Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, industry and business trends, stock compensation, business strategy, plans, market growth and our objectives for future operations.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to those factors discussed below under “Summary of Risk Factors” and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as those in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference herein and have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

Summary of Risk Factors

Our business involves significant risks and you are urged to carefully consider the risks discussed under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q prior to making an investment in us. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Our recent growth may not be indicative of our future growth and, if we continue to grow, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively.

•Our business primarily depends on business formations and fluctuations or declines in the number of business formations may adversely affect our business.

•Our business depends substantially on converting our transactional customers to subscribers and our subscribers renewing their subscriptions with us and expanding their use of our platform.

•Our future quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to a wide range of factors, which makes our future results difficult to predict.

•We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing expenses in the future, and we may not be able to maintain profitability.

•If we fail to provide high-quality services, customer care and customer experience and add new services that meet our customers’ expectations, we may not be able to attract and retain customers.

•If we do not continue to innovate and provide a platform that is useful to our customers, we may not remain competitive, and our results of operations could suffer.

•The legal solutions market is highly competitive and our failure to compete successfully could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

•Our business depends on our brand and reputation, which could be adversely affected by numerous factors.

•If our marketing efforts are unsuccessful, our ability to attract new customers or retain existing customers may be adversely affected, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

Table of Contents

•We depend on top talent, including our senior management team, to grow and operate our business, and if we are unable to hire, retain or motivate our employees, including as a result of our remote-first workforce policy, we may not be able to grow or operate effectively, which may adversely affect our business and future prospects.

•Our business and success depends in part on our strategic relationships with third-parties, including our partner ecosystem, and our business would be harmed if we fail to maintain or expand these relationships.

•We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and, if we fail to remediate these material weaknesses, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence and the price of our common stock.

•The recent restatement of certain of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may affect investor confidence and raise reputational issues and may subject us to additional risks and uncertainties, including increased professional costs and the increased possibility of legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries.

•Our business and services subject us to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding the unauthorized practice of law, legal document processing, legal plans, tax preparation and other related matters, and any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with applicable laws and regulations may subject us to regulatory inquiries, claims, suits, and prosecutions, as well as changes in our service offerings, potential liabilities, or additional costs.

Note Regarding Third-Party Information

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of the Business

LegalZoom.com, Inc. was initially formed as a California corporation in 1999 and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 2007. LegalZoom.com, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries are referred to herein as the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”.

We are a provider of services that meet the legal needs of small businesses and consumers. Our position at business inception allows us to become a trusted business advisor, supporting the evolving needs of a new business across its lifecycle. Along with business formation, our offerings include ongoing compliance and tax advice and filings, virtual mailbox solutions, trademark filings, and estate plans. Additionally, we have insights into our customers and leverage our offerings as a channel to introduce small businesses to leading brands in our partner ecosystem, solving even more of their business needs.

Note 2. Restatement

As previously disclosed on February 17 and February 27, 2023, in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, we identified tax errors within our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly and year to date periods ended March 31, 2022, or Q1 2022, June 30, 2022, or Q2 2022, and September 30, 2022, or Q3 2022, as included in our previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Specifically, within our income tax provision there was an error relating to the identification of named executive officers subject to limitation on the deductibility of executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), or Section 162(m).

As a result of this error, Q1 2022 deferred tax assets were understated and the provision for income taxes was overstated by $3.9 million, reflecting a discrete impact of $2.4 million and a $1.5 million impact resulting from the error in the annual effective tax rate. The Section 162(m) error also had the impact of a $0.2 million understatement of the benefit for income taxes and a $4.1 million overstatement of the provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and a $1.2 million overstatement of the benefit for income taxes and a $2.8 million overstatement of the provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and the associated impacts on deferred tax assets. Management concluded that such errors resulted in the previously issued Q1 2022, Q2 2022, and Q3 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the respective year-to-date periods, being materially misstated and therefore require restatement.

In connection with the tax errors noted above, we are also correcting other previously identified immaterial errors related to: i) $1.2 million of revenue and $0.2 million of associated costs of revenue that should have been recognized in Q1 2022, and which were initially corrected for as an out of period correction in Q2 2022; ii) $1.2 million of a late customer acquisition marketing, or CAM credit, that should have been recognized as a reduction to sales and marketing expense in Q2 2022, and which was initially corrected for as an out of period adjustment in Q3 2022; and iii) $0.9 million of revenue and $0.3 million of associated costs of revenue that should have been recognized in Q3 2022.

Description of Restatement of Financial Information

In the following tables, we have presented a reconciliation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial information as originally reported, to the as restated amounts as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The restatements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 will be effected in future filings of our 2023 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the significant accounting policies we follow in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is set forth below.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The December 31, 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair statement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2023 from those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes, except as noted below in the Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, however not limited to, revenue recognition, sales allowances and expected credit loss allowances, available-for-sale debt securities, other equity securities, recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, income taxes, commitments and contingencies, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates compared to historical experience and other factors including the current economic and regulatory environment, which form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. On January 1, 2022, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification No. 842, Leases, or ASC 842, with application to leases that existed as of the adoption date. On January 1, 2022, we also adopted Accounting Standard Update, or ASU, No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), or ASU 2016-13, using the modified-retrospective transition method for assets measured at amortized cost other than available-for-sale debt securities, which was adopted using a prospective transition approach. The adoption of Topic 326 did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment and Geographic Information

Our Chief Executive Officer, as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, organizes our company, manages resource allocations, and measures performance on the basis of one operating segment.

Revenue outside of the U.S., based on the location of the customer, represented less than 1% of our unaudited consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Our property and equipment and right-of-use, or ROU, assets located outside of the U.S. were immaterial as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Foreign Currency

The British Pound Sterling is the functional currency for our foreign subsidiaries. The financial statements of these foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. Dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, historical rates of exchange for equity, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenue and expenses. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit). We recognized foreign currency transaction gains of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and foreign currency transaction losses of $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We maintain accounts in U.S. and U.K. banks with funds insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, or FSCS, respectively. Our bank accounts may, at times, exceed the FDIC and FSCS insured limits. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk related to our cash or cash equivalents and have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Due to a large and diverse customer base, no individual customer represented more than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no customers with an outstanding balance of 10% or more of our total accounts receivable balance.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Our accounts receivable balances, which are not collateralized and do not bear interest, primarily consist of amounts receivable from our credit and debit card merchant processors, customer receivables, and fees due from third-parties for services purchased by our customers from such third-parties. We reduce our accounts receivable for sales allowances and a reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. We determine the amount of the allowances based on various factors, including historical collection experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when we determine that it is not probable we will collect the receivable. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the allowance for credit losses was not material.

Leases

On January 1, 2022, we recorded operating lease ROU assets of $5.7 million and operating lease liabilities of $5.9 million. The difference between the leased assets and lease liabilities represents the existing deferred rent liabilities balance at adoption of ASC 842, resulting from historical straight-line recognition of operating leases, which was reclassified upon adoption to reduce the measurement of the leased assets. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our stockholders’ equity, results of operations, or cash flows.

The standard provides several optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which eliminates the requirement to reassess whether a contract contains a lease and lease classification.

We have also made accounting policy elections, including a short-term lease exception policy, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases, which are leases with expected terms of 12 months or less, and an accounting policy to account for lease and certain non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets. Additionally, we used the portfolio approach when applying the discount rate selected based on the dollar amount and term of the obligation.

We determined whether an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception if we are able to identify an asset and can conclude we have the right to control the identified asset for a period of time. Leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent our right to control an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are

recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the discount rate used to present value lease payments. We used the incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2022 for operating leases that commenced on or prior to that date. The incremental borrowing rate used is estimated based on what we would be required to pay for a collateralized loan over a similar term. Our leases typically do not include any residual value guarantees, bargain purchase options, or asset retirement obligations.

Our lease terms are only for periods in which we have enforceable rights. A lease is no longer enforceable when both the lessee and the lessor each have the right to terminate the lease without permission from the other party with no more than an insignificant penalty. Our lease terms are impacted by options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We generally use the base, non-cancelable lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities.

Our agreements may contain variable lease payments. We include variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and exclude those which depend on facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenue from the following sources:

Transaction revenue—Transaction revenue is primarily generated from our customized legal document services upon fulfillment of these services. Transaction revenue includes filing fees and is net of cancellations, promotional discounts, sales allowances and credit reserves.

Subscription revenue—Subscription revenue is generated primarily from subscriptions to our registered agent services, compliance packages, attorney advice, legal forms services, tax services, and virtual mail services in addition to software-as-a-service, or SaaS, subscriptions in the U.K. We generally recognize revenue from our subscriptions ratably over the subscription term. Subscription terms generally range from thirty days to one year. Subscription revenue includes the transaction price allocated to bundled free trials for our subscription services and is net of promotional discounts, cancellations, sales allowances and credit reserves and payments to third-party service providers such as legal plan law firms.

