Item 1.01. Entry
Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
February 2, 2024, GYP Holdings III Corp. (the “Company”), an indirect subsidiary of GMS Inc., entered into Amendment No. 7
(the “Term Loan Amendment”), by and among the Company, GYP Holdings II Corp., certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto,
the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. , as the administrative agent and collateral agent. The Term Loan Amendment amends
the Company’s senior secured first lien term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”) to reduce the interest rate applicable
to the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the Term Loan Amendment, the applicable rate for term SOFR loans
under the Term Loan Facility was reduced from a floating rate per annum of Term SOFR (as defined
in the Term Loan Facility) plus 3.00% to a floating rate per annum of Term SOFR plus 2.25% and the applicable rate for base
rate loans under the Term Loan Facility was reduced from a floating rate per annum of the Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Facility)
plus 2.00% to a floating rate per annum of the Base Rate plus 1.25%.
The
foregoing description of the Term Loan Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Term Loan Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. Creation

may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof
by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption
of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice

administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such
component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no
successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(3) a public
statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component
used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or
as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.
For the avoidance of doubt,
a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication
of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component
used in the calculation thereof).

to Consolidated Total Assets for the most recently completed fiscal quarter after the last time such baskets were calculated for any
purpose under Article VII or (y) fluctuations in applicable currency exchange rates after the last time such baskets
were calculated for any purpose under Article VII, such baskets will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result
of such fluctuations; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 1.09 shall otherwise apply
to such baskets, including with respect to determining whether any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disposition, Restricted
Payment or prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction pursuant to Section 7.13 may be incurred or
made at any time under Article VII; provided, further, that, once incurred or made, the amount of such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness,
Disposition, Restricted Payment or prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction pursuant to Section 7.13
shall be always deemed to be at the Dollar amount on such date, regardless of later changes in currency exchange rates.
(b) For
the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision
of the Loan Documents (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, this Term Facility, the ABL Facility and the Senior Notes) under a specific
covenant that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including a test based on the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the
Secured Leverage Ratio and/or the Total Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”), substantially
concurrently with or in the same transaction or series of transactions with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated)
in reliance on a provision of the Loan Documents that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including a test based on the
First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio and/or the Total Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based
Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that (x) the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial
ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts and (y) except as provided in clause (x), pro forma effect
shall be given to the entire transaction and the use of proceeds of all applicable loans and commitments. In addition, for the avoidance
of doubt, any Indebtedness (and associated Liens, subject to the applicable priorities required pursuant to the applicable Incurrence-Based
Amounts), Investments, liquidations, dissolutions, mergers, consolidations, Restricted Payments, any prepayments of Indebtedness
or other transactions permitted hereunder (or, in each case, any portion thereof) incurred or otherwise effected in reliance on Fixed
Amounts shall be automatically and immediately reclassified at any time, unless the Borrower otherwise elects from time to time, as incurred
under the applicable Incurrence-Based Amounts within the same covenant if the Borrower subsequently meets the applicable ratio for such
Incurrence-Based Amounts on a Pro Forma Basis.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of the covenants described in Article VII, if any Indebtedness (excluding,
for the avoidance of doubt, this Term Facility, the ABL Facility and the Senior Notes), Lien, Investment, disposition, Restricted
Payment or Junior Financing payment (or a portion thereof) would be permitted pursuant to one or more provisions described in each applicable
Section, the Borrower may divide and classify such Indebtedness, Lien, Investment, disposition, Restricted Payment or Junior Financing
payment (or a portion thereof) in any manner that complies with the covenants set forth in such Section, and may later divide and reclassify
any such Indebtedness, Lien, Investment, disposition, Restricted Payment or Junior Financing payment so long as the Indebtedness,
Lien, Investment, disposition, Restricted Payment or Junior Financing payment (as so redivided and/or reclassified) would be permitted
to be made in reliance on the applicable exception as of the date of such redivision or reclassification; provided that any such
divisions, classifications, redivisions and/or reclassifications shall only be permitted within a specific type of covenant, and not,
for the avoidance of doubt, across different types of covenants.
1.11 Classification
of Term Loans and Term Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Term Loans may be classified and referred to by Class or
by Type (e.g., a “Term SOFR Loan”). Term Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class or
by Type (e.g., a “Term SOFR Borrowing”).
1.12 Divisions.
Any reference herein to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or
similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of
a limited liability company (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation,
consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any division
of a limited liability company shall constitute a separate Person hereunder (and each division of any limited liability company that
is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity).

