provided that such confidential information shall not be used by any Commitment Party or any other member of its Arranger Group in performing services or providing advice to any Third Party or (iv) use permanent or ad hoc arrangements/information barriers between and within each Commitment Party’s divisions or divisions of other members of such Commitment Party’s Arranger Group for this purpose without locating directors, officers or employees in separate workplaces, (c) information that is held elsewhere within any Commitment Party or its Arranger Group, but of which none of the individual directors, officers, employees or other individuals having primary responsibility for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter actually has knowledge (or can properly obtain knowledge without breach of internal procedures), shall not for any purpose be taken into account in determining our responsibilities to you hereunder, (d) no Commitment Party and no other member of its Arranger Group shall have any duty to disclose to you, or utilize for your benefit, any non-public information acquired in the course of providing services to any other person, engaging in any transaction (on such Commitment Party’s or any of its affiliates’ own account or otherwise) or otherwise carrying on its or their business, and (e) (i) no Commitment Party nor any of our affiliates has assumed any advisory responsibility or any other obligation in favor of the Company or any of its affiliates except the obligations expressly provided for under the Debt Financing Letters and except as agreed between you and any Commitment Party in a separate engagement letter, (ii) each Commitment Party and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company and its affiliates, on the other hand, have an arm’s-length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor does the Company or any of its affiliates rely on, any advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or any fiduciary or other implied duty on the part of such Commitment Party or any of its affiliates and (iii) each Commitment Party is (and is affiliated with) a full service financial firm and as such may effect from time to time transactions for its own account or the account of customers, and hold long or short positions in debt, equity-linked or equity securities or loans of companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter (and, in particular, the Arranger and any other member of its Arranger Group may at any time hold debt or equity securities for our or its own account in the Company).  With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Commitment Party, any of its affiliates or any of its respective customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of such rights, in its sole discretion.  You hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims you have, or may have, with respect to any breach or alleged breach of a fiduciary duty by the Commitment Parties with respect to the Debt Financing (and agree that the Commitment Parties shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to you in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim related to the Debt Financing or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim with respect to the Debt Financing on behalf of or in right of you, including your stockholders, employees or creditors).

The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an investment by the Borrower or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary at the date of designation in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) of the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary attributable to the Borrower’s or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s equity interest therein as reasonably estimated by the Borrower (and such designation shall only be permitted to the extent such investment is otherwise permitted). The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary may only be made if no event of default exists or would result therefrom, and shall constitute the incurrence or making, as applicable, at the time of designation of any then-existing investment, indebtedness or lien of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Loan Documents shall provide the right for individual Lenders under the Term Loan Facility to agree to extend the maturity date of the outstanding Term Loans upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other Lender pursuant to customary procedures to be agreed (any such loans that have been so extended, the “Extended Term Loans”); it being understood that each Lender under the applicable tranche or tranches that are being extended shall have the opportunity to participate in such extension on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender in such tranche or tranches; provided, that it is understood that no existing Lender will have any obligation to commit to any such extension.
   
.
The Administrative Agent and Borrower shall be permitted to effect such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the immediately preceding paragraph, including conforming amendments (which may be in the form of an amendment and restatement), without the consent of any Lender other than the Lenders agreeing to extend such Extended Term Loans.

A-4

Revolving Credit Facility

(i)       no event of default has occurred and is continuing, or would immediately occur after giving effect to, such Incremental Facilities (except in the case of Incremental Term Loans to be used to provide funding for any permitted acquisition or permitted investment or permitted restricted payment (subject to an irrevocable declaration) or any redemption or repayment of any indebtedness whose consummation is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (a “Limited Condition Transaction”), in each case, the standard will be no payment or bankruptcy event of default shall exist and be continuing at the time the applicable transaction is consummated);

A-6

 
(ii)      except in the case of a bridge loan the terms of which provide for an automatic extension of the maturity date thereof to a date that is not earlier than the latest maturity date of the initial Term Loan Facility, no Incremental Term Loans shall mature prior to the Term Loans or have a weighted average life that is shorter than the weighted average life of the Term Loans;
   
