Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 24, 2015, RBC Bearings
Incorporated (the “Company”) and Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. (“RBCA”) entered into a Credit
Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and related Guarantee, Pledge Agreement and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer and the other
lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides RBCA, as Borrower, with (a) a $200,000,000 term loan facility (the “Term
Loan Facility”) and (b) a $350,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together
with the Term Loan Facility, the “Facilities”).
Amounts outstanding under the Facilities generally
bear interest at (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) Wells Fargo’s prime lending rate,
(2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1% or (b) LIBOR rate plus a
specified margin, depending on the type of borrowing being made. The applicable margin is based on the Company's consolidated ratio
of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA from time to time. Currently, the Company's margin is 0.50% for base rate loans and 1.50%
for LIBOR rate loans.
The Term Loan Facility and
the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on April 24, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company can elect to prepay
some or all of the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty. Commencing one full fiscal quarter after April 24, 2015
(the “Closing Date”), the Term Loan Facility will amortize in quarterly installments as set forth below with the balance
payable on the Maturity Date unless otherwise extended in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Facility.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to
comply with various covenants, including the following financial covenants beginning with the test period ending September 30,
2015: (a) a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio of 3.50:1.00; provided that, no more than once during the term of the Facilities,
such maximum ratio applicable at such time may be increased by the Borrower to 4.00:1.00 for a period of twelve (12) months after
the consummation of a material acquisition and (b) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.75:1.00.
The Credit Agreement allows the Company to,
among other things, make distributions to shareholders, repurchase its stock, incur other debt or liens, or acquire or dispose
of assets provided that the Company complies with certain requirements and limitations of the Credit Agreement.
The Company's obligations under the Credit
Agreement are secured as well as providing for a pledge of substantially all of the Company's and RBCA's assets. The Company and
certain of its subsidiaries have also entered into a Guarantee to guarantee RBCA's obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement, the Guarantee, the Pledge
Agreement and the Security Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) are provided to give investors information regarding
their respective terms. They are not provided to give investors factual information about the Company or any other parties thereto.
In addition, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreements were made only for purposes of those Agreements
and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to those Agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed
by the contracting parties, including being qualified by disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution
of the Agreements. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between
the parties to the Agreements instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable
to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under these
Agreements and should not view the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of
the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company.
The Company maintains a variety of relationships
with a number of the lenders that are parties to the Credit Agreement, including comprehensive banking services that involve the
majority of the Company’s treasury receipt and disbursement operations, foreign currency borrowing arrangements, letter of
credit and foreign exchange needs.

covered by such Compliance Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately
determined Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest or fees theretofore
paid by the Borrower for the relevant period as a result of the miscalculation of the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA
Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable, at the time the interest or fees for such period were required to be

the Administrative Agent. In addition, at the option of the Required Lenders, at any time during which the Borrower shall have
failed to deliver the Section 9.1 Financials by the date required under Section 9.1, then the Consolidated Total

and other provisions, then such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any
of such ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of
Holdings and its Subsidiaries) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios and
other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining
whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratios and other provisions shall not be tested
at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related Specified Transactions. If the Borrower has made
an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket
availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier
of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited
Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket
shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming (i) such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection
therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (ii) assuming
such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and
the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated.

Term Loans shall not exceed for any such Lender the Initial Term Loan Commitment of such Lender and in the aggregate shall not
exceed $200,000,000. Such Term Loans (i) may at the option of the Borrower be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into,
ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans, provided that all Term Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall,
unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Term Loans of the same Type, (ii) may be repaid or prepaid in
accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid, may not be reborrowed, (iii) shall not exceed for any such Lender
the Initial Term Loan Commitment of such Lender and (iv) shall not exceed in the aggregate the Total Initial Term Loan Commitments.
On the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, all then unpaid Initial Term Loans shall be repaid in full in Dollars.
(b) (i)
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth: each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make Revolving
Credit Loans to the Borrower in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency from its lending office (each such loan, a “Revolving
Credit Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment,
provided
that the Revolving Credit Loans (A) shall be made at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (B) may, at the option of the Borrower be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into,
ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans, provided that all Revolving Credit Loans made by each of the Lenders
pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Revolving Credit Loans
of the same Type, (C) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (D) shall not, for any Lender at any
time, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Exposure in respect of any Class at such time exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of such Class
at such time, and (E) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at any time
in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at such time exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment
then in effect or the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures of any Class at such time exceeding the
aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment with respect to such Class. Revolving Credit Loans denominated
in Dollars may be ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans and Revolving Credit Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be LIBOR Loans,
as further provided herein.
(ii) Each
Lender may, at its option, make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan,
provided that (A) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan and (B)
in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the Borrower resulting
therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would
result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise disadvantageous
to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section
2.10 shall apply). On the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, all Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid in full.
(c) Subject
to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Swingline Lender in its individual capacity agrees, at any time and
from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Swingline Maturity Date, to make a loan or loans (each a “Swingline
Loan” and, collectively the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower in Dollars, which Swingline Loans (i)
shall be ABR Loans, (ii) shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 2.1(d), (iii) shall not exceed at any time
outstanding the Swingline Commitment, (iv) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof,
result at any time in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at such time exceeding the Revolving
Credit Commitment then in effect and (v) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof. On the Swingline
Maturity Date, all Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after receiving
a written notice from Holdings, or the Borrower, Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders stating that a Default
or Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice of (i)
rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (ii) the waiver of such Default or
Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1.
(d) On
any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to each Revolving Credit Lender that all then-outstanding
Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, in which case Revolving Credit
Loans denominated in Dollars constituting ABR Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be
made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by each Revolving Credit Lender pro rata based on each Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline
Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Credit
Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the
preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the
Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.2, (ii) whether any
conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing or (v) any reduction in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after any such
Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lender, any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for
any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy
Code in respect of Holdings), each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swingline Lender
(without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders
to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, provided that
all principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the
respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to such
Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase.
Section
2.2 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number
of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be in a minimum
amount of at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Loans and in a multiple of $100,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent
thereof) in excess thereof and Swingline Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in a multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof (except that Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 2.1(d) and Revolving Credit
Loans to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any Unpaid Drawing shall be made in the amounts required by Section
3.3 or Section 3.4, as applicable). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date, provided that at no

that are Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement.

Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (A) prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City
time) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice in the case of a Borrowing of Initial Term Loans to be made on the
Closing Date if such Initial Term Loans are to be LIBOR Loans (which LIBOR Loans shall be available on the Closing Date only if
the Borrower has executed and delivered a LIBOR indemnity satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (B) prior to 12:00 p.m.
(New York City time) written notice in the case of a Borrowing of Initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date if such Initial Term
Loans are to be ABR Loans. Such notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount
of the Term Loans to be made, (B) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be the Closing Date) and (C) whether the Term Loans shall
consist of ABR Loans and/or LIBOR Loans and, if the Term Loans are to include LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially
applicable thereto.
(b) Whenever
the Borrower desires to incur Revolving Credit Loans (other than Mandatory Borrowings or borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings),
it shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, (i) prior to 12:00 noon (New York City Time)
at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans, and
(ii) prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing prior written notice of each Borrowing of Revolving
Credit Loans that are ABR Loans. Each such Notice of Borrowing, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10,
shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the
date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of ABR Loans or LIBOR
Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans and, if LIBOR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans, the Interest Period to be initially
applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Revolving Credit Lender written notice of each proposed Borrowing
of Revolving Credit Loans, of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof and of the other matters covered
by the related Notice of Borrowing.
(c) Whenever
the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, it shall give the applicable Swingline Lender for Swingline Loans denominated
in Dollars written notice with a copy to the Administrative Agent of each Borrowing of Swingline Loans prior to in the case of
Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars, 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing. Each such notice shall specify
(i) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing and (ii) the date of Borrowing
(which shall be a Business Day).
(d) Mandatory
Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.1(d), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its
incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section.
(e) Borrowings
to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 3.4(a).
(f) Without
in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it shall give hereunder by telephone (which
such obligation is absolute), the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon
the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of Holdings
or the Borrower.
Section
2.4 Disbursements of Funds.
(a) No
later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (including Mandatory Borrowings), each
Lender shall make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided
below; provided that on the Closing Date, such funds may be made available at such earlier time as may be agreed among the
Lenders, Holdings and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions; provided further
that all Swingline Loans shall be made available to the Borrower in the full amount thereof by the Swingline Lender no later than
4:00 p.m. (New York City time).
(b) Each
Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent
will (except in the case of Mandatory Borrowings and Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower, by depositing
to an account designated by Holdings or the Borrower to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available
in the applicable currency. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such
Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings
to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative
Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and
without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in
fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does
not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in the
applicable currency. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such
corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent
to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal
to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees,
calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans.
(c) Nothing
in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to, fulfill its commitments hereunder or to
prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being
understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).
Section
2.5 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The
Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the Initial Term Loan Maturity
Date, the then-outstanding Initial Term Loans made to the Borrower. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans made
to the Borrower in currency in which such Revolving Credit Loans are denominated. The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender,
on the Swingline Maturity Date, the then outstanding Swingline Loans made to the Borrower in Dollars.

Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars, for the benefit of the applicable, Initial Term Loan Lenders, on
each date set forth below (or, if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) (each, an “Initial Term
Loan Repayment Date”), a principal amount in respect of each of the Initial Term Loans made to the Borrower equal to
(x) the outstanding principal amount Initial Term Loans made to the Borrower on the Closing Date multiplied by (y) the percentage
set forth below opposite such Initial Term Loan Repayment Date (each, an “Initial Term Loan Repayment Amount”):