For transaction and subscription revenue, we generally collect payments and fees at the time orders are placed and prior to services being rendered. We record amounts collected for services that have not been performed as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheet. The transaction price that we record is generally based on the contractual amounts and is reduced for estimated sales allowances for price concessions, charge-backs, sales credits and refunds, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize.

Partner revenue—Partner revenue consists primarily of one-time or recurring fees earned from third-party providers from leads generated to such providers through our online legal platform. Revenue is recognized when the related performance-based criteria have been met. We assess whether performance criteria have been met on a cost-per-click or cost-per-action basis.

Revenue from our transaction, subscription and partner revenue is as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
				(Restated)
Transaction		$	62,239	$	65,325
Subscription		97,311		84,364
Partner		6,386		5,738
Total revenue		$	165,936	$	155,427

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Prior to December 31, 2022, we qualified as an emerging growth company, or EGC, and were allowed by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements were made applicable to private companies. We became a large accelerated filer and no longer qualified as an EGC at the conclusion of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The adoption dates discussed below for recently adopted accounting pronouncements reflect the transition periods required as a result of becoming a large accelerated filer as of December 31, 2022. For all future new or revised accounting pronouncements, we will be required to adopt in accordance with public company timelines.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which revises the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which results in more timely recognition of losses on financial instruments, including, but not limited to, available-for-sale debt securities and accounts receivable. We adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs. We adopted ASU 2022-04 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement—Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (Topic 820), or Topic 820, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which amends certain provisions of ASC 842 related to the accounting for leasehold improvements in common-control arrangements. ASU 2023-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period as of the beginning of the related fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-02, Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method, which allows reporting entities to elect to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, regardless of the program giving rise to the related income tax credits. ASU 2023-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Other Financial Statement Information

Accounts Receivable

Changes in the allowances consisted of the following (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
				(Restated)
Beginning balance		$	4,730	$	4,060
Add: amounts recognized as a reduction of revenue		2,116		1,721
Add: allowance for credit losses recognized in general and administrative expense		64		73
Less: write-offs, net of recoveries		(2,040)		(2,221)
Ending balance		$	4,870	$	3,633

The allowance recognized as a reduction of revenue primarily relates to our installment plan receivables for which we expect we will not be entitled to a portion of the transaction price based on our historical experience with similar transactions. The allowance recognized against general and administrative expense represents an allowance relating to receivables from partners that are no longer considered collectible.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following (in thousands):


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Prepaid expenses	$	12,423	$	10,624


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Deferred cost of revenue	3,461		1,915
Capitalized cloud computing development costs	1,176		1,407

Depreciation and amortization expense of our property and equipment, including capitalized internal-use software, and intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
				(Restated)
Cost of revenue		$	2,622	$	2,070
Sales and marketing		1,257		1,875
Technology and development		858		726
General and administrative		832		723
Total depreciation and amortization expense		$	5,569	$	5,394

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $182.0 million and $165.1 million, respectively. Revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 that was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $79.5 million and $81.9 million, respectively.

We have omitted disclosure on the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations and estimated timing of revenue recognition as our contracts with customers that have a duration of more than one year are immaterial.

Note 5. Assets Held for Sale

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, following an evaluation of our office space and business requirements, we commenced a plan to sell our operational headquarters in Austin, Texas, consisting of land, a building and building improvements, and determined that these assets met the held for sale criteria. We ceased recording depreciation on these assets upon meeting the held for sale criteria. At March 31, 2023, the total carrying value of the assets held for sale was $22.7 million. The estimated fair value less costs to sell the assets held for sale exceed their carrying values and hence no impairment was necessary during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Note 6. Long-term Debt

In 2021, we entered into an amended and restated credit and guaranty agreement, or 2021 Revolving Facility, providing for revolving borrowings of up to $150.0 million with an availability period of five years. Under the 2021 Revolving Facility, we can use up to $20.0 million in letters of credit and up to $10.0 million in borrowings on same-day notice, referred to as swingline loans. Additional debt issuance costs of $0.8 million were allocated to the 2021 Revolving Facility.

As of March 31, 2023, the interest rate applicable to the 2021 Revolving Facility was, at our option, at a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime rate (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.0% or (iii) one month LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor), plus 1.00% or LIBOR (subject to a 0.00% floor) plus 2.00%. The interest rate margins under the 2021 Revolving Facility are subject to a reduction of 0.25% and a further reduction of 0.25% upon achieving total net first lien leverage ratios of 3.50 to 1.00 and 2.50 to 1.00, respectively. We are required to pay a commitment fee in respect of unutilized commitments under the 2021 Revolving Facility. The commitment fee is, initially, 0.35% per annum. The commitment fee is subject to a reduction of 0.10% if the total net first lien leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees. We have the option to voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the 2021 Revolving Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans. There is no scheduled amortization under the 2021 Revolving Facility. Any principal amount outstanding is due and payable in full at maturity, five years from the closing date of the 2021 Revolving Facility. Obligations under the 2021 Revolving Facility are guaranteed by our existing and future direct and indirect material wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

Subsequent to March 31, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the 2021 Revolving Facility to replace the LIBOR interest rate benchmark with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, benchmark, with a 0.10% credit spread adjustment to the SOFR benchmark for all available interest periods.

The 2021 Revolving Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, subject to certain exceptions, restrict our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; create or incur liens; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; merge, liquidate and make asset sales; change lines of business; change our fiscal year; incur restrictions on our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions and create liens; modify our organizational documents; make investments, loans and advances; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

The 2021 Revolving Facility requires compliance with a total net first lien leverage ratio of 4.50 to 1.00, or Financial Covenant. The Financial Covenant will be tested at quarter-end only if the total principal amount of all revolving loans, swingline loans and drawn letters of credit that have not been reimbursed exceeds 35% of the total commitments under the 2021 Revolving Facility on the last day of such fiscal quarter.

At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had no amounts outstanding under our 2021 Revolving Facility or any outstanding letters of credit and were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Advertising, Media and Other Commitments

We use a variety of media to advertise our services, including search engine marketing, television and radio. At March 31, 2023, we had non-cancelable minimum advertising and media commitments for future advertising spots of $6.8 million, substantially all of which will be paid over a two-year period. We also have non-cancelable agreements with various vendors, which require us to pay $60.1 million over a five-year period, of which $44.7 million remains to be paid as of March 31, 2023.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition, should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.

Indemnifications

Indemnification provisions in our third-party service provider agreements provide that we will indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified parties on a case-by-case basis for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified parties in connection with any claim by any third-party as a result of our website, advertising, marketing, payment processing, collection or customer service activities. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is undeterminable.

No amounts have been accrued or have been paid during any period presented as we believe the fair value of these indemnification obligations is immaterial.

Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

On March 1, 2022, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock, with no fixed expiration. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through any manner, including open market transactions, accelerated stock repurchase agreements, or privately negotiated transactions with third parties, and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of our shares of common stock under this authorization. This program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the discretion of our board of directors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, using Rule 10b5-1 plans, we repurchased a total of 770,717 shares of our common stock through open market purchases at an average per share price of $8.78 for a total repurchase of $6.8 million including broker commissions. The repurchases were recorded as a reduction to stockholders' equity. Approximately $48.1 million remains available for future repurchases under the stock repurchase program as of March 31, 2023. We have made additional open market repurchases under the stock repurchase program subsequent to March 31, 2023 of 335,082 shares of our common stock, amounting to $2.7 million, as of the date of filing.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, enacted in August 2022, imposed a 1% non-deductible excise tax on net repurchases of shares by domestic corporations whose stock is traded on an established securities market. Consequently, this excise tax is applicable to our stock repurchase program beginning in 2023 and represents a cost of the repurchases of our common stock. We have not recognized excise tax liability as of March 31, 2023 because our stock issuances exceeded stock repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Note 9. Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation Expense

We recorded stock-based compensation expense in the following categories in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
				(Restated)
Cost of revenue		$	874	$	277
Sales and marketing		1,532		3,125
Technology and development		4,320		4,298
General and administrative		9,741		14,165
Total stock-based compensation expense		16,467		21,865
Amount capitalized to internal-use software		911		481
Total stock-based compensation expense		$	17,378	$	22,346

Stock Options

In March 2023, we granted 3.9 million stock options to our executive officers. Fair value of the options was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant, and associated expense will be recognized over the requisite service period. Vesting of the options will be accelerated upon a qualifying termination that occurs during the change-in-control period, as defined in the option grant agreement, or immediately prior to the effective time of a change-in-control if the option award is not assumed, continued or substituted by the surviving or

acquiring entity (or its parent) in connection with such change-in-control. The assumptions that were used to calculate the grant-date fair value of our stock option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows:

Restricted Stock Units

During three months ended March 31, 2023, we granted 7.3 million restricted stock units, or RSUs, with a value of $61.4 million to various employees. RSUs are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant and recognized as expense over the requisite service period.