 
(iii)     except with respect to (A) an aggregate amount of Incremental Facilities not greater than the Fixed Incremental Amount, (B), any amount of Incremental Facilities used to finance an acquisition or other permitted investment and (C) any amount of any Incremental Facility that matures more than one year after the Term Loan Facility (clauses (A), (B) and (C), collectively, the “MFN Carveout”), the initial yield (to be defined to include all applicable margin, interest rate floors, upfront fees, original issue discount or similar yield-related discounts, deductions or payments, but excluding any customary arrangement or similar fees in connection therewith that are not paid to all of the lenders providing the Incremental Term Loans) of any broadly syndicated pari passu US dollar denominated Incremental Term Loans incurred prior to the date that is 6 months after the Closing Date shall be no greater than 0.75% per annum higher than the corresponding all-in yield applicable to the existing Term Loan Facility (or, if such initial yield on the Incremental Term Loans exceeds the all-in yield on the existing Term Loan Facility by more than 0.75%, then the interest rate margin for the existing Term Loan Facility shall automatically be increased to equal such initial yield on the Incremental Term Loans minus 0.75%);
   
 
(iv)     any such Incremental Term Facility may provide for the ability to participate (i) on a pro rata basis or non-pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans and (ii) on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayments of the initial Term Loans;

A-7

 
(v)      the terms of the Incremental Term Loans (other than with respect to pricing, margin, maturity and/or fees or as otherwise contemplated by any of clauses above) shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory in all respects to the Administrative Agent to the extent that such terms, except to the extent set forth above, are not substantially similar to the Term Loan Facility; provided that any terms (x) that are added in the Senior Credit Facilities for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to an amendment thereto (with no consent of the Lenders being required) or (y) that are only applicable to periods after the latest final maturity date of the Senior Credit Facilities existing at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, in each case, shall be deemed reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
 
   
 
(vi)     any Incremental Revolving Commitment will be documented solely as an increase to the commitments with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, without any change in terms except for such upfront fees as may be agreed between the Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Borrower; and
 
   
 
(vii)    any such Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to benefit from the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu or junior basis by the same Collateral (as defined below) securing the Senior Credit Facilities (subject, in the case of any Incremental Facility secured on a junior basis, to customary intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).
 
   
 
None of the existing Lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities will be required to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, and any decision whether or not to do so by any such Lender shall be made at the sole discretion of such Lender.
   
.
If the Borrower incurs indebtedness under the Fixed Incremental Amount (and any fixed debt basket) on the same date that it incurs indebtedness under the Ratio Incremental Amount (or any other ratio debt incurrence basket), then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio (or other applicable ratio), as applicable, with respect to the amounts incurred under the Ratio Incremental Amount (or other ratio debt incurrence basket) will be calculated without regard to any incurrence under the Fixed Incremental Amount (and any fixed debt basket). For the avoidance of doubt, each Incremental Facility shall be deemed incurred first under Ratio Incremental Amount with the balance incurred under any remaining Fixed Incremental Amount.

A-8

 
The Borrower may, in lieu of adding an Incremental Facility, utilize any part of the Available Incremental Facility Amount at any time by issuing or incurring Incremental Equivalent Debt (as defined below), subject to customary terms and conditions (such as customary intercreditor documentation, if applicable).
   
 
Incremental Equivalent Debt” means indebtedness in an amount not to exceed the then Available Incremental Facility Amount consisting of the issuance of senior secured (on a pari passu basis), junior lien, unsecured or subordinated notes or loans (including “mezzanine” debt and bridge loans), in each case, issued in a public offering, Rule 144A transaction or other private placement; provided that such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be subject to (a) clauses (i), (ii), and (vii) of the first paragraph in this “Incremental Credit Facilities” section, (b) if the Incremental Equivalent Debt is a notes issuance, no mandatory prepayment or redemption provisions other than customary prepayments for notes offerings required as a result of a “change of control” or asset sales or other prepayment events consistent with market practice at the time of issuance and (c) if such Incremental Equivalent Debt consists of loans, the terms thereof, to the extent not substantially similar to the terms of the Term Loans, being, taken as a whole, not materially more restrictive than the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities as determined in good faith by the Borrower (but excluding any terms (x) that are added in the Senior Credit Facilities for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to an amendment thereto (with no consent of the Lenders being required), (y) that are only applicable to periods after the latest final maturity date of the Senior Credit Facilities existing at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt or (z) reflect market terms and conditions (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) at the time of incurrence or issuance).