with respect to, (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base
Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, or 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 Base Rate, the Term
SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the
effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or
other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Base Rate or a Benchmark, any alternative, successor
or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the
Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate,
any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the 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 in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information
source or service.
1.15 Limited
Condition Transactions. In connection
with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining actual compliance (but not
compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Default
or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall,
at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Default or Event of Default,
as applicable, exists on the date (x) a definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into, (y) in
connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (or any comparable laws, rules or
regulations in any other jurisdiction) applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make
an offer in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction (or the equivalent notice under such comparable laws, rules or
regulations in such other jurisdiction) is made or (z) irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction
and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness is given. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first
sentence of this section, and any Default, Event of Default or specified Default or Event of Default, as applicable, occurs following
the date (x) a definitive agreement for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction was entered into, (y) in
connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (or any comparable laws, rules or
regulations in any other jurisdiction) applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make
an offer in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction (or the equivalent notice under such comparable laws, rules or
regulations in such other jurisdiction) is made or (z) irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction
and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness is given and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default,
Event of Default or specified Default or Event of Default, as applicable, shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes
of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.
In connection with any action
being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:
(a) determining
compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the First Lien Leverage Ratio, Secured Leverage Ratio
or Total Leverage Ratio or any other financial measure;
(b) testing
baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets);
or
(c) any
other determination as to whether any such Limited Condition Transaction and any related transactions (including any financing thereof)
complies with the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;
in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the
Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”),
the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date (x) a definitive
agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into, (x) in connection with an acquisition to which the United
Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (or any comparable laws, rules or regulations in any other jurisdiction) applies, the
date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer in respect of a target of a Limited Condition
Transaction (or the equivalent notice under such comparable laws, rules or regulations in such other jurisdiction) is made or (y) irrevocable
notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness is given, as applicable (the “LCT
Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be
entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or discharge of Indebtedness and Liens and the use of proceeds thereof)
as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending prior to the LCT Test Date
for which consolidated financial statements of Holdings are available, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT
Test Date in compliance with such ratio, basket or amount, such ratio, basket or amount shall be deemed to have been complied with. For
the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, baskets or amounts for which compliance was determined
or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, basket or amount, including due to fluctuations
in exchange rates or in Consolidated EBITDA of Holdings or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction or any applicable
currency exchange rate, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios, baskets or amounts will not
be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition
Transaction, then, in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, basket or amount with respect to the incurrence or discharge
of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Investments, Restricted Payments, Dispositions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant
LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement
for such Limited Condition Transaction (if an acquisition or investment) is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited
Condition Transaction, any such ratio, basket or amount shall be calculated on (x) a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited
Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence or discharge of Indebtedness and Liens
and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and also on (y) an actual basis without giving effect to such Limited
Condition Transactions or the other transactions in connection therewith.
1.15 2023
Cashless Roll. Each 2023 Cashless Term Lender agrees that
on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, all (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may allocate to such 2023 Cashless Term
Lender) of its Existing Term Loans (used in this Section 1.15 as defined in the Sixth Amendment) shall be converted to 2023
Refinancing Term Loans, and all Existing Term Loans shall be deemed repaid in full on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, expenses and other compensation owed to such 2023 Cashless Term Lender in respect of the Existing
Term Loans and due and payable by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents. Any reference in this Agreement to funding of 2023 Refinancing
Term Loans or repayment or refinancing of Existing Term Loans with proceeds of 2023 Refinancing Term Loans shall be deemed to have occurred
with respect to any Existing Term Loans in accordance with the “cashless roll” described in the previous sentence.
Article II
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS
2.01 The
Term Loans.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the 2021 Incremental First Lien Lender (as defined in the Fourth Amendment), in its capacity
as a Term Lender, agrees to make a single term loan denominated in Dollars to the Borrower on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date in
an amount not to exceed the 2021 Incremental First Lien Lender’s Term Commitment. The Term Borrowing shall consist of a Term Loan
made by the 2021 Incremental First Lien in accordance with its Term Commitment. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and
subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as further provided herein.
(b) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each 2023 Refinancing Term Lender hereby agrees to make 2023 Refinancing Term
Loans to the Borrower on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Additional 2023 Refinancing
Term Commitment of such 2023 Refinancing Term Lender and (ii) each 2023 Cashless Term Lender hereby agrees to exchange the entire
aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loans (as defined in the Sixth Amendment) or such lesser amount as the Administrative
Agent may allocate to such 2023 Cashless Term Lender for an equal principal amount of 2023 Refinancing Term Loans. Amounts borrowed under
this Section 2.01(b) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or
Term SOFR Loans, as further provided herein.
(c) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Additional 2023 Refinancing Term Lender agrees to make to the Borrower a loan
denominated in Dollars (together with each loan converted from a Converted 2023 Refinancing Term Loan pursuant to clause (ii) below,
a “2024 Refinancing Term Loan”) on the Seventh Amendment Effective Date equal to the Additional 2024 Refinancing Term
Commitment and (ii) each Converted 2024 Refinancing Term Loan of each Seventh Amendment Consenting Lender shall be converted into
a 2024 Refinancing Term Loan of such Lender effective as of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date in a principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Lender’s Converted 2023 Refinancing Term Loan immediately prior to such conversion; provided that the 2024 Refinancing
Term Loans shall initially consist of Term SOFR Loans with an Interest Period commencing on the Seventh Amendment Effective Date and
ending on February 29, 2024.
2.02 Term
Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Term Loans.
(a) Term
Loans and Incremental First Lien Term Loans. Each Term Borrowing of Term Loans or Incremental First Lien Term Loans, each conversion
of Term Loans or Incremental First Lien Term Loans from a Base Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Loan (or vice versa) and each continuation of
Term SOFR Term Loans or Term SOFR Incremental First Lien Term Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, which may initially be given by telephone and promptly confirmed in writing by delivering to the Administrative
Agent a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, prior to the applicable
time specified in the immediately succeeding sentence. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (A) with
respect to Term Borrowings of Term Loans on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, 11:00 a.m. (New York time) one Business Day prior
to the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, (B) with respect to Term Borrowings of Incremental First Lien Term Loans consisting of Term
SOFR Loans, conversions of Term Loans or Incremental First Lien Term Loans from one Type to the other and each continuation of Term SOFR
Loans, 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Term Borrowing, conversion or
continuation or (C) with respect to Term Borrowings of Incremental First Lien Term Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans, 11:00 a.m. (New
York time) one (1) Business Day before the requested date of such Term Borrowing. Not later than 12:30 p.m. (New York Time)
three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such Term Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the
Lenders. Each Term Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Term Borrowing of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify
(1) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing of Term Loans or Incremental First Lien Term Loans, a conversion of Term
Loans or Incremental First Lien Term Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Term SOFR Loans, (2) the requested date
of such Term Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (3) the principal amount
of Term Loans or Incremental First Lien Term Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (4) the Type of Term Loans or Incremental
First Lien Term Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans or Incremental First Lien Term Loans are to be converted and (5) if
applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Term Loan or Incremental
First Lien Term Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation,
then the applicable Term Loans or Incremental First Lien Term Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Term SOFR Loans. If the Borrower requests a Term Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans in any such Committed
Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.
(b) Following
receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of
the Term Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). Each Lender shall
make the amount of its Term Loan or Incremental First Lien Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds
at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon (New York Time) on the Business Day specified in the applicable
Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Term Borrowing
is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the
Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions
provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.
(c) Except
as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term
SOFR Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an
Event of Default, no Term Loans may be converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans and the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent
acting with the consent of the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Term Loans be prepaid and/or any or
all of the then outstanding Term SOFR Loans be converted into Base Rate Loans, in each case on the last day of the then current Interest
Period with respect thereto or such other day as the Required Lenders may demand.
(d) The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period
for Term SOFR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of Term SOFR and the Term SOFR Reference Rate by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following
the announcement of such change.
(e) After
giving effect to all Term Borrowings or all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations to Term Loans
of the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect.
(f) The
failure of any Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by it as part of any Term Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Term Loan on the date of such Term Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure
of any other Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Term Borrowing.
2.03 Prepayments.
(a) Optional.
(i) The
Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class of Term Loans
or Incremental First Lien Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (subject to Section 2.03(d)); provided
that (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York Time), (x) three
(3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Loans and (y) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of
prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (b) any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (c) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) and Class(es) of Term Loans to be prepaid and, if Term SOFR
Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Term Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable
Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment
and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Term SOFR
Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
Subject to Section 2.13, each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall
be applied in direct order of maturities to the principal repayment installments (or proportional fractions thereof) applicable to each
of the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.05(a) or as otherwise directed by the Borrower; and each such prepayment shall
be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. All prepayments under this Section 2.03(a)(i) shall
be subject to Section 2.03(d).
(ii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.03(a)(i) if
such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Term Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise
be delayed.
(iii) Voluntary
Non-Pro-Rata Prepayments.
(A) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, any Borrower Purchasing Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Class of
Term Loans at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”)
without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 3.05) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.03(a)(iii),
provided that, on the date of any such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, such Borrower Purchasing Party shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating (1) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (after giving effect to any related waivers or amendments obtained in connection with
such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment), (2) that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this
Section 2.03(a)(iii) has been satisfied, (3) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid pursuant to
such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and (4) that such Borrower Purchasing Party does not have any material non-public information
with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities that either (A) has not
been disclosed to the Lenders (other than Lenders that do not wish to receive such information) or has not otherwise been disseminated
in a manner making it available to investors generally, within the meaning of Regulation FD, prior to such time or (B) if not disclosed
to the Lenders, could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, Holdings, the Borrower and
the Restricted Subsidiaries.
(B) To
the extent any Borrower Purchasing Party seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, such Borrower Purchasing Party will provide
written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (each, a “Discounted
Prepayment Option Notice”) that such Borrower Purchasing Party desires to prepay Term Loans in each case in an aggregate
principal amount specified therein by such Borrower Purchasing Party (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”),
in each case at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of Term
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Discounted Prepayment Option
Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment: (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment
Amount for the Term Loans, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by such Borrower Purchasing Party with
respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of Term Loans (the “Discount
Range”); provided that such Borrower Purchasing Party may elect not to include a Discount Range in the Discounted
Prepayment Option Notice and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed
Discounted Voluntary Prepayment which shall be at least five (5) Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option
Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).
(C) Upon
receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify all Term Lenders. On or prior to the
Acceptance Date, each such Term Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto (each,
a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable
Discount”), which Acceptable Discount shall be within the Discount Range, if the Discount Range is specified in the Discounted
Prepayment Option Notice (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value
of the Term Loans to be prepaid), and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative
Agent) of Term Loans held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at
the Acceptable Discount (the “Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of the
Offered Loans specified by the Lenders in the applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower
Purchasing Party, acting jointly, shall determine the applicable discount for the Term Loans (the “Applicable Discount”),
which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by such Borrower Purchasing Party if such Borrower Purchasing Party
has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii)(B) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise,
the highest Acceptable Discount at which such Borrower Purchasing Party can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined
by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided,
however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount,
the Applicable Discount shall be (x) the highest Acceptable Discount within the Discount Range or (y) if no Discount Range
was specified in the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the highest Acceptable Discount acceptable to such Borrower Purchasing Party.
The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and
have Qualifying Loans. Any Lender with outstanding Term Loans whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative
Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at
any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.
(D) The
applicable Borrower Purchasing Party shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans (or the respective portions
thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to
or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount, provided that
if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount
of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying
the Applicable Discount, such Borrower Purchasing Party shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based
on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent).
If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than
the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, in each case calculated by applying the
Applicable Discount, such Borrower Purchasing Party shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.
(E) Each
Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount
and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 3.05),
upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment
Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon (New York Time), one (1) Business Day prior
to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment
and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified
in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Qualifying Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Term
Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the
amount prepaid.
(F) To
the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including
as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(iii)(C) above)
established by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party.
(G) Prior
to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) the applicable
Borrower Purchasing Party may withdraw its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option
Notice and (B) any Lender may withdraw its offer to participate in a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation
Notice.
(H) For
the avoidance of doubt, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be an automatic and
immediate cancellation and extinguishment of the Term Loans prepaid. With respect to each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (1) the
applicable Borrower Purchasing Party shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the par principal amount of the applicable
Term Loans to the date of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and, if any Term SOFR Loan is prepaid on a date other than the scheduled
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower Purchasing Party shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.05
and (2) such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall not change the scheduled amortization of the Term Loans required by Section 2.05,
except to reduce the amount outstanding and due and payable on the Maturity Date of the Class of Term Loans subject to such Discounted
Voluntary Prepayment (and such reduction, for the avoidance of doubt, shall only apply, on a non-pro-rata basis, to the Term Loans that
are the subject of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment).
(iv) In
connection with any voluntary prepayment of any Class of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a), such voluntary
prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term SOFR Loans, in each case in
a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05.
(b) Mandatory.
(i) Within
five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related
Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), but in any event not later than one hundred and twenty-five
(125) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower beginning with the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024, the Borrower
shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) 50% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the proviso
below) of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements commencing with the fiscal year ending April 30,
2024 minus (B) the aggregate amount of voluntary principal prepayments of (x) the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i) and
(y) the ABL Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) of the ABL Facility (but only to the extent accompanied by a corresponding
permanent reduction in the revolving credit commitments), minus (C) the aggregate discounted amount actually paid in cash
by the Borrower Purchasing Parties in connection with all Discounted Voluntary Prepayments pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii),
minus (D) the aggregate payments made by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Capital Expenditures,
Permitted Acquisitions or other Investments pursuant to Section 7.02 (in the case of clauses (B), (C) and (D),
to the extent financed with internally generated funds); provided that such percentage shall be reduced to 25% or 0% if the Total
Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the prior fiscal year was less than 5.50:1.00 or 5.00:1.00, respectively.
(ii) (A) If
(x) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of (i) assets
comprising the ABL Priority Collateral or (ii) any property or assets by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted
by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h), (i), (j), (k),
(l), (n) or (p)) or (y) any Casualty Event (other than any Casualty Event with respect to assets comprising
the ABL Priority Collateral) occurs, and the transaction or series of related transactions described in the foregoing clauses (x) and
(y) (each a “Relevant Transaction”), together with all other Relevant Transactions occurring in
the same fiscal year of the Borrower, results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash
Proceeds in excess of the greater of $50,000,000 and 1.5% of the Consolidated Total Assets, the Borrower shall, except to the extent
the Borrower elects to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(ii)(B) (which
election may only be made if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing), prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received from such Relevant Transaction within two (2) Business Days of receipt
thereof by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary.
(B) With
respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition or any Casualty Event (other than as specifically
excluded in Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A)), at the option of the Borrower, and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in
assets useful for its business within four hundred and fifty (450) days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if Holdings,
the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has contractually committed within 450 days following receipt of such
Net Cash Proceeds to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds, 630 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds); provided, however,
that if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election,
an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.03.
(iii) Upon
the incurrence or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Specified Refinancing Debt or any Indebtedness
not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal
amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrower
or such Restricted Subsidiary.
(iv) Subject
to Sections 2.12(b)(ii) and 2.13, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall
be applied pro rata among the Term Facility and, unless otherwise provided in the documentation governing any Incremental First Lien
Term Loans, any Incremental First Lien Term Loans (or, in the case of the incurrence of Specified Refinancing Debt, to the Term Facility
or an Incremental First Lien Term Facility, as designated by the Borrower, to be refinanced with the proceeds thereof and allocated among
the Term Facility or such Incremental First Lien Term Facilities, as specified by the Borrower) (and within any Class of the Term
Facility and the Incremental First Lien Term Loans on a pro rata basis to the applicable Lenders of such Class) and (i) in the case
of the Term Facility, to the principal repayment installments thereof, in direct order of maturities, to the remaining installments of
each Class of the Term Facility, or as otherwise directed by the Borrower to the remaining installments of each Class of the
Term Facility, and (ii) in the case of each Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche, as set forth in the Incremental First Lien
Term Commitments Amendment with respect to such Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche; and each such prepayment shall be paid to the
Term Lenders and the Incremental First Lien Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(v) Funding
Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.03 shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment
of a Term SOFR Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Term SOFR
Loan pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of Section 2.03(b), so long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.03(b),
other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such
prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which
time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan
Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.03(b). Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by
or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans in accordance
with this Section 2.03(b).
(vi) Foreign
Dispositions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.03, (i) to the extent that any of or all the
Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) or Excess Cash Flow
attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the
portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or such Excess Cash Flow so affected (any such portion being “Restricted Proceeds”)
will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.03(b) but may be retained
by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United
States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions required by the applicable
local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such Restricted Proceeds is permitted under the applicable
local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Restricted Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event
not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a
result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) and (ii) to the extent that
the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition (other
than a Disposition by a Canadian Subsidiary) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries (other than a Canadian Subsidiary)
would have material adverse tax cost consequences with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or such portion of the Excess Cash Flow, as
the case may be, such Net Cash Proceeds or portion of the Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be, so affected may be retained by the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any such Net Cash Proceeds
or portion of Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be, so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or
prepayments pursuant to Section 2.03(b), the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or such portion of
Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be, to such reinvestments or prepayments, as applicable, as if such Net Cash Proceeds or such portion
of the Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be, had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less, in the case
of such Net Cash Proceeds only, the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds
had been repatriated.
(vii) If
there are no Declining Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(c) in connection with any prepayment of any Class of Term
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), such prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof
before application to Term SOFR Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05.
(c) Term
Opt-out. With respect to any prepayment of the Term Facility and the Incremental First Lien Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(b) (other
than prepayments pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(iii)), any Term Lender or Incremental First Lien Lender, at its option, may
elect not to accept such prepayment; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such Term Lender or Incremental First Lien
Lender may elect to accept a partial prepayment. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such prepayment of the Term Facility
and the Incremental First Lien Term Loans, the amount of the prepayment that is available to prepay the Term Loans and the Incremental
First Lien Term Loans (the “Prepayment Amount”) shall be deposited in a Cash Collateral Account, pending application
of such amount on the Prepayment Date as set forth below and promptly after the date of such receipt, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Term Lenders and the Incremental First Lien Lenders of the amount available to prepay the Term Loans and the Incremental First
Lien Lenders and the date on which such prepayment shall be made (the “Prepayment Date”), which date shall
be ten (10) Business Days after the date of such receipt. Any Lender declining such prepayment (a “Declining Lender”)
shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Prepayment Date. On the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to that portion of the Prepayment Amount accepted by the Term Lenders and the
Incremental First Lien Lenders other than the Declining Lenders (such Lenders being the “Accepting Lenders”)
to prepay Term Loans and the Incremental First Lien Lenders owing to such Accepting Lenders shall be withdrawn from the applicable Cash
Collateral Account and applied ratably to prepay Term Loans and Incremental First Lien Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders in
the manner described in Section 2.03(b) for such prepayment. Any amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay
Term Loans or Incremental First Lien Term Loans owing to Declining Lenders shall instead be retained by the Borrower and increase the
Cumulative Credit (such amounts, “Declined Amounts”).
(d) Prepayment
Premium. (x) Any optional prepayment of any portion of the outstanding Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i) in
connection with a Repricing Transaction (including any mandatory assignment pursuant to Section 3.07 in connection
therewith) and (y) any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(iii) in connection with a
Repricing Transaction or any amendment to this Agreement in connection with a Repricing Transaction (in each case including any
mandatory assignment pursuant to Section 3.07 in connection therewith), in each case of clause (x) and clause
(y) on or prior to the date that is six months following the SixthSeventh Amendment
Effective Date shall be subject to a premium equal to the principal amount of Term Loans subject to such prepayment or the principal
amount of Term Loans affected by such amendment (or mandatorily assigned in connection therewith), as applicable, multiplied by 1%.
Any prepayment of all or any portion of the outstanding Term Loans on or after the date that is six months following the SixthSeventh Amendment
Effective Date shall not be subject to a premium.
2.04 Termination
or Reduction of Term Commitments.
(a) Optional.
The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused portions of the Term Commitments, or from time
to time permanently reduce the unused portions of the Term Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received
by the Administrative Agent five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction and (ii) any such partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent, in each case, for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, any
fees on the amount of the Term Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.
(b) Mandatory.
The aggregate Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero after the making of the Term Borrowing, if any,
on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date.
(c) Application
of Commitment Reductions. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions
of the Term Commitments under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Term Commitments under the Term Facility, the
Term Commitment of each Lender under such Term Facility shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which
such Term Facility is reduced (other than the termination of the Term Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07).
2.05 Repayment
of Term Loans.
(a) Term
Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term Lenders the aggregate principal amount
of all Term Loans outstanding in consecutive quarterly installments as follows (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be
reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Sections 2.03
and 2.04, or be increased as a result of any increase in the amount of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12 (such increased
amortization payments to be calculated in the same manner (and on the same basis) as the schedule set forth below for the Term Loans
made as of the SixthSeventh Amendment
Effective Date)), with each such installment due and payable on each date set forth below (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on
the immediately preceding Business Day):

