, or any omission by Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender or other failure of Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender to pursue, or delay in pursuing, any other remedy in its power; and (xiv) any and all claims and/or rights of counterclaim, recoupment, setoff or offset. Each Credit Party agrees that the payment and performance of all Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to such Credit Party’s liability hereunder. (c) It is agreed among each Credit Party, Agent, the L/C Issuer and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 10 and such waivers, Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ would decline to enter into this Agreement. 10.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Credit Party agrees that the provisions of this Section 10 are for the benefit of Agent, the L/C Issuer and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and permitted assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Credit Party and Agent, the L/C Issuer or Lenders, the obligations of such other Credit Party under the Loan Documents. 10.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 10.7, each Credit Party hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all Commitments of Agent and/or Lenders to provide further credit have been terminated and all obligations of L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit have been terminated. As further security, any and all debts and liabilities now or hereafter arising and owing by any Credit Party to any other Guarantor are hereby subordinated to Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s claims (including the Guaranteed Obligations) and without the prior written consent of Agent during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, no Guarantor shall demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any Credit Party owing to it until the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) shall have been paid in full in cash and this Agreement shall have terminated; provided that no Guarantor shall have any rights hereunder against any Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries if all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Stock of any Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to a Collateral Document. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of any indebtedness, such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and such Guarantor shall immediately deliver any such amounts to Agent for application to the Guaranteed 103 [[7932149]]

Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 10, and that Agent, L/C Issuer and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 10.4 and that such waivers and agreements shall remain in effect until all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) have been paid in full in cash and all Commitments of Agent, L/C Issuer and/or Lenders to provide further credit (and/or issue Letters of Credit), in each case, have been terminated. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Credit Party’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 10, and that Agent, L/C Issuer, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective successors and permitted assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 10.4 and that such waivers and agreements shall remain in effect until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) have been paid in full in cash and all Commitments of Agent and/or Lenders to provide further credit have, in each case, been terminated. This Section 10 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned to Agent or Lenders or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any other Credit Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 10.5 Election of Remedies. If Agent or any Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Agent or such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Credit Party or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 10. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Credit Party hereby consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent or such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Credit Party might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent or such Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party shall not impair any other Credit Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. In the event Agent or any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Agent or such Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent or such Lender but shall be credited against the Guaranteed Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent, Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed under this Section 10, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale. 10.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Credit Party’s liability under this Section 10 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which such Credit Party is liable under Section 1) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of 104 [[7932149]]

determination the amount that could be claimed by Agent and Lenders from such Credit Party under this Section 10 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Credit Party’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Credit Party under Section 10.7. 10.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations. (a) To the extent that any Credit Party shall make a payment under this Section 10 of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Credit Party, exceeds the amount that such Credit Party would otherwise have paid if each Credit Party had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Credit Party’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Credit Parties as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) and termination of the Commitments such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Credit Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. (b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Credit Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Credit Party under this Section 10 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. (c) This Section 10.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Credit Parties and nothing set forth in this Section 10.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Credit Parties, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 10.1. Nothing contained in this Section 10.7 shall limit the liability of any Credit Party to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Credit Party and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Credit Party shall be primarily liable. (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Credit Party to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. (e) The rights of the indemnifying Credit Parties against other Credit Parties under this Section 10.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and payment of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligation for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) and the termination of the Commitments. 10.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Credit Parties under this Section 10 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Credit Party to Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Credit Party is a party or in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations or obligation of the other Credit Party, without any limitation as to amount, 105 [[7932149]]

unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. --Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank; Signature Pages Follow-- 106 [[7932149]]

SOFR Loan, Term SOFR applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin per annum for SOFR Loans, (vii) with respect to such portion of the First Amendment Term Loan designated as a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin per annum for Base Rate Loans, (viii) with respect to such portion of the First Amendment Term Loan designated as a SOFR Loan, Term SOFR applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin per annum for SOFR Loans and (ix) with respect to each Swing Line Loan, in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1(e)(i). (b) [Reserved]. (c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis (other than Agent’s fee and certain other fees, in each case, set forth in the Fee Letter, which shall be paid in accordance with the terms thereof) and interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, (or, solely for purposes of computing interest with respect to Base Rate Loans, a three hundred sixty five/three hundred sixty six (365/366) day year) in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such Fees and interest are payable. The Base Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto, absent demonstrable error. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Agent will have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR. (d) Automatically upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default arising under Section 6.1(a), 6.1(f) or 6.1(g), the Applicable Margin applicable to the Loans shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest otherwise applicable hereunder (the aggregate increased interest rate, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations; provided, Obligations that do not otherwise accrue interest, but for the implementation of the Default Rate, shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to the Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date the Default Rate is imposed hereunder (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date such Event of Default first occurred) until the Event of Default resulting in the imposition of the Default Rate is cured or waived in writing in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be payable upon demand, but in any event, shall be payable on the next regularly scheduled payment date set forth herein for such Obligation. (e) Borrower shall have the option to (i) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans from Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, (ii) convert any SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan, or (iii) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a SOFR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period and the succeeding Interest Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the last day of the Interest Period of the Loan to be continued. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice delivered to Agent (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 1.2(e) in the case of a conversion or continuation of a SOFR loan, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to the beginning of the applicable Interest Period and in the case of a conversion to Base Rate Loan, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) one (1) Business Day (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to the beginning of the applicable Interest Period. 10 [[6937528]]

No Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a SOFR Loan, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent or the Requisite Lenders have determined not to make or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan as a result thereof. Unless a Notice of Conversion/Continuation has been timely provided to Agent in respect of any existing SOFR Loan requesting that all or any portion of such SOFR Loan be converted into a Base Rate Loan, such SOFR Loan shall automatically be converted into a Base Rate Loan effective as of the expiration of the then applicable Interest Period. There shall be no more than ten (10) SOFR Loans outstanding at any time. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.2, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 1.2(a) through (d), unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.2(f), a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine by a final, non-appealable order that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess as specified in Section 1.5(f) and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as such court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order. (g) The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (i) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to Borrower. The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Benchmark or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or 11 [[6937528]]

made on the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of Interest Period) (unless the next succeeding Business Day would be in the next succeeding month after the stated due date for such payment, in which case such payment shall be made on the last Business Day immediately prior to the stated due date) and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest and Fees due hereunder. Unless Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be required to) in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that Agent makes to any Lender, L/C Issuer or other Lender Party as to which Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) Borrower has not in fact made the corresponding payment to Agent; (2) Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount(s) received by it from Borrower either individually or in the aggregate (whether or not then owed); or (3) Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lender Parties severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender Party, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 1.5 Prepayments. (a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans. (i) At any time, Borrower may, upon notice to Agent from Borrower, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 1.12 to the extent applicable); provided that (A) such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (i) three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to any date of prepayment of SOFR Loans and (ii) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans (or such later time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion), and (B) each partial voluntary prepayment shall be in the minimum amount of $250,000 (or, in the case of any such prepayment of a SOFR Loan, $500,000) or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (unless repaid in full). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and set forth the amount of the principal of the Loans being prepaid, the day the prepayment will be made (which shall be a Business Day), and the subsection hereunder pursuant to which such prepayment is being made; provided that if such prepayment is expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of any event, the proceeds of which are expected to be applied to such prepayment, then Borrower may revoke such notice and/or extend the prepayment date set forth therein by not more than ten (10) Business Days if such condition is not satisfied. Prepayments of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(f). Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not be permitted to voluntarily prepay the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan or the Delayed Draw Term Loan without the prior written consent of the Requisite Revolving Lenders if a Trigger Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it being agreed, however, that nothing in this sentence shall restrict prepayment of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan concurrently with a repayment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans and termination of all Revolving Loan Commitments on a date that would be a Termination Date. (ii) Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to Agent) from Borrower, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line 14 [[6937528]]

Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of the prepayment (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion), and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000 or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that if such prepayment is expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of any event, the proceeds of which are expected to be applied to such prepayment, then Borrower may revoke such notice and/or extend the prepayment date set forth therein by not more than ten (10) Business Days if such condition is not satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Auto Borrow Agreement for so long as any such agreement is in effect. (b) Prepayments from Excess Cash Flow. Within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the audited year-end Financial Statements pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.4(b) are required to be delivered hereunder with respect to any Fiscal Year (each such date, the “Excess Cash Flow Payment Date”), commencing with respect to the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2025, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) the Applicable Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year, less (B) the amount of any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan, the Delayed Draw Term Loan and the Revolving Loans (to the extent accompanied by a concurrent and equivalent reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment) during such Fiscal Year (provided, the foregoing calculation shall never be less than zero, provided, further, that no prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) shall be required with respect to any Fiscal Year unless the amount of Excess Cash Flow otherwise required to be applied as a prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) is in excess of $1,000,000 for such Fiscal Year). Prepayments of the Loans under this Section 1.5(b) shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(f). (c) [Reserved]. (d) Prepayments from Asset Dispositions; Casualty Events. (i) Promptly upon receipt by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Proceeds from Asset Dispositions described in Sections 3.7(i) or 3.7(k) in excess of $3,000,000 in the aggregate for all such Asset Dispositions (the “Threshold Amount”) during any Fiscal Year, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds in excess of such amount, except that Borrower may reinvest or commit to reinvest all or any portion of such Net Proceeds of any such Asset Disposition in assets (other than inventory) of a kind used or useful in the Credit Parties’ business within twelve (12) months; provided, with respect to any such commitment to reinvest that is made within such twelve (12) month period, such Net Proceeds are actually reinvested in such assets within the six (6) month period immediately succeeding such twelve (12) month period. If Borrower does not intend to so reinvest or commit to reinvest such Net Proceeds or if the applicable period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence expires without Borrower having reinvested or committed to reinvest the full amount of the Net Proceeds of any such Asset Disposition, then Borrower shall apply all such 15 [[6937528]]