A-9

Limited Condition
Transactions:
For purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of the Loan Documents which requires the calculation of any financial ratio (other than (x) determining actual (versus pro forma) compliance with the Financial Covenant tested at the end of each applicable quarter or (y) in connection with a borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility), (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, or the occurrence and continuation of a default or event of default or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in the Loan Documents, in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction (such election to be set forth in a writing that is delivered to the First Lien Administrative Agent), an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date a letter of intent or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or the date on which the notice of redemption is delivered or the time of the declaration of such restricted payment or the time delivery of notice with respect to any debt repayment or redemption (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which financial statements have been delivered (or are required to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
   
 
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios or baskets will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations (but, for the avoidance of doubt, any subsequent improvement in the applicable ratio or test may be utilized).

A-10

Refinancing Facilities
The Loan Documents will permit the Borrower to refinance loans under the Term Loan Facility (or any Incremental Term Loans) or commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (or any Incremental Revolving Commitments) from time to time, in whole or part, with one or more new term facilities (each, a “Refinancing Term Facility”) or new revolving credit facilities (each, a “Refinancing Revolving Facility”; the Refinancing Term Facilities and the Refinancing Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to as “Refinancing Facilities”), respectively, incurred by the Borrower under the Loan Documents with the consent of the Borrower and the institutions providing such Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility or with one or more series of senior unsecured notes or loans incurred by the Borrower or senior secured notes or loans incurred by the Borrower that will be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis or by senior secured notes or loans incurred by the Borrower that will be secured on a junior basis with the Senior Secured Facilities, senior subordinated notes or loans, or subordinated notes or loans (any such notes or loans, “Refinancing Notes”), subject solely to the following terms and conditions: (i) any Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes shall not be in a principal amount that exceeds the principal amount of loans and commitments so refinanced, plus fees, expenses, commissions, underwriting discounts and premiums payable in connection therewith, (ii) to the extent such Refinancing Notes are secured by Collateral, customary and reasonably satisfactory intercreditor agreements are entered into, (iii) subject to clause (xi) below, any Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Notes do not mature prior to the maturity date of, or have a shorter weighted average life than, loans under the Term Loan Facility or the Incremental Term Facility, as applicable, being refinanced, (iv) any Refinancing Revolving Facility does not mature prior to the maturity date of the revolving commitments being refinanced, (v) none of the Borrower or its subsidiaries is a guarantor with respect to any Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes unless such subsidiary is a Guarantor which shall have previously or substantially concurrently guaranteed the Senior Credit Facilities that remain outstanding after such refinancing, (vi) any Refinancing Facilities or Refinancing Notes are not secured by any assets not previously securing the Senior Credit Facilities unless such assets substantially concurrently secure the Senior Credit Facilities that remain outstanding after such refinancing, (vii) the terms and conditions of such Refinancing Term Facility, Refinancing Revolving Facility or Refinancing Notes (excluding pricing and optional prepayment or redemption terms or covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest maturity date of the loans and commitments) reflect terms and conditions at the time of incurrence or issuance not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Refinancing Term Facility, Refinancing Revolving Facility or Refinancing Notes, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Borrower, than those applicable to the facility being so refinanced (except to the extent (x) such terms are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or added in the Senior Credit Facilities for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to an amendment thereto (with no consent of the Lenders being required) or (y) for terms applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the Senior Credit Facilities existing at the time of the incurrence of such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes or (z) for terms that reflect market terms and conditions (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) at the time of incurrence or issuance); (viii) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Facility, the Loan Documents shall include certain provisions to govern the pro rata payment, borrowing, participation and commitment reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility and any such Refinancing Revolving Facility, (ix) any Refinancing Term Facility may provide for the ability to participate (i) on a pro rata basis or non-pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan Facility and (ii) on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan Facility; (x) if the indebtedness being refinanced was (A) contractually subordinated to the Senior Credit Facilities in right of payment, such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes shall be contractually subordinated to the Senior Credit Facilities on the same basis, (B) contractually subordinated to the Senior Credit Facilities in right of security, such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes shall be contractually subordinated in right of security to the Senior Credit Facilities on the same basis or be unsecured or (C) unsecured, such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes shall be unsecured and (xi) if any such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes is not pari passu in right of payment to and security with the Senior Credit Facilities, it does not (1) mature prior to the date that is 91 days after the maturity date of the Senior Credit Facilities (or, if later, any later maturity date for any Senior Credit Facility then in effect) or have a weighted average life less than the weighted average life of the Senior Credit Facilities (or any later maturing Senior Credit Facility then in effect) plus 91 days and (2) have mandatory prepayment, redemption or offer to purchase events more onerous to the Borrower (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Borrower) than those set forth in the Senior Credit Facilities (and shall otherwise be subject to the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities).