(c) In
the event that any New Term Loans are made, such New Term Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(d), be repaid by the Borrower
in the amounts (each, a “New Term Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates (each a “New Term Loan Repayment
Date”) set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement. In the event that any Extended Term Loans are established, such
Extended Term Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(f), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts (each such amount with respect
to any Extended Repayment Date, an “Extended Term Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates (each, an “Extended
Repayment Date”) set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment.
(d) Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower
to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time
to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time
under this Agreement.
(e) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which
Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is an
Initial Term Loan, New Term Loan, Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan, as applicable, the Type of each Loan made, the currency
in which made, the name of the Borrower and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(f) The
entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (d) and (e) of this Section
2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations
of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or
the Swingline Lender to maintain such account, such Register or subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any
manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section
2.6 Conversions and Continuations.
(a) Subject
to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (x) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all
or a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof) of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans
of one Type or Revolving Credit Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (y) the Borrower shall have
the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans for an additional
Interest Period, provided that (i) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of
LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) ABR Loans may not be converted
into LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has
or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (iii) LIBOR Loans may not
be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the
proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion
not to permit such continuation and (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited
in number as provided in Section 2.2. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least (i) three Business
Days’ notice, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans (other than in the case of a notice delivered
on the Closing Date pursuant to clause (d), which shall be deemed to be effective on the Closing Date) or (ii) one Business
Day’s notice in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans prior written notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”)
specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Loans are
to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent
shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any
of its Loans.
(b) If
any Default or Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars
and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation,
such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration
of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans (other than Borrowings of LIBOR Loans denominated in Euro or Alternative Currencies),
the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a), the Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration
date of such current Interest Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Borrowings of LIBOR Loans denominated
in Euro or Alternative Currencies, in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in the preceding two sentences,
at the expiration of the then current Interest Period each such Borrowing shall be automatically continued as a Borrowing of LIBOR
Loans with an Interest Period of one month.
(c) No
Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency.
Section
2.7 Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of
Initial Term Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Initial Term
Loan Commitments. Each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders
pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. Each Borrowing of New Term Loans under
this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable New Term Loan Commitments. Each Borrowing
of New Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable
New Revolving Credit Commitments. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender
in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans
provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b)
other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations
under any of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Credit Document.
Section
2.8 Interest.
(a) The
unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans plus the ABR,
in each case, in effect from time to time.
(b) The
unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether
by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans plus
the relevant LIBOR Rate.
(c) If
all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon or any other amount payable hereunder
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest
at a rate per annum that is (the “Default Rate”) (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that
would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% or (y) in the case of any other overdue amount, including overdue interest, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2% from the date of such non- payment to the
date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).
(d) Interest
on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall
be payable in the same currency in which the Loan is denominated; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same date
on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each
ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR
Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months,
on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of each Loan,
(A) on any prepayment in respect of LIBOR Loans, (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (C) after such maturity,
on demand.
(e) All
computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.
(f) The
Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and
the relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding
on all parties hereto.
Section
2.9 Interest Periods. At the time Holdings or
the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into
or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), Holdings or the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent written notice of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option
of Holdings or the Borrower be a one, two, three or six (or if available to all the Lenders making such LIBOR Loans as determined
by such Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions, a twelve month or shorter period).
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained above:
(a) the
initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any
conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence
on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;
(b) if
any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day
for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period
shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;
(c) if
any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not
a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire
on the immediately preceding Business Day; and
(d) the
Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond
the Maturity Date of such Loan.
Section
2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.
(a) In
the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent and (y) in the case of clauses (ii)
and (iii) below, the Required Term Loan Lenders (with respect to Term Loans) or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (with
respect to Revolving Credit Commitments) shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable
error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):
(i) on
any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts and currencies of the
Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes arising
on or after the Closing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable
interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or
(ii) at
any time, that such Lenders shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect
to any LIBOR Loans (including any increased costs or reductions attributable to Taxes, other than any increase or reduction attributable
to Taxes described in clauses (i) or (ii) of paragraph (d) of this Section 2.10) because of (x) any Change
in Law and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in such market; or
(iii) at
any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lenders in good faith with
any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline
or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable
as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR market;
then, and in any such event, such Required
Term Loan Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i)
above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to Holdings and to the Administrative
Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter
(x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent
notifies Holdings and the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent
no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and
any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by Holdings or the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet
been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by Holdings or the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower
shall pay to such Lenders, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased
rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Required Term Loan Lenders or Required Revolving Credit
Lenders, as applicable, in their reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lenders for such
actual increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional
amounts owed to such Lenders, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by
such Lenders shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in
the case of subclause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in subclause (x) or (y),
as applicable, of Section 2.10(b) promptly and, in any event, within the time period required by law.
(b) At
any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower
may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected LIBOR Loan
is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice thereof on
the same date that the Borrower was notified by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected
LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected
Lender to convert each such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time,
then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).
(c) If,
after the Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity of any Lender or compliance by any Lender or
its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity occurring after the Closing Date, has or would have
the effect of reducing the actual rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital
or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender
or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, promptly after demand by such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such actual additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such actual reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender
shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive
to comply with, any law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date or to the extent such Lender is not imposing such
charges on or requesting such compensation from borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender, upon determining
in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice
thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts,
although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s
obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.
(d) It
is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 or (ii) Excluded
Taxes.
Section
2.11 Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any
LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for
such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 13.7, as a result of
acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is
not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing or a failure to satisfy borrowing conditions, (c) any ABR Loan is not
converted into a LIBOR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not
continued as a LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any
prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1
or 5.2, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable
detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts
required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a
result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense
(excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan.
Section
2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that,
upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b),
3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to
overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided
that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing
in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided
in Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.
Section
2.13 Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11, or 3.5 is given
by any Lender more than 120 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event
giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such
Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, or 3.5, as the case may be, for any
such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 121st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.
Section
2.14 Incremental Facilities.
(a) The
Borrower may by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (x) additional tranches
of term loans (the commitments thereto, the “New Term Loan Commitments”), (y) increases in Revolving Credit
Commitments of any Class (the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) and/or (z) additional tranches of Revolving
Credit Commitments (the “Additional Revolving Credit Commitments” and, together with the New Revolving Loan
Commitments, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”; and, together with the New Revolving Credit Commitments
and the New Term Loan Commitments, the “New Loan Commitments”), by an aggregate amount not in excess of the
Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount in the aggregate and not less than $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as (x)
may be approved by the Administrative Agent or (y) shall constitute the difference between the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount
and all such New Loan Commitments obtained on or prior to such date). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased
Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Loan Commitments shall be effective. The Borrower may approach
any Lender or any Person (other than a natural person) to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments; provided
that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole
discretion, to provide a New Loan Commitment. In each case, such New Loan Commitments shall become effective as of the applicable
Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Event of Default (except in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition,
in which case only no Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 shall exist at the time a definitive
purchase agreement is entered into for such Limited Condition Acquisition) shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or
after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments, as applicable, (ii) the representations and warranties under Section 8
hereto shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the incurrence of the New Loan Commitments (although
any representations and warranties that expressly relate to a given date or period shall be required only to be true and correct
in all material respects as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be), (except in connection with
a Limited Condition Acquisition, in which case this clause (ii) shall only apply to the Specified Representations), (iii)
the New Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower and
Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in
Section 5.4(e) and (iv) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection with
the New Loan Commitments, as applicable. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated, a separate series
(a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Each New Loan shall be secured by the same
Collateral securing all of the other Obligations hereunder.
(b) On
any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing
terms and conditions, (a) with respect to New Revolving Credit Commitments, each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments
of such Class shall assign to each Lender with a New Revolving Credit Commitment (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender”)
and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class,
at the principal amount thereof and in the applicable currency(ies), such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on
such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the
Revolving Credit Loans of such Class will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in
accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Credit
Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments and (b) with respect to Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each Incremental
Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and, each Loan made under a New Revolving
Credit Commitment (a “New Revolving Credit Loan”) and each Loan made under an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment
(an “Additional Revolving Credit Loan” and, together with New Revolving Credit Loans, the “Incremental
Revolving Credit Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) each New Revolving Loan Lender
and each Lender with an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment (each an “Additional Revolving Loan Lender” and,
together with the New Revolving Loan Lenders, the “Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders”) shall become a Lender
with respect to the New Revolving Credit Commitment and all matters relating thereto; provided that the Administrative Agent,
the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such
Lender’s or Incremental Revolving Loan Lender’s providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment to the extent
such consent, if any, would be required under Section 13.6(b) for an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Credit
Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Incremental Revolving Loan Lender.
(c) On
any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the
foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with a New Term Loan Commitment (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”)
of any Series shall make a Loan to the Borrower (a “New Term Loan” and together with the Incremental Revolving
Credit Loans, the “New Loans”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each
New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Series
and the New Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto.
(d) The
terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall be on terms and documentation set
forth in the Joinder Agreement as determined by the Borrower; provided that (i) the applicable New Term Loan Maturity Date
of each Series shall be no earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date; (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of all
New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans, (iii) the pricing, interest
rate margins, discounts, premiums, rate floors, fees, call protection (if any) and amortization schedule applicable to any New
Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable New Term Loan Lenders; and (iv) to the extent such terms and
documentation are not substantially consistent with the Initial Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants or
other provisions applicable only applicable after the Latest Maturity Date or any existing New Term Loan existing at the time such
New Term Loan is incurred) (it being understood that, to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit
of any New Term Loan, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any of the Term Loan Lenders to the extent
that such financial maintenance covenant is (1) also added for the benefit of any existing Loans or (2) only applicable after the
Latest Maturity Date).
(e) Incremental
Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be identical to the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments
and the related Revolving Credit Loans, other than the Maturity Date and as set forth in this Section 2.14(e); provided
that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or otherwise:
(i) any
such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall rank pari passu in right
of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans,
(ii) any
such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall not mature earlier than the Initial Revolving
Credit Commitments and related Revolving Credit Loans at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments,
(iii) the
borrowing and repayment (except for (1) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments
(and related outstandings), (2) repayments required upon the maturity date of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, and
(3) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (v) below))
of Loans with respect to Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Increased Amount Date shall be made on a
pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments on such Increased Amount Date,
(iv) subject
to the provisions of Section 2.1(e) and Sections 3.12 to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit
which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exists Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments with a longer maturity
date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Credit
Commitments of the same Series in accordance with their percentage of such Revolving Credit Commitments on the applicable Increased
Amount Date (and except as provided in Section 2.1(e) and Section 3.12, without giving effect to changes thereto
on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued in respect of
such Series),
(v) the
permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination of, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments after
the associated Increased Amount Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments on such Increased
Amount Date, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a
better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class,
(vi) assignments
and participations of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the
same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans on the applicable
Increased Amount Date,
(vii) any
Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments may constitute a separate Class or Classes, as the case may be, of Commitments from the
Classes constituting the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments prior to such Increased Amount Date, and
(viii) the
pricing, fees, maturity and other immaterial terms of the Additional Revolving Credit Loans may be different and shall be determined
by the Borrower and the Lenders thereunder so long as the final maturity date and the weighted average maturity of any Additional
Revolving Credit Loans and Additional Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall not be earlier than, or shorter than,
as the case may be, the maturity date or the weighted average life, as applicable, of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments
and related Revolving Credit Loans.
(f) Each
Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect technical and corresponding amendments to this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision
of this Section 2.14.
(g) (i)
The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “Existing
Term Loan Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all
or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term
Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14(g). In order to establish any Extended
Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of
the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Term
Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be
identical to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be converted except (x) the scheduled final
maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may
be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with
any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.5 or
in the Joinder Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans
were converted, in each case as more particularly set forth in paragraph (iv) of this Section 2.14(g) below), (y) (A) the
interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Term Loans of
such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition
to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in
the applicable Extension Amendment and (z) a financial maintenance covenant may be added for the benefit of any Extended Term Loans
to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is (1) also added for the benefit of any existing Loans or (2) only applicable
after the Latest Maturity Date; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or otherwise,
no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted
is repaid in full except in accordance with the last sentence of Section 5.1. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree
to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request.
Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class
from which they were converted.
(ii) The Borrower may
at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, any Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments and/or any New Revolving Credit Commitments, each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing
Revolving Credit Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Credit Loans”;
each Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and related Existing Revolving Credit Loans together being referred to as an “Existing
Revolving Credit Class”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any
payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Loans related to such Existing Revolving Credit
Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”
and any related Loans, “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this
Section 2.14(g). In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to
the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving
Credit Commitments which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Credit
Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment”) except
(w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the
final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments
and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to or
in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), (y) the revolving credit commitment fee rate
with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee Rate
for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and (z) a financial maintenance covenant may be added for the benefit of
any Extended Revolving Credit Loans to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is (1) also added for the benefit of
any existing Loans or (2) only applicable after the Latest Maturity Date, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable
Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(g) or otherwise,
(1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with
respect to any Original Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Original Revolving Credit
Commitments and (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans
shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving
Credit Loans related to such Commitments set forth in Section 13.6. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have
any of its Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of any Existing Revolving Credit Class converted into Extended
Revolving Credit Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Credit
Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing
Revolving Credit Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving
Credit Commitments so established on such date).
(iii) Any Lender (an
“Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving
Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request
converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent
(an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term
Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class
or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving
Credit Commitments, as applicable. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving
Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections
exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension
Request, Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments
of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans or Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments,
New Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding
the conversion of any Existing Revolving Credit Commitment into an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, such Extended Revolving
Credit Commitment shall be treated identically to all other Original Revolving Credit Commitments for purposes of the obligations
of a Revolving Credit Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.1(c) and Letters of Credit under Article 3, except
that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the Swingline Maturity Date and/or the Revolving Letter of Credit Maturity
Date may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Revolving Letters of Credit may be continued
so long as the Swingline Lender and/or the applicable Revolving Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, have consented to such
extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with
any such extension).
(iv) Extended Term
Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension
Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this
Section 2.14(g)(iv) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.1, shall not require the
consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments,
as applicable, established thereby) executed by the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. No Extension
Amendment shall provide for any tranche of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate principal
amount that is less than $50,000,000. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.14(f)(i),
each Extension Amendment (x) shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5 or the applicable Joinder
Agreement with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled
Repayment Amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan
Class is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount payable
with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced
as a result thereof) and (y) may, but shall not be required to, impose additional requirements (not inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement in effect at such time) with respect to the final maturity and weighted average life to maturity of New Term
Loans incurred following the date of such Extension Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(g)
and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 13.1 to any Section 2.14 Additional Amendments, any
Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated
above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.14 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents; provided that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments are within the requirements of Section
2.14(f)(i) and do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments have been consented
to (including, without limitation, pursuant to (1) consents applicable to holders of New Term Loans and New Revolving Credit Commitments
provided for in any Joinder Agreement and (2) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit
Commitments provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Credit Parties and other parties (if any) as may be
required in order for such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 13.1.
(v) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Class is converted to extend the related
scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clauses (i) and/or (ii) above (an “Extension Date”),
(I) in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Term Loans
shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted by such Lender
on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended
Term Loans so established on such date), and (II) in the case of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of each Extending
Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and
such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified
Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Loans of any Extending Lender
are outstanding under the applicable Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations)
shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Credit Loans
(and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments
to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.
Section
2.15 Refinancing Amendments.
At any time after the
Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain from any existing Lender or any other bank, financial institution or other institutional
lender or investor reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments, the Swingline
Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuers (any such existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Refinancing
Lender”) Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments in respect
of (a) all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement or (b) all or any portion of the Revolving
Credit Commitments (including the corresponding portion of the Revolving Loans) under this Agreement, in each case pursuant to
a Refinancing Amendment; provided that (i) such Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or
Other Term Commitments may be secured only by assets consisting of Collateral and (ii) the covenants, events of default and guarantees
of any Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments are not materially more
favorable (when taken as a whole) to the Additional Refinancing Lenders, than those applicable to the Indebtedness being Refinanced.
The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and such express conditions
as are mutually agreed with the Administrative Agent and the participating Additional Refinancing Lenders. Each Class of Other
Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments (other than in connection with an
extension of the maturity of Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments) incurred under this Section 2.15 shall
be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000, provided that
such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal
amount of the applicable Indebtedness being Refinanced. Upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment in respect of any Other
Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitments being replaced shall be considered permanently reduced and terminated. Subject
to the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuers, any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for
the account of the Borrower pursuant to any Other Revolving Commitments established thereby on terms substantially equivalent to
the terms applicable to Letters of Credit under this Agreement before giving effect to such Refinancing Amendment. Subject to the
consent of the Swingline Lender, any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the making of Swingline Loans pursuant to any Other
Revolving Commitments established thereby on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Swingline Loans under this
Agreement before giving effect to such Refinancing Amendment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to
the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing
Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary or reasonably advisable to reflect
the existence and terms of the Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments
incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term
Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without
the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary,
or reasonably advisable or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions
of this Section 2.15. This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in this Agreement the contrary.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments
of interest and fees at different rates on Other Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon
the maturity date of the Other Revolving Commitments and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination
of commitments) of Loans with respect to Other Revolving Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Commitments
shall be made on a pro rata basis with, or a less favorable basis than, all other Revolving Commitments, (2) the permanent repayment
of Other Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Other Revolving Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other
Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with, or a less favorable basis than, all other Revolving Commitments,
except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a non- rata basis
as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class and (3) assignments and participations of Other Revolving
Commitments and Other Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving
Commitments and Revolving Loans.
Section
2.16 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so
long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) the
Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender;
(b) if
any Swingline Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) all
or any part of such Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance
with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’
Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed
the total of all non- Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments;
(ii) if
the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one
Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and
(y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation
pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8 for so long as such Letter
of Credit Exposure is outstanding;
(iii) if
any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above,
the Borrower shall not be required to pay the Letter of Credit Fee with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
Letter of Credit Exposure so long as it is cash collateralized;
(iv) if
any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to
clause (i) above, then the Letter of Credit Fee with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting
Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; or
(v) if
any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant
to this Section 2.16(b), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender
hereunder, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable
to the Letter of Credit Issuer until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;
(c) so
long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Letter
of Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related
exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized in accordance
with Section 2.16(b), and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline
Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages
(and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and
(d) any
amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including
any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.8(a) but excluding Section
13.7) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated
non- interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined
by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer
or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participation
in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit 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, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent
and Holdings, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement,
(v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans
or Reimbursement Obligations which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 7 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement
Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement
Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.
In the event that the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, each agrees that a
Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure
and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and
on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine
may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. The
rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.16 are in addition to other rights and remedies that
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender and the Non-Defaulting Lenders may have
against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 2.16 shall be permitted under this
Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