(ii) Subject to Section 6.5, with respect to any payments of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.5(a), such prepayments shall be applied to the Scheduled Installments thereof as specified by Borrower (or, if not specified, in direct order of maturity); provided, that, any such prepayment must be applied on a pro rata basis to the Term Loan funded on the Closing Date, to the First Amendment Term Loan funded on the First Amendment Funding Date and to the then outstanding balance of the Delayed Draw Term Loans. (g) Overadvances. If at any time the sum of (i) the then outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans plus (ii) the then outstanding principal balance of Swing Line Loans plus (iii) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Participation Liabilities exceeds the Maximum Amount, then Borrower shall promptly prepay outstanding Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such applicable excess. (h) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained in this Section 1.5 for the application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent by Agent or any Lender to transactions that are not otherwise expressly permitted by the terms hereof. (i) Restricted Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any or all of the Net Proceeds of any mandatory prepayment event of the type described in Sections 1.5(b), 1.5(d) and 1.5(e) are attributable to the Excess Cash Flow, Asset Disposition, Casualty Event or Net Proceeds of, by or received by, a Foreign Subsidiary and such amounts are prohibited or delayed by any applicable local Requirements of Law from being repatriated to Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary (each, a “Repatriation”; with “Repatriated” having a correlative meaning) (Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take promptly all actions reasonably required by such Requirements of Law to permit such Repatriation), the portion of such amounts so affected, will not be required to be applied to prepay Loans at the times provided in this Section 1.5 and may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided, that if and to the extent any such Repatriation ceases to be prohibited or delayed by applicable local Requirements of Law at any time, the Credit Parties shall reasonably promptly Repatriate, or cause to be Repatriated, an amount equal to such previously prohibited amount, net of any costs and expenses associated with such Repatriation (such amount, the “Excluded Prepayment Amount”), and the Credit Parties shall reasonably promptly pay the Excluded Prepayment Amount to the Lenders, which payment shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(f). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Borrower has reasonably determined in good faith that repatriation of all or any portion of any such Net Proceeds attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary would have material adverse tax consequences to Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taking into account any tax credit or benefit available in connection with such repatriation), such Net Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary and shall not be required to be applied as a repayment of the Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan or the Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to this Section 1.5 so long, but only so long, as the repatriation would result in such material adverse tax consequences to Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (and for the avoidance of doubt, if such material adverse tax consequences cease to exist or would not result therefrom, such Net Proceeds shall be promptly paid to the Lenders to be applied in accordance with Section 1.5(f)). For the avoidance of doubt, the non-application of any such portion of the mandatory prepayment amount pursuant to this Section 1.5(i) shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default. 1.6 Maturity. All of the Obligations shall become due and payable as otherwise set forth herein, but in any event all of the remaining Obligations shall become due and payable upon (a) in the case of any Obligations in respect of Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans, the 17 [[6937528]]

Commitment Termination Date, (b) in the case of any Obligations in respect of Term Loans, the Term Loan Maturity Date, (c) in the case of any Obligations in respect of the First Amendment Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan Maturity Date, and (d) in the case of any Obligations in respect of Delayed Draw Term Loans, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Maturity Date. Until the Termination Date, Agent shall be entitled to retain the security interests in the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents and the ability to exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents and applicable laws. 1.7 Loan Accounts. Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record: the Loans, all payments made by Borrower or the other Credit Parties with respect to the Loans, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Loans and any other Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent may, from time to time, at Agent’s discretion, charge the Loan Account for any amounts due and owing by Borrower under the Loan Documents whereupon the same shall be deemed added to the balance of Obligations owing by Borrower. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with customary accounting practices of Agent as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account shall, absent demonstrable error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s duty to pay the Obligations. Upon the request of Borrower, Agent shall render to Borrower a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Loans and any other Obligations setting forth the balance of the Loan Account for the immediately preceding month. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, any Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the issuance of Notes to that Lender and may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it. 1.8 Increased Costs; Illegality. (a) Increased Costs. (i) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any L/C Issuer; (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 18 [[6937528]]

(ii) If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (iii) A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. (iv) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or L/C Issuer shall be entitled to be compensated hereunder unless the Change in Law occurred within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer notified Borrower in writing of the Change in Law and of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. (b) Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to continue to fund or maintain any SOFR Loan, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such SOFR Loan at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s opinion, adversely affecting it or its Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to Borrower through Agent, the SOFR Loans of such Lender will, at the option of such Lender, be deemed to be computed by reference to the Base Rate (without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”) during the period of such illegality. If any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any SOFR Loan, Borrower shall either (x) prepay in full all SOFR Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 1.12 or (y) convert all outstanding SOFR Loans of such Lender into Base Rate Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender 19 [[6937528]]

may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans (and concurrently therewith pay any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 1.12). 1.9 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (c) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than Indemnified Taxes and expenses payable by reason of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the applicable Recipient), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if the Credit Party reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, Agent, or Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Credit Party to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be repaid to the Credit Party in accordance with Section 1.9(g)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole discretion of Agent or such Lender, result in any additional out of pocket costs or expenses not reimbursed by the Credit Party, require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential), or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to Agent or such Lender, as applicable. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.1 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall 20 [[6937528]]

be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this Section 1.9(d). (e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Credit Party shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent. (f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 1.9(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in any Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Borrower, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business 21 [[6937528]]

profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.9-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.9-2 or Exhibit 1.9-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.9-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for 22 [[6937528]]