During three months ended March 31, 2023, we also granted 1.3 million RSUs with performance conditions, or performance stock units, to members of our senior leadership team. Vesting of the performance stock units, or PSUs, is contingent upon the recipient’s continuous employment over the requisite service period and is subject to fulfillment by the Company of predefined performance criteria. Such awards will be earned only if certain performance targets over the performance periods established by and under the direction of the compensation committee are met. The number of PSUs subject to vesting is determined at the end of the performance period and may equal zero percent (0%) to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the target award based upon Company’s achievement of certain revenue, profitability, and market share targets. If the performance criteria are achieved, 75% of the PSUs will vest on the date the compensation committee of the board of directors certifies achievement of the performance criteria, and the remaining 25% of the performance stock units will vest on the one year anniversary of such certification date. Performance stock units are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant and recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period using graded vesting attribution method to the extent it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. We recognized $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense during three months ended March 31, 2023 related to these awards. In the event of change-in-control (as defined in the employment agreement between the Company and each recipient of the performance award), the vesting conditions of performance stock units will be modified resulting in a vesting of a greater of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the target award, or (ii) the number of shares commensurate with the Company’s market share for the trailing 12-month period ending on the date that is the end of the nearest month prior to the date of the change of control, provided that 75% of such performance stock units will vest on June 30, 2024 and the remaining 25% of such performance stock units will vest on June 30, 2025, subject to the recipients continuing to be service providers through each such date and accelerated if the acquirer does not assume the awards in an economically equivalent manner.

On May 5, 2023, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved amendments to the terms of the option and RSU awards granted to members of our senior leadership team during the year ended December 31, 2022, whereby the vesting of such options and RSUs will be accelerated upon (i) a qualifying termination that occurs during the change-in-control period or (ii) the individual’s termination as a result of his or her death or disability (as each such term is defined in the employment agreement between the Company and applicable individual). Further, the amendments provide that such stock options, to the extent vested and outstanding on the date of the individual’s qualifying termination or the termination of the individual’s employment in the event of his or her death or disability, as applicable and after giving effect to the vesting acceleration, shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of: (x) the original expiration date of the stock options, (y) the one-year anniversary of the date of the individual’s termination of employment with the Company, and (z) immediately prior to the effective time of a change in control if such option is not assumed, continued or substituted by the surviving or acquiring entity (or its parent) in connection with such change in control. The modification to add the foregoing provisions did not result in an incremental fair value of the impacted awards because the original vesting conditions were expected to be satisfied as of the modification date and the termination of the individual’s employment in the event of change-in-control or as a result of his or her death or disability was not probable as of the date of this filing.

Note 10. Income Taxes

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and a benefit from income taxes of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 259.4% and 3.4% (as restated), respectively. The difference from the federal statutory rate of 21% is primarily due to the recognition of significant non-deductible stock-based compensation and other discrete adjustments.

Gross unrecognized tax benefits were $9.2 million and $8.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The gross unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized by us, will result in a reduction of approximately $9.2 million, excluding interest and penalties, to the provision for income taxes thereby favorably impacting our effective tax rate. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the periods presented, interest and penalties related to income tax positions were not material to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are subject to taxation and file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The federal income tax returns for the years 2018 and forward and state income tax returns for the tax years 2008 and forward remain open to examination. We are under examination in one state which is not expected to have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Note 12. Restructuring

From time to time, we initiate cost reduction activities to integrate acquired businesses, to align our workforce with strategic business activities, or to improve efficiencies in our operations. During three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred $0.6 million in severance costs related to the reduction of our U.K. headcount, which is expected to be substantially complete by December 31, 2023. Restructuring expenses include severance for the impacted employees and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 13. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist of cash equivalents, available-for-sale debt securities and contingent consideration from acquisitions. The cash equivalents consist of money market funds valued using quoted prices in active markets, which represents Level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The available-for-sale debt securities are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation, which include inputs that represent Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration is valued using the present value and probability of the estimated future cash outflow, which include inputs that represent Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these items.

The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Overview

LegalZoom is a leading online platform for legal and compliance solutions in the United States, or U.S. Our core offerings include business formations, intellectual property and estate planning services, and we have expanded our platform to include professional expertise and other products, both legal and non-legal, to better meet the needs of small businesses. Our unique position at business inception allows us to become a trusted business advisor, supporting the evolving needs of a new business throughout its lifecycle. Along with formations, our services include ongoing compliance and tax advice and filings, virtual mailbox and e-signature solutions, trademark filings, and estate plans. Additionally, we have unique insights into our customers and leverage our product as a channel to introduce small businesses to leading brands in our partner ecosystem, solving even more of their business needs. We operate across all 50 states and over 3,000 counties in the U.S. and have more than 20 years of experience navigating complex regulation and simplifying the legal and compliance process for our customers.

Our Business Model and Growth Strategy

Our business model is to acquire customers at the time of business formation and then continue to serve their legal, compliance and tax solutions needs over the life of their businesses with our mix of transaction, subscription, and partner offerings. Transaction products include legal documents, business filings, and related services for small business owners and their families, such as business formations, annual compliance filings, intellectual property, estate planning documents, forms, and agreements. Subscription products include compliance solutions and credentialed professional subscription services, including legal and tax advisory and preparation services, as well as additional owned services such as virtual mail and e-signature. We also introduce our customers to a variety of third-party partners, giving them access to critical services they need to start and run their businesses, such as business license services, credit card and banking services, website development, productivity tools, and business insurance, among others.

Our strategy is to scale our existing business and gain market share by investing in core products and sales and marketing; integrating our independent attorney network and tax professionals into our core product set; expanding our addressable market; and attracting additional customers and increasing conversion through the introduction of lower-priced products and services. We are innovating our product lineup to target more price-sensitive customer segments and certain of our business formation services are now available nationwide without charge. As we undergo this business model transformation and shift to this “freemium” strategy, including as we continue to test new products and price points to optimize our lineup, we expect increased volatility across our product offerings. We also aim to grow average revenue per subscription unit, or ARPU, and partnership revenue through building in-house adjacencies and expanding our partner ecosystem to provide new recurring revenue streams.

Key Business Metrics

In addition to the measures presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we regularly monitor the following financial and operating metrics to evaluate the growth of our business, measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, identify trends, formulate financial forecasts and make strategic decisions.

Number of business formations

We define the number of business formations in a given period as the number of limited liability company, or LLC, incorporation, not-for-profit and doing business as, or DBA, orders placed on our platform in such period, excluding such orders from our operations in the U.K. We consider the number of business formations to be an important metric considering that it is typically the first product or service small business customers purchase on our platform, creating the foundation for additional products and subsequent subscription and partner revenue as customers adopt additional products and services throughout the lifecycle of their business.

We believe that including customers filing DBAs on our platform provides a more accurate representation of the number of newly formed businesses we serve. These transactions are most often completed by sole proprietors who represent potential future transaction and subscription cross-sell opportunities as their businesses mature.

Furthermore, we believe our definition of the number of business formations is most closely aligned with U.S. Census reporting of new applications for Employer Identification Numbers, or EINs, which we believe to be the most relevant source of publicly available U.S. market data.

The below table sets forth the number of business formations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
	(in thousands)
Number of business formations	170	129

We experienced a 32% increase in business formation transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our business formation transactions increased during the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to an increase in LLC formations driven by our nationwide roll-out of free LLC formations. Our business formation transactions outpaced the 4% increase in overall U.S. business formations during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended in March 31, 2022 based on a review of U.S. Census data revealing new applications for EINs.

Number of transactions

We define the number of transactions in a given period as gross transaction order volume, prior to refunds, on our platform during such period. Transactions may include one or more services purchased at the same time. For example, a customer of our business formation services may choose to form an LLC and purchase an operating agreement and business licenses at the same time. This constitutes a single transaction. Refunds, or partial refunds, may be issued under certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of our customer satisfaction guarantee. We consider the number of transactions to be an important metric considering that our customers generally begin their LegalZoom journey with a transaction, creating the foundation for generating subsequent subscription and partner revenue.

The below table sets forth the number of transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
	(in thousands)
Number of transactions	308	267

We experienced a 15% increase in the number of transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in the number of transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted from a 32% increase in business formations due primarily to the nationwide rollout of free LLC formations discussed above. This increase was partially offset by an 11% reduction in estate planning and other consumer transactions and lower volumes in our intellectual property business largely due to the discontinuation of our do-it-yourself trademark product in favor of our attorney-assisted solution in March 2022.

Our estate planning and other consumer transactions declined as a percentage of total transactions in the three months ended March 31, 2023. We expect the proportion of estate planning and other consumer transactions to continue to decrease over time, as we focus more of our investment in small business formations, which have a significantly higher average order value. Over the long-term, we expect to continue to grow transactions; however, the growth may fluctuate period-over-period based on the testing and introduction of new products and price points as we seek to optimize our product lineup and the variability of overall business formations and estate planning transactions.