provided,
however, that the final principal repayment installment of each Class of Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date
for such Class of Term Loans and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of
such Class outstanding on such date.
(b) Incremental
First Lien Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Incremental First Lien
Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental First Lien Term Loans outstanding of each Incremental First Lien Term Loan
Tranche in such installments as set forth in the Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment with respect to such Incremental First
Lien Term Loan Tranche (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments
in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Sections 2.03 and 2.04, or be increased as a result of any increase
in the amount of Incremental First Lien Term Loans of such Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche pursuant to Section 2.12
(such increased amortization payments to be calculated in the same manner (and on the same basis) as the schedule set forth in the
applicable Incremental First Lien Term Commitment Amendment for the Incremental First Lien Term Loans made as of the initial Incremental
First Lien Term Commitments Effective Date with respect to such Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche)).
2.06 Interest.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.06(b), (i) each Term SOFR Loan that is a Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the greater of (x) Term
SOFR for such Interest Period and (y) 0.00%, plus (B) the Applicable Rate for Term SOFR Loans that are Term Loans; and
(ii) each Base Rate Loan that is a Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the greater of (x) 0.00% and (y) the Base Rate,
plus (B) the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans that are Term Loans.
(b) During
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (f), the Borrower shall
pay interest on the principal amount of all overdue First Lien Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at
all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts
(including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest
on each Term Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may
be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before
and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.07 Fees.
(a) The
Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the
amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever.
(b) The
Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.
Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
2.08 Computation
of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (when Base Rate
is determined based on the Prime Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) or three hundred and
sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis
of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid
than if computed on the basis of a three hundred and sixty-five (365) day year). Interest shall accrue on each Term Loan for the day
on which the Term Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Term Loan or such
portion is paid, provided, that any Term Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a),
bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2.09 Evidence
of Indebtedness.
(a) The
Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the ordinary
course of business. The accounts or records maintained by each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the
amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or
any error in doing so shall not, however, limit the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the
First Lien Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register, the
Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such
Lender’s Term Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the
date, Type (if applicable), Class (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Term Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b) Entries
made in good faith by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.09(a), shall be prima facie evidence
of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure of such Lender to make an entry, or any finding
that an entry is incorrect, in such account or accounts shall not limit the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
2.10 Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a) General.
Subject to Section 3.01, all payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to
the Administrative Agent, in each case, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York Time). The Administrative
Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share in respect of the Term Facility (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York Time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable
interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day,
payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees,
as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Term
SOFR Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(b) (i) Funding
by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to
12:00 noon (New York Time) on the date of a Term Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s share of such Term Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such
date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Term Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to
the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (x) in the case of a payment to be made by such
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged
by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (y) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same
or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower
for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Term Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Term Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to
any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii) Payments
by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender, 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 the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender
or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.10(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(c) Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Term Loan to be made by
such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower
by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied
or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such
Lender) to such Lender on demand, without interest.
(d) Obligations
of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.07
are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Term Loan or to make any payment under Section 9.07
on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Term Loan or to make its payment under Section 9.07.
(e) Funding
Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Term Loan in any particular place or manner
or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Term Loan in any particular place
or manner.
(f) Insufficient
Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second,
toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
then due to such parties.
(g) Unallocated
Funds. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the First Lien Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect
of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied,
the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Term Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of
such of the outstanding Term Loans or other First Lien Obligations then owing to such Lender.
2.11 Sharing
of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein (including the application of funds arising from the existence
of a Defaulting Lender), any Lender shall obtain on account of the Term Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof,
such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Term Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect
of such Term Loans, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment
is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each
other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of
the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from
another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject
to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence
of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.11 and will in each case notify the Lenders following
any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall from and
after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with
respect to the portion of the First Lien Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner
of the First Lien Obligations purchased. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply
to the prepayments pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii), or Section 2.03(b)(iii) (out of proceeds of the Specified
Refinancing Debt), the implementation of the Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment or to the assignments and participations
described in Section 10.07.
2.12 Incremental
First Lien Term Facilities.
(a) Upon
written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), at any time after the Sixth Amendment Effective
Date, the Borrower may request one or more additional tranches of term loans (each an “Incremental First Lien Term Commitment”
and all of them, collectively, the “Incremental First Lien Term Commitments”); provided no Lender shall
be required to participate in any Incremental First Lien Facility; and provided, further that after giving effect to any
such addition, the aggregate amount of Incremental First Lien Term Commitments that have been added pursuant to this Section 2.12
(together with the aggregate amount of Permitted Other First Lien Indebtedness incurred in lieu of the Incremental First Lien Term
Facilities pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof shall not exceed (x) the greater of (i) $500,000,000
and (ii) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended four (4) consecutive fiscal quarter period ending on or prior
to such date for which financial statements have been delivered, plus (y) such additional amount that would not, after giving
effect on a Pro Forma Basis to the incurrence thereof cause the First Lien Leverage Ratio (without netting the cash and Cash Equivalents
constituting proceeds of the applicable Incremental First Lien Term Facilities) as at the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter
of the Borrower for which financial statements are available to exceed (I) 3.50:1.00 or (II) if the Incremental First Lien
Term Facility is incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition, the First Lien Leverage Ratio immediately preceding the incurrence of such
Incremental First Lien Term Facility and consummation of such Permitted Acquisition, and any such addition shall be in an aggregate amount
of not less than $20,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, plus (z) the principal amount of any
voluntary prepayment of Term Loans or other loans secured on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Obligations prior to such date (but
solely to the extent financed with internally generated funds and accompanied by a permanent reduction in the Term Commitments or the
commitments thereof). The Borrower may incur Incremental First Lien Term Commitments pursuant to either clause (x), clause
(y) or clause (z) of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence and shall not be obligated to initially
incur Incremental First Lien Term Commitments pursuant to clause (x) prior to incurring any Incremental First Lien Term Commitments
pursuant to clause (y) or clause (z); provided, further, that any Incremental First Lien Term Commitments
incurred pursuant to clause (x) or clause (z) concurrently with, or in a single transaction or series of related
transaction with such amounts incurred pursuant to clause (y) shall not count as Indebtedness for the purposes of calculating
the applicable ratio pursuant to clause (y); provided, further, that any portion of any Incremental First Lien Term Commitments
incurred pursuant to clause (x) or clause (z) shall be automatically reclassified as incurred under clause
(y) at such time that the Borrower meets the applicable ratio test under clause (y). Any loans made in respect of any
such Incremental First Lien Term Commitments (the “Incremental First Lien Term Loans”) may be made, at the
option of the Borrower, by either (i) increasing the Term Commitments with the same terms (including pricing) as the existing Term
Loans, in which case such Incremental First Lien Term Loans shall constitute Term Loans for all purposes hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents or (ii) creating a new tranche of term loans (an “Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche”,
and increases of the Term Commitments pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), each an “Incremental
First Lien Term Facility”). The Incremental First Lien Term Facilities shall rank pari passu in right of payment
and in respect of lien priority as to the Collateral with the outstanding Term Loans under the Term Facility or any other Incremental
First Lien Term Facility. The proceeds of the Incremental First Lien Term Facilities shall be used for working capital, capital expenditures
and other general corporate purposes (including any actions permitted by Article VII, including permitted Restricted Payments)
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries.
(b) The
Incremental First Lien Term Loans comprising each Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche:
(i) shall
have a maturity date that is not prior to the Latest Maturity Date of all Classes of Term Loans then in effect and will have a Weighted
Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than that of the Term Loans;
(ii) shall
share ratably (and may not share more than ratably) in any prepayments of the Term Facility (unless the Incremental First Lien Lenders
with respect to such Incremental First Lien Term Loans agree to receive prepayments after the prepayments of the Term Facility or any
other Incremental First Lien Term Loans);
(iii) except
as set forth in Section 2.12(a) and this Section 2.12(b) with respect to prepayment events, maturity
date, interest rate, yield, fees and original issue discounts and except with respect to the amortization schedule for the Incremental
First Lien Term Loans and the permitted use of proceeds thereof, shall have terms substantially the same terms as (and in any event no
more favorable than) the outstanding Term Loans (and to the extent materially differing from the terms of the outstanding Term Loans,
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); provided that if the initial yield (as determined by the Administrative
Agent as set forth below) on any Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche incurred on or prior to the date that is 12 months following
the Sixth Amendment Effective Date exceeds by more than 75 basis points (the amount of such excess above 75 basis points being herein
referred to as the “Yield Differential”) the yield then in effect for outstanding Term Loans (such yield, in
the case of each of such Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche and the Term Loans, for purposes of this proviso being deemed to include
all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount paid by the Borrower generally to the Lenders who provide such Incremental First
Lien Term Loan Tranche or to the Lenders who provided the outstanding Term Loans in the primary syndication thereof based on an assumed
four-year life to maturity), then the Applicable Rate then in effect for outstanding Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the
Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Incremental First Lien Term Loans under the Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche.
For purposes of clause (iii) above,
the initial yield on any Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche shall be determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the
sum of (x) the interest rate margin for loans under the Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche that bear interest based on Term
SOFR (for the avoidance of doubt, including Term SOFR and the margin or spread) and (y) if the Incremental First Lien Term Loan
Tranche is originally advanced at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from Holdings or the
Borrower for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche,
being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life
to maturity of the Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche and (B) four; provided that for purposes of clause (x) above,
if either the lowest permissible Term SOFR or the lowest permissible Base Rate, in each case applicable to such Incremental First Lien
Term Loan Tranche, is greater than 0.00%, the difference between such “floor” and 0.00% shall be equated to interest rate
margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin under the existing Term Facility shall be required,
to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the existing Term Facility would cause an increase in the interest rate then
in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the existing Term Facility
shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of clause
(iii) above shall not apply to any Incremental First Lien Term Loans (i) incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition,
(ii) in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding an amount equal to Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal
quarters most recently ended prior to the determination date for which financials have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or
(b), (iii) with a maturity date that is at least one year after than the then Latest Maturity Date of all Classes of Term
Loans, (iv) denominated in a currency other than Dollars or (v) that constitute customary bridge facilities.
(c) Each
notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the Incremental
First Lien Term Commitments. At the time of the sending of such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent)
shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business
Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Incremental First Lien Term Loans (or any portion thereof) may be made
by any existing Lender or by any other bank or investing entity (but in no case (i) by any Loan Party, (ii) an Affiliated Lender,
(iii) by any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) by any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would
constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in clause (iii), or (v) by any natural person) (each, except to the extent
excluded pursuant to the foregoing parenthetical, an “Incremental First Lien Lender”), in each case on terms
permitted in this Section and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that the Administrative
Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Incremental First Lien Lender’s, as the
case may be, making such Incremental First Lien Term Loans if such consent would be required under Section 10.07 for an assignment
of Term Loans, to such Lender or Incremental First Lien Lender, as the case may be. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental
First Lien Term Loans unless it so agrees. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it
agrees to provide an Incremental First Lien Term Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its
Pro Rata Share of such requested increase (which shall be calculated on the basis of the amount of the funded and unfunded exposure under
the Term Facility held by each Lender). Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide
an Incremental First Lien Term Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses
to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible
Assignees to become Term Lenders pursuant to an accession agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.
(d) Incremental
First Lien Term Commitments shall become Term Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental
First Lien Term Commitments Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings,
the Borrower, each Lender, as the case may be agreeing to provide such Term Commitment, if any, each Incremental First Lien Lender, if
any, and the Administrative Agent. An Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders,
effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect
the provisions of this Section.
(e) If
any Incremental First Lien Term Commitments are added in accordance with this Section 2.12, the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective Date”)
and the final allocation of such addition. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation
of such addition and the Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective Date.
(f) The
effectiveness of any Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent,
each Lender party thereto, if any, and the Incremental First Lien Lenders, if any, with respect to the conditions set forth in clauses
(ii)(A) and (ii)( C) below as set forth in the last paragraph of this clause (f), be subject to the
satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the following conditions:
(i) the
Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to the Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective Date each of the following,
each dated the applicable Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective Date unless otherwise indicated or agreed to by the Administrative
Agent and each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (A) the applicable Incremental First Lien
Term Commitments Amendment; (B) certified copies of resolutions of each Loan Party approving the execution, delivery and performance
of the Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment and either certified copies of the Organization Documents of each Loan Party
or a certification by a Responsible Officer of each Loan Party that there have been no changes to the Organization Documents of such
Loan Party since the Sixth Amendment Effective Date (or the date such Person became a Loan Party); (C) to the extent requested by
the Administrative Agent, a Mortgage modification or a new Mortgage with respect to each Mortgaged Property and the related documents,
agreements and instruments (including legal opinions) set forth in Sections 6.12(a)(iii) and 6.12(a)(iv), which
Mortgage modification, new Mortgage and related documents, agreements and instruments (including legal opinions) may, if agreed to by
the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, be delivered within sixty (60) days of the date of effectiveness of the applicable Incremental
First Lien Term Commitments Amendment (or such longer period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); and (D) a
favorable opinion of counsel for the Loan Parties dated the Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective Date, to the extent requested
by the Administrative Agent, addressed to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent;
(ii) (A) the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 shall have been satisfied both before and after giving effect to such Incremental
First Lien Term Commitments Amendment and the additional credit extensions provided thereby, (B) such increase shall be made on
the terms and conditions provided for above, and (C) both at the time of any request for Incremental First Lien Term Commitments
and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at
the time that any such Incremental Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event of Default shall exist; and