Term Loans, unless the interest rate margin with respect to the then outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans, Term Loans and First Amendment Term Loans is increased by an amount equal to (I) the difference between the all-in yield with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loans to be made pursuant to the Increase of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments or the delayed draw term loans to be made pursuant to the incremental delayed draw term loan commitments provided pursuant to the Increase, as applicable, and the all-in yield with respect to such then outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans, Term Loans and First Amendment Term Loans, minus (II) 0.50% per annum. (g) Each Increase shall rank pari passu in right of payment in respect of Collateral and with the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitments, Term Loans, First Amendment Term Loan Commitments (and the First Amendment Term Loan funded thereunder) and Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments (and Delayed Draw Term Loans funded thereunder) available to Borrower. In addition thereto (i) (x) Increases to the Term Loan Commitment or any incremental term loans (other than incremental delayed draw term loans, which are the subject of subclause (y) below) shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the latest maturity date applicable to any Term Loan, First Amendment Term Loan or previously established incremental term loan (other than incremental delayed draw term loans) and (y) Increases to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment (and Delayed Draw Term Loans funded thereunder) or any incremental delayed draw term loan commitments (and delayed draw term loans funded thereunder) shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the latest maturity date applicable to any Delayed Draw Term Loan or previously established incremental delayed draw term loan, (ii) (x) Increases to the Term Loans or any incremental term loans shall not have a weighted average life to maturity that is shorter than the then weighted average life to maturity of the remaining Term Loans, First Amendment Term Loans and previously established incremental term loans (other than incremental delayed draw term loans, which are the subject or subclause (y) below) and (y) Increases to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment (and Delayed Draw Term Loans funded thereunder) or any incremental delayed draw term loan commitments (and delayed draw term loans funded thereunder) shall not have a weighted average life to maturity that is shorter than the then weighted average life to maturity of the remaining Delayed Draw Term Loans and previously established incremental delayed draw term loans, (iii) any incremental term loans (including incremental delayed draw term loans) may have such other terms as may be agreed among Borrower, Agent and the Lenders and Additional Lenders providing such incremental term loans (including incremental delayed draw term loans) to the extent not inconsistent with the other provisions of this Section 1.14; provided that in no event shall the terms applicable to such incremental term loans, when taken as a whole, be materially more restrictive than the terms applicable to the Term Loan, First Amendment Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loans, as applicable, and the incremental delayed draw term loans shall have the same pro forma leverage ratio funding condition as the existing Delayed Draw Term Loans under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and (iv) other than pricing (but subject to subsection (f) above), each Increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be under the same terms as Revolving Loans in respect of Revolving Loan Commitments. (h) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 1.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 8.3 or 9.2 to the contrary. 1.15 Termination or Reduction of Commitment. (a) Borrower may, upon notice to Agent from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment, or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (Chicago 29 [[6937528]]

time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion), (ii) any such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $250,000 or any whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, (iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the then outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans plus the then outstanding principal balance of Swing Line Loans plus the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Participation Liabilities would exceed the Maximum Amount, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction or termination, any sublimit hereunder for Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans exceeds the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment. Any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. (b) Borrower may, upon notice to Agent from Borrower, terminate the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, or from time to time permanently reduce the Delayed Draw Term Loan; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (Chicago time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion) and (ii) any such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $250,000 or any whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the applicable Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment. Any reduction of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall be applied to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender according to its Pro Rata Share of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment.

(ii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: (A) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within seven (7) Business Days after having received notice thereof; (B) the consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any Term Loan Commitment, First Amendment Term Loan Commitment, Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, Revolving Loan Commitment or Revolving Loan if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment or Loan in respect of the applicable Commitment being assigned, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term Loan, 77 [[6937528]]

The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. (iv) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) Sponsor or any Affiliate of Sponsor, Borrower or Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) any holder of the Subordinated Debt, (C) any Non-Funding Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (C), (D) a natural person or (E) unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Disqualified Institution. (v) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Non-Funding Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Non-Funding Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Non-Funding Lender to Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Non-Funding Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Non-Funding Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the 78 [[6937528]]

assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.8, 1.9, 1.11 and 9.1 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 8.1(d); provided that an assignment or transfer not in compliance with Section 8.1(b)(iv) shall be void and of no force or effect. (c) Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (and such agency being solely for tax purposes) (in such capacity, subject to Section 9.11), shall maintain at Agent’s Chicago office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts and stated interest of the Loans and Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Non-Funding Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from Agent a copy of the Register. (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Non-Funding Lender, a Disqualified Institution (unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s Letter of Credit Participation Liability and/or participations Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 8.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.8, 1.9 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein including the requirements under Section 1.9(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 1.9(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)), and 1.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of, agrees to be subject to, Section 8.3 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender granting a 79 [[6937528]]

participation shall as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower maintain in the U.S. a register (“Participation Register”) with respect to the ownership and transfer of each participation containing the information set forth in the Register described in Section 8.1(c). No transfer of a participation shall be effective unless recorded in such Participation Register. Each Participation Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower during normal business hours upon prior reasonable notice to the applicable Lender maintaining the Participant Register to the extent required to cause the Obligations to be in “registered form” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 5f.103-1 and 1.871-14(c). For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participation Register. (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 1.8 or 1.9 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment result from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 1.9 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 1.9 as though it were a Lender. (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of Montreal assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitment or Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such Person may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) in the case of Bank of Montreal, upon 30 days’ notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, or Swing Line Lender, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to serve in such capacity a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder, as the case may be; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Person as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of Montreal resigns as L/C Issuer, such Person shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all Letter of Credit Participation Liability with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Advances or fund risk participations in Letter of Credit Participation Liability pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). If Bank of Montreal resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line 80 [[6937528]]