Average order value

We define average order value for a given period as total transaction revenue divided by total number of transactions in such period. We consider average order value to be an important metric given it indicates how much customers are spending on our platform per transaction.

The below table sets forth the average order value for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
			(Restated)
Average order value	$	202	$	245

Average order value decreased by 18% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The reduction in average order value for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by a 26% decrease in average order value related to our business formations, as well as decreases in the average order value of our IP and other transactions. The decrease in average order value related to our business formations was due to the nationwide rollout of free LLC formations during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Growth in our average order value may fluctuate period-over-period based on the mix of business formations relative to estate planning and other consumer transactions, the timing of transaction revenue recognition, and our ability to introduce and sell new products. We expect year-over-year growth in average order value to be negative throughout the remainder of 2023 given the nationwide rollout of free LLC formations and as we continue to test and introduce new products and price points in order to optimize our product lineup.

Number of subscription units

We define the number of subscription units in a given period as the paid subscriptions at the end of such period, including those that are not yet 60 days past their subscription order dates. Refunds, or partial refunds, may be issued under certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of our customer satisfaction guarantee.

We consider the number of subscription units to be an important metric since subscriptions enable us to increase the lifetime value of a customer through deeper, longer-term relationships. In addition, as we innovate our product line-up and make a free business formation a foundational element of our business model, we believe the number of subscription units, when viewed together with the number of business formations during a particular period, provides insight into the effectiveness of our “freemium” strategy and its ability to drive growth in our subscription business.

Subscriptions typically range from 30 days to one year in duration and the vast majority of our new subscriptions originate from business formation orders and have an annual term. Our customers can have multiple subscriptions at the end of a period. For example, a popular combination for a new small business owner is attorney advice and registered agent subscriptions.

The below table sets forth the number of subscription units as of March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	As of March 31,
	2023	2022
	(in thousands)
Number of subscription units	1,501	1,362

We achieved 10% growth in subscription units from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, primarily driven by a 14% increase in our registered agent and compliance subscription units and to a lesser extent an increase in our LZ Tax and virtual mail subscriptions, partially offset by an 18% decrease in our consumer and other subscription units. The number of subscription units as of March 31, 2023 increased 4% from 1,441 thousand subscription units as of December 31, 2022. We aim to continue to grow subscription units by increasing the proportion of our small business customers that purchase a subscription service at the time of their initial formation purchase and by improving retention rates.

Average revenue per subscription unit

We define average revenue per subscription unit, or ARPU, as of a given date as subscription revenue for the twelve-month period ended on such date, or LTM, divided by the average of the number of subscription units at the beginning and end of the LTM period. We consider ARPU to be an important metric because it helps to illustrate our ability to provide and monetize higher value subscriptions. In addition, when viewed together with subscription units, ARPU provides insight into the impact that higher-value subscriptions have on our ability to grow our subscription units. We have expanded ARPU in recent periods, and ARPU increased 6% as of March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022.

The below table sets forth ARPU as of March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	As of March 31,
	2023		2022
Average revenue per subscription unit	$	259	$	244

ARPU as of March 31, 2023 was flat sequentially compared to December 31, 2022 and up modestly year-over-year with the increase driven primarily by LZ Tax and, to a lesser extent, an increase in ARPU related to our consumer and other subscription units, partially offset by a decrease in ARPU related to our registered agent and compliance subscription units. We expect ARPU to increase over time as subscription units from our new product offerings, which carry higher average price points than our other subscription products, comprise a greater share of total subscription units.

Annual small business retention rate

We define annual small business retention rate as the percentage of small business subscription units active as of the last day of the quarter one year ago that were still active subscriptions 12 months later. Small business subscription units represent our subscriptions targeted at our small business customers and include subscriptions for our registered agent and compliance services, LZ Tax, our small business legal advisory plan and subscriptions acquired through our purchase of Earth Class Mail and Revvsales Inc., and exclude subscriptions from our enterprise customers, our operations in the U.K. and our consumer legal advisory plan. Annual small business retention rate includes both monthly and annual subscription units and reflects all subscription unit attrition, including as a result of actual business failures of certain of our customers. Our annual small business retention rate as of March 31, 2023 was 62.8%.

We expect annual retention rate to fluctuate as we continue to test new products, subscription term lengths and price points and seek to optimize our product offerings across our lineup in connection with our “freemium” strategy. While there may be a general correlation between annual small business retention rate and our ability to increase customer lifetime value and the growth of our customer base, we do not view it as a predictor of future revenue given the varying needs of a small business during the evolution of its lifecycle and the varying use cases of the products underlying our subscription units.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our future performance will depend on many factors, including the following:

•Our share of business formations. The majority of our transaction revenue is generated by providing formation services to guide our customers through the transition from being aspiring business owners to actually launching their entities. We offer entity formation services for LLCs, corporations and non-profits as well as DBA filings. In the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, business formations represented the largest share of our total transaction orders. In addition, business formations act as an entrance point for many customers to the LegalZoom ecosystem, where they then often purchase additional products and services. Our business depends on the continuation of new business formations in the U.S., which may be seasonal in nature and dependent on macroeconomic factors, and even more so, on our ability to increase our share of these formations. Further, as we continue to invest in fulfillment automation technologies and become more efficient in fulfilling business formation orders, the timing of our revenue recognition in future periods may vary from historical seasonality and other trends.

•Product leadership. We have invested significantly and expect to continue to invest in our user experience, which we believe is critical to attracting and converting customers and improving retention. These investments consist mainly of creating educational content, improving our website and application user interface, and creating and offering additional products and services, including the growing use of experts in the customer journey. The performance of our product is important to attracting new customers to our platform, maintaining a healthy subscriber base and retaining our customers.

•Ability to enhance customer lifetime value. Many of our subscribers have increased their cumulative spend with us over time as they have expanded their use of our platform to include additional products and subscription services. Our relationship with our small business customers typically starts with the formation of their business and deepens as their businesses grow and their needs become more complex. By continuing to develop new products and subscription services to address such needs, such as tax advice and preparation, virtual mail and e-signature, we expect to see higher customer engagement and retention, which in turn would further increase our customer lifetime value. Additionally, we offer third-party services via our partner ecosystem, such as our partnership with Wix, which enables our small business customers to build their online presence, and we expect to be able to generate incremental revenue via these partner offerings.

•Investment in marketing. We have invested, and expect that we will continue to invest, in the promotion of our services through our various customer acquisition channels, including performance marketing, search engine optimization, television, digital video, social, radio, and our inside sales team to acquire new customers. We frequently evaluate how we price, market, and sell transaction products in order to optimize our subscription business.

•Investment in tax offerings. Tax represents a natural adjacency in our mission to make legal and compliance services accessible to small businesses. Based on customer surveys, we estimate that approximately 70% of small business owners that sought a tax accountant did not have one at the time of their entity formation but face tax implications as a result of the entity they choose. To address this customer need, we have invested in our Tax Advisory offering. We anticipate incurring additional costs related to our tax offerings as we continue to invest in these offerings. We believe that our tax offerings represent an attractive opportunity for incremental revenue growth.

•Talent acquisition and retention. We are focused on providing a quality employee experience as we believe the future success of our business is heavily dependent on our ability to attract and retain talented and highly productive employees, including software engineers, product designers, brand and performance marketers, and customer-facing positions. We compete for talent within the technology industry and believe that our strong brand recognition and greater company purpose are important, positive considerations in our ability to recruit talent. We also are scaling an in-house team of certified public accountants, or CPAs, and enrolled agents that are critical to our tax offerings.

•Macroeconomic factors. Fluctuations in general macroeconomic, political, regulatory and market conditions, such as recessionary fears, the current inflationary environment, rising interest rates and lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic can adversely impact consumer spending patterns, the success of existing small businesses and the formation of new small businesses. While overall U.S. business formations increased in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 based on a review of U.S. Census data, we believe that future negative or decelerating impacts from sustained inflation, higher interest rates or other macroeconomic fluctuations remains uncertain.

Key Components of our Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate revenue from the sources identified below.

Transaction revenue. Transaction revenue is primarily generated from our customized legal document services upon fulfillment of these services. Transaction revenue includes filing fees and is net of cancellations, promotional discounts, sales allowances and credit reserves.

Subscription revenue. Subscription revenue is generated primarily from subscriptions to our registered agent services, compliance packages, attorney advice, legal forms services, tax services, and virtual mail services in addition to software-as-a-service, or SaaS, subscriptions in the U.K. We generally recognize revenue from our subscriptions ratably over the subscription term. Subscription terms generally range from thirty days to one year. Subscription revenue includes the transaction price allocated to bundled free trials for our subscription services and is net of promotional discounts, cancellations, sales allowances and credit reserves and payments to third-party service providers such as legal plan law firms.