A-11

Letters of Credit
A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility not in excess of $25 million shall be available for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) by each of the Arrangers (or an affiliate thereof) and other Lenders designated from time to time by the Borrower (with such Lender’s consent), with such sublimit to be divided among the Arrangers (and their affiliates) based on the amount of their respective commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility on the Closing Date (in such capacity, each, an “Issuing Lender”), which Letters of Credit shall be risk participated to all Lenders with commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility on a pro rata basis, to support obligations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries.  The amount available to be drawn under any outstanding Letters of Credit will reduce availability under the Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the earlier of (i) one year after the date of issuance, unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender and (ii) five business days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension or renewal thereof for additional periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above, except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender).  In no event shall GS Bank be required to issue any letters of credit other than standby letters of credit.  The issuance of all letters of credit shall be subject to the customary policies and procedures of the relevant Issuing Lender.
   
 
Drawings under any Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrower (whether with the Borrower’s own funds or with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans) on the immediately succeeding business day after the Borrower receives notice thereof.  To the extent that the Borrower does not so reimburse the Issuing Lender, the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender on a pro rata basis based on their respective Revolving Credit Facility commitments.
   
Swing Line Loans
A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility not in excess of $50 million shall be available on same-day notice for swing line loans (the “Swing Line Loans”) from the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Swing Line Lender”).  Except as otherwise provided herein, any such Swing Line Loans will reduce availability under the Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  Each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility shall acquire an irrevocable and unconditional pro rata participation in each Swing Line Loan.
   
Use of Proceeds
The proceeds of the Term Loans will be used directly or indirectly to finance, in part, the Transactions, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing.

A-12

 
The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans will be used (i) on the Closing Date, to finance a portion of the Transactions, subject to cap of $25 million, plus any amounts required to fund original issue discount/or upfront fees in connection with the exercise of the “Flex Provisions” under the Fee Letter plus additional amounts for ordinary course working capital needs and (ii) after the Closing Date for the working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (including permitted acquisitions, capital expenditures and permitted distributions). It is understood and agreed that Letters of Credit may be issued on the Closing to replace or provide credit support for any existing letters of credit of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and the Acquired Business (including by “grandfathering” such existing letters of credit into the Revolving Credit Facility).
   
 
The proceeds of any Incremental Facility will be used by the Borrower for general corporate purposes of Borrower and its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, permitted acquisitions, capital expenditures and permitted distributions) or otherwise as set forth in the definitive documents with respect thereto.

III.
Certain Payment Provisions
 
Fees and Interest Rates
As set forth on Annex A-I hereto.
   
Optional Prepayments and
Commitment Reductions

Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan Facility shall be applied to remaining scheduled amortization payments as directed by the Borrower.
   