▇▇▇▇▇▇ provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Advances or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 8.2 Agent. (a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints BMO as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents and to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of Lenders subject to the requirement that certain of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ consent be obtained in certain instances as provided in this Section 8.2 and Section 9.2. The provisions of this Section 8.2 (other than the provisions hereof requiring the consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to a successor Agent and clause (h) hereof) are solely for the benefit of Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof (other than the provisions hereof requiring the consent of Borrower to a successor Agent and clause (h) hereof). In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of the applicable Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any other Credit Party. Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co-Agent, sub-Agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Lender Party). Any such Person shall benefit from this Article 8 to the extent provided by Agent. (b) Nature of Duties. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party in connection with the extension of credit hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Credit Party and Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than as expressly required herein). If Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, then Agent shall send notice thereof to each applicable Lender. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any other Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and 81 [[6937528]]

empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and Agent under the Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and L/C Issuer to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under the Loan Documents. (c) Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that Agent shall be liable to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). In no event shall Agent be liable for punitive, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary or other similar damages. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account, but neither Agent nor any of its respective agents or representatives shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any Credit Party. Agent shall not 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 of the Loan Documents or the financial condition of any Credit Party, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Agent may at any time request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents, Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant. If such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Requisite Lenders or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable; and, notwithstanding the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable, Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action is 82 [[6937528]]

deemed to be illegal by Agent or exposes Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with Section 8.2(e). (d) Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written or oral notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, fax or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion. (e) Indemnification. Lenders will reimburse and indemnify Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent in its capacity as such in under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not reimbursed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by the Requisite Lenders or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement until such additional indemnity is furnished. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 8.2(e) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. (f) BMO (or any Successor Agent) Individually. With respect to its Commitments hereunder, BMO (or any Successor Agent) shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders”, “Requisite Revolving Lenders”, and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include BMO (or any successor Agent) in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Requisite Lenders or Requisite Revolving Lenders or other similar capacity. BMO (or any successor Agent), either directly or through strategic affiliations, may lend money to, acquire equity or other ownership interests in, provide advisory services to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Credit Party as if it were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. BMO (or any successor Agent), either directly or through strategic affiliations, may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. (g) Successor Agents. (i) Resignation. Agent may resign from the performance of all its agency functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Such resignation shall take effect upon the 83 [[6937528]]

acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clause (ii) below or as otherwise provided in clause (ii) below. (ii) Appointment of Successor. Upon any such applicable notice of resignation pursuant to clause (i) above, Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent, which, unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day period referred to in clause (i) above, the retiring Agent upon notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall then appoint a successor Agent which, unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower, who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent in the manner as provided above. (iii) Successor Agents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under the Loan Documents by a successor Agent such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in its capacity as Agent. (h) Collateral Matters. (i) Release of Collateral. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, and Agent agrees with Borrower that, in the case of clauses (w) and (x) below it shall, release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral (v) owned by a Restricted Subsidiary that is Credit Party (other than Borrower) upon the consummation of any transaction or designation permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Credit Party ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (including pursuant to a permitted merger or amalgamation with a Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party or a designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, (w) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claims give rise thereto have been asserted), (x) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (y) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or (z) in accordance with the provisions of the next sentence. In addition, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, Agent may release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral having a book value not greater than ten percent (10%) of the total book value of all Collateral, either in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions. (ii) Confirmation of Authority; Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (as set forth in Section 8.2(h)(i)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent or Borrower, the authority to release any Collateral conferred upon Agent under clauses (v), (w), (x), (y) and (z) of Section 8.2(h)(i). Upon receipt by Agent of any required confirmation from the Requisite Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to 84 [[6937528]]

evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (y) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Credit Party, in respect of), all interests retained by any Credit Party, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. (iii) Absence of Duty. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the property covered by the Collateral Documents exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 8.2(h) or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the property covered by the Collateral Documents or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in property covered by the Collateral Documents as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders, provided that Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account. (i) Agency for Perfection. Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Collateral Document or to realize upon any collateral security for the Loans unless instructed to do so by Agent in writing, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent. (j) Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and Fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will use reasonable efforts to notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice, unless such notice is with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees, in which case Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Requisite Lenders in accordance with Section 6. Unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders. (k) Lender Actions Against Collateral. Each Lender agrees that it will not take any enforcement action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, with respect to the Loans, against 85 [[6937528]]