Partner revenue. Partner revenue consists primarily of one-time or recurring fees earned from third-party providers from leads generated to such providers through our online legal platform. Revenue is recognized when the related performance-based criteria have been met. We assess whether performance criteria have been met on a cost-per-click or cost-per-action basis. In the near term, we expect a decrease in partner revenue as we transition away from legacy partners that do not align with our new strategic direction and focus more on long-term opportunities to have strategic partnerships that build on recurring revenue models.

See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates—Revenue Recognition” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the accounting policies related to revenue recognition, including arrangements that contain multiple deliverables.

Cost of revenue includes all costs of providing and fulfilling our services. Cost of revenue primarily includes government filing fees; costs of fulfillment, customer care and credentialed professionals, and related benefits,

including stock-based compensation; costs of independent contractors for document preparation; telecommunications and data center costs; amortization of acquired developed technology; depreciation and amortization of network computers, equipment and internal-use software; printing, shipping and handling charges; credit and debit card fees; allocated overhead; legal document kit expenses; and sales and use taxes. We defer direct and incremental costs primarily related to government filing fees incurred prior to the associated service meeting the criteria for revenue recognition. These contract assets are recognized as cost of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

We expect our cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in enhancing our customer experience and in new product development, including expert-assisted offerings for our tax and attorney-assisted legal offerings.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit, or revenue less cost of revenue, and gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, have been and will continue to be affected by various factors, primarily the mix between transaction, subscription and partner revenue. Our gross margin on subscription and partner revenue is higher than our gross margin on transaction revenue. Our long-term gross margin expansion is also expected to be driven by automation improvements and digitization efforts. Further, our acquisitions of other companies have negatively impacted our gross margin in the short term, and any such future acquisitions could have a similar effect.

In the short term, we expect our gross profit to increase in absolute dollars but our gross margin to be impacted as a result of higher filing fees as a percentage of revenue due to the roll-out of our new product line-up, as well as by our continued investment in scaling our tax business, which has lower gross margins than other products in our portfolio. However, we expect our gross margin to increase modestly over the longer term as we continue to focus on growing higher-margin subscription revenue and invest in fulfillment automation technologies. In addition, our gross margin could fluctuate from period to period due to fulfillment rates and seasonality.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses consist primarily of sales and marketing, technology and development, general and administrative expenses, and to a lesser extent, impairments of goodwill, long-lived assets and other assets.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist of customer acquisition media costs; compensation and related benefits, including stock-based compensation for marketing and sales personnel; media production; public relations and other promotional activities; general business development activities; an allocation of depreciation and amortization and allocated overhead. Customer acquisition media costs consist primarily of search engine marketing, television and radio costs. Marketing and advertising costs to promote our services are expensed in the period incurred. Media production costs are expensed the first time the advertisement is aired.

We intend to continue to invest in sales and marketing to drive additional revenue, further penetrate our expanding addressable market, and build on our digital brand leadership and awareness. While we anticipate that sales and marketing expenses will continue to be our largest operating expense category for the foreseeable future, we continue to reduce certain brand media spend amid macroeconomic uncertainty. However, we expect the year-over-year declines in this spend to moderate going forward.

Technology and development

Technology and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and related benefits, including stock-based compensation, expenses for outside consultants, an allocation of depreciation and amortization and allocated overhead. These expenses include costs incurred in the development and implementation of our products, websites, mobile applications, online legal platform, research and development and related infrastructure. Technology and development expenses are expensed as incurred, except to the extent that such costs are associated with internal-use software costs that qualify for capitalization.

Excluding stock-based compensation, we expect our technology and development expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we invest in new products and services and in production automation technologies to enhance our customer experience. We expect our technology and development expenses to remain relatively consistent or increase as a percentage of our revenue over the long-term, although our technology and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period-to-period due to seasonality and the timing and extent of these expenses.

General and administrative

Our general and administrative expenses relate primarily to compensation and related benefits, including stock-based compensation, for executive and corporate personnel, professional and consulting fees, an allocation of

depreciation and amortization, allocated overhead and legal costs. We expense legal costs for defending legal proceedings as incurred.

Excluding stock-based compensation, we expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future due to additional costs associated with accounting, compliance, insurance and investor relations as we have recently become a public company. Over the next year, we will continue to incur stock-based compensation expense as a result of certain modifications to equity awards that occurred in connection with our IPO; however, we expect our general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over the longer term. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period-to-period due to seasonality and the timing and extent of these expenses.

Interest income (expense), net

Interest income (expense), net, consists primarily of interest income generated from our investment in money market funds offset by amortization of debt issuance costs related to our Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, or 2021 Revolving Facility.

We expect interest income (expense), net, to remain insignificant in the near term as we have no outstanding indebtedness. However, we would incur interest expense in the longer term should we draw down on our 2021 Revolving Facility or incur other indebtedness.

Income taxes

Our provision for income taxes consists of current and deferred federal, state and foreign income taxes.

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to be applied to the interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter based on recurring and nonrecurring factors including, but not limited to: variations in the estimated and actual level of pre-tax income or loss by jurisdiction; changes in enacted tax laws and regulations, and interpretations thereof, including with respect to tax credits and state and local income taxes; developments in tax audits and other matters; recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies from stock-based compensation and certain nondeductible expenses. Changes in judgment from the evaluation of new information resulting in the recognition, derecognition, or remeasurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period are recognized separately in the quarter of the change.

Revenue by type
Transaction		$	62,239	$	65,325	$	(3,086)	(5)	%

Partner		6,386		5,738		648		11	%
Total revenue		$	165,936	$	155,427	$	10,509	7	%

The increase in total revenue was primarily driven by an increase in subscription revenue. Subscription revenue was 59% and 54% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and transaction revenue was 38% and 42% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Transaction revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased due to an 18% decrease in average order value compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by a 15% increase in the number of transaction units compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in average order value for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was driven primarily by a 26% decrease in average order value related to our business formations, as well as decreases in the average order value of our IP and other transactions. The decrease in

average order value related to our business formations was driven primarily by the nationwide rollout of free LLC formations during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The overall increase in transaction units during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to a 32% increase in business formations due primarily to the nationwide rollout of free LLC formations. This increase was partially offset by an 11% reduction in estate planning and other consumer transactions and lower volumes in our intellectual property business largely due to the discontinuation of our do-it-yourself trademark product in favor of our attorney-assisted solution in March 2022. In addition, we were more efficient in our fulfillment in the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulting in additional recognized revenue during the period.

Subscription revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased primarily due to a 10% increase in the number of subscription units and a 6% improvement in ARPU compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in subscription units was driven primarily by a 14% increase in our registered agent and compliance subscription units and to a lesser extent an increase in our LZ Tax and virtual mail subscriptions, partially offset by an 18% decrease in our consumer and other subscription units compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. ARPU was flat sequentially compared to December 31, 2022 and up modestly year-over-year with the increase driven primarily by LZ Tax and, to a lesser extent, an increase in ARPU related to our consumer and other subscription units, partially offset by a decrease in ARPU related to our registered agent and compliance subscription units.

Partner revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased as a result of higher business formation volumes during the period.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased primarily due to a $13.0 million reduction in customer acquisition marketing spend and a $3.3 million reduction in payroll and related benefits. Customer acquisition marketing spend was $40.7 million and $53.7 million for the three months ended

March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as we reduced our marketing spend in response to the uncertain macroeconomic environment.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted from a $4.8 million unfavorable change in our income taxes as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change was primarily due to pre-tax book income and non-deductible stock compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a pre-tax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Since inception, we have funded our operations and capital expenditures primarily from public and private sales of equity securities, cash flows provided by operating activities and equity and debt financing arrangements, including the proceeds of our IPO in July 2021. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $204.1 million, which consisted of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds, of which approximately $1.4 million related to our foreign subsidiaries. Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $15.0 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, primarily as a result of cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment and stock repurchases during the period.

We currently anticipate that our available cash, cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet our operational cash needs for at least the next twelve months and in the foreseeable future. We have the ability to supplement our liquidity needs over the longer term with borrowings under our 2021 Revolving Facility. In addition, we previously announced our intention to sell our operating headquarters in Austin, Texas, which is discussed in more detail in Note 5 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We have historically considered the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly no taxes have been provided on such earnings. We continue to evaluate our plans for reinvestment or repatriation of unremitting foreign earnings and have not changed our previous indefinite reinvestment determination following the enactment of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or Tax Act. We have not repatriated funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs, nor do we anticipate the need to do so. If we determine that all or a portion of our foreign earnings are no longer indefinitely reinvested, we may be subject to foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state income taxes.