(iii) there
shall have been paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including any Person becoming
a Lender as part of such Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment on the related Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective
Date), as applicable, all fees and, to the extent required by Section 10.04, expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket
fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) that are due and payable on or before the Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective
Date.
If the proceeds of any Incremental
First Lien Term Facility will be used to consummate a Permitted Acquisition and the terms of the definitive acquisition agreement (the
“Subject Acquisition Agreement”) in respect thereof so require, (x) the condition that, at the time of
any request for Incremental First Lien Term Commitments and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment
and at the time that any such Incremental Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto), no Default or Event of Default shall exist
and (y) the condition that the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article V
or any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or
warranty is already qualified by materiality) at the time that any such Incremental Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto), may
in each case of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) be waived by the lenders under such Incremental First Lien
Term Facility without the consent of any other Lenders.
(g) On
each Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective Date, each Lender or Eligible Assignee which is providing an Incremental First
Lien Term Commitment (i) shall become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) shall
have an Incremental First Lien Term Commitment which shall become a “Term Commitment” hereunder and (iii) in the case
of an Incremental First Lien Term Commitment, shall make an Incremental First Lien Term Loan to the Borrower in a principal amount equal
to such Incremental First Lien Term Commitment, and such Incremental First Lien Term Loan shall be a “Term Loan” for all
purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except that the interest rate applicable to any Incremental First Lien Term
Loan under an Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche may be higher or lower).
(h) This
Section 2.12 shall supersede any provision of Section 2.11 or Section 10.01 to the contrary.
2.13 Defaulting
Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i) that
Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted
as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders” in Section 1.01 and in Section 10.01; and
(ii) any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative
Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the
Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Term
Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by
the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account
and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Term Loans
under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations
under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise
directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of
any Term Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Term Loans were
made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely
to pay the Term Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Term Loans of such
Defaulting Lender until such time as all Term Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Term Commitments. Any payments,
prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender
irrevocably consents hereto.
(b) If
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed
to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in
such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding
Term Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause
the Term Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon that Lender will cease
to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made
by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.14 Interest
Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated
on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar
year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee
rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the
principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest
stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
Article III
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that, if any Taxes are required by applicable law
(as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) to be deducted from such payments, then (i) in the
case of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required
deductions of Indemnified Taxes (including any such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01)
each Agent and Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In
addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, except
for Other Taxes resulting from an assignment by any Lender pursuant to Section 10.07, which assignment is not at the request
of the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.07.
(c) The
Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent and Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid or payable by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or
on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any Other Taxes paid
or payable by such Agent or Lender (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section 3.01) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and the calculation of the amount of such liability delivered to the Borrower
by a Lender or Agent, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender or Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) As
soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative 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 the
Administrative Agent.
(e) If
any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01,
it shall promptly remit such refund (without interest, other than any interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to
such refund) to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid under this Section 3.01
with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender
or Agent, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case
may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxation
authority) in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case
may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the
requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided, that such Lender or Agent may delete any
information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e),
in no event will any Lender or Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) the
payment of which would place such Lender or Agent in a less favorable net after-tax position than it would have been in if the Indemnified
Tax or Other Tax giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or
additional amounts with respect thereto had never been paid. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent
to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit or oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to disclose any
information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would
prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
(f) Each
Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (c) with
respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall
internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid or reduce to the greatest extent possible any
indemnification or additional amounts due under this Section 3.01, which may include the designation of another Lending Office
for any Term Loan affected by such event; provided, that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided,
further, that nothing in this Section 3.01(f) shall affect or postpone any of the First Lien Obligations of the
Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Sections 3.01(a) and (c).
(g) (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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition,
any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed
by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. 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 3.01(g)(ii) below)
shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such
Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender.
(ii) Each
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to
the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, two accurate and complete originally executed copies of (i) IRS Form W-8BEN
or W-8BEN-E (or the applicable successor form) certifying exemption from or a reduction in the rate of United States federal withholding
tax under an applicable treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) certifying that
the income receivable pursuant to the Loan Documents is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States,
(iii) IRS Form W-8EXP or W-8IMY (or successor form), together with required attachments, certifying exemption from or reduction
in the rate of United States federal withholding tax, or (iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from United States
federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,”
IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or the applicable successor form) together with a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit N.
Each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity
of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form (or any other
form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose). Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(g),
the term “Foreign Lender” shall include any Agent that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.
(iii) Any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any
other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(h) Each
Lender and Agent that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, to the
extent it is legally able to do so, furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date it becomes a party
to this Agreement, two accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that such
Lender or Agent is not subject to United States backup withholding tax.
(i) If
a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such
Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed
by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with
their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(i), “FATCA” shall
include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.
(j) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of
all other First Lien Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of this Section 3.01
and Section 9.01, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
3.02 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for
any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Term Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the
Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or the Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference
Rate, Term SOFR or the Term SOFR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate
Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining
Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate
on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon
demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender
to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined
by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest
rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or the Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of
such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative
Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon
SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or the Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid
the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
3.03 Inability
to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 3.09, if (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means
do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis),
for such Interest Period; or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing, Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, in the event of a determination described in the
preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining
the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term Borrowing of, conversion to
or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Term Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been
converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 3.09,
if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR”
cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate for Base Rate Loans shall be determined by
the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative
Agent revokes such determination.
3.04 Increased
Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.
(a) If
any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any Change in Law, in each case after the Closing Date, or such Lender’s
compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any
Term Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR (or, in the case of any Change in Law with respect to Taxes,
any Term Loan), or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding
for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified
Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document and Other Taxes (as to
which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) Excluded Taxes (other than clause (a)(ii) of the definition of Excluded
Taxes), (iii) Connection Income Taxes, and (iv) [reserved]), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth
in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06),
the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
(b) If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital
of, or increasing the liquidity required to be maintained by, such Lender or any holding company of such Lender, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement and the Term Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction or increase suffered.
(c) The
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or (b) for any such increased
cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower
of its intention to demand, compensation therefor; provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction
is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
3.05 Funding
Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate
such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any
assignment pursuant to Section 3.07, continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Term Loan other than a Base Rate
Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Term Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of
acceleration, or otherwise); or
(b) any
failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Term Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert
any Term Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;
including any loss or expense arising from the
liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Term Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which
such funds were obtained.
3.06 Matters
Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.
(a) A
certificate of any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount
or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or
such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(b) With
respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not
be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such
Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such
increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period
to another Term SOFR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Term SOFR Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request
ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided, that
such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(c) If
the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any Term SOFR Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans
into Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Term SOFR Loans shall
be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Term SOFR
Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and,
unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03
or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i) to
the extent that such Lender’s Term SOFR Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise
be applied to such Lender’s Term SOFR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii) all
Term Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Term SOFR Loans shall be made
or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Term SOFR Loans
shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
(d) If
any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03
or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Term SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06
no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Term SOFR Loans
made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of
the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Term SOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect
thereto, all Term Loans held by the Lenders holding Term SOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts,
interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Term Commitments.
3.07 Replacement
of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.
(a) If
at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01
or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Term SOFR Loans as a result
of any condition described in Section 3.02 or 3.03, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iii) any
Lender becomes a “Non-Consenting Lender” (as defined below in this Section 3.07) or (iv) any Lender is an
Ineligible Assignee, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, on five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice
to the Administrative Agent and such Lender (or such lesser time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), replace such Lender by
causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment
fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees;
provided that (A) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement
Lender or other such Person, (B) such replaced Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal
of its Term Loans (or, in the case of the preceding clause (iv), the lesser of (x) the purchase price paid by such Ineligible
Assignee for its Term Loans and (y) the outstanding principal thereof), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Sections 2.03 (if applicable) and
3.05) in accordance with the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment, (C) such assignment does not conflict
with applicable Law and (D) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable
assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
(b) Any
Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Term Loans to the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent. If such replaced Lender fails to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption within three Business
Days after the receipt of notice referred to in the foregoing clause (a), the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute
such Assignment and Assumption instead of such replaced Lender (and each Lender, by its becoming a Lender hereunder is deemed to have
granted to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy, which proxy shall be deemed to be coupled with interest, to execute and deliver
the Assignment and Assumption, as provided in this Section). Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender
shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Term Loans, (B) all obligations
of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Term Loans so assigned shall be paid in full to such assigning Lender in
accordance with such Assignment and Assumption concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if
so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee
Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned
Term Loans, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained above, the Lender that acts as (or whose Affiliate acts as) the Administrative Agent may not be replaced
hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.
(d) In
the event that (i) the Borrower has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents
or to agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders
in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain class of the Term Loans and (iii) the
Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment
shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”
3.08 [Reserved].
3.09 Alternative
Rates of Interest.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement
Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark
Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) 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 (2) of
the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such
Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without
any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required
Lenders, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect
of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder
and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business
Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent
of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time,
written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments
implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c) The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the
removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion
of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable,
any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.09, 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 3.09.
(d) 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 Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark
is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative
Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public
statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the
Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove
such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is
subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or
is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement),
then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such
time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e) Upon
the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request
for a Term SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark
Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term SOFR Borrowing into a request
for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) a Daily Simple SOFR borrowing so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark
Transition Event or (B) a Base Rate borrowing if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark
Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of 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. Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of
a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark
Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 3.09, any Term SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and
shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR borrowing so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event
or (y) a Base Rate Loan if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.