3. Letters of Credit
Section
3.1 Letters of Credit.
(a) Subject
to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date and prior to the
L/C Facility Maturity Date, the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders
set forth in this Section 3, to issue from time to time from the Closing Date through the L/C Facility Maturity Date upon
the request of, and for the direct or indirect benefit of, Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, a letter of
credit or letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit” and each, a “Letter of Credit”) in such
form as may be approved by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion; provided that the Borrower shall be
a co-applicant and shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to, each Letter of Credit issued for the account of Holdings
or a Restricted Subsidiary.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding
at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect; (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated
Amount of which would cause the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at the time of the issuance thereof
to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; (iii) [reserved]; (iv) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration
date occurring no later than one year after the date of issuance thereof (except as set forth in Section 3.2(d)), provided
that in no event shall such expiration date occur later than the L/C Facility Maturity Date, in each case, unless otherwise agreed
upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; (iv) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars, Euro
or an Alternative Currency; (v) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if it would be illegal under any applicable law for the beneficiary
of the Letter of Credit to have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor; and (vi) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by a Letter
of Credit Issuer after it has received a written notice from any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving
Credit Lenders stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as the Letter of Credit
Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such
notice or (y) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1.
(c) Upon
at least two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or
reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment in whole or in part, provided that, after giving effect to such termination or reduction,
the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment.
(d) The
parties hereto agree that the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement,
without any further action by the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person.
(e) The
Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(i) any
order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Letter
of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall
prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter
of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction,
reserve or capital requirement (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on
the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable
on the Closing Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
(ii) the
issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to letters of credit
generally;
(iii) except
as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial Stated
Amount less than $100,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $10,000 or the Dollar
Equivalent thereof, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit;
(iv) unless
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, such Letter of Credit is denominated in
a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency;
(v) unless
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, the Letter of Credit Issuer does not as
of the issuance date of such requested Letter of Credit issue letters of credit in the requested currency;
(vi) such
Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder; or
(vii) a
default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 3.3 exists or any Revolving Credit Lender
is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless, in each case, the Borrower has entered into arrangements satisfactory to
the Letter of Credit Issuer to eliminate the Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender.
(f) The
Letter of Credit Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Letter of Credit Issuer would not be permitted at such time
to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(g) The
Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer would have
no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of
such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(h) The
Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it
and the documents associated therewith and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided
to the Administrative Agent in Section 13 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Letter of Credit Issuer
in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters
of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 13 included the Letter of Credit
Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer.
Section
3.2 Letter of Credit Requests.
(a) Whenever
the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or amended, it shall give the Administrative Agent and the
Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter of Credit Request by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least two (or such lesser
number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days prior to the proposed date
of issuance or amendment. Each notice shall be executed by the Borrower and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E (each
a “Letter of Credit Request”).
(b) In
the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail
satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day); (B) the Stated Amount thereof in the relevant currency; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of
the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full
text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder and (G) such other matters as the
Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,
such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer (A) the Letter
of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed
amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish
to the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter
of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent may
reasonably require.
(c) Promptly
after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent in writing
that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not, the Letter of
Credit Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has received written
notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested
date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Sections
6 and 7 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall,
on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) or enter
into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and
customary business practices.
(d) If
the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree to issue a Letter of
Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided
that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once
in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary
thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed
upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower shall
not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to
permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Facility Maturity Date, unless
otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; provided, however, that the Letter
of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer has reasonably determined that it would
not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under
the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) of Section 3.1 or otherwise), or (B) it has received
written notice on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative
Agent that the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 are not then
satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.
(e) Promptly
after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit (including any Existing Letter of Credit) to
an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. On the last Business Day of each month,
each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit (including any Existing Letter
of Credit) issued by it that are outstanding at such time.
(f) The
making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of
Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).
Section
3.3 Letter of Credit Participations.
(a) Immediately
upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold
and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender (each such Revolving Credit Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3,
an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have
purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation
(each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage
in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided that the Letter of Credit
Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b)
and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.
(b) In
determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to
the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered
and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be
taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.
(c) In
the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not
have repaid such amount in full to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Letter of Credit
Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each L/C Participant of such failure, and each L/C Participant shall
promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such
L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars
and in immediately available funds; provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed amount arising
from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions
constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer as determined in the final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Letter of Credit Issuer so notifies, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on any Business Day, any L/C Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such L/C Participant shall make available
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentage of the amount of such payment no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of
the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together
with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees that are reasonably and customarily charged by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing.
The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer
its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant
of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant
shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C
Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.
(d) Whenever
the Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative
Agent has received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause
(c) above, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay
to each L/C Participant that has paid its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and
in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount
originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the Dollar Equivalent of the
amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C
Participations at the Overnight Rate.
(e) The
obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer with
respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification
or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including under any of the following circumstances:
(i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;
(ii) the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a
Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative
Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit,
the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and
the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);
(iii) any
draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(iv) the
surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or
(v) the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;
provided,
however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of
Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the
Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross
negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
Section
3.4 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.
(a) The
Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment in with respect to any drawing under any Letter
of Credit in the same currency in which such drawing was made unless (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer (at its option) shall have
specified in the notice of drawing that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement
for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the Letter of Credit Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice
of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any reimbursement in Dollars
of a drawing of a Letter of Credit denominated an Alternative Currency, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the Borrower of
the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Any such reimbursement shall be
made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter
of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”)
no later than the date that is one Business Day after the date on which the Borrower receives notice of such payment or disbursement
(the “Reimbursement Date”), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer,
to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date, from the Reimbursement Date to
the date the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall at all times be (i) with respect to
a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans plus the ABR as
in effect from time to time and (ii) with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in Euros or an Alternative Currency, the Applicable
Margin for LIBOR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans plus the LIBOR as in effect from time to time, provided that, notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and
the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intends
to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that, with respect to Letters of Credit, the Revolving
Credit Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be denominated in Dollars and which shall be ABR Loans) on the Reimbursement
Date in the amount, or Dollar Equivalent of the amount, as applicable, of such drawing and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof,
and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrower in Dollars in the manner
deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 2:00
p.m. (New York City time) on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative
Agent. Such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount. The Administrative Agent shall
use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing the Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid
Drawing. In the event that the Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the L/C Facility
Maturity Date, the full amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an
Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 except that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds
received from the L/C Participants as contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Drawing
under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any Drawings made in respect of such Letter
of Credit following the L/C Facility Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn
while any such cash collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans that have not
been paid at such time and third, to the Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this
Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans when due in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) The
obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.4 to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings
(including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective
of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against the Letter
of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense
based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of
the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing and without regard
to any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of any Alternative Currency to the Borrower or in the
relevant currency markets generally, provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit
Issuer for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts
or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer as determined in the
final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section
3.5 Increased Costs. If any Change in Law
shall occur and any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (x) impose, modify or make
applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Letter of
Credit Issuer, or any L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (y) impose on the Letter of Credit Issuer or any
L/C Participant any other conditions affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C
Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, and the result of
any of the foregoing is to increase the actual cost to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant of issuing,
maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the actual amount of any sum received or receivable by the
Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (other than any such increase or reduction attributable to (i)
Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 or (ii) Excluded Taxes) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations
therein, then, promptly after receipt of written demand to the Borrower by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C
Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant
to the Administrative Agent (with respect to Letter of Credit issued on account of the Borrower)), the Borrower shall pay to
the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant such actual additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Letter of
Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that the
Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Person’s
compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the
Closing Date. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant, as the
case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the
Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such actual additional amount or
amounts necessary to compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error.
Section
3.6 New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer.
(a) The
Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, Holdings and the Borrower. The Borrower may replace a Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice
to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer. The Borrower may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice
to the Administrative Agent. If the Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add
a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of
Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld), another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer
shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit
Issuer hereunder, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of
Credit effective upon such appointment. At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall
pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees applicable to the Letters of Credit pursuant
to Sections 4.1(c) and 4.1(d). The acceptance of any appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as
a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered
into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become a “Letter
of Credit Issuer” hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or
replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter
of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. In connection with any resignation
or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer
of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and
the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced
Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrower
shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning
Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer
as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters
of Credit shall be denominated in the same currency as, and shall have a face amount equal to, the Letters of Credit being back-stopped
and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back-stopped Letters
of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer,
the provisions of this Agreement relating to a Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of
Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.
(b) To
the extent there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in clause (a) above, any outstanding Letters
of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect
to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, any obligations related to the payment of Fees or the reimbursement
or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer
of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in clause (a) above.
Section
3.7 Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender
and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility
to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or
to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering
any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent,
participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection
herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non- appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any
Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee
with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude
the Borrower’s pursuit of such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under
any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described
in Section 3.3(e); provided that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have
a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but
only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower
proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s
willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s)
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit in each case as determined in the final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer
may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency
of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder
or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
Section
3.8 Cash Collateral.
(a) Upon
the request of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders if, as of the L/C Facility Maturity Date, there are any Letters of Credit
Outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Letters of Credit Outstanding for which the Borrower is
(directly or indirectly) liable.
(b) The
Administrative Agent acting in its reasonable discretion, may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash
Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in the event such Cash Collateral previously provided is inadequate
as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.
(c) If
any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Lenders with Letter of Credit
Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Letter of Credit Exposure may require that the L/C Obligations be Cash Collateralized;
provided that in the case of an Event of Default under Section 11.5, the obligation to Cash Collateralize the Letter
of Credit Exposure shall be automatic.
(d) For
purposes of this Section 3.8, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash
or deposit account balances in the currencies in which the Letters of Credit Outstanding are denominated and in an amount equal
to the amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding required to be Cash Collateralized pursuant to documentation in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by
the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the L/C Participants, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and
all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure its obligations under the Letters of Credit Outstanding. Cash
Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent.
Section
3.9 Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless
otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such
agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit,
and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International
Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
Section
3.10 Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict
between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
Section
3.11 Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account
of, Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder for
any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for
the account of Holdings or Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower if it acted as a co-applicant, and that
the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of Holdings and all Restricted Subsidiaries.
Section
4. Fees
Section
4.1 Fees.
(a) Without
duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender
(in each case pro rata according to the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of all such Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Commitment
Fee”) for each day from the Closing Date to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Commitment Fee shall be payable
(x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (for the three-month period (or portion
thereof) ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (for the period
ended on such date for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (x) above), and shall be computed for each
day during such period at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the Available Commitment in
effect on such day.
(b) Without
duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders
pro rata on the basis of their respective Letter of Credit Exposure, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued on the Borrower’s
or any of its Subsidiaries’ behalf (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance
of such Letter of Credit to the termination date of such Letter of Credit computed at the per annum rate for each day equal to
the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Revolving Credit Loans less the Fronting Fee set forth in clause (d) below. Except
as provided below, such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each
March, June, September and December and (y) on the date upon which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the Letters
of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero.
(c) Without
duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for its own account, administrative agent fees
as have been previously agreed in writing or as may be agreed in writing from time to time.
(d) Without
duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit issued
by it on the Borrower’s behalf (the “Fronting Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit to the termination date of such Letter of Credit, computed at the rate for each day equal to 0.125% per annum
on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit subject to a minimum of $500 per annum (or at such other rate per annum
as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Letter of Credit Issuer). Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly
in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (y) on the date upon which the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero.
(e) Without
duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars upon each issuance or renewal of, drawing
under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower shall have
agreed upon for issuances or renewals of, drawings under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.
(f) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1.
Section
4.2 Voluntary Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.
Upon at least two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office
(which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without
premium or penalty, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments in whole or in part, provided
that (a) any such reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each
of the Lenders of any applicable Class, except that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the establishment on
any date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14(f), the Revolving Credit Commitments of
any one or more Lenders providing any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal
to the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments so extended on such date (provided that (x) after giving effect to any such
reduction and to the repayment of any Revolving Credit Loans made on such date, the Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Lender
does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment thereof and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any such repayment of Revolving Credit
Loans contemplated by the preceding clause shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 5.3(a) with respect
to the ratable allocation of payments hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving effect to any conversion pursuant
to Section 2.14(f) of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments
and Extended Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(f) prior to any reduction being made to the Revolving Credit
Commitment of any other Lender) and (ii) the Borrower may at its election permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of
a Defaulting Lender to $0 without affecting the Revolving Credit Commitments of any other Lender, (b) any partial reduction pursuant
to this Section 4.2 shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 and (c) after giving effect to such termination or reduction
and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the date thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’
Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and the aggregate amount of the Lenders’
Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of any Class shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class.
Section
4.3 Mandatory Termination of Commitments.
(a) The
Initial Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date.
(b) The
Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
(c) The
Swingline Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Swingline Maturity Date.
(d) The
New Term Loan Commitment for any Series shall, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Joinder Agreement, terminate at 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on the Increased Amount Date for such Series.
Section
5. Payments
Section
5.1 Voluntary Prepayments.
The Borrower shall
have the right to prepay its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, as applicable, in each case, without premium
or penalty, in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (a) the Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment
and (in the case of LIBOR Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the Borrower
no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars, three Business Days prior
to, (ii) in the case of ABR Loans (other than Swingline Loans), one Business Day prior to or (iii) in the case of Swingline Loans,
on, the date of such prepayment and shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders or the Swingline
Lender, as the case may be; (b) each partial prepayment of (1) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars shall be in
a minimum amount of $2,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and in multiples of $1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof)
in excess thereof, (2) any ABR Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of
$500,000 in excess thereof, and (3) Swingline Loans shall be in the full amount of thereof, provided that no partial prepayment
of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to
an amount less than the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount for such LIBOR Loans and (c) in the case of any prepayment of LIBOR
Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower
shall, after receipt of a written request by any applicable Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis
for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required pursuant to Section
2.11. Each prepayment in respect of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be (a) applied to the Class or
Classes of Term Loans as the Borrower may specify and (b) applied to reduce Initial Term Loan Repayment Amounts, any New Term Loan
Repayment Amounts, and, subject to Section 2.14(f), Extended Term Loan Repayment Amounts, as the case may be, in each case,
in such order as the Borrower may specify. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this
Section 5.1, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Term Loan or Revolving Credit Loan of a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Borrower may not repay Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series unless such prepayment is accompanied by
a pro rata repayment of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted (or such
Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class have otherwise been repaid in full).
Section
5.2 Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) Term
Loan Prepayments. (i) On each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after
its receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event (other than one covered by clause (iii) below)
and within ten Business Days after the occurrence of any other Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds,
within ten Business Days after the Deferred Net Cash Proceeds Payment Date), prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below,
Term Loans with an equivalent principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event; provided
that, with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale Prepayment Event, Casualty Event or Permitted Sale Leaseback, in each
case solely to the extent with respect to any Collateral, the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or
repurchase Permitted Other Indebtedness (and with such prepaid or repurchased Permitted Other Indebtedness permanently extinguished)
with a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations to the extent any applicable Permitted
Other Indebtedness Document requires the issuer of such Permitted Other Indebtedness to prepay or make an offer to purchase such
Permitted Other Indebtedness with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of
(x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount
of the Permitted Other Indebtedness with a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations
and with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase exists and the denominator of which is the
sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Other Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.
(ii)
[Reserved]
(iii) On each occasion
that Permitted Other Indebtedness is issued or incurred pursuant to Section 10.1(v), Borrower shall within three Business
Days of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Permitted Other Indebtedness prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below,
Term Loans with a principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such issuance or incurrence of Permitted Other Indebtedness.
(iv)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.2, (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of
any Prepayment Event by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to clause (i) above (a “Foreign
Prepayment Event”) are prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the Borrower, the portion
of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in clause (i)
above, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement
of Law (including due to a material risk of a breach of fiduciary or statutory duties by any director or officer (or equivalent
titles) of such Foreign Subsidiary) will not permit repatriation to the Borrower (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation),
and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, such
repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than
ten Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of any taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment
of the Loans pursuant to clause (i) above, and (B) 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 Prepayment Event would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect
to such Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.
(b) Repayment
of Revolving Credit Loans. If on the last day of any calendar month of the Borrower, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’
Revolving Credit Exposures (collectively, the “Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings”) for any reason exceeds
100% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall forthwith repay on such date the principal amount
of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been paid in full, Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such excess.
If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, the Aggregate Revolving
Credit Outstandings exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Letters
of Credit Outstanding to the extent of such excess. If on any date the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit
Exposures in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Loans for any reason exceeds 100% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such
Class then in effect, the Borrower shall forthwith repay on such date Revolving Credit Loans of such Class in an amount equal to
such excess. If after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Class, the Revolving Credit
Exposures of such Class exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize
the Letters of Credit Outstanding in relation to such Class to the extent of such excess.
(c) Application
to Repayment Amounts. Each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i) shall be allocated pro rata among
the Initial Term Loans, the New Term Loans and the Extended Term Loans based on the applicable remaining Repayment Amounts due
thereunder and shall be applied first, to accrued interest and fees due on the amount of prepayment of Term Loans and second, within
each Class of Term Loans in respect of such Term Loans in direct order of maturity thereof or as otherwise directed by the Borrower;
provided that if any Class of Extended Term Loans have been established hereunder, the Borrower may allocate such prepayment
in its sole discretion to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class, if any, from which such Extended Term Loans were converted.
With respect to each such prepayment, the Borrower will, not later than the date specified in Section 5.2(a) for making
such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent written notice which shall include a calculation of the amount of such prepayment
to be applied to each Class of Term Loans requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of such prepayment to each Initial
Term Loan Lender, New Term Loan Lender or Extended Term Loan Lender, as applicable.
(d) Application
to Term Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a), the Borrower may, if applicable,
designate the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made. In the absence of a designation
by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation
in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.
(e) Application
to Revolving Credit Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans required by Section 5.2(b), the
Borrower may designate (i) the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made and (ii)
the Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid, provided that (y) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall
be applied pro rata among such Loans; and (z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), no prepayment
of Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed in writing
by the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent
shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage
costs owing under Section 2.11.
Section
5.3 Method and Place of Payment.
(a) Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim
or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto (or, in the case
of the Swingline Loans to the Swingline Lender) or the Letter of Credit Issuer entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later
than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice
to the Borrower (or, in the case of the Swingline Loans, at such office as the Swingline Lender shall specify for such purpose
by Notice to the Borrower), it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to
make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making
of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise) hereunder shall be made in the currency in which such Loans are denominated and all other payments under
each Credit Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Credit Document, be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will
thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00
p.m. (New York City time) or, otherwise, on the next Business Day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest
or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.
(b) Any
payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) may be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (or, in the case of the Swingline Loans, at the Swingline
Lender’s sole discretion). Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business
Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest
shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.
Section
5.4 Net Payments.
(a) Payments
Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.
(i) Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall to the
extent permitted by applicable laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however,
applicable laws require any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld
or deducted in accordance with such laws as reasonably determined by such withholding agent.
(ii) If
any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such
withholding agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably determined by such withholding agent to be required
by applicable law, (B) such withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum
payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or deductions have
been made (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or
deductions been made.
(b) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or timely reimburse the Administrative Agent
or any Lender for the payment of any Other Taxes.
(c) Tax
Indemnifications. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, in respect of any Borrowing by the Borrower,
the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof
within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) payable by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any 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
as to the amount of any such payment or liability (along with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis
and calculation of such amounts) delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Borrower reasonably believes that any such Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent and/or each affected Lender will use reasonable
efforts to cooperate with the Borrower in pursuing a refund of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes so long as such efforts would
not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or affected Lender, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks
or be otherwise disadvantageous to it.
(d) Evidence
of Payments. After any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided
in this Section 5.4, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as
the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a
copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender
or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e) Status
of Lenders and the Administrative Agent; Tax Documentation.
(i) Each
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing
authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject
to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available
exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Credit Party pursuant
to any Credit Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
Any documentation and information required to be delivered by a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.4(e) (including any specific
documentation set forth in subsection (ii) below) shall be delivered by such Lender (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on
or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before any date on which such documentation expires or becomes
obsolete or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of any change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most
recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (iv) from time to time thereafter
if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and each such Lender shall promptly notify in writing the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent if such Lender is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously provided.
(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) any
Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”)
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other
documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject
to backup withholding or information reporting requirements;
(B) each
Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding
tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) executed
originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income
tax treaty to which the United States is a party;
(2) executed
originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto);
(3) in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x)
a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit K (a “Non-Bank Tax Certificate”), to the effect that such
Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E;
(4) where
such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender
has sold a participation), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation (including, where
one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption, a Non-Bank Tax
Certificate of such beneficial owner(s)) (provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender,
the Non-Bank Tax Certificate(s) may be provided by the Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of the beneficial owner(s)); or
(5) executed
originals of any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States
federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(C) if
a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b)
or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by 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 clause (C),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, no Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally
eligible to deliver.
(f) Treatment
of Certain Refunds. Subject to the last sentence in Section 5.4(c), at no time shall the Administrative Agent or
any Lender have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender,
any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section,
the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) shall promptly pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Parties under this Section with respect
to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out- of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) incurred
by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
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 the Administrative
Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that it deems confidential). This subsection shall not be construed to
require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes
that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.
(g) For
the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of Credit Issuer
and any Swingline Lender.

interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of the
amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation (the “Maximum Rate”).
(b) Payment
at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a
result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable
laws, rules and regulations.
(c) Adjustment
if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the
Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would
be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, 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, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required
to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8; provided that to the extent lawful, the interest
or other amounts that would have been payable but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated
and the interest payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate
therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment,
shall have been received by such Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount
in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in
writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such
reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

to any self-insurance which Holdings believes (in the good faith judgment of management of Holdings) is reasonable and prudent
in light of the size and nature of its business and the availability of insurance on a cost-effective basis) and against at least

the security interests created or intended to be created by the applicable Security Documents, all at the expense of Holdings and

improvements thereto or any interest therein but excluding any real estate which the Borrower or applicable Credit Party intends
to dispose of pursuant to a Permitted Sale Leaseback so long as actually disposed of within 270 days of acquisition (or such longer
period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree)) with a book value in excess of $15,000,000 are acquired by Holdings or
any other Credit Party after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under a Security Document that become

by a Security Document, Holdings will notify the Collateral Agent, and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, Holdings will cause
such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the other applicable Credit Parties to
take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, as soon as commercially reasonable but

that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
This Agreement will not treat
(1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior Indebtedness
as subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether pursuant to
clauses (13), (16) or (17) of Section 10.5(c), or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,”
and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject

For purposes of determining
compliance with this covenant, in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of clauses
(1) through (24) above or is entitled to be made pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, Holdings will be
entitled to classify or later reclassify (based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification) such Restricted
Payment (or portion thereof) among such clauses (1) through (24) and such first paragraph in a manner that otherwise
complies with this covenant.

to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in
connection with any collection or sale or otherwise in connection with any Credit Document, including all court costs and the reasonable

Outstanding; and

any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the applicable Credit Parties or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Section
11.14 Equity Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 11, in the event that Holdings fails to comply with the requirement of the financial covenants

date of the delivery of the Compliance Certificate under Section 9.1(d) with the financial statements referred to in Sections
9.1(a) or (b) in respect of such fiscal period for which such financial covenant is being measured, any holder of Capital
Stock or Stock Equivalents of Holdings (other than a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings) or any direct or indirect parent of Holdings
shall have the right to cure such failure (the “Cure Right”) by causing cash net equity proceeds derived from
an issuance of Capital Stock or Stock Equivalents (other than Disqualified Stock, unless reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent) by Holdings to be contributed as common equity to the Borrower, and upon receipt by the Borrower of such cash contribution
(such cash amount being referred to as the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise of such Cure Right, such
financial covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:
(a) Consolidated
EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default resulting from a breach of
the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.7 with respect to any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters that includes
the fiscal quarter for which the Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal
to the Cure Amount; and
(b) Consolidated
Senior Secured Debt and Consolidated Total Debt shall be decreased solely to the extent proceeds of the Cure Amount are actually
applied to prepay any of the Credit Facilities; and
(c) if,
after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, Holdings shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the financial
covenants set forth in Section 10.7, Holdings shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the financial covenants
set forth in Section 10.7 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure
to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such financial covenants that had occurred shall be deemed
cured for the purposes of this Agreement; provided that (i) in each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters there shall
be at least two fiscal quarters in which no Cure Right is made, (ii) there shall be a maximum of five Cure Rights made during the
term of this Agreement, (iii) each Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance
with the financial covenants set forth in Section 10.7; (iv) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for the purposes of any
financial ratio determination under the Credit Documents other than for determining compliance with Section 10.7 and (v)
the proceeds of such Cure Amount shall be immediately applied to repay outstanding Term Loans in the manner specified in Section
5.2(c) hereto.