Mandatory Prepayments and
Commitment Reductions
The following amounts will be applied to prepay the Term Loans (subject to basket amounts, thresholds, carveouts and exceptions, in each case, to be mutually agreed and consistent with the Documentation Principles):

A-13


1)      100% of the net cash proceeds of any incurrence of indebtedness after the Closing Date (other than indebtedness permitted under the Loan Documents (other than indebtedness incurred to refinance all or part of the Term Loan Facility)) by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
   

2)      100% (with step-downs to 50% and 0% based upon the achievement of a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (calculated at the time of the receipt of the net cash proceeds from an asset sale or disposition or at any time during the applicable reinvestment period, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such asset sale or disposition and the use of proceeds therefrom) equal to or less than 0.50x and 1.00x below the Closing Date First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (any such net cash proceeds pursuant to in this clause (2) not so applied as a mandatory prepayment, the “Retained Asset Sale Proceeds”) respectively) of the net cash proceeds in excess of $25 million for each such individual asset sale or disposition (with only the amount in excess of such limit required to be used to prepay the Term Loans) of any non-ordinary course sale or other disposition of assets by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding sales of inventory in the ordinary course and including as a result of casualty or condemnation) (subject to customary exceptions to be agreed, including the right to apply such proceeds to repay any debt secured thereby or, in the case of a sale by a non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary, any other indebtedness of the subsidiary selling or disposing of such assets, and subject to customary limitations if transferring such proceeds would be prohibited by law or debt agreements of a non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary or would cause materially adverse consequences in connection with repatriation) and subject to the right to reinvest such proceeds within 12 months of receipt (or, if the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary has entered into a binding commitment with respect to such reinvestment within such 12 month period, within 18 months of receipt) in assets used or useful in a permitted business (including pursuant to any permitted acquisition) with an ability to apply a pro rata portion of such proceeds to prepay pari passu secured indebtedness (and, in the case of a prepayment of revolving indebtedness, to permanently reduce commitments in respect thereof); and

A-14

 
3)      50% of “excess cash flow” of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles and to be net the amount of internally generated funds expended during the applicable year and, at the option of the Borrower, made after the year-end and prior to the payment date in respect of permitted restricted payments, capital expenditures, acquisitions and certain other investments (or committed during such period to be used for such purposes within the succeeding twelve month period, in each case subject to reversal of such deduction if any such committed amount is not actually expended within such twelve-month period)  and, in any event, giving credit for voluntary prepayments to the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (other than any such voluntary prepayments funded with the proceeds of long-term debt (other than revolving debt)), to the extent such prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility are accompanied by a permanent and concurrent commitment reduction thereunder, and amounts used to repay borrowings of Revolving Loans made to account for any additional original issue discount or upfront facility fees that are implemented pursuant to the flex provisions of the Fee Letter and to any other pari passu secured debt (and, at the option of the Borrower, to the extent the amount of such prepayments exceeds the amount of prepayments required to be made from excess cash flow for such year, when taken together with other payments required for such year, then such excess amounts may applied to any subsequent fiscal year) for each fiscal year of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020), with step-downs to 25% and 0% of “excess cash flow” based on achieving First Lien Leverage Ratio (as calculated at the time of the respective payment and recalculated to give pro forma effect to any such prepayment) as of the last day of the applicable year that are 0.50x and 1.00x, respectively, less than the Closing Date First Lien Leverage Ratio; provided that prepayments shall only be required under this clause if the applicable percentage of excess cash flow is greater than $15 million (in which case only the excess portion thereof, shall be so applied).
   
 
Mandatory prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied to each class of Term Loans then outstanding on a pro rata basis and to scheduled amortization thereunder as directed by the Borrower.
   
 
Any Lender under the Term Loan Facility may elect not to accept any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to paragraph (1) (except in the case of any refinancing facilities or notes), (2) or (3) above (such declined payment, the “Declined Proceeds”).  Any such Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower and will increase the Builder Basket (as defined below).

The Revolving Credit Loans will be prepaid and the Letters of Credit will be cash collateralized to the extent such extensions of credit at any time exceed the aggregate commitments in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.
   