immediately prior to the Sixth Amendment Effective Date) in an aggregate principal amount of $160,000,000, loans under the ABL Facility,
and Permitted Surviving Debt.
(d) The
Acquisition shall be consummated pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, substantially concurrently with the initial funding of the Term
Facility, without giving effect to any amendments thereto, waivers thereof or consents with respect thereto that are materially adverse
to the Lenders in their capacity as Lenders, without the consent of each Initial Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.
(e) (a) Between
November 30, 2013 and February 11, 2014, there shall not have occurred a Closing Material Adverse Effect and (b) between
February 11, 2014 and the Closing Date, no fact, event or circumstance shall have occurred or arisen that, individually or in combination
with any other fact, event or circumstance, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Closing Material Adverse Effect.
(f) The
Administrative Agent shall have received, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, all documentation and other
information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, as is reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date.
(g) All
fees and expenses required to be paid on the Closing Date shall have been paid in full in cash from the proceeds of the initial funding
under the Term Facility.
(h) All
actions necessary to establish that the Collateral Agent will have a perfected (with the priority required by the ABL/Term Intercreditor
Agreement) security interest (subject to liens permitted by Section 7.01) in the Collateral shall have been taken, in each
case, to the extent such Collateral (including the creation or perfection of any security interest) is required to be provided on the
Closing Date pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 4.01.
(i) The
representations made by or with respect to the Target, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses in the Acquisition Agreement
that are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the Borrower has the right to terminate its obligations
under the Acquisition Agreement or to decline to consummate the Acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations in the Acquisition
Agreement, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (except in the case of any such representation and
warranty which expressly relates to a given date or period, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be); provided that any such representation or
warranty qualified by or subject to a “material adverse effect”, “material adverse change” or similar term or
qualification shall be true and correct in all respects (after giving effect to any such qualification of materiality).
(j) The
Specified Representations shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (except in the case of any such representation
and warranty which expressly relates to a given date or period, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be); provided that any such representation or
warranty qualified by or subject to a “material adverse effect”, “material adverse change” or similar term or
qualification shall be true and correct in all respects (after giving effect to any such qualification of materiality).
(k) The
Administrative Agent shall have received the results of a recent Lien and judgment search in each relevant jurisdiction with respect
to the Loan Parties, and such search shall reveal no Liens on any of the assets of the Loan Parties except, in the case of assets other
than Pledged Interests, for Liens permitted under Section 7.01.
Without limiting the generality of the provisions
of Section 9.03, for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 4.01, each
Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document
or other matter required hereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender, unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
it is understood that (x) to the extent any Lien search or Collateral (including the creation or perfection of any security interest)
is not or cannot be provided on the Closing Date (other than (i) customary Uniform Commercial Code Lien searches with respect to
Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in each case, in its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) execution and delivery
of a customary personal property security agreement, (iii) the perfection of Liens on Collateral that may be perfected by the filing
of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code or by intellectual property filings with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office or the United States Copyright Office and (iv) the pledge and perfection of security interests in the capital stock or other
Equity Interests of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to which a Lien may be perfected by the delivery of a stock
or equivalent certificate) after Holdings’ and the Borrower’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so without undue
burden or expense, then the provision of any such Lien search and/or Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability
of the Term Facility on the Closing Date, but instead shall be required to be provided within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date,
subject to such extensions as are reasonably agreed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed between the
Collateral Agent and the Borrower and (y) to the extent any Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor cannot be provided as a condition
precedent to the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date because the directors or managers of such Subsidiary Guarantor
have not authorized such Guarantee and the election of new directors or managers to authorize such Guarantee has not taken place prior
to the funding of the Term Facility (such Guarantee, a “Duly Authorized Guarantee”), such election shall take
place and such Duly Authorized Guarantee shall be provided no later than 5:00 p.m., New York Time, on the Closing Date (it being understood
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the execution of all such Guarantees shall be a condition to the availability of the Term Facility
on the Closing Date; provided, however, that the release of such executed Guarantees shall not be a condition to the availability
of the Term Facility on the Closing Date).
4.02 Conditions
to All Credit Extensions. The obligation of each Lender to honor any Request for Credit Extension (other than on the Closing Date
and other than a Committed Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Term Loans to the other Type, or a continuation of Term SOFR Loans)
is subject to the following conditions precedent:
(a) The
representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article V or any other Loan Document
shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by
materiality) on and as of the date of such Credit Extension, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically
refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation
or warranty is already qualified by materiality) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 4.02,
the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) and Sections 5.05(b) and (c) shall
be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) and (b), respectively.
(b) No
Default or Event of Default shall exist, or would result from, such proposed Credit Extension or from the application of the proceeds
therefrom.
(c) The
Administrative Agent shall have received a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with the requirements hereof.
Each Request for Credit Extension (other than
a Committed Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Term Loans to the other Type or a continuation of Term SOFR Loans) submitted
by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Sections 4.02(a) and
(b) have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Credit Extension.