12.
Section
12.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents,
sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such
duties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
agents, subagents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined
in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
Section
12.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Person’s
own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction,
in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant
for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of Holdings, the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Credit
Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement
or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement
or any other Credit Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created
under the Security Documents, or for any failure of Holdings, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party to perform
its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to
the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document,
or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be
under any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance
of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of any Credit Party.
Section
12.4 Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction 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 Holdings and the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to
any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer
thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive
such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction
by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such
request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of
the Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in
its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable
law. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 6 on the Closing Date, 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.
Section
12.5 Notice of Default. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder
unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Holdings or the Borrower referring
to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.
In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably
directed by the Required Lenders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions,
the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that
this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable.
Section
12.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and
Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties
to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
Holdings, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty
by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender,
the Swingline Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower, Guarantor and other Credit Party and made
its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform
itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower,
any Guarantor and any other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to
the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty
or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties,
financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party that may
come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
Section
12.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to severally indemnify
each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of
the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date
on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated
and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure
in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time
following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein
or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action taken by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required
by the Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section
12.7. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including
at any time following the payment of the Loans), this Section 12.7 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 each
Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent
is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Holdings or the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the
Lenders shall not affect Holdings’ or the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If
any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired,
such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional
indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any
liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s
pro rata portion thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify
any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting
from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.
Section
12.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and
its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower,
any Guarantor, and any other Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.
With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders”
shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
Section
12.9 Successor Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and Holdings. Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of Holdings (not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 is continuing, to appoint
a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation
shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Collateral
Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed)
and (2) 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 and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent
or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, 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 Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 12.9).
The fees payable by Holdings (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Holdings and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder
and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section 12 (including 12.7) and Section 13.5
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.
Any resignation by Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.9 shall also constitute its resignation
as Letter of Credit Issuer and its Affiliates’ resignation as Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and
Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents,
and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,
outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively
assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
Section
12.10 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable
law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax.
If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction 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 (including, without limitation,
because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative
Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable
Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Credit Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly
or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with
all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes
the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.10. For the avoidance of
doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.10, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of Credit Issuer and any Swingline
Lender.
Section
12.11 Agents Under Security Documents and Guarantee. Each Secured
Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit
of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security
Documents. Subject to Section 13.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to, in connection with a sale or
disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required
to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise consented, (i) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral
that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guarantee.
The Collateral Agent shall
have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 12.11, irrespective
of any discharge of the Borrower’s obligations to pay those amounts to the other Lenders resulting from failure by them to
take appropriate steps in insolvency proceedings affecting the Borrower to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts.
Any amount due and payable
by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent under this Section 12.11 shall be decreased to the extent that the other Lenders
have received (and are able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Credit Documents
and any amount due and payable by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent
that the Collateral Agent has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under this Section
12.11.
Section
12.12 Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee.
Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Holdings, the Agents and each Secured Party
hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the
Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security
Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any
of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser
or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and
representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required
Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the
purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations
as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.
No holder of Secured Hedge Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations shall have any rights in connection with the management
or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement. No holder of Secured Hedge Obligations
or Secured Cash Management Obligations that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions
hereof or of any other Credit 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 Credit 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 Credit
Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required
to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured
Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements.
Section
13. Miscellaneous
Section
13.1 Amendments, Waivers and Releases. Neither this Agreement
nor any other Credit Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 13.1. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders,
the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the relevant Credit Party or
Credit Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose of adding
any provisions to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Credit
Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive in writing, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative
Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or
the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that each
such waiver and each such amendment, supplement or modification shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; and provided, further, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
shall (i) forgive or reduce any portion of any Loan or extend the final scheduled maturity date of any Loan or reduce the stated
rate (it being understood that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower
to pay interest at the Default Rate or amend Section 2.8(c)), or forgive any portion, or extend the date for the payment,
of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates), or extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment or extend the final expiration date of any
Letter of Credit beyond the L/C Facility Maturity Date, or increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Lender, or
amend or modify any provisions of Section 5.3(a) (with respect to the ratable allocation of any payments only) and 13.8(a)
and 13.20, or make any Loan, interest, Fee or other amount payable in any currency other than expressly provided herein,
in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive
any provision of this Section 13.1, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of its rights and obligations
under any Credit Document to which it is a party (except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.3) or alter the order of application
set forth in Section 11.13, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,
or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 without the written consent of the then-current Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent in a manner that directly and adversely affects such Person, or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision
of Section 3 with respect to any Letter of Credit without the written consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer, or (v) amend
or modify any provision of any Credit Document requiring the pro rata sharing of payments by Lenders in each case without the
written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (vi) amend, modify or waive any provisions hereof relating
to Swingline Loans without the written consent of the Swingline Lender in a manner that directly and adversely affects such Person,
or (vii) change any Revolving Credit Commitment to a Term Loan Commitment, or change any Term Loan Commitment to a Revolving Credit
Commitment, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (viii) release
all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Guarantees (except as expressly permitted by the Guarantees or this Agreement)
or release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents (except as expressly permitted by the Security
Documents or this Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (ix) decrease the Initial Term Loan Repayment
Amount applicable to Initial Term Loans, extend any scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment Date applicable to Initial Term Loans,
in each case without the written consent of the Required Initial Term Loan Lenders or (x) reduce the percentages specified in
the definitions of the terms “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Credit Lenders” or “Required
Initial Term Loan Lenders” or amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.1 that has the effect of altering
the number of Lenders that must approve any amendment, modification or waiver, in each case without the written consent of each
Lender.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder,
except (x) that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood
that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder
requiring any consent of the Lenders) and (y) for any such amendment, waiver or consent that treats such Defaulting Lender disproportionately
from the other Lenders of the same Class.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any amendment, waiver or modification that affects one Class of Revolving Credit Lenders expressly differently and adversely than
another Class of Revolving Credit Lenders shall require the consent of Persons holding a majority of the Commitments of such Class.
Any such waiver and any such
amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon Holdings, the
Borrower, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, Holdings,
the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under
the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, it being
understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon. In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the
concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in addition to any credit extensions and related Joinder Agreement(s) effectuated without the consent of Lenders in accordance
with Section 2.14, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders,
the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to
permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to
share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans
and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities
in any determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions related to such new Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans.
In addition, notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, Holdings, the Borrower and the
Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced
Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided
that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such
Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin
for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than
the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal
amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans) and (d)
all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders
providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide
for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans of such Class in effect
immediately prior to such refinancing.
The Lenders hereby irrevocably
agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i)
in full, upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Obligations hereunder (except for (i) contingent indemnification
obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet been made, (ii) Secured Hedge Obligations and (iii) Secured Cash Management
Obligations), (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other
sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent such sale or other
disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate
to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such
Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release
of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose
consent may be required in accordance with this Section 13.1), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral
is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee (in accordance
with the second following sentence) and (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in connection with
any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge,
affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released)
of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which
shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of
the Credit Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall
be released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted
Subsidiary. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver
any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.
Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary the Credit Documents may be amended to (i) add syndication or documentation agents and make customary changes
and references related thereto and (ii) add or modify “parallel debt” language in any jurisdiction in favor of the
Collateral Agent or add Collateral Agents, in each case (i) and (ii) with the consent of only the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and in the case of (ii) the Collateral Agent.
Section
13.2 Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all
notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile

Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by
such party in a notice to Holdings and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer
and the Swingline Lender.
All such notices and other communications shall
be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered
by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, three Business Days
after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone;
and (D) if delivered by electronic mail, when delivered; provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.6, 2.9, 4.2 and 5.1 shall not be effective
until received.
Section
13.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise
and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power
or privilege hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
Section
13.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder, in the other Credit Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant
hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.
Section
13.5 Payment of Expenses; Indemnification. Holdings and the
Borrower agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the development, preparation and execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to,
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation
and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other
charges of Cahill Gordon & Reindel llp, as counsel to the Agents, or such other
counsel retained with Holdings’ consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (b) to pay or reimburse each Agent
and each Lender for all their respective reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including
the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Cahill, Gordon & Reindel LLP, as counsel to the Agents, or such other
counsel retained with Holdings’ consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold
harmless each Lender and Agent from, any and all recording and filing fees and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender
and Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents from and against
any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of
one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to such indemnified Persons (unless there is an actual
or perceived conflict of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses in which case each such Person may retain
its own counsel), related to the Transactions (including, without limitation, the Acquisition) or, with respect to the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents,
including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental
Law, in each case, applicable to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or to any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened
Release of Hazardous Materials involving or attributable to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (all the foregoing in this clause
(d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that Holdings shall have no obligation
hereunder to any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling
persons, advisors and other representatives with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a
final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or any of its Affiliates, or any of its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors,
employees, members or agents, (ii) a material breach of any Credit Document by the party to be indemnified or (iii) disputes between
and among Persons otherwise entitled to indemnification; provided that the Agents (and their related affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, advisors and other representatives), to the extent acting in their capacity
as such, shall remain indemnified in respect of such disputes to the extent otherwise entitled to be so indemnified hereunder.
No Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of this Section 13.5 shall be liable for any damages arising
from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission
systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any such Person have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or
consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith
or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which
the indemnity in this Section 13.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation
or proceeding is brought by any Credit Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or any other Person, whether or not any
Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of this Section 13.5 is otherwise a party thereto. All amounts
payable under this Section 13.5 shall be paid within ten Business Days of receipt by Holdings of an invoice relating thereto
setting forth such expense in reasonable retail. The agreements in this Section 13.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans
and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 13.5 shall not apply with respect to any claims for Taxes, which
shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.4 and, to the extent set forth therein, Sections 2.10 and 3.5,
except Taxes that are losses or damages relating to a non-Tax claim.
Section
13.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(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 (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 10.3, 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 (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii)
no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.6.
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 clause (c) of this Section
13.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders and each other Person entitled to indemnification under Section 13.5)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) (i)
Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, 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 Commitments and the Loans
(including participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such
consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that, without limitation, the Borrower shall have the right
to withhold or delay its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower
would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority) of:
(A) the
Borrower; 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; provided
further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (1) an assignment to (X) a Lender, (Y) an Affiliate of a Lender,
or (Z) an Approved Fund or (2) an assignment of Loans or Commitments to any other assignee if an Event of Default under Section
11.1 or Section 11.5 (with respect to the Borrower) has occurred and is continuing; and
(B) the
Administrative Agent and, in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans only, the Swingline Lender and
the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the
Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, shall be required for an assignment of any Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated
for the primary benefit of, a natural person), Disqualified Lender (so long as the identity of such Disqualified Lenders has been
made available to the Lenders in writing with the consent of the Borrower) or Defaulting Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Administrative Agent shall bear no responsibility or liability for monitoring or enforcing the list of persons who are Disqualified
Lenders at any time.
(ii) Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment
is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments and $1,000,000
in the case of Term Loans, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default
under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing; provided further that contemporaneous
assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting
the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;
(B) 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, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part
of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;
(C) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic
settlement system or other method reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with a processing and recordation
fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing
and recordation fee in the case of any assignment;
(D) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved
by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and applicable tax forms; and
(E) any
assignment of Term Loans to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall also be subject to the requirements of Section 13.6(g).
(iii) Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 13.6, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 2.10, 2.11, 3.5, 5.4 and 13.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 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 clause (c) of this Section
13.6. For the avoidance of doubt, in case of an assignment to a new Lender pursuant to this Section 13.6, (i) the Administrative
Agent, the new Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they
would have acquired and assumed had the new Lender been an original Lender signatory to this Agreement with the rights and/or obligations
acquired or assumed by it as a result of the assignment and to the extent of the assignment the assigning Lender shall each be
released from further obligations under the Credit Documents and (ii) the benefit of each Security Document shall be maintained
in favor of the new Lender.
(iv) The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office
a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders,
and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (and related interest amounts) and any payment made by the Letter of
Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
Further, each Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each
such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit
Issuer and, with respect to itself, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 13.6 and any written consent to such assignment
required by clause (b) of this Section 13.6, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance
and record the information contained therein in the Register.
(c) (i)
Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than (x) Holdings and its Subsidiaries, (y) a natural person
(or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) and
(z) any Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer 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. 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 or any other Credit Document, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i)
and (vii) of the second proviso to Section 13.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of
this Section 13.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10,
2.11, 3.5 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of
those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section
13.6, including the requirements of clause (e) of Section 5.4 ). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees
to be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender.
(ii) A Participant shall
not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the sale of such the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale
of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest
amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”). 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 such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent
that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered
form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
(d) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment
to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment
of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. The Borrower hereby
agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder,
the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of
Exhibit H-1 or H-2, as applicable, evidencing the Initial Term Loans, New Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans,
respectively, owing to such Lender.
(e) Subject
to Section 13.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or
assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s
possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and
its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates
in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.
(f) The
words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance
shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same
legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as
the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global
and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
(g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary and (y) Holdings, the Borrower and
any Subsidiary may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Term Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch auction
procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between Holdings
or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction) or (y) open market purchases; provided
that (i) any Loans or Commitments acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled promptly
upon the acquisition thereof (or contribution thereto), (ii) no proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans shall be used, directly or indirectly,
to consummate such assignment and (iii) on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such assignment, no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.
Section
13.7 Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.
(a) The
Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10
or 5.4, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions
described in such Section is required to be taken or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank or other financial
institution, provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default
under Section 11.1 or 11.5 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower
shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts pursuant to Section
2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be, owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the
replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender shall be subject to
the provisions of Section 13.6(b), (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with
the provisions of Section 13.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing
fee referred to therein) and (vii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
(b) If
any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge
or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 requires the consent of either (i) all of the Lenders affected
or (ii) all of the Lenders, and, in each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then,
the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender
by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that (a) all Obligations hereunder of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting
Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement
Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting
Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6.
Section
13.8 Adjustments; Set-off.
(a) Except
as contemplated in Section 13.6 or elsewhere herein, if any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any
time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.5, or
otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of
such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating
interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such
collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits
of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of
such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase
price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided
by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Credit Parties, any such notice being expressly waived by
the Credit Parties to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Credit Parties hereunder
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held
or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Credit Parties. Each Lender
agrees promptly to notify the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section
13.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or
more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission),
and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of
this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
Section
13.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section
13.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents
represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,