Furthermore, our board of directors has authorized our management to repurchase up to $150.0 million of shares of our common stock from time to time. As of the date of this filing, we have repurchased $104.6 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. For additional information regarding our stock repurchase program, refer to Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Borrowings

2021 Revolving Facility

On July 2, 2021, we entered into our 2021 Revolving Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent. This agreement amends and restates our first lien credit and guarantee agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, or 2018 Credit Facility, and permits revolving borrowings of up to $150.0 million. The 2021 Revolving Facility provides for the issuance of up to $20.0 million of letters of credit as well as borrowings on same-day notice, referred to as swingline loans, in an amount of up to $10.0 million. We have $150.0 million available for use under our 2021 Revolving Facility.

Subject to the satisfaction of certain criteria, we will be able to increase the facility by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the greater of $90.0 million and 75% of consolidated last twelve months cash earnings before interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortization, or Cash EBITDA, which is defined in the 2018 Credit Facility, or LTM Cash EBITDA, plus (ii) unused amounts under the general debt basket (i.e., an amount equal to the greater of $50.0 million and an equivalent percentage of consolidated LTM Cash EBITDA), plus (iii) an unlimited amount so long as the borrower is in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenant (as defined below), in each case, with the consent of the lenders participating in the increase.

We are required to pay a commitment fee in respect of unutilized commitments under the 2021 Revolving Facility. The commitment fee is, initially, 0.35% per annum. The commitment fee is subject to a reduction of 0.10% if the total net first lien leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees. As of March 31, 2023, the interest rate applicable to the 2021 Revolving Facility was, at our option, at a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime rate; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.0% and (iii) one month LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor), plus 1.00% or LIBOR (subject to a 0.00% floor) plus 2.00%. The interest rate margins under the 2021 Revolving Facility are subject to a reduction of 0.25% and a further reduction of 0.25% if the total net first lien leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 and 2.50 to 1.00, respectively.

We have the option to voluntarily repay outstanding loans at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans. There is no scheduled amortization under the 2021 Revolving Facility. The principal amount outstanding is due and payable in full at maturity, five years from the closing date of the 2021 Revolving Facility.

Obligations under the 2021 Revolving Facility are guaranteed by our existing and future direct and indirect material wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The 2021 Revolving Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrower and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The 2021 Revolving Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; create or incur liens; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; merge, liquidate and make asset sales; change lines of business; change our fiscal year; incur restrictions on our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions and create liens; modify our organizational documents; make investments, loans and advances; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

On May 5, 2023, we entered into an amendment to our 2021 Revolving Facility to replace the LIBOR interest rate benchmark with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, benchmark, with a 0.10% credit spread adjustment to the SOFR benchmark for all available interest periods. See Part II, Item 5 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Cash flows

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
			(Restated)
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	29,208	$	13,737
Net cash used in investing activities	(7,428)		(4,607)
Net cash used in financing activities	(6,755)		(872)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	19		(51)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	15,044	$	8,207

Net cash provided by operating activities

Our largest source of operating cash is cash collections from our customers for our transaction and subscription services. Our primary uses of cash in operating activities are for our fulfillment, production and customer care costs, employee salaries and benefits, sales and marketing expenses and third-party consulting expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities is impacted by our net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation and impairments of long-lived assets, as well as the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities.

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash provided by operating activities was $29.2 million resulting from a net loss of $2.4 million, adjusted for stock-based compensation and other non-cash expenses of $24.3 million and net cash flows provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $7.2 million. The $7.2 million of net cash

flows provided from changes in our operating assets and liabilities included a $16.9 million increase in deferred revenue largely due to growth of our subscription units, which are predominantly billed in advance of our revenue recognition, partially offset by a $5.5 million reduction in accrued expenses and operating lease liability and other liabilities due to the timing of our payments and a $5.5 million increase in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Net cash used in investing activities

Our primary investing activities have consisted of capital expenditures to purchase property and equipment necessary to support our customer contact center, network and operations, the capitalization of internal-use software necessary to develop and maintain our platform and deliver new products and features, which provide value to our customers, business acquisitions and investments in other companies. As our business grows, we expect our capital expenditures to continue to increase.

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $7.4 million resulting primarily from purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities

Our primary uses of cash in financing activities are for repurchases of common stock and settlements of stock options and RSUs. Net cash provided by financing activities is primarily impacted by exercises of stock options by our employees and issuance of common stock.

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $6.8 million primarily for the repurchase of common stock under our stock repurchase program.

Material Cash Requirements

We believe our current cash and cash equivalents, as well as cash expected to be generated by future operating activities, will be sufficient to meet our material cash requirements for the next twelve months. Our material cash requirements include the below contractual and other obligations:

Advertising, Media and Other Commitments

Lease Obligations

At March 31, 2023, we had various non-cancelable operating leases for office space and equipment, which expire between January 2024 and December 2032. As of March 31, 2023, we had total minimum operating lease maturities of $12.1 million, $2.1 million of which mature within nine months. See Note 9 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our future operating lease payments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and liquidity and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance and liquidity, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to important measures used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance using a management view and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude interest income (expense), net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other expense (income), net, non-cash stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment, impairment of goodwill, long-lived and other assets, losses from impairment of

available-for-sale debt securities, restructuring expenses, legal expenses, acquisition related expenses, transaction-related expenses and certain other non-recurring expenses. Our Adjusted EBITDA financial measure differs from GAAP in that it excludes certain items of income and expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. We define net loss margin as net loss as a percentage of revenue based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary performance measures used by our management and our board of directors to understand and evaluate our financial performance and operating trends, including period-to-period comparisons, prepare and approve our annual budget, develop short and long-term operational plans and determine appropriate compensation plans for our employees. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. In assessing our performance, we exclude certain expenses that we believe are not comparable period over period. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net loss, which is the nearest GAAP equivalent of Adjusted EBITDA, and it may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Some of these limitations include that the non-GAAP financial measure:

•does not reflect interest income (expense), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, which reduces cash available to us;

•does not reflect provision for income taxes that may result in payments that reduce cash available to us;

•excludes depreciation and amortization and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may be replaced in the future;

•does not reflect foreign currency exchange or other gains or losses, which are included in other (expense) income, net;

•excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;

•excludes losses from impairments of goodwill, long-lived and other assets and available-for-sale debt securities;

•excludes legal expenses, which reduce cash available to us;

•excludes restructuring expenses, which reduce cash available to us;

•excludes transaction-related expenses that are not considered representative of our underlying performance, which reduce cash available to us; and

•does not reflect certain other non-recurring expenses that are not considered representative of our underlying performance, which reduce cash available to us.

Adjusted EBITDA margin	13	%	1	%

(1) For 2023, restructuring expenses related to the reduction of our U.K. headcount, which is expected to be substantially complete by December 31, 2023. Restructuring expenses include salary and benefits for the impacted employees and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA increased from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $19.6 million resulted primarily from an increase in revenue of $10.5 million and a reduction in operating expenses of $18.0 million, partially offset by an increase in cost of revenue of $4.2 million. We expect our Adjusted EBITDA to increase in absolute dollars in the longer term, although the rate at which our Adjusted EBITDA may grow could vary based upon the interplay of the foregoing factors.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow is a liquidity measure used by management in evaluating the cash generated by our operations after purchases of property and equipment including capitalized internal-use software. We consider free cash flow to be an important measure because it provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by our business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business and strengthening our balance sheet. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. The usefulness of free cash flow as an analytical tool has limitations because it excludes certain items that are settled in cash, does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses, does not reflect our future contractual commitments, and may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net cash used in or provided by operating activities.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to free cash flow:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
			(Restated)
	(in thousands)
Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	29,208	$	13,737
Purchase of property and equipment	(7,428)		(4,911)
Free cash flow	$	21,780	$	8,826

We experienced an increase in our free cash flow from $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a $15.5 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from a $19.6 million increase in net income after adjusting for stock-based compensation and other non-cash items, partially offset by a $4.1 million unfavorable change in our operating assets and liabilities primarily due to the timing of our accounts payable payments. Free cash flow was also impacted by higher capital expenditures for the purchase of property and equipment, including capitalization of internal-use software. We expect our free cash flow to increase in absolute dollars over the longer term, although the rate at which our free cash flow may grow could vary based upon the interplay of the factors discussed above.

Critical Accounting Estimates

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates compared with those disclosed described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on certain accounting standards adopted in the period ended March 31, 2023 and recent accounting announcements that have not yet been required to be implemented and may be applicable to our future operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have operations both within the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, in the U.K., and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include primarily interest rate fluctuations and foreign currency exchange risks, and to a lesser extent, inflation risk.

Interest rate fluctuation risk

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $204.1 million and $189.1 million, respectively, which consisted of cash on deposit with banks and a short-term highly-liquid money market fund. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. To date, fluctuations in interest income have not been significant.