in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid and, together with such filings and other actions, perfected
Lien in the Collateral with the priority specified in the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations,
subject to Liens permitted by Section 7.01. The Loan Parties are the legal and beneficial owners of the Collateral free and
clear of any Lien, except for the Liens created or permitted under the Loan Documents.
5.20 OFAC
and PATRIOT Act Compliance. To the extent applicable, Holdings, each member of the Restricted Group and each Unrestricted Subsidiary
is in compliance, in all respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, each

Compliance. Each Loan Party is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable anti-corruption Laws, including the United
States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (“FCPA”), and maintains (whether internally or administered
through the Seller, as the case may be) policies and procedures designed to ensure that each Loan Party will continue to be in compliance
in all material respects with all applicable anti-corruption Laws. No part of the proceeds of the Term Loans has been or will be used,
directly or indirectly, by any Loan Party for any payments to any Person, governmental official or employee, political party, official
of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct
business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the FCPA or any other applicable anti-corruption Law.

No Loan Party (a) is a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity, (b) has its assets located in Sanctioned Entities or (c) derives
revenue from investments in, or transactions with, Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Entities. The proceeds of any Term Loan will not
be used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned
Entity.
5.23 Designation
as Senior Debt. The First Lien Obligations constitute “Designated Senior Debt”, or any similar term under and as defined
in the agreements relating to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor, including any subordinated Indebtedness, which contains
such designation.
5.24 Tax
Reporting Compliance. The Borrower does not intend to treat the Term Loans and related transactions as being a “reportable
transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). In the event that the Borrower determines to take
any action inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof. If the Borrower so notifies the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower acknowledges that one or more of the Lenders may treat its Term Loans as part of a transaction that
is subject to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112 1, and such Lender or Lenders, as applicable, will maintain the lists and other
records required by such Treasury Regulation.

and 6.03) cause each Restricted Subsidiary to:

securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public
Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum,
shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials
“PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and

and agrees that no Borrower Material delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a), 6.01(b) or 6.02(a) shall
contain any material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective securities
for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws and (ii) authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
the Arrangers and the Lenders to treat all Borrower Materials delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a), 6.01(b) or

and (ii) any Excluded Subsidiary ceasing to be an Excluded Subsidiary (including, as a result of the Borrower, it its sole discretion,
designating an Excluded Subsidiary as an Electing Guarantor) but remaining a Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to constitute the
acquisition of a Restricted Subsidiary for all purposes of this Section 6.12), or upon the acquisition of any personal property
(other than “Excluded Property,” as defined in the applicable Security Agreements) or any Material Real Property by any Loan
Party, which real or personal property, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, is not already subject to a perfected

to be reasonably agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower;
(ii) within
thirty (30) days after such formation or acquisition, or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion,

additional action (including, without limitation, the recording of Mortgages (with respect to Material Real Properties only), the filing
of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and PPSA filings, the giving of notices and the endorsement of notices on title documents

Property Security Agreement Supplements and other Collateral Documents delivered pursuant to this Section 6.12, enforceable

Property Security Agreement Supplements and other Collateral Documents.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not take a security interest in those assets as to which the Administrative Agent shall determine,
in its reasonable discretion, that the cost of obtaining such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or other tax) are excessive
in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby.
(c) For
the avoidance of doubt, changes in organization of a Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (such as conversion of a corporation
into a limited liability company) shall not constitute a formation or acquisition of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that within
ten (10) days (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) such converted entity
shall deliver such instruments and documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and affirmation of its obligations