with this Section 13.16 by any other Agent or any Lender.
Section

Borrower may, at its option, provide to the Administrative Agent any information, documents and other materials that it is obligated
to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests,
financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication

election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount
due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any default or event of default under this
Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or
any borrowing or other extension of credit thereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively
as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent at an email address provided by the Administrative Agent from
time to time; provided that (i) upon written request by the Administrative Agent, Holdings or the Borrower shall deliver
paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each Lender until a written request to
cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent and (ii) Holdings or the Borrower shall notify (which may be
by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative
Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for
timely accessing posted documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining
its copies of such documents. Nothing in this Section 13.17 shall prejudice the right of Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, any other Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner
specified in such Credit Document.
The Administrative Agent
agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute
effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that
notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute
effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify
the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address
to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail
address.
(a) Each
of Holdings and the Borrower further agrees that any Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the
Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”), so
long as the access to such Platform (i) is limited to the Agents, the Lenders and Transferees or prospective Transferees and (ii)
remains subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 13.16.
(b) THE
PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS
OF ANY MATERIALS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE CREDIT PARTIES (THE “BORROWER MATERIALS”) OR THE ADEQUACY OF
THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON- INFRINGEMENT OF
THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS
OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”
and each an “Agent Party”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any
Agent Party resulted from such Agent Party’s (or any of its Related Parties’ (other than any trustee or advisor)) gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Credit Documents as determined in the final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Each
of Holdings and the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (Lenders
that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or their securities)
and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to the Credit Documents or otherwise are being distributed through
the Platform, any document or notice that Holdings or the Borrower has indicated contains only publicly available information with
respect to Holdings or the Borrower may be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If Holdings
or the Borrower has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered contains only publicly available information, the Administrative
Agent shall post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive material
nonpublic information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each of Holdings and the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to indicate whether any document or notice contains
only publicly available information.
Section
13.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit
Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
(the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party,
which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify
each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.
Section
13.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining
judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Credit Document in one currency into another
currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent
could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or
under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”)
other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent
of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than
the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate
obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation
was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or
to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
Section
13.20 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by
or on behalf of Holdings or 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 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 upon demand its applicable share 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 applicable Overnight
Rate from time to time in effect.
Section
13.21 Special Provisions Relating to Currencies Other Than Dollars.
All funds to be made available to Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement
in any currency other than Dollars shall be made available to Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable,
in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds to such account with such bank in such principal financial center
as the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, shall from time to time nominate for this purpose.
In relation to the payment of any amount denominated in any currency other than Dollars, neither the Administrative Agent nor
the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to Borrower or any of the Lenders for any delay, or the consequences of any delay,
in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent or the Letter
of Credit Issuer if the Administrative Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer shall have taken all relevant and necessary steps to achieve,
on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds
(in the relevant currency) to the account with the bank in the principal financial center in the Participating Member State which
the Borrower or, as the case may be, any Lender shall have specified for such purpose. In this Section 13.21, “all
relevant and necessary steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating
procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer may from time to time
determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of such currency. Furthermore, and without limiting the foregoing,
neither the Administrative Agent nor the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to the Borrower or any of the Lenders with respect
to the foregoing matters in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

GUARANTEE
THIS GUARANTEE dated as of April 24, 2015 by each
of the signatories listed on the signature pages hereto and each of the other entities that becomes a party hereto pursuant to
Section 20 (the “Guarantors,” and individually, a “Guarantor”), in favor of the Collateral
Agent (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Credit
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, refinanced or
replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among ROLLER BEARING COMPANY OF AMERICA, INC., a Delaware
corporation (“Borrower”), RBC BEARINGS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”),
the Guarantors, certain other parties thereto and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent,
Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer and the other parties party thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, the Lenders
have severally agreed to make Loans to the Borrower, the Swingline Lender has agreed to make Swingline Loans and the Letter of
Credit Issuer has agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (collectively,
the “Extensions of Credit”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and one or more Cash
Management Banks or Hedge Banks may from time to time enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements
with Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries;
WHEREAS, the Borrower is a direct wholly-owned
Subsidiary of Holdings and each Guarantor is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Holdings;
WHEREAS, the Extensions of Credit will be used
in part to enable valuable transfers to the Guarantors in connection with the operation of their respective businesses;
WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will
derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the Extensions of Credit; and
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation
of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer to make their respective Extensions of Credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement
that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
and to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer to enter into the Credit
Agreement, to induce the Lenders, Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer to make their respective Extensions of Credit
to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and to induce one or more Cash Management Banks or Hedge Banks to enter into Secured
Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements with Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries, the Guarantors hereby agree with
the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as follows:
1. Defined
Terms.
(a)
Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the
meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.
(b) The
words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guarantee
shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and Section references are to Sections
of this Guarantee unless otherwise specified. The words “include”, “includes” and “including”
shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.
(c) The
meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
2. Guarantee.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of Section 3 and Section 21, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the prompt
and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations
of anyone other than such Guarantor (including amounts that would become due for operation of the automatic stay under 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a));.
(b) Each
Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all expenses (including all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one counsel
and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) that may be paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting,
any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, the Guarantors under this Guarantee.
(c) Each
Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor
hereunder without impairing this Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
hereunder.
(d) No
payment or payments made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected
by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other
guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time
or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect
the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, other than payments made by
such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or payments received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations,
remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations under the Credit
Documents are paid in full, the Commitments are terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding or the Letters of Credit
Outstanding shall have been Cash Collateralized.
(e) Each
Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Collateral Agent in writing that such payment is made under
this Guarantee for such purpose.
The Collateral Agent shall have its own independent
right to demand payment of the amounts payable by each applicable Guarantor under this Section 2, irrespective of any discharge
of such Guarantor's obligations to pay those amounts to the other Secured Parties resulting from failure by them to take appropriate
steps in insolvency proceedings affecting that Guarantor to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts.
Any amount due and payable by a Guarantor to the
Collateral Agent under this Section 2 shall be decreased to the extent that the other Secured Parties have received (and are able
to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Credit Documents and any amount due and
payable by a Guarantor to the Collateral Agent under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent that the Collateral Agent
has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under this Section 2.
3. Limitation
of Guarantee. Anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each
Guarantor hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor
under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable laws relating to fraudulent conveyances, fraudulent transfers or the insolvency of
debtors.
4. Right
of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate
share of any payment made hereunder (including by way of set-off rights being exercised against it), such Guarantor shall be entitled
to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of such
payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6 hereof. The
provisions of this Section 4 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder.
5. Right
of Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Secured Parties provided by law, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably
authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, without notice to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor,
upon any amount becoming due and payable by such Guarantor hereunder (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account
of such Guarantor. Each Secured Party shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the appropriation and application
made by such Secured Party, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
6. No
Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any of the Guarantors hereunder or any set-off or appropriation
and application of funds of any of the Guarantors by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled
to be subrogated to any of the rights (or if subrogated by operation of law, such Guarantor hereby waives such rights to the extent
permitted by applicable law) of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any Guarantor or any collateral
security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of any of the
Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any Guarantor
or other guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, in each case, until all amounts owing to the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties on account of the Obligations under the Credit Documents are paid in full, the Commitments
are terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding or the Letters of Credit outstanding shall have been Cash Collateralized.
If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all the Obligations shall not
have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral
Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be
applied against the Obligations, whether due or to become due, in such order as the Collateral Agent may determine (provided
that the liability of the Belgian Guarantor hereunder and under Section 2 shall not in the aggregate exceed the limitation set
forth in Section 3).
7. Amendments,
etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, (a) any demand
for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and
any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any
collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part,
be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party, (c) the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Letters of Credit and any other documents executed
and delivered in connection therewith and the Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements and any other documents
executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the
Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Secured Cash Management Agreement or
Secured Hedge Agreement, the Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank party thereto) may deem advisable from time to time and (d) any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment
of any of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured
Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations
or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Guarantor, the Collateral Agent
or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Borrower or any Guarantor or
any other person, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any
payments from the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other person or any release of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other person
shall not relieve any Guarantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Guarantor not so released of its
several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as
a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand”
shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
8. Guarantee
Absolute and Unconditional.
(a) Each
Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, contraction, incurrence, renewal, extension, amendment, waiver or accrual
of any of the Obligations, and notice of or proof of reliance by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon this Guarantee
or acceptance of this Guarantee. All Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or
renewed, extended, amended, waived or accrued, in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and any of
the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively
presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each
Guarantor waives diligence, promptness, presentment, protest and notice of protest, demand for payment or performance, notice of
default or nonpayment, notice of acceptance and any other notice in respect of the Obligations or any part of them, and any defense
arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations.
Each Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee
of payment without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document,
any Letter of Credit, any Secured Cash Management Agreement, any Secured Hedge Agreement, any of the Obligations or any collateral
security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance)
that may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or
(c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) that constitutes,
or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor
under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor,
the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it
may have against the Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right
of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to pursue such other rights
or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security
or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower or any such other Person or any such collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve such Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect
the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties against such Guarantor.
(b) This
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Guarantor
and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and
their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until all Obligations under the Credit Documents (other than any
contingent indemnity obligations not then due, any Secured Hedge Obligations or any Secured Cash Management Obligations) shall
have been satisfied by payment in full, the Commitments thereunder shall be terminated and no Letters of Credit thereunder shall
be outstanding (except to the extent that the Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized), notwithstanding that from time
to time during the term of the Credit Agreement and any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement the Credit
Parties may be free from any Obligations.
(c) A
Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be automatically
released under the circumstances described in Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) The
Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Secured Parties, the Obligations under the Credit
Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11 of the Credit Agreement (and shall be deemed
to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in such Section) for purposes of Section 2,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically
due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become
automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 2.
9. Reinstatement.
This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof,
of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result
of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor
or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
10. Payments.
Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Collateral Agent without set-off or counterclaim in
Dollars (based on the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Obligations on the date of payment) at the Collateral Agent’s office.
Each Guarantor agrees that the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 13.19 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to such Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guarantee.
11. Representations
and Warranties; Covenants.
(a) Each
Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8 of the Credit Agreement
as they relate to such Guarantor and in the other Credit Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, each of which is hereby
incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (except where such representations
and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in
all material respects as of such earlier date), and the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be entitled to rely
on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein.
(b) Each
Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party that, from and after the date of this
Guarantee until the Obligations are paid in full, the Commitments are terminated and no Letter of Credit remains outstanding or
the Letters of Credit Outstanding have been Cash Collateralized, such Guarantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the
case may be, all actions that are reasonably necessary to be taken or not taken so that no violation of any provision, covenant
or agreement contained in Section 9 or Section 10 of the Credit Agreement and so that no Default or Event of Default,
is caused by any act or failure to act of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.
12. Authority
of the Collateral Agent.
(a) The
Collateral Agent enters into this Guarantee in its capacity as agent for the Secured Parties from time to time. The rights and
obligations of the Collateral Agent under this Guarantee at any time are the rights and obligations of the Secured Parties at that
time. Each of the Secured Parties has (subject to the terms of the Credit Documents) a several entitlement to each such right,
and a several liability in respect of each such obligation, in the proportions described in the Credit Documents. The rights, remedies
and discretions of the Secured Parties, or any of them, under this Guarantee may be exercised by the Collateral Agent. No party
to this Guarantee is obliged to inquire whether an exercise by the Collateral Agent of any such right, remedy or discretion is
within the Collateral Agent’s authority as agent for the Secured Parties.
(b) Each
party to this Guarantee acknowledges and agrees that any changes (in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents) in
the identity of the persons from time to time comprising the Secured Parties gives rise to an equivalent change in the Secured
Parties, without any further act. Upon such an occurrence, the persons then comprising the Secured Parties are vested with the
rights, remedies and discretions and assume the obligations of the Secured Parties under this Guarantee. Each party to this Guarantee
irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to give effect to the change in Lenders contemplated in this Section 12(b) by countersigning
an Assignment and Acceptance.
(c) Neither
the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be liable to
any party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Guarantee or any Credit Document
(except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction).
13. Notices.
All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement. All communications
and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of Holdings at the Holdings’ address set forth in Section
13.2 of the Credit Agreement.
14. Counterparts.
This Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Guarantee on any number of separate counterparts (including
by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and
the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Guarantee signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Collateral Agent
and Holdings.
15. Severability.
Any provision of this Guarantee that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
16. Integration.
This Guarantee, together with the other Credit Documents and each other document in respect
of any Secured Hedge Agreement and any Secured Cash Management Agreement, represents the agreement of each Guarantor and
the Collateral Agent with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties
by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to
herein or in the other Credit Documents or each other document in respect of any Secured
Hedge Agreement or any Secured Cash Management Agreement.
17. Amendments
in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(a) None
of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with
Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Neither
the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 17(a)),
delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default
or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising,
on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of
any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent
or any Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.
(c) The
rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive
of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
18. Section
Headings. The Section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction
hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
19. Successors
and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit
of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns except that no Guarantor may
assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent.
20. Additional
Guarantors. Each Subsidiary of Holdings that is required to become a party to this Guarantee pursuant to Section 9.11 of the
Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein, for all
purposes of this Guarantee, upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a written supplement substantially in the form of
Annex A hereto (each such written supplement, a “Guarantor Supplement”). The execution and delivery of any instrument
adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Guarantee shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The
rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new
Guarantor as a party to this Guarantee.
21. Additional
Jurisdictions. In the event that a Subsidiary of Holdings is to become a party to this Guarantee as required by Section 9.11
of the Credit Agreement or otherwise and at such time such additional Guarantor is not organized in one of the jurisdictions of
a Guarantor that is or has already been a signatory hereto, then the Guarantor Supplement (as defined below) to be executed and
delivered by such additional Guarantor shall include guarantee limitation provisions, corporate benefit, tax and other provisions
customary for such jurisdiction as the Collateral Agent and such additional Guarantor may reasonably agree based on the advice
of legal counsel (which may be legal counsel for such Guarantor).
22. WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING
RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
23. Submission
to Jurisdiction; Waivers; Service of Process. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits
for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Guarantee and the other Credit Documents to which
it is a party to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, the courts
of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents
that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to
the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court
and agrees not to plead or claim the same or to commence or support any such action or proceeding in any other courts;
(c) agrees
that service of process in any such action or proceeding shall be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified
mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s
address set forth on Schedule 13.2 of the Credit Agreement or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall
have been notified pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement;
(d) agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against Holdings or the Borrower or any other
Credit Party in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives,
to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred
to in this Section 23 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
24. GOVERNING
LAW. THIS GUARANTEE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
[Signature pages follow]