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Documents will provide that, in the event that any permitted term indebtedness or notes that (in each case) is permitted to be (and is) secured by liens on the Collateral ranking on an equal priority basis (but without regard to the control of remedies) with the Lenders’ liens on the Collateral (as defined below) may share no more than ratably in any prepayments required by the foregoing provisions of clauses 1 through 3 (but only to the extent required by the terms of such other permitted term indebtedness or notes).
   
 
Prepayments in respect of clauses 1 through 3 above to the extent attributable to any foreign Restricted Subsidiaries will be limited under the Loan Documents in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles to the extent such prepayments (including the repatriation of cash in connection therewith) would (a) be prohibited, delayed or restricted by applicable law, rule or regulation; provided that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall take all commercially reasonable actions available under local law to permit such repatriation or to remove such prohibitions, as applicable, (b) result in material adverse tax consequences (as reasonably determined by the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent); provided that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or reduce such material adverse tax consequences to enable such repatriation to be made or (c) be prohibited under material organizational document restrictions (including as a result of minority ownership) and restrictions in other material agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments actually made shall be net of any costs, expenses or taxes incurred or payable by the Loan Parties or any of their subsidiaries, affiliates or direct or indirect equity owners, and the Loan Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries shall be permitted to make, directly or indirectly, a dividend or distribution to its affiliates or a direct payment in an amount sufficient to cover such tax liability, costs or expenses.

The term “Transformative Acquisition” shall mean any acquisition by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is either (a) not permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition or (b) if permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition, would not provide the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with adequate flexibility under the Loan Documents for the continuation and/or expansion of their combined operations following such consummation, as reasonably determined by the Borrower acting in good faith.

A-33

Equity Cure Right:
For purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant, any equity contribution (that is not “disqualified equity”) made to the Borrower after the last day of any fiscal quarter and on or prior to the day that is ten business days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered in respect of that fiscal quarter (the “Cure Date”) will, at the request of the Borrower, be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant at the end of such fiscal quarter and any subsequent period that includes such fiscal quarter (any such equity contribution, a “Cure Amount”); provided (a) the Borrower shall be permitted to request that a Cure Amount be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA with respect to any fiscal quarter (i) no more than twice during any consecutive four fiscal quarter period, and (ii) no more than five times in the aggregate during the term of the Senior Credit Facilities, (b) each Cure Amount will be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant, (c) all Cure Amounts and the use of proceeds thereof will be disregarded for all other purposes under the Loan Documents (including determining pricing or the availability or amount of any covenant basket, carve-out or compliance on a pro forma basis with the Financial Covenant or any other ratio), and (d) there shall be no pro forma or other reduction of indebtedness (including by way of cash netting) using the proceeds of any Cure Amount in determining the Financial Covenant (or any other leverage ratio) for the applicable fiscal quarter and for any subsequent period that includes such fiscal quarter (except in the case of such subsequent fiscal quarter all or any portion of such Cure Amount is actually used to permanently prepay or otherwise permanently reduce indebtedness).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, upon the receipt of a Cure Amount as provided above, any default or event of default with respect to the Financial Covenant shall be deemed to have been cured and no longer continuing.
   
  The Loan Documents will contain a standstill provision prohibiting the exercise of remedies related to any breach of the Financial Covenant during the period in which any Cure Amount may be contributed after delivery of written notice to the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s intention to cure the Financial Covenant with the proceeds of a Cure Amount, but the Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow (or draw Swing Line Loans or have Letters of Credit issued or amended) during such period absent the consent of the Revolving Lenders; provided that such standstill shall apply solely in respect of the breach (or prospective breach) of the Financial Covenant giving rise thereto, and to the extent the applicable Cure Amount has not been made prior to the applicable Cure Date, such standstill shall end when such Cure Amount may no longer be timely made in respect of such fiscal quarter.

A-34

The occurrence of an event of default shall not entitle the Lenders to terminate the commitments in respect of the Senior Credit Facilities prior to the borrowing thereof on the Closing Date. The acceleration of the Senior Credit Facilities shall be permitted at any time after they have been funded only to the extent that an Event of Default is outstanding at such time.