Affiliate fails to pay when due, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, any installment payment with respect to its withdrawal
liability under Section 4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan in an aggregate amount which could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect; or (iv) if any Canadian Loan Party is in default with respect to required payments to a Canadian Pension
Plan or any Lien arises (save for contribution amounts not yet due or payable to a Canadian Pension Plan) in connection with any Canadian
Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or
(j) Invalidity
of Loan Documents. Any provision of any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than
as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder (including as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or 7.05)
or satisfaction in full of all the First Lien Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect; or any Loan Party contests in writing
the validity or enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document; or any Loan Party denies that it has any or further liability or
obligation under any Loan Document (other than as a result of repayment in full of the First Lien Obligations and termination of the
Aggregate Commitments), or purports to revoke or rescind any Loan Document; or
(k) Change
of Control. There occurs any Change of Control; or
(l) Collateral
Documents. Any Collateral Document after delivery thereof shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof including
as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or 7.05) cease to create a valid and perfected lien on and
security interest in the Collateral covered thereby with the priority required by the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement, subject to Liens
permitted under Section 7.01, except to the extent that any such perfection or priority is not required pursuant to Section 4.01,
Section 6.12 or Section 6.14 or results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates
actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents.
Solely for the purpose of determining whether
a Default or Event of Default has occurred under clause (f) or (g) of Section 8.01, any reference
in any such clause to any Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to exclude any Immaterial Subsidiary (provided however that all
Restricted Subsidiaries affected by any event or circumstance referred to in any such clause shall be considered together, as a single
consolidated Restricted Subsidiary, for purposes of determining whether the condition specified above is satisfied).
8.02 Remedies
Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may,
with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:
(a) declare
the commitment of each Lender to make Term Loans to be terminated, whereupon such commitments shall be terminated;
(b) declare
the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and
(c) exercise
on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, under any document
evidencing Indebtedness in respect of which the Term Facility has been designated as “Designated Senior Debt,” and/or under
applicable Law;
provided,
however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy
Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Term Loans shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount
of all outstanding Term Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case
without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
8.03 Application
of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Term Loans have automatically become
immediately due and payable), any amounts received on account of the First Lien Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.13
and the prior payment and distribution of the proceeds of the ABL Priority Collateral to the ABL Collateral Agent (for distribution
in accordance with the ABL Loan Documents) in accordance with the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement, be applied by the Collateral Agent
in the following order:
First,
to payment of that portion of the First Lien Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees,
disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III)
payable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, each in its capacity as such;
Second,
to payment of that portion of the First Lien Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest)
payable to the Lenders (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Sections 10.04 and 10.05)
arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third,
to payment of that portion of the First Lien Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans, ratably among the
Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;
Fourth,
to payment of that portion of the First Lien Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Term Loans and First Lien Obligations then
owing under Secured Hedge Agreements, ratably among the Lenders and the Hedge Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described
in this clause Fourth payable to them;
Fifth,
to the payment of all other First Lien Obligations owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such
First Lien Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date;
Sixth,
to the ABL Collateral Agent, to be applied in accordance with the ABL Loan Documents or as otherwise provided in the ABL/Term Intercreditor
Agreement; and
Last,
the balance, if any, after all of the First Lien Obligations and the ABL Loan Documents have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower
or as otherwise required by Law.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Loan Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Loan Party or its assets,
but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to the First Lien
Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 8.03.
Article IX
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER AGENTS
9.01 Appointment
and Authorization of Agents.
(a) Each
Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as
are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, no Agent
shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent
is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.
Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between independent contracting parties.
(b) The
Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities
as a potential Hedge Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes
of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations,
together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any co-agents,
sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing
any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX
(including, without limitation, Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral
Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
(c) Without
limiting the rights, exculpations, indemnities and other privileges afforded to the Prior Agent hereunder, the Lenders agree to be bound
by the terms of the Agency Resignation Agreement, and acknowledge and agree to the rights, exculpations, indemnities and other privileges
afforded to the Prior Agent pursuant thereto (including, without limitation, Section 22 of the Agency Resignation Agreement), and
acknowledge and agree that such rights, exculpations, indemnities and other privileges survive the resignation of the Prior Agent.
9.02 Delegation
of Duties. The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral
Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled
to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. None of the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
9.03 Liability
of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein, to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement,
representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under
or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to
be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain
or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.
9.04 Reliance
by Agents.
(a) Each
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement
or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other
experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall
first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number
of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
(b) For
purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement
shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder
to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
9.05 Notice
of Default. None of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, unless it shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring
to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Each of the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action
with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided,
however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable
or in the best interest of the Lenders.
9.06 Credit
Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation
or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review
of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related
Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession.
Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable
bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement
and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility
to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of
any Agent-Related Person.
9.07 Indemnification
of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related
Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so),
pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided,
however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities
to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related
Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07.
In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07
applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any
costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.07
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other First Lien Obligations and the resignation of the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.
9.08 Agents
in their Individual Capacities. Any Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept
deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other
business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though it were not an Agent hereunder and without notice to
or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, an Agent or its Affiliates may receive information
regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such
Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With
respect to its Term Loans, such Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise
such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include such Agent
in its individual capacity.
9.09 Successor
Agents.
(a) The
Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders.
If an Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent
for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times unless an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a),
(f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment (which consent of the Borrower shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be deemed given if the Borrower fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days).
If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties
of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” and “Collateral Agent” shall mean such
successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s
appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article IX
and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative
Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective on such date and the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) with the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a),
(f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall
be deemed given if the Borrower fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative
Agent from among the Lenders. If a successor Administrative Agent has not so been appointed, the Lenders shall perform all of the duties
of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
With effect from the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation (i) the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any
of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through
the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint
a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent, as applicable,
hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such
amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required
Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents,
the Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of
the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.
After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, the provisions
of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.
(b) Any
resignation by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.09 shall also constitute its resignation as the Collateral
Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent, hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and (ii) the retiring
Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
9.10 Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or other judicial proceeding
relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan
shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise:
(a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans and all other
First Lien 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 Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel and
all other amounts due the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and
(b) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments
to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04.
Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf
of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the First Lien Obligations or the rights of
any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding, except as set forth in clause (A)(z) of the second to last paragraph of Section 10.01.
9.11 Collateral
and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in their capacities as potential or actual Hedge Banks) irrevocably authorizes
the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(a) to
release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all First Lien Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations not
yet accrued and payable and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory
to the applicable Hedge Bank shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the Required Lenders or (iv) that is granted by a Guarantor that is released pursuant to Section 9.11(c);
(b) to
subordinate or release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any
Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i) or, in the case of subordination only, 7.01(p); and
(c) to
release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person (i) ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result
of a transaction permitted hereunder or (ii) is an Electing Guarantor that has been re-designated (at the option, and in the reasonable
discretion, of the Borrower) as an Excluded Subsidiary (to the extent such Electing Guarantor qualifies as an Excluded Subsidiary).
Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time,
the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items
of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case
as specified in this Section 9.11, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the
applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from
the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under
the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11.
9.12 Secured
Hedge Agreements. No Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of
the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct
or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or
impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the
Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, none of the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect
to, First Lien Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent have received
written notice of such First Lien Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank.
9.13 Other
Agents; Arranger and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of
this Agreement as a “joint lead arranger” or “bookrunner” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none
of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into
this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
9.14 Appointment
of Supplemental Administrative Agents.
(a) Each
of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to appoint additional Persons selected by it in its sole discretion
as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such
additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent”
and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).
(b) In
the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every
right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested
in or conveyed to the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative
Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers,
privileges and duties with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant
and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative
Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Collateral Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions
of this Article IX and of Section 9.07 (obligating the Borrower to pay the Collateral Agent’s expenses
and to indemnify the Collateral Agent) that refer to the Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative
Agent and all references therein to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental
Administrative Agent, as the context may require.
(c) Should
any instrument in writing from the Borrower, Holdings or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so
appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such
rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge
and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. In case any Supplemental
Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.
9.15 Withholding.
To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent
to any withholding tax applicable to such payment. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative
Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, or the Administrative Agent
has paid over to the IRS applicable withholding tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment,
such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent
as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any and all expenses incurred, unless such amounts have been
indemnified by any Loan Party or the relevant Lender.
9.16 Certain
ERISA Matters.
(a) Each
Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the
date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative
Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or
any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true.
(i) such
Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42)
of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Term Loans or the Term Commitments;
(ii) the

9.17 Erroneous
Payments.
(a) If
the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party
(any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has
determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates
were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to
such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment
of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”)
and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property
of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall
cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent
the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency
so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)
was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater
of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause
(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If a Payment Recipient receives any payment, prepayment or repayment of principal,
interest, fees, distribution or otherwise and does not receive a corresponding payment notice or payment advice, such payment, prepayment
or repayment shall be presumed to be in error absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary.
(b) Each
Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to
such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender
or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or
under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(c) For
so long as an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) has not been returned by any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment
(or portion thereof) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”) to the Administrative
Agent after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), (i) the Administrative Agent may elect,
in its sole discretion on written notice to such Lender or Secured Party, that all rights and claims of such Lender or Secured Party
with respect to the Loans or other Obligations owed to such Person up to the amount of the corresponding Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency
in respect of such Erroneous Payment (the “Corresponding Loan Amount”) shall immediately vest in the Administrative
Agent upon such election; after such election, the Administrative Agent (x) may reflect its ownership interest in Loans in a principal
amount equal to the Corresponding Loan Amount in the Register, and (y) upon five business days’ written notice to such Lender
or Secured Party, may sell such Loan (or portion thereof) in respect of the Corresponding Loan Amount, and upon receipt of the proceeds
of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by such Lender or Secured Party shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the
sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such
Lender or Secured Party (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf), and (ii) each party hereto agrees
that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold such Loan, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may
be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Lender or
Secured Party with respect to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.
(d) The
parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount
of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party
for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(e) No
Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim,
defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return
of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any
similar doctrine.
(f) Each
party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender and/or the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

majority Lenders with respect to such Class determined in a manner consistent with the definition of the “Required Lenders”);

all of the Collateral to the Liens on the Collateral securing any other Indebtedness or (y) any Loans in contractual right of payment
to any other Indebtedness, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;
and provided, further that (i) no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in addition to the
Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral

(or amended and restated) to the extent required to give effect of the provisions of Section 2.12. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder
(and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected
with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Term Commitment of any Defaulting
Lender may not be increased or extended, the maturity of any of its Term Loans may not be extended and the principal amount of any of

any provision herein to the contrary, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or
more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Term Commitments
or Term Loans under the Term Facility (the Term Facility subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Facility”)
to make one or more Permitted Amendments (as defined below) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and
reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment
and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business
Days nor more than thirty (30) Business Days after the date of such notice, or such shorter periods as are acceptable to the Administrative
Agent). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Class(es) of Term Commitments or Term Loans of the Lenders
under the Affected Facility that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Loan Modification Accepting
Lenders”) and, in the case of any Loan Modification Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Term Commitments
or Term Loans of such Class(es) under such Affected Facility as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Borrower and
each Loan Modification Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent giving effect to the Permitted Amendment (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) and
such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments
and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan
Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this
Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted
Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Term Commitments and Term Loans of the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders under
the Affected Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this paragraph unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received all corporate documents, officers’ certificates or legal opinions consistent with those delivered on
the Closing Date under Section 4.01 reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. As used in this paragraph, “Permitted
Amendments” shall be limited to (i) an extension of the final maturity date of the applicable Term Loans of the Loan
Modification Accepting Lenders (provided that such extension may not result in having more than two additional final maturity
dates in any year, or more than three additional final maturity dates at any time, under this Agreement without the consent of the Administrative
Agent), (ii) a reduction, elimination or extension of the scheduled amortization of the applicable Term Loans of the Loan Modification
Accepting Lenders, (iii) a change in rate of interest (including a change to the Applicable Rate and any provision establishing
a minimum rate), premium, or other amount with respect to the applicable Term Loans of the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders and/or
a change in the payment of fees to the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders (such change and/or payments to be in the form of cash, Equity
Interests or other property to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement); provided that any additional premiums pursuant to
this clause (iii) shall apply to the applicable Term Loans of the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders after the Latest Maturity
Date then in effect with respect to the Affected Facility and (iv) any other amendment to a Loan Document required to give effect
to the Permitted Amendments described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this sentence.