2015, among Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), RBC Bearings Incorporated,
a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), each of the Subsidiaries listed on the signature pages hereto or that becomes

Agent”) for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Borrower is a party to the Credit
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, refinanced or
replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders from time to
time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent;
WHEREAS, (a) pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
the Lenders have severally agreed to make Loans to the Borrower, the Swingline Lender has agreed to make Swingline Loans and the

the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and (b) one or more Cash Management Banks or Hedge Banks may from

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Guarantee dated as of
the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guarantee”),
each Grantor party thereto has agreed to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee, as primary obligor and not merely as surety,
to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether
at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations;
WHEREAS, each Grantor is a Guarantor or the Borrower;
WHEREAS, the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance
of the Letters of Credit and the provision of Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements will be used in part
to enable the Borrower to make valuable transfers to the Grantors in connection with the operation of their respective businesses;
WHEREAS, each Grantor acknowledges that it will
derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the Loans and the Swingline Loans and the issuance of the Letters
of Credit; and the provision of such Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements;
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation
of the Lenders to make their respective Loans, the Swingline Lender to make Swingline loans and to the obligation of the Letter

and to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the

to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement and to induce

5. Remedial
Provisions.
5.1 Certain
Matters Relating to Accounts.
(a) At
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after giving reasonable notice to the Borrower
and any other relevant Grantor, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to instruct the Collateral
Agent to (and upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall) make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and through
any medium that the Administrative Agent reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and
information as the Collateral Agent may require in connection with such test verifications. The Collateral Agent shall have the
absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.
(b) The
Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Accounts and the Collateral Agent may curtail or
terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required in writing
by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Accounts,
when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in
the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained
under the sole dominion and control of and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, subject to
withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 5.5 and (ii) until so turned
over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such
Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature
and source of the payments included in the deposit.
(c) At
the Collateral Agent’s request at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject
to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents
evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Accounts, including all original orders, invoices
and shipping receipts.
(d) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, a Grantor shall not grant any extension of the time of payment
of any of the Accounts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly,
any Person liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon if the Collateral Agent shall have
instructed the Grantors not to grant or make any such extension, credit, discount, compromise or settlement under any circumstances
during the continuance of such Event of Default.
(e) Effective
solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement,
each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, assign,
license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral and now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor
(subject to the rights of any person or entity under any pre-existing Copyright License, Patent License, Trademark License or other
agreements). Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to
all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.1
shall require any Grantor to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation or is prohibited by,
or constitutes a breach of default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to any right of acceleration, modification
or cancellation under any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to a right to use
or theretofore granted with respect to such property, provided, further, that such licenses to be granted hereunder
with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the commercially reasonable quality control standards applicable to each such Trademark
as in effect as of the date such licenses hereunder are granted.
5.2 Communications
with Credit Parties; Grantors Remain Liable.
(a) The
Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, after giving reasonable notice to the relevant Grantor of
its intent to do so, communicate with obligors under the Accounts to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction
the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it
gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.
(b) Upon
the written request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Accounts that the Accounts have
been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made
directly to the Collateral Agent.
(c) Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all
the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement
giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account
(or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral
Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in
any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto),
to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency
of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect
the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
5.3 Proceeds
to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified
in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Accounts, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent,
subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, so requires by notice in writing to the relevant Grantor (it being understood
that the exercise of remedies by the Secured Parties in connection with an Event of Default under Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement
shall be deemed to constitute a request by the Collateral Agent for the purposes of this sentence and in such circumstances, no
such written notice shall be required), all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near cash items
shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor,
and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor
(duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall
be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its dominion and control and on terms and conditions reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor
in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations
and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.4.
5.4 Application
of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral as well as any Collateral
consisting of cash, at any time after receipt in the order set forth in the order set forth in Section 11.13 of the Credit Agreement.
If, despite the provisions of this Security Agreement, any Secured
Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Obligations to which it
is then entitled in accordance with this Security Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust
for its benefit and the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with this Section 5.4.
5.5 Code
and Other Remedies. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein
or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC or any other applicable
law and also may with notice to the relevant Grantor, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public
or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere
for cash or on credit or for future delivery at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable irrespective
of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale
(if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral to Persons who will represent
and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution
or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver
to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely
free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights
of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent and any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and,
to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the
Collateral Agent or such Secured Party may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Obligations. Each
Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.
The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The
Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor,
and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the extent permitted
by law, each Grantor hereby waives any claim against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which
any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale,
even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each
Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral
Agent, at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The
Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.5 in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5.4.
5.6 Deficiency.
Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient
to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to
collect such deficiency.
5.7 Amendments,
etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Grantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against any Grantor and without notice to or further assent by any Grantor, (a) any demand for
payment of any of the Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any
of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed,
extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party, (c) the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith
and the Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection
therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required
Lenders, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, the Hedge Bank
or Cash Management Bank party thereto may deem advisable from time to time and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right
of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged,
waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect,
secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Security Agreement or any
property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any Grantor or any other Person, and any failure by the Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any Grantor or any other Person or any
release of any Grantor or any other Person shall not relieve any Grantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made
or any Grantor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and
remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Grantor. For
the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
6. The
Collateral Agent.
6.1 Collateral
Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) Each
Grantor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable (until termination of this Security Agreement in accordance with Section
6.5) and coupled with an interest, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying
out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments
that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, and, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, either in the
Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, without assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of
the following, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after written notice by
the Collateral Agent of its intent to do so:
(i) take
possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due
under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court
of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys
due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in
the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and
papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ Security
Interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented
thereby;
(iii) pay
or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
(iv) execute,
in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.5, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer
with respect to the Collateral;
(v) obtain
and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement;
(vi) direct
any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder
directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct;
(vii) ask
or demand for, collect and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due
at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;
(viii) sign
and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments,
verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral;
(ix) commence
and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral
or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;
(x) defend
any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral (with such Grantor’s consent to
the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than
with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral);
(xi) settle,
compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the
Collateral Agent may deem appropriate (with such Grantor’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could materially
affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral);
(xii) assign
any Intellectual Property (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Intellectual Property pertains), throughout
the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion
determine; and
(xiii) generally,
sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely
as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option
and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems necessary
to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ Security Interests
therein and to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a)
unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If
any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without
any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) The
expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with
interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category
of past due ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the
relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.
(d) Each
Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations
and agencies contained in this Security Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Security Agreement
is terminated and the Security Interests created hereby are released.
6.2 Duty
of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation
of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as
the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral
or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers
conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the
Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually
receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own respective gross negligence or
willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent
shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence,
value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon,
or any certificate prepared by any Grantor in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to
the Secured Parties for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
6.3 Authority
of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Security
Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any
option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Security
Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Intercreditor Agreement and the Credit
Agreement, and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral
Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the applicable Secured Parties
with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to
make any inquiry respecting such authority.
6.4 Security
Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of the Grantors
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional.
6.5 Continuing
Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement; Release.
(a) This
Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon
each Grantor and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until all Obligations (other than, in each case, any
contingent indemnity obligations not then due, any Secured Hedge Obligations or any Secured Cash Management Obligations) shall
have been satisfied by payment in full, the Commitments shall be terminated and all Letters of Credit have expired or terminated
and after all Letter of Credit Outstandings have been reduced to zero (or all such Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Outstandings
have been Cash Collateralized) notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement, the Credit Parties
may be free from any Obligations.
(b) A
Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder if it ceases to be a Credit Party in accordance with Section
13.1 of the Credit.
(c) The
Security Interest granted hereby in any Collateral shall automatically be released (i) to the extent provided in Section 13.1 of
the Credit Agreement and (ii) upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interest granted hereby
in such Collateral pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement. Any such release in connection with any sale, transfer or
other disposition of such Collateral to a Person that is not a Credit Party permitted under the Credit Agreement shall result in
such Collateral being sold, transferred or disposed of, as applicable, free and clear of the Lien and Security Interest created
hereby.
(d) In
connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver
to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination
or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
Collateral Agent.
6.6 Reinstatement.
Each Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at
any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required
to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party,
its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability
shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted
hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation
or surrender, such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender
shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of any
Grantor in respect of the amount of such payment.
7. Collateral
Agent As Agent.
(a) Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association has been appointed to act as the Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement, by the Lenders under
the Credit Agreement and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be
obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights,
and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with
this Security Agreement and the Credit Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising,
any remedies provided for in Section 5 in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. In furtherance of the foregoing
provisions of this Section 7(a), each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right
individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, except to the extent specifically set forth in Section 5 of the Guarantee,
it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral
Agent for the ratable benefit of the applicable Lenders and Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 7(a).
(b) The
Collateral Agent shall at all times be the same Person that is the Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice
of resignation by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 12.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation
as Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement; removal of the Collateral Agent shall also constitute removal under this Security
Agreement; and appointment of a Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 12.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment
of a successor Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent under
Section 12.9 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Security
Agreement, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor
Collateral Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents
necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Security
Agreement and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments
to financing statements and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such
successor Collateral Agent of the Security Interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Security Agreement. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Security Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Security Agreement while it was Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c) Neither
the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be liable to
any party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Security Agreement or any
Security Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Intercreditor
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Security Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder, are subject to the
provisions of any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”). In the event of any conflict
between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Security Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement
shall govern and control. No right, power or remedy granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be exercised by the Collateral
Agent, and no direction shall be given by the Collateral Agent, in contravention of the Intercreditor Agreement.
8.2 Amendments
in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
except by a written instrument executed by the affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 13.1 of the
Credit Agreement.
8.3 Notices.
All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement. All communications
and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in care of Holdings at Holdings’ address set forth in Section 13.2
of the Credit Agreement.
8.4 No
Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except
by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.2), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or
remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof.
No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver
by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed
as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.
The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not
exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
8.5 Enforcement
Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) Each
Grantor agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements
of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) that may be paid or incurred by any Secured Party in
enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations
and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, such Grantor under this Security Agreement.
(b) Each
Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect
to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes that may be payable or determined to
be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement.
(c) Each
Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect
to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Security Agreement to the extent the Borrower would
be required to do so pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) The
agreements in this Section 8.5 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement
and the other Credit Documents.
8.6 Successors
and Assigns. The provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its
rights or obligations under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent except pursuant to
a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement.
8.7 Counterparts.
This Security Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Security Agreement on any number of separate counterparts
(including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute
one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Security Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the
Collateral Agent and Holdings.
8.8 Severability.
Any provision of this Security Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and
any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth herein or in the other Credit Documents.
8.11 GOVERNING
LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
8.12 Submission
To Jurisdiction Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(d) agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent, Lender or any Secured Party to effect service of process

(e) waives,
to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred

(b) neither
the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in

that of debtor and creditor; and
(c) no
joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated
hereby among the Lenders and any other Secured Party or among the Grantors and the Lenders and any other Secured Party.