Borrower or any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or against any Collateral (including the exercise of any right of set-off) without the consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders. All such Lender enforcement actions and proceedings shall be taken in concert and at the direction and with the consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders. Agent is authorized to issue all notices to be issued by or on behalf of Lenders with respect to any Subordinated Debt. With respect to any action by Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained, and agrees to deliver its Notes to Agent to the extent necessary to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the Collateral Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof. (l) Agent Reports. Each Lender may from time to time receive one or more reports or other information (each, a “Report”) prepared by or on behalf of Agent (or one or more of Agent’s affiliates). With respect to each Report, each Lender hereby agrees that: (i) Agent (and Agent’s affiliates) shall have no duties or obligations in connection with or as a result of a Lender receiving a copy of a Report, which will be provided solely as a courtesy, without consideration. Each Lender will perform its own diligence and will make its own independent investigation of the operations, financial conditions and affairs of the Credit Parties and will not rely on any Report or make any claim that it has done so. In addition, each Lender releases, and agrees that it will not assert, any claim against Agent (or one or more of Agent’s affiliates) that in any way relates to any Report or arises out of a Lender having access to any Report or any discussion of its contents, and each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent (and Agent’s affiliates) and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by such Lender or any of its personnel of this Section or otherwise arising out of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s access to any Report or any discussion of its contents; (ii) Each Report may not be complete and certain information and findings obtained by Agent (or one or more of Agent’s affiliates) regarding the operations and condition of the Credit Parties may not be reflected in each Report. Agent (and Agent’s affiliates) makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to (i) any existing or proposed financing; (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in any Report or in any other related documentation; (iii) the scope or adequacy of Agent’s (and Agent’s affiliates’) due diligence, or the presence or absence of any errors or omissions contained in any Report or in any other related documentation; and (iv) any work performed by Agent (or one or more of Agent’s affiliates) in connection with or using any Report or any related documentation; and (iii) Except as provided by Section 9.13, Each Lender agrees to safeguard each Report and any related documentation with the same care which it uses with respect to information of its own which it does not desire to disseminate or publish, and agrees not to reproduce or distribute or provide copies of or disclose any Report or any other related documentation or any related discussions to anyone. (m) Certain ERISA Matters. (i) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the 86 [[6937528]]

benefit of, Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (A) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement; (B) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; (C) (1) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (2) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (3) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (4) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or (D) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (ii) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (A) in the immediately preceding clause (i) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (D) in the immediately preceding clause (i), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower or any other Credit Party, that Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). 87 [[6937528]]

(n) Credit Product Providers and Credit Product Arrangements. (i) Each Credit Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to Agent of the creation of a Credit Product Arrangement, agrees to be bound by Section 6.5, this Section 8.2(n) and Section 8.2(p). Each Credit Product Provider shall indemnify Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Related Party thereof (each a “Credit Product Indemnitee”) against, and hold harmless each such Credit Product Indemnitee from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel), incurred by any such Credit Product Indemnitee or asserted against any Credit Product Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of such provider’s Credit Product Obligations. (ii) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Credit Product Provider that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 6.5, any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document shall have any voting rights or right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise (including with respect to the release or impairment of any Collateral or notice of or consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Credit Product Obligations arising under Credit Product Arrangements in respect of any payment in full of the Obligations or the Termination Date. Each Credit Product Provider acknowledges and agrees that the Guarantees and the Liens on the Collateral will be released on the Termination Date, notwithstanding that Credit Product Obligations remain outstanding. (o) Additional Agents and Titles. (i) Agent, subject to the consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (not to be unreasonably withheld), shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “book runners,” “lead arrangers,” “arrangers”, “joint lead arrangers” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof. (ii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners or arrangers or agents (other than Agent) listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder. (p) Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that it has made a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, L/C Issuer or other Lender Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by a Credit Party at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each such Person receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Person in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each other Lender Party irrevocably waives any 88 [[6937528]]

and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another), “good consideration”, “change of position” or similar defenses (whether at law or in equity) to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. Agent shall inform each Lender, L/C Issuer or other Lender Party that received a Rescindable Amount promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Person comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. Each Person’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.2(p) shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. (q) Authorization to Enter into Subordination Agreements. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to enter into Subordination Agreements on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement. Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of any Subordination Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Agent to issue blockage notices in connection with the Subordinated Debt at the direction of Agent or the Requisite Lenders. 8.3 Set Off and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance of any such Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to Borrower (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (A) balances held by such Lender at any of its offices for the account of any Credit Party (regardless of whether such balances are then due to any such Credit Party) (excluding any such balances maintained in Excluded Accounts), and (B) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of any such Credit Party, against and on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; except that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure to give notice of any set off and application made by such Lender to Borrower shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Guaranteed Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender entitled to share in the amount so set off in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in a manner consistent with Section 6.5. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Guaranteed Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such amount so set off to Agent for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to share in the amount so set off in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. 8.4 [Reserved]. 8.5 Disbursements of Advances; Payment. (a) Advances; Payments. At least once each calendar month or more frequently at Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, email or fax of the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefits of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Provided that each Lender has funded all payments and Advances required to be made by it and purchased all participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, Agent shall pay to each Lender such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid by or on behalf of Borrower to Agent since the previous Settlement Date for the 89 [[6937528]]

benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s account (as designated by such Lender in writing to Agent on or before the Closing Date or from time to time thereafter or as set forth in the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date. To the extent that any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) has failed to fund all such payments, Advances, any First Amendment Term Loan or any Delayed Draw Term Loan or failed to fund the purchase of all such participations required to be funded or purchased by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding shortfall against that Non-Funding ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from or on behalf of Borrower. (b) Availability of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share. Agent may assume that each Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender and Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit Advance, First Amendment Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loan, as applicable, available to Agent on each Funding Date. If such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, such First Amendment Term Loan Lender or such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall promptly repay such amount to Agent. Nothing in this Section 8.5(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender or to relieve any Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or any Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, as applicable, from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender, such First Amendment Term Loan Lender or such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, as applicable, hereunder. To the extent that Agent advances funds to Borrower and/or Borrower on behalf of any Revolving Lender, any First Amendment Term Loan Lender or any Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Advance, First Amendment Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loan is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Advance, such First Amendment Term Loan or such Delayed Draw Term Loan until reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Lender, First Amendment Term Loan Lender or Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender. (c) Return of Payments. (i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from or on behalf of Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. (ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on 90 [[6937528]]

demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. (d) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Credit Advance or any payment required by it hereunder, to fund any First Amendment Term Loan for which such Lender holds a First Amendment Term Loan Commitment or to fund any Delayed Draw Term Loan for which such Lender holds a Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, in each case, on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Advance, purchase such participation, fund such First Amendment Term Loan or fund such Delayed Draw Term Loan on such date, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance, purchase a participation, fund a First Amendment Term Loan, fund a Delayed Draw Term Loan or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender”, a “Requisite Revolving Lender”, a “Revolving Lender”, “First Amendment Term Loan Lender” or a “Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document. SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS 9.1 Indemnities. The Credit Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, pay, and hold Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys (the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses (including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel to such Indemnitees (limited to one primary counsel for the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if deemed reasonably necessary by Agent, one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and any special counsel (except in the case of a conflict, in which case one additional counsel for each group of Indemnitees similarly situated in respect of such conflict)) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnitees being a party to this Agreement or the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to any of the Related Transactions; provided, that no Credit Party shall have any obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to liabilities to the extent resulting from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee (or any of its commonly controlled affiliates, or its or its commonly controlled affiliates’ respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents and controlling persons) as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) a material breach of the material obligations of such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or (iii) disputes solely among Indemnitees at a time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (excluding, in any event, claims against any such Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Agent or Arranger) or (iv) any settlement of a claim by such Indemnitee without ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, if such claim is settled with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any proceeding related thereto, the Credit Parties shall indemnify such Indemnitee for all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, costs and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment. No party hereto shall have liability to any other party hereto or any Indemnitee on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings); provided that the foregoing shall not limit the obligations of the Credit Parties set forth above with respect to any special, indirect, consequential or 91 [[6937528]]

punitive damages included in any third party claim. This Section 9.1 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 9.2 Amendments and Waivers. (a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Agent and subject to Section 1.11, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (i) by Borrower, (ii) by Requisite Lenders or all directly affected Lenders, as applicable, or (iii) if the rights or duties of Agent, the L/C Issuer, or the Swing Line Lender are affected thereby, then Agent, the L/C Issuer, or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable. Except as set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) below, all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders shall only require the written consent of Requisite Lenders. (b) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement that waives compliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2 to the making of any Revolving Credit Advance (or the issuance of any Letter of Credit) shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Requisite Revolving Lenders and Borrower; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver or consent with respect to any Default or any Event of Default shall be effective for purposes of the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Advances (or the issuance of any Letter of Credit) set forth in Section 7.2 to the extent the written consent of Requisite Lenders has been obtained. (c) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement that waives compliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 to the making of any Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Requisite Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders and Borrower; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver or consent with respect to any Default or any Event of Default shall be effective for purposes of the conditions precedent to the making of Delayed Draw Term Loans, as applicable, set forth in Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 to the extent the written consent of Requisite Lenders has been obtained.

For purposes of determining whether any prepayment in respect of a Term Loan, First Amendment Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loan may be made under Section 1.5(a) or whether proceeds of Collateral or payments must be applied pursuant to Section 1.5(f), no amendment or waiver of any Trigger Event of Default shall be taken into account unless such amendment or waiver shall have been signed by the Requisite Revolving Lenders. Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Agent in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action.

No provision in the Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing to any Credit Party by Agent, L/C Issuer or any Lender. Credit Parties agree that none of Agent, L/C Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to any Credit Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Credit Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless and to the extent that it is determined that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought as determined by a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction.

In the event Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender that will purchase all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and assume its Commitments hereunder, the Affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and delegate all of its obligations under this Agreement to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1, provided that Borrower has reimbursed such Affected Lender for any administrative fee payable pursuant to Section 8.1 and, in any case where such replacement occurs as the result of a demand for payment pursuant to Section 1.8 or 1.9, paid all amounts required to be paid to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 1.8 or 1.9 through the date of such sale and assignment; or (ii) Borrower may, subject to Section 1.5, with Agent’s consent, prepay in full all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and terminate such Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment in which case the applicable Commitment will be reduced by the amount of such Pro Rata Share. Borrower shall, subject to Section 1.5, prepay in full all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender (including, any amounts owing under Section 1.3(b) and, in any case where such prepayment occurs as the result of a demand for payment for increased costs, such Affected Lender’s increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such prepayment), and terminate such Affected Lender’s obligations under the applicable Commitment. (b) In the case of a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to Section 8.5(a), at Borrower’s request, Agent or a Person acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person, all of the Loans and Commitments of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest 99 [[6937528]]

and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing obligation and agreement of any Non-Funding Lender, to the extent such Non-Funding Lender does not execute and deliver the requisite Assignment Agreement within five (5) Business Days of the request therefor, Agent shall be, and each Lender, by execution of this Agreement or any Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ becomes a Lender hereunder, hereby agrees that Agent shall be, fully authorized and empowered to execute any and all such Assignment Agreements on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender necessary to effectuate the foregoing. (c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to Section 9.2 (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this clause (c) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”); then, so long as Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at Borrower’s request Agent, or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent, shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person, all of the Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and Fees and other Obligations owing with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement. 9.20 Delivery of Termination Statements and Mortgage Releases. On the Termination Date, Agent shall, at the request and the sole expense of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, deliver to Borrower termination statements, mortgage releases and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Obligations. 9.21 [Reserved]. 9.22 Joint and Several. The obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are joint and several. 9.23 Press Release.