the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative

and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall

of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not such proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other Person (all the foregoing,
collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or
in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available
to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements (x) arise from a dispute that does not involve any action or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates
and is solely among the Indemnitees (other than in connection with any such party acting in its capacity as an Arranger or an Agent)
or (y) are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s
or any of its controlled Affiliates’ bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its funding obligations under
the Loan Documents. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials
obtained through IntraLinks or other information transmission systems (including electronic telecommunications) in connection with this
Agreement, except to the extent of direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages determined in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s or any of its controlled Affiliate’s
bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its funding obligations under the Loan Documents. No Indemnitee or Loan
Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that
the foregoing shall not affect the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 10.05. In
the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity
shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders
or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any
of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated.
No Loan Party shall be liable
for any settlement of any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding effected without the Borrower’s consent (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s consent, or if there is a judgment against an
Indemnitee in any such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee
in the manner set forth above. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an Indemnitee shall have requested
in accordance with this Section 10.05 that you reimburse such Indemnitee for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating,
responding to or defending any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding, which legal or other expenses are reimbursable pursuant
to this Section 10.05, you shall be liable for any settlement of any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding effected
without your written consent if (a) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after such request for reimbursement
is sent to you and (b) you shall not have reimbursed such Indemnitee in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement
(unless such reimbursement request is subject to a good faith dispute). If the Borrower has reimbursed any Indemnitee for any legal or
other expenses pursuant to this Section 10.05 and there is a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
that the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 10.05,
then the Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the Borrower. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive
the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other First Lien Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification
relating to Taxes, other than Taxes arising from a non-Tax claim, shall be covered by Section 3.01 and shall not be covered
by this Section 10.05.
10.06 Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any
Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or
such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication)
of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is
made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders
under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the First Lien Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement.
10.07 Successors
and Assigns.
(a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except as permitted by Section 7.04), and no Lender
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d),
(iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f), (iv) to
an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(g) or (v) in accordance with Section 10.07(i) or
10.07(j) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void, subject to clause
(y) of the proviso to clause (v) of Section 10.07(b)); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt,
no assignments to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted other than in accordance with Section 10.07(i) or
10.07(j). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and,
to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.
(b) Any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Term Commitments and the Term Loans at the time owing to it); provided, that (i) (A) in the
case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Commitments and the Term Loans at the time
owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no
minimum amount shall need to be assigned, and (B) in any case not described in the foregoing clause (A), the aggregate amount
of the Term Commitment (which for this purpose includes Term Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Term Commitment is not
then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined
as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade
Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred
and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however,
that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single
Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes
of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Commitments or the Term
Loans assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights
and obligations among separate Classes of Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis; (iii) no consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by Section 10.07(b)(i)(B) and, in addition (A) the consent of the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a),
(f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) such assignment is in respect
of the Term Facility and is made to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (3) in connection with the primary
syndication of the Term Facility, such assignment is made to a Lender that has been identified to and consented to by the Borrower prior
to the Closing Date, provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and (B) the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required; (iv) the parties
to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500 (except, (x) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by any Lender to one or more Approved Funds, only
a single processing and recording fee shall be payable for such assignments and (y) the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion,
may elect to waive such processing and recording fee in the case of any assignment); (v) no such assignment shall be made to (A) to
any Defaulting 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 (A), (B) a natural person, (C) Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or (D) absent
the consent of the Borrower (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Borrower), to a Person (an “Ineligible
Assignee”) disclosed on a list posted on the Platform on April, 2021, as updated from time to time (but no more often than
quarterly) by the Borrower to include competitors of the Borrower (but not other Persons) by posting a new such list of Ineligible Assignees
on the Platform; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (x) the Administrative Agent shall not have any
obligation to determine whether any potential assignee is an Ineligible Assignee or any liability with respect to any assignment made
to an Ineligible Assignee and (y) if any assignment is made to any Person that is an Ineligible Assignee without the consent of
the Borrower, the loans and commitments held by such Person shall be deemed to not be outstanding for purposes of any amendment, waiver
or consent hereunder, and such Person shall not be permitted to attend lender meetings or receive information prepared by the Agent or
any Lender in connection with this Agreement; (vi) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Term Loans to the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent; and (vii) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting 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 the Administrative 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Term Loans
previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting 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 Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all
Term Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment
of rights and obligations of any Defaulting 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 Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement
until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c),
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04, and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower
(at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) 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 10.07(d).
(c) The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall
maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation
of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Term Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Term
Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents 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, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation
of designation, of any Lender as Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any
Lender with respect to such Lender’s entry, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Any
Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person, an Ineligible Assignee or a Defaulting Lender) (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 Term Commitments
and/or the Term Loans owing to it); provided, that
(i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided,
further that the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any potential Participant is an Ineligible
Assignee or any liability with respect to any participation sold to an Ineligible Assignee. 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 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(e), the Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b). To the extent permitted
by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender, provided
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.
(e) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of
the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, except to the extent such entitlement
to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A
Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 and Section 3.04 unless such Participant agrees,
for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with obligations, restrictions and limitations under such Sections and Section 3.07
as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions
of Section 3.07 with respect to any Participant.
(f) Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under
its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose
funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an
“SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Term Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC
to fund any Term Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such
Term Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make
such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.10(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that an
SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations
of such Sections and the obligations to provide the forms and certifications pursuant to Section 3.01 as if it were
a Lender); provided that neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses
or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01,
3.04 or 3.05). Each party hereto further agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (ii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including
the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.
The making of a Term Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Term Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if,
such Term Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall
survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not, other than in respect of matters unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with
the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder with respect to any Term Loan to the Granting
Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Term Loans to any rating
agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(h) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Term
Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund
as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance
with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its
obligations under the Loan Documents, and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under
the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure
or otherwise.
(i) [reserved].
(ii) [reserved].
(i) Each
Lender that sells a participation or grants any rights to an SPC, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower
(solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of (i) each SPC (other than any SPC
that is treated as a disregarded entity of the Granting Lender for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that has exercised its option pursuant
to Section 10.07(g) and (ii) each Participant, and the amount of each such SPC’s and Participant’s
interest in such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity
of any Participant or SPC or any information relating to a Participant’s or SPC’s interest in such Lender’s rights
and/or obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such
rights and/or obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries
in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable participation or SPC interest.
10.08 Confidentiality.
Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be
disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including
accountants, auditors, legal counsel and other advisors and to the Persons approving or administering a Term Loan on behalf of an
Agent or a Lender (it being understood that all Persons pursuant to clause (a) to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential in accordance with
customary practices); (b) to the extent requested or required by any regulatory authority having or purporting to have
jurisdiction over such Agent, Lender or its respective Affiliates or in connection with any pledge or assignment permitted under Section 10.07(f);
(c) in any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or other compulsory process or otherwise as required by applicable Laws
or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection
with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to
the Borrower), to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or to any prospective counterparty to any Swap Contract; (g) with the consent of the
Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08
or (B) is independently developed by such Agent, Lender or any of their respective Affiliates; (i) to any state, Federal
or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization)
regulating any Lender; or (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure,
such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it
from such Lender). In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this
Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the
Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Term Commitments, and
the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all
information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to
any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to
disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided, that, in the
case of information received from a Loan Party after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of
delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as
provided in this Section 10.08 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.
Each of the Agents and the
Lenders acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower, Holdings or a
Subsidiary of either, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information
and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal
and state securities Laws.
10.09 Setoff.
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any
such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by Law,
to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness
at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all First Lien Obligations
owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent
or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such First Lien Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that
in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately
to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 and, pending such payment,
shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable
detail the First Lien Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly
to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent
and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have.
10.10 Interest
Rate Limitation.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed
the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of
the Term Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for,
charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize
any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout
the contemplated term of the First Lien Obligations hereunder. In addition to the foregoing, if any provision of this Agreement or of
any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the any Loan Party to make any payment of “interest” (as defined in Section 347
(the “Criminal Code Section”) of the Criminal Code (Canada)) or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount
or calculated at a rate that would exceed the effective annual rate of interest lawfully permitted under the Criminal Code Section on
the “credit advanced” (as defined in the Criminal Code Section) or would otherwise be prohibited by law or would result in
a receipt by such Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are defined in the Criminal Code Section)
then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum
amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Lender of interest
at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate
of interest required to be paid to such Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums
and other amounts required to be paid to such Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of the Criminal Code
Section. After giving effect to all adjustments contemplated by this Section 10.10, if any Agent or Lender shall have received
an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code (Canada), then the relevant Loan Party shall be entitled, promptly
upon such Agent or Lender becoming aware of the same (whether by notice in writing from such Loan Party or otherwise), to obtain reimbursement
from such Agent or Lender in an amount equal to the excess, and pending reimbursement, the amount of the excess shall be deemed to be
an amount payable by that Agent or Lender to such Loan Party. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Agreement shall be determined
in accordance with GAAP as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption
that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” under the Criminal Code Section shall,
if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the
Fifth Amendment Effective Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute
of Actuaries appointed by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, for the purposes of such determination.
(b) If
any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal
or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables, which provision has the effect of increasing the charge
on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears, such provision shall not apply to such Canadian Loan
Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.
10.11 Counterparts.
This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery
by telecopier or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan
Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents
may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed
original thereof; provided, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document
or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.
10.12 Integration;
Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof,
other than those provisions of the Commitment Letter which by their terms remain in full force and effect to the extent not covered by
this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions
of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the
Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint
participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance
with the fair meaning thereof.
10.13 Survival
of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.
Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made
by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Term Loan or any other First
Lien Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
10.14 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity
and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions
in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative
Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Each Qualified ECP Loan Party hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds
or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in

for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.22,
or otherwise under this Agreement, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance
or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 10.22
shall remain in full force and effect so long as any Term Loan or other First Lien Obligation hereunder which is accrued and payable
shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 10.22 constitute, and this Section 10.22
shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for
all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
10.23 Intercreditor
Agreements. Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement and agrees

may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement. In addition, each Lender
and Agent acknowledge and agree that (a) the rights and remedies of the Agents and Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
are subject to the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement and (b) in the event of a conflict, the provisions of the ABL/Term Intercreditor
Agreement shall control.
10.24
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 of the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and
conversion powers of the applicable 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 the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder
which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected 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 Affected 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 the applicable Resolution
Authority.
10.25 Co-Obligor.
Without limiting the obligations of GMS under the Subsidiary Guaranty, GMS is hereby joining this Agreement as co-obligor hereunder and
under all other Loan Documents, jointly and severally liable with respect to all First Lien Obligations as a primary obligor and not
merely as a surety.
10.26 Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Obligations
or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a
“Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”)
in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents
and any Supported QFCs may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other
state of the United States). In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”)
becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC
Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property
securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer
would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest,
obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered
Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights
under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such
Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution
Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without
limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender
shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
10.27 [Reserved].
10.28 Hypothecary
Representative. Without limiting the powers of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security Agreements, to the extent
necessary for the purposes of holding any Security Agreement granted by any Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec,
each Loan Party and each of the Secured Parties party hereto hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent, as part
of its duties as Collateral Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of all present and future Secured Parties as contemplated
under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec. Any Person who becomes a Secured Party or successor Collateral Agent shall be deemed
to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Collateral Agent as the hypothecary representative on behalf of all
Secured Parties, including such Person and any Affiliate of such Person designated above as a Secured Party. The execution prior to the
date hereof by the Collateral Agent in its capacity as hypothecary representative of any Security Agreements made pursuant to the laws
of the Province of Quebec, is hereby ratified and confirmed. The appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof
also constitutes the appointment of a successor hypothecary representative under this Section without any further agreement, act
or formality (subject to, prior to the successor hypothecary representative exercising the rights relating to the hypothec created under
any such Security Agreement, the publication by registration of a notice of replacement in the applicable registers in accordance with
the terms of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec). For greater certainty, the Collateral Agent, acting as hypothecary representative,
will have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Collateral
Agent in this Agreement, which will apply mutatis mutandis.