Agreement shall become a Subsidiary Grantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein, for all
purposes of this Security Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a written supplement substantially in the
form of Annex A hereto. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement
shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement.
8.15 WAIVER

PLEDGE AGREEMENT
PLEDGE AGREEMENT, dated as of April 24, 2015,
among RBC Bearings Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), each of the Subsidiaries listed on the signature pages hereto or that becomes
a party hereto pursuant to Section 30 hereof (each such Subsidiary being a “Subsidiary Pledgor”
and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Pledgors”; the Subsidiary Pledgors, Holdings and the Borrower are referred
to collectively as the “Pledgors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral agent (in such
capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Borrower is party to the Credit Agreement,
dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, refinanced or replaced from
time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Holdings, the Lenders from time to time party thereto
and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent;
WHEREAS, (a) pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
the Lenders have severally agreed to make Loans to the Borrower, the Swingline Lender has agreed to make Swingline Loans and the
Letter of Credit Issuer has agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and (b) one or more Cash Management Banks or Hedge Banks may from
time to time enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements with Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Guarantee, dated as of
the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guarantee”),
each Pledgor has agreed to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations (as defined below);
WHEREAS, the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance
of the Letters of Credit and the provision of Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements will be used in part
to enable the Borrower to make valuable transfers to the Pledgors in connection with the operation of their respective businesses;
WHEREAS, each Pledgor acknowledges that it will
derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the provision
of Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements;
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation
of the Lenders to make their respective Loans and to the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit under
the Credit Agreement that the Pledgors shall have executed and delivered this Pledge Agreement to the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties; and
WHEREAS, (a) the Pledgors are the legal and beneficial
owners of the Equity Interests, described in Schedule 1 hereto and issued by the entities named therein (such Equity Interests
are, together with any Equity Interests of the issuer of such Equity Interests or any other Subsidiary directly held by any Pledgor
in the future (the “After-acquired Shares”), in each case, except to the extent excluded from the Collateral
for the applicable Obligations pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2 below, referred to collectively herein as the “Pledged
Shares”) and (b) each of the Pledgors is the legal and beneficial owner of the Indebtedness described in Schedule 1 hereto
(together with any other Indebtedness owed to any Pledgor hereafter and required to be pledged pursuant to Section 9.12 of the
Credit Agreement, the “Pledged Debt”);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
and to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the
Lenders to make their respective Loans, the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans and the Letter of Credit Issuers to issue
Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement and to induce one
or more Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders to enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements with Holdings
and/or its Subsidiaries, the Pledgors hereby agree with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as follows:
1. Defined
Terms.
(a) Unless
otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit
Agreement. Sections 1.2 and 1.5 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis. Any term used herein
or in the Credit Agreement without definition that is defined in the UCC has the meaning given to it in the UCC.
(b) “Equity
Interests” shall mean, collectively, Stock and Stock Equivalents.
(c) “UCC”
shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as from time to time in effect in the State of New York; provided, however,
that, in the event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any of the attachment, perfection or priority of the Collateral
Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as
in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the term “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions hereof relating to such attachment, perfection or priority
and for purposes of definitions related to such provisions.
(d) The
words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Pledge
Agreement shall refer to this Pledge Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Pledge Agreement, and Section
references are to Sections of this Pledge Agreement unless otherwise specified. The words “include”, “includes”
and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.
(e) The
meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
2. Grant
of Security. Each Pledgor hereby transfers, assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
and grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a lien on and a security interest in (the “Security
Interest”) all of such Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether now owned or
existing or at any time hereafter acquired or existing (collectively, the “Collateral”):
(a) the
Pledged Shares held by such Pledgor and the certificates representing such Pledged Shares and any interest of such Pledgor in the
entries on the books of the issuer of the Pledged Shares or any financial intermediary pertaining to the Pledged Shares and all
dividends, cash, warrants, rights, instruments and other property or Proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares.
(b) the
Pledged Debt and the instruments evidencing the Pledged Debt owed to such Pledgor, and all interest, cash, instruments and other
property or Proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all
of such Pledged Debt; and
(c) to
the extent not covered by clauses (a) and (b) above, respectively, all Proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral
for the Obligations shall not include any Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents.
3. Security
for Obligations. This Pledge Agreement secures the payment of all the Obligations of each Credit Party. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, this Pledge Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and
would be owed by any of the Credit Parties to the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable
or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Credit Party.
4. Delivery
of the Collateral. All certificates or instruments, if any, representing or evidencing the Collateral shall be promptly (and
in any event (i) with respect to any certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral in existence on the date
hereof, on the date hereof and (ii) with respect to certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral acquired
after the date hereof, within 45 days of such acquisition, or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may reasonably agree)
delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto to the extent required by the Credit Agreement and
shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment
in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have the right,
at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
and with notice to the relevant Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees
any or all of the Pledged Shares.
5. Representations
and Warranties. Each Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Schedule
1 hereto (i) correctly represents as of the Closing Date (A) the issuer, the certificate number, the Pledgor and the record and
beneficial owner, the number and class and the percentage of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of such class of all Equity
Interests held by such Pledgor (other than Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents) and (B) the issuer, the initial principal amount,
the Pledgor and holder, date of issuance and maturity date of all Indebtedness evidenced by a promissory note or Instruments held
by such Pledgor and (ii) together with the comparable schedule to each supplement hereto, includes all Equity Interests, debt securities
and promissory notes required to be pledged hereunder. Except as set forth on Schedule 1, and except for Excluded Stock and Stock
Equivalents, the Pledged Shares represent all (or 66% in the case of pledges of the Voting Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries) of the
issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each class of Equity Interests in the issuer on the Closing Date.
(b) Such
Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral pledged or assigned by such Pledgor hereunder free and clear of any
Lien, except for Permitted Liens and the Lien created by this Pledge Agreement.
(c) As
of the Closing Date, the Pledged Shares pledged by such Pledgor hereunder have been duly authorized and validly issued and, in
the case of Pledged Shares issued by a corporation, are fully paid and non-assessable.
(d) The
execution and delivery by such Pledgor of this Pledge Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral pledged by such Pledgor hereunder
pursuant hereto create a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in such Collateral (with respect to Collateral consisting
of the Equity Interests of Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent the creation of such Security Interest is governed by the UCC) and,
upon delivery of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent in the State of New York, shall constitute a fully perfected first priority
Lien on and security interest in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), securing the payment of the Obligations, in favor
of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (with respect to Collateral consisting of the Equity Interests of
Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent the creation and perfection of such Security Interest is governed by the UCC), except as enforceability
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject
to general principles of equity.
(e) Such
Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all the Collateral pledged by such Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge
Agreement and this Pledge Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Pledgor (with respect to Collateral
consisting of the Equity Interests of Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent the enforceability of such Security Interest is governed
by the UCC), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.
6. Certification
of Limited Liability Company, Limited Partnership Interests, Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries and Pledged Debt.
(a) No
Pledgor shall take any action to cause any membership interest, partnership interest or other equity interest of any limited liability
company or limited partnership owned or controlled by any Pledgor comprising of Collateral to be or become a “security”
within the meaning of, or to be governed by Article 8 of the UCC; provided, however in the event that any Equity
Interests in any Subsidiary that is organized as a limited liability company or limited partnership and pledged hereunder is represented
by a certificate, the applicable Pledgor shall cause such certificate to be delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto and
shall cause the issuer of such interests to elect to treat such interests as a “security” within the meaning of Article
8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, as applicable, by including in its organizational
documents language substantially similar to the following and, accordingly, such interests shall be governed by Article 8 of the
Uniform Commercial Code:
“The Partnership/Company hereby irrevocably elects
that all membership interests in the Partnership/Company shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code
of [jurisdiction of organization or formation, as applicable]. Each certificate evidencing partnership/membership interests in
the Partnership/Company shall bear the following legend: “This certificate evidences an interest in [name of Partnership/LLC]
and shall be a security for purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.” No change to this provision shall be effective
until all outstanding certificates have been surrendered for cancellation and any new certificates thereafter issued shall not
bear the foregoing legend.”
(b) Each
Pledgor will comply with Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement.
(c) In
the event that any Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiary pledged hereunder are not represented by a certificate, the Pledgors
agree not to permit such Foreign Subsidiary to issue Equity Interests represented by a certificate to any other Person.
7. Further
Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, it will execute or
otherwise authorize and does hereby authorize the filing of any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and
instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages,
deeds of trust and other documents), which may be required under any applicable law, or which the Collateral Agent or the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request, in order (x) to perfect and protect any pledge, assignment or security interest granted or purported
to be granted hereby (including the priority thereof) or (y) to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights
and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.
8. Voting
Rights; Dividends and Distributions; Etc.
(a) So
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) Each
Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof
for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Pledge Agreement or the other Credit Documents.
(ii) The
Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments
as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights that it
is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above.
(b) Subject
to paragraph (c) below, each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain and use, free and clear of the Lien created by this
Pledge Agreement, any and all dividends, distributions, principal and interest made or paid in respect of the Collateral to the
extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that any and all noncash dividends, interest,
principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Shares (other than Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents) or Pledged
Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of
any Pledged Shares or received in exchange for Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or
as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise,
shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by such Pledgor,
be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor and
be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
(c) Upon
written notice to a Pledgor by the Collateral Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
(i) all
rights of such Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be
entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral
Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights
during the continuance of such Event of Default, provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral
Agent shall have the right from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject
to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, to permit the Pledgors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default
have been cured or waived, each Pledgor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights that such Pledgor would
otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 8(a)(i) (and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under Section
8(a)(ii) shall be reinstated);
(ii) all
rights of such Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that such Pledgor would otherwise
be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(b) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in
the Collateral Agent, which, subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, shall thereupon have the sole right
to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments during the continuance of such
Event of Default. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall repay to each Pledgor (without
interest) all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that such Pledgor would otherwise be permitted to receive,
retain and use pursuant to the terms of Section 8(b);
(iii) all
dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that are received by such Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section
8(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent shall be segregated from other property or funds of such
Pledgor and shall forthwith be delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsements); and
(iv) in
order to permit the Collateral Agent to receive all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments to which it may
be entitled under Section 8(b) above, to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant
to Section 8(c)(i) above, and to receive all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that it may be entitled
to under Sections 8(c)(ii) and (c)(iii) above, such Pledgor shall from time to time execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent,
appropriate proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in writing, subject
to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
9. Transfers
and Other Liens; Additional Collateral; Etc. Subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, each Pledgor shall:
(a) not
(i) except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or warrant with respect to,
any of the Collateral or (ii) create or suffer to exist any consensual Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except
for the Lien created by this Pledge Agreement provided that in the event such Pledgor sells or otherwise disposes assets
to a Person that is not a Credit Party as permitted by the Credit Agreement, and such assets are or include any of the Collateral,
upon the request of the applicable Pledgor the Collateral Agent shall release such Collateral to such Pledgor free and clear of
the Lien created by this Pledge Agreement concurrently with the consummation of such sale subject to, if reasonably requested by
the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent’s receipt of a certification by the Borrower and the applicable Pledgor stating
that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and
(b) defend
its and the Collateral Agent’s title or interest in and to all the Collateral (and in the Proceeds thereof) against any and
all Liens (other than Permitted Liens and the Lien created by this Pledge Agreement), however arising, and any and all Persons
whomsoever.
10. Collateral
Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable (until termination of this
Pledge Agreement in accordance with Section 14) and coupled with an interest, the Collateral Agent as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact,
with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, to take any action and
to execute any instrument, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and with notice
to such Pledgor), that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge
Agreement, including to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend, distribution
or principal or interest payment in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
11. The
Collateral Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral
in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to
any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other
matters relative to any Pledged Shares, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation
of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent
accords its own property. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation
or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral
Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent
be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
12. Remedies.
Subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The
Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC or any other applicable law (whether
or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may with notice to the relevant Pledgor, sell the Collateral or any
part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange broker’s board or at any of the Collateral
Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such price or prices and upon such other terms
as are commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Collateral
Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers
of Collateral to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment
and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have
the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any
such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby
waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall
have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase all or any
part of the Collateral so sold, and the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount
thereof against the Obligations. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten
days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made
shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless
of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law, each Pledgor hereby waives any claim against the Collateral Agent arising by reason
of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might
have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral
to more than one offeree.
(b) The
Collateral Agent shall apply the Proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral in the manner specified in Section 11.13
of the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted
by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient
discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see
to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any
way for the misapplication thereof.
(c) The
Collateral Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies of each Pledgor in respect of the Collateral.
(d) All
payments received by any Pledgor in respect of the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor
and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
13. Amendments,
etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Pledgor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against any Pledgor and without notice to or further assent by any Pledgor, (a) any demand for
payment of any of the Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any
of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed,
extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party, (c) the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith
and the Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection
therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required
Lenders, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, the Hedge Bank
or Cash Management Bank party thereto) may deem advisable from time to time and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right
of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged,
waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect,
secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Pledge Agreement or any property
subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but
shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any Pledgor or any other Person, and any failure by the Collateral Agent
or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any Pledgor or any other Person or any release
of the Company or any Pledgor or any other Person shall not relieve any Pledgor in respect of which a demand or collection is not
made or any Pledgor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights
and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Pledgor.
For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
14. Continuing
Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement; Release.
(a) This
Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each
Pledgor and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns until all the Obligations under the Credit Documents (other
than, in each case, any contingent indemnity obligations not then due, any Secured Hedge Obligations or any Secured Cash Management
Obligations) shall have been satisfied by payment in full, the Commitments shall be terminated and all Letters of Credit have expired
or terminated and after all Letter of Credit Outstandings have been reduced to zero (or all such Letters of Credit and Letter of
Credit Outstandings have been Cash Collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuers),
notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Credit Parties may be free from any Obligations.
(b) Any
Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Collateral of such Pledgor shall be automatically
released as it relates to the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) upon such Pledgor ceasing to be a Credit Party in
accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.
(c) The
Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens of this Pledge Agreement as it relates to the Obligations (as defined
in the Credit Agreement) (i) to the extent provided for in Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) upon the effectiveness
of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Credit
Agreement. Any such release in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral to a Person that is not
a Credit Party permitted under the Credit Agreement shall result in such Collateral being sold, transferred or disposed of, as
applicable, free and clear of the Liens of this Pledge Agreement.
(d) In
connection with any termination or release pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall execute
and deliver to any Pledgor or authorize the filing of, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without
recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
15. Reinstatement.
Each Pledgor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at
any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required
to be refunded or repaid, or the Proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party,
its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person, including any Pledgor, under any bankruptcy law, state, federal or foreign law,
common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability

hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation