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 Credit Party to honor all of its payment obligations under the Guaranty and Security Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations under any Rate Contract (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.24 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.24, or otherwise under the Guaranty and Security Agreement, voidable under applicable Requirements of Law 100 [[6937528]]

relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 9.24 shall remain in full force and effect until the guarantees in respect of Swap Obligations under each Rate Contract have been discharged, or otherwise released or terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 9.24 constitute, and this Section 9.24 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 9.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. 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 EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution, and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 9.26 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Stock at such time. SECTION 10. CROSS-GUARANTY 10.1 Cross-Guaranty. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that such Credit Party is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent, the L/C Issuer and Lenders, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Guaranteed Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Agent, the L/C Issuer and Lenders by each other Credit Party. Each Credit Party agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 10 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 10 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by: (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Credit Party is or may become a party; 101 [[6937528]]

(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 10) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent, the L/C Issuer and Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent, the L/C Issuer and Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security); (d) the insolvency of any Credit Party; or (e) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each Credit Party shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder. 10.2 Waivers by Credit Parties. (a) Each Credit Party expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Credit Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Credit Party. (b) To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Credit Party, in its capacity as a Guarantor hereunder or a surety as a result of joint and several obligations hereunder, hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of: (i) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection, or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender; (iii) any defense based upon any failure to disclose to such Credit Party any information concerning the financial condition of any other Credit Party or any other Person or any other circumstances bearing on the ability of any other Credit Party or any other Person to pay and perform all obligations due under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (iv) any failure of Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or disposition of security, including any failure by Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of such security; (v) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal, or that reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligations in proportion to the principal’s obligation; (vi) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vii) any defense based upon an election by Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (viii) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (ix) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender may have against any other Credit Party or any other Person and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security now or hereafter held by Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender for the Guaranteed Obligations; (x) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, including notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations; (xi) the benefit of any statute of 102 [[6937528]]

limitations affecting the liability of any other Credit Party or other Person, enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the liability of any Credit Party hereunder or the enforcement hereof; (xii) relief from any applicable valuation or appraisement laws; (xiii) any other action by Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, whether authorized by this Agreement or otherwise, or any omission by Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender or other failure of Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender to pursue, or delay in pursuing, any other remedy in its power; and (xiv) any and all claims and/or rights of counterclaim, recoupment, setoff or offset. Each Credit Party agrees that the payment and performance of all Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to such Credit Party’s liability hereunder. (c) It is agreed among each Credit Party, Agent, the L/C Issuer and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 10 and such waivers, Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ would decline to enter into this Agreement. 10.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Credit Party agrees that the provisions of this Section 10 are for the benefit of Agent, the L/C Issuer and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and permitted assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Credit Party and Agent, the L/C Issuer or Lenders, the obligations of such other Credit Party under the Loan Documents. 10.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 10.7, each Credit Party hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all Commitments of Agent and/or Lenders to provide further credit have been terminated and all obligations of L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit have been terminated. As further security, any and all debts and liabilities now or hereafter arising and owing by any Credit Party to any other Guarantor are hereby subordinated to Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s claims (including the Guaranteed Obligations) and without the prior written consent of Agent during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, no Guarantor shall demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any Credit Party owing to it until the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) shall have been paid in full in cash and this Agreement shall have terminated; provided that no Guarantor shall have any rights hereunder against any Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries if all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Stock of any Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to a Collateral Document. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of any indebtedness, such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and such Guarantor shall immediately deliver any such amounts to Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 10, and that Agent, L/C Issuer and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 10.4 and that such waivers and agreements shall remain in effect until all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) have been paid in full in cash and all Commitments of Agent, L/C Issuer 103 [[6937528]]

and/or Lenders to provide further credit (and/or issue Letters of Credit), in each case, have been terminated. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Credit Party’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 10, and that Agent, L/C Issuer, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and their respective successors and permitted assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 10.4 and that such waivers and agreements shall remain in effect until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) have been paid in full in cash and all Commitments of Agent and/or Lenders to provide further credit have, in each case, been terminated. This Section 10 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned to Agent or Lenders or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any other Credit Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 10.5 Election of Remedies. If Agent or any Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Agent or such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Credit Party or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 10. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Credit Party hereby consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent or such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Credit Party might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent or such Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party shall not impair any other Credit Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Credit Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Credit Party under this Section 10 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. (c) This Section 10.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Credit Parties and nothing set forth in this Section 10.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Credit Parties, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 10.1. Nothing contained in this Section 10.7 shall limit the liability of any Credit Party to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Credit Party and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Credit Party shall be primarily liable. (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Credit Party to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. (e) The rights of the indemnifying Credit Parties against other Credit Parties under this Section 10.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and payment of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligation for which no unsatisfied claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) and the termination of the Commitments. 10.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Credit Parties under this Section 10 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Credit Party to Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Credit Party is a party or in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations or obligation of the other Credit Party, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. --Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank-- 105 [[6937528]]