We had no outstanding debt subject to interest rate risk as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and, as a result, we do not expect to be exposed to fluctuations in interest rates for the foreseeable future. However, we would be subject to fluctuation in interest rates if we draw down under our 2021 Revolving Facility, including issuance of any letters of credit.

Foreign currency exchange risk

We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and expenses denominated in currencies other than our functional currency, the U.S. Dollar, principally GBP. The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our net (loss) income as a result of transaction gains and losses related to translating certain cash balances, trade accounts receivable and payable balances and intercompany loans that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. We recognized foreign currency gains of $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. A 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on foreign-denominated accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2023, including intercompany balances, would have resulted in a $0.2 million decrease in our reported foreign currency gain for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In the event our non-U.S. Dollar-denominated sales and expenses increase, our results of operations may be more greatly affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which we do business. At this time, we do not, but we may in the future, enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk. It is difficult to predict the impact hedging activities could have on our results of operations.

Inflation risk

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or future prospects. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. Further, if current inflationary pressures are sustained for a prolonged period of time, the success of existing small businesses and the formation of new small businesses could continue to be adversely impacted, which could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition or future prospects.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Material weaknesses

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and these material weaknesses continued to exist as of March 31, 2023. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses we identified are as follows:

• We did not maintain an effective control environment. Specifically, we did not maintain sufficient accounting resources commensurate with our structure and financial reporting requirements. This material weakness contributed to the additional material weaknesses described below:

• We did not design and maintain effective controls to address the initial application of complex accounting standards and accounting of non-routine, unusual or complex events and transactions.

• We did not design and maintain effective controls over our financial statement close process. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the income tax provision and certain account analyses and account reconciliations.

The material weakness related to the income tax provision resulted in the restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters and year-to-date periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022. The material weaknesses related to the control environment, the initial application of complex accounting standards and accounting of non-routine, unusual or complex events and transactions and certain account reconciliations and account analyses resulted in adjustments to our 2018 financial statements primarily related to debt extinguishment costs, goodwill, revenue, accounts receivable, foreign exchange expense and deferred revenue. Additionally, these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of any account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation plan

Management is committed to taking the necessary steps to remediate the above identified material weaknesses. We are implementing a plan to remediate the material weaknesses as follows:

•We have hired and are planning to continue to hire additional experienced accounting, financial reporting and internal control personnel and refined our key control roles and responsibilities;

•We provided and are planning to provide additional internal control training programs to all accounting personnel;

•We continue to design and implement controls to address the identification, accounting for, and review of non-routine, unusual or complex and initial applications of complex accounting standards, including the continued engagement of external consultants to provide support and to assist us in our evaluation of such transactions; and

•We continue to design and implement the relevant controls to enable effective and timely review of the income tax provision and certain account analyses and account reconciliations, including the identification of relevant supporting documentation, assessment of the reliability of reports and spreadsheets used, and retention of sufficient detailed evidence of review procedures performed.

We have made progress to remediate the material weaknesses, and we believe our remediation plan to be sufficient to remediate the identified material weaknesses. However, the implementation of these remediation measures requires validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over a sustained period of financial reporting prior to reaching a determination that the material weaknesses have been remediated. As we continue to validate and test our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine that additional measures or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary or appropriate. If the steps we take do not remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, there could continue to be a reasonable possibility that these control deficiencies or others could result in a material misstatement of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This, in turn, could jeopardize our ability to comply with our reporting obligations, limit our ability to access the capital markets or adversely impact our stock price.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than those changes intended to remediate the material weaknesses described above.

Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Part II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business involves significant risks, and the material factors that make an investment in us risky or speculative are described below. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. The realization of any of these risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, growth and future prospects, as well as our ability to accomplish our strategic objectives. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

Our recent growth may not be indicative of our future growth and, if we continue to grow, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively

We have experienced growth in operations and headcount, which has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management team and our administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. We have also significantly increased the size of our customer base over the last several years. Our success will depend in part on our ability to manage this growth effectively. To manage the growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. As we grow, we must also effectively integrate, develop and motivate our employees, and maintain the beneficial aspects of our corporate culture. Failure to effectively manage our growth could result in difficulty or delays in providing services to customers, declines in service quality or customer satisfaction, increases in costs, difficulties in introducing new features or other operational difficulties. Any of these difficulties could adversely impact our brand and reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition or future prospects.

Our growth also makes it difficult to evaluate future prospects. Our ability to forecast our future operating results is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. If the assumptions regarding these uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our markets, our results of operations and financial condition could differ materially from our expectations, our business could suffer and the trading price of our stock may decline.

Our business primarily depends on business formations

Our success significantly depends on business formations. The majority of our transaction revenue is generated by providing formation services to guide our customers through the transition from being aspiring business owners to launching their entities. In 2022 and the first three months of 2023, business formations represented the largest share of our total transaction orders. The number of business formations on our platform is subject to unpredictable declines or fluctuations as a result of a number of factors, many of which are out of our control, including an overall decline in the number of U.S. business formations, an economic slowing or downturn, increased competition, compliance or operating costs (including wage and benefit pressures), regulatory obstacles, changes in law (including changes in tax laws and regulations), changes in the business environment from inflation, interest rates, government assistance or other factors, and dissatisfaction with our services. Declines in the overall number of business formations or the number of business formations on our platform have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, results of operations, financial condition or future prospects. To the extent the growth rate of new business formations declines, these impacts can be expected to intensify.

Our business depends substantially on converting our transactional customer to subscribers and our subscribers renewing their subscriptions with us and expanding their use of our platform

For the past few years, a significant amount of our revenue has been derived from our subscriptions for small businesses and individuals. In 2022 and 2023, approximately 58% and 59%, respectively, of our revenue came from subscriptions. Subscriptions have primarily originated from transactional customers who opted to become subscribers. For us to maintain or improve our operating results, it is important that we convert transactional customers into subscribers, we retain our existing subscribers and that our subscribers renew their subscriptions with us when the existing subscription term expires. However, subscriptions may be terminated at any time, and the willingness of transactional customers to subscribe is impacted by numerous factors, including cost, the helpfulness of

our services over time, and our ability to continue to evolve with the growing business needs of our subscribers. As a result, we cannot accurately predict subscription renewal rates, whether a sufficient number of our existing or new customers will subscribe to our registered agent services, legal plans or other subscription services, or whether they will continue to subscribe at the same rate as they have historically. The rate at which we retain our subscribers may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including subscribers’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our platform, the effectiveness of our customer support services, the quality and perceived quality of the services provided by our tax professionals and the independent attorneys who participate in our legal plan network, the attorneys who fulfill our attorney assisted legal offering, our pricing, the prices of competing products or services, the effects of global economic conditions, regulatory changes and reductions in subscribers’ discretionary income and spending levels. If we are unable to continue to convert our transactional customers to subscribers, retain our existing subscribers or our existing subscribers do not expand the use of our platform, our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects would be adversely affected. If our subscription renewal rates fall below the expectations of the public market, securities analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could also be harmed.

Our future quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to a wide range of factors, which makes our future results difficult to predict

Our revenue and results of operations have historically varied from period to period, and we expect that they will continue to do so as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including, but not limited to the risks and uncertainties discussed herein and the following:

•the number of business formations and the rate of failure of small businesses;

•the level of demand for our services;

•the rate of renewal of subscriptions by, and extent of sales of additional subscriptions to, existing customers;

•the size, timing and terms of our subscription agreements with existing and new customers;

•changes to our product offerings, including pricing changes such as the offering of free or even lower cost products;

•the mix of subscriptions and services sold during a period;

•changes in stock-based compensation expense;

•the introduction of new products and product enhancements by existing competitors or new entrants into our markets, and changes in pricing for solutions offered by us or our competitors;

•customers delaying purchasing decisions in anticipation of new developments or enhancements by us or our competitors or otherwise;

•seasonal variations, including those related to orders placed, sales and marketing and other activities or other seasonal fluctuations in our results of operations that are out of our control;

•our ability to attract new customers or retain existing customers;

•our ability to increase, retain and incentivize the strategic partners that market and sell our platform;

•our ability to control costs, including our operating expenses;

•changes in governmental or other regulations affecting our business;

•changes to government agency practices, staffing and their websites, which may cause delay or disruptions in our business, including the processing of business formations or Employer Identification Numbers, or EIN, numbers;

•adverse global macroeconomic and market conditions, as well as economic conditions specifically affecting industries in which our customers operate; and

•general geopolitical events and conditions, both domestically and internationally (such as the conflict in Ukraine).

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results and the price of our common stock may be particularly pronounced in the current global macroeconomic environment, including due to uncertainty caused by recessionary fears, inflation, rising interest rates and lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and their respective impacts on consumer spending patterns, the success of existing small businesses and the formation of new small businesses. In addition, fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause those results to fall below our financial guidance or other projections, or the expectations of analysts or investors, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline. Fluctuations in our results could also cause a number of other problems. For example, analysts or investors may change their models for valuing our common stock, we could experience short-term liquidity issues, our ability to retain or attract key personnel may diminish, and other unanticipated issues may arise.

Our quarterly operating results may vary in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. In addition, the seasonality of our business may change or become more pronounced over time, which could also cause our operating results to fluctuate. You should not rely on the results of any given quarter as an indication of future performance.

We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing expenses in the future, and we may not be able to maintain profitability

Since inception, we have incurred an accumulated deficit and may incur net losses in the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $901.0 million.

We will need to generate and sustain increased revenue levels in future periods in order to maintain or increase our level of profitability. We expect our cost of revenue and operating expenses to increase as we continue to invest in enhancing our customer experience and in new product development, including expert-assisted offerings for our tax and attorney-assisted legal offerings. Furthermore, as a public company, we are incurring legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. If our revenue and gross profit do not grow at a greater rate than our operating expenses, we will not be able to maintain or increase profitability and our business may be harmed. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including due to, among other things, the other risks and uncertainties described herein. Even if we are profitable, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to achieve sustained profitability would depress the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product offerings, market our current and planned products, or continue our operations.

If we fail to provide high-quality services, customer care and customer experience and add new services that meet our customers’ expectations, we may not be able to attract and retain customers

In order to increase revenue and maintain profitability, we must attract new customers and retain existing customers. The rate at which new and existing customers purchase and renew subscriptions to our services depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. The quality and value of our services, customer care and customer experience, as well as the quality and accuracy of the services provided by our accountants and the independent attorneys who participate in our and our partner’s networks, are critical to our ability to attract and retain customers.

We intend to add new services and enhance our existing product and services, which will require us to devote significant resources before we know whether such products or services will be successful. We have in the past invested resources and introduced new services that have failed to produce the customer interest that we expected. We may fail to attract new customers or lose existing customers if current or future development efforts or services fail to meet customer expectations on a timely basis if at all. For example, in October 2020, we introduced LZ Tax, a LegalZoom fulfilled tax advisory and preparation service, and in 2022, we began our first cycle of preparing tax filings at scale. We could fail to attract or retain existing customers if the independent attorneys who participate in our legal services plan or the tax experts who complete the tax preparation services fail to provide accurate, high-quality services, customer care and customer experience. In addition, larger enterprises may demand more support services and features, which puts additional pressure on us to satisfy the increased support required for these customers. If we are unable to continue offering innovative solutions or if new or enhanced solutions fail to engage our customers, we may be unable to attract additional customers or retain our current customers, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or future prospects.

If we do not continue to innovate and provide a platform that is useful to our customers, we may not remain competitive, and our results of operations could suffer

Our success depends on continued innovation to provide features that make our platform useful for existing and prospective customers. We have invested and intend to continue to invest resources in technology and development in order to continue improving the simplicity and effectiveness of our platform, and there is no assurance that our past or future investments will provide us with the benefits we expect. In addition, we have and may continue to introduce significant changes to our product offerings, including the offering of free or even lower cost products, or changes to our platform or develop and introduce new and unproven services, including using technologies with which we have little or no prior development or operating experience such as generative artificial intelligence.

We also offer many forms of documents on our platform, such as business formations and wills, which must comply with the latest local jurisdiction requirements. If there is a defect in any of our forms, or if we fail to timely update our forms to comply with new or modified jurisdiction requirements, this could result in negative consequences to our customers, legal liability, and harm our brand, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

In addition, because our platform is available over the internet or on mobile networks, we need to regularly modify and enhance our platform to keep pace with changes in internet-related hardware, software, communications and database technologies and standards. If we are unable to respond in a timely and cost-effective manner to these rapid technological developments and changes in standards, our platform may become less marketable, less competitive or obsolete, and our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects would be harmed. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver competitive services at lower prices, more efficiently,

more conveniently or more securely, such technologies could adversely impact our ability to compete. Our platform must also integrate with a variety of network, hardware, mobile, and software platforms and technologies, and we need to frequently modify and enhance our services to adapt to changes and innovation in these technologies. Any failure of our platform to operate effectively with future infrastructure platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our platform. If we are unable to respond to these changes in a cost-effective manner, our platform may become less marketable, less competitive or obsolete, and our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects may be adversely affected.

The legal solutions market is highly competitive

We operate in a very competitive industry. We face intense competition from law firms and solo attorneys, online legal document services, legal plans, secretaries of state, tax preparation companies and other service providers. The online legal solutions market is evolving rapidly and is becoming increasingly competitive, and new market entrants that provide technologies that improve the delivery of legal solutions, such as generative artificial intelligence and machine learning, could also increase the level of competition in the market. Other companies that focus on the online legal document services market or business formations and law firms that may elect to pursue the online legal document services market, can and do directly compete with us. Law firms and solo attorneys, who provide in-person consultations and are able to provide direct legal advice that we generally cannot offer due to laws and regulations regarding the unauthorized practice of law, or UPL, compete with us offline and have developed and may continue to develop competing online legal services. We compete in the registered agent services business with several companies that target small businesses, and these competitors have extensive experience in this market. In addition, if U.S. state agencies increase their offerings of free and easy-to-use business formation services, such as LLC formations and other document filings, or filing portals to the public, it could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. For example, certain U.S. states, including Nevada, California and Louisiana, offer online portals where consumers may file their articles of organization for free, other than filing fees. We also compete in the tax advisory and preparation services business with several companies. To the extent we are unable to compete, our business, results of operations, financial condition or future prospects may be harmed.

Any of our existing competitors, or other potential competitors that have not yet entered the market, may also develop innovative and cost-effective services, including automated corporate formation document processing, that target our existing and potential customers. We expect to face increasing competition from offline and online legal services providers in our market, including through their use of generative artificial intelligence, and our failure to effectively compete with these providers could result in revenue reductions, reduced margins, or loss of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

Our business depends on our brand and reputation, which could be adversely affected by numerous factors

We believe our brand has contributed to the success of our business and we have made substantial investments to build and strengthen our brand and reputation. Maintaining and enhancing the LegalZoom brand and our reputation is critical to growing and retaining our customer base. Regulatory proceedings, consumer claims, litigation, customer complaints or negative publicity through word-of-mouth, social media outlets, blogs, the Better Business Bureau and other sources related to our business practices, as well as customer care, data privacy and security issues, or reputation of our endorsers, irrespective of their validity, could diminish confidence in our services and adversely affect our brand and reputation and our ability to attract and retain customers.

In addition, our services, as well as those of our competitors, are regularly reviewed and commented upon by online and social media sources. Negative reviews, or reviews in which our competitors’ services are rated more highly than ours, irrespective of their accuracy, could negatively affect our brand and reputation. We have in the past received negative reviews wherein our customers expressed dissatisfaction with our services, including dissatisfaction with our customer support, our billing policies and the way our subscriptions operate, and we may receive similar reviews in the future. If we do not handle customer complaints effectively, our brand and reputation may suffer. We may lose our customers’ confidence, they may choose not to renew their subscriptions or purchase additional services from us, and we may fail to attract new customers. In addition, maintaining and enhancing our brand and reputation may require us to incur significant expenses and make substantial investments, which may not be successful. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand and reputation, or if we incur excessive expenses in doing so, our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects may be adversely affected.

Furthermore, our brand and reputation are in part reliant on third-parties, including the independent attorneys and accountants who participate in our and our partners’ networks. The failure or perceived failure of these attorneys and accountants to satisfy customer expectations could negatively impact our brand and reputation.

If our marketing efforts are unsuccessful, our ability to attract new customers or retain existing customers may be adversely affected, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects

Our ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers depends in large part on the success of our marketing channels. Our primary marketing channels that generate traffic for our websites include search engine marketing, television, radio and our inside sales team.

We rely on both algorithmic and paid listing internet search results to drive customer traffic to our websites. Algorithmic listings are determined and displayed solely by a set of formulas designed by internet search engine companies. Paid listings can be purchased and then are displayed if particular words or terms are included in a customer’s internet search. Our ability to maintain or increase customer traffic to our websites from internet search engines is not entirely within our control. For example, internet search engines sometimes revise their algorithms to optimize their search result listings or maintain their internal standards and strategies, which could cause our websites to receive less favorable placement and reduce traffic to our websites. In addition, we bid for paid listings against our competitors and third-parties that may outbid us for preferred placement, which could adversely impact advertising efficiency and customer acquisition efforts. If competition for paid listings increases, we may be required to increase our marketing expenses or reduce the number or prominence of these paid listings. If we reduce our internet search engine advertising, the number of customers who visit our websites could decline significantly. Additionally, changes in regulations or the business practices of third-parties could limit our ability and the ability of search engines and social media platforms, including but not limited to Google and Meta Platforms, to collect data from users and engage in targeted advertising, making them less effective in disseminating our advertisements to our target customers. The regulation of the use of cookies and other current online tracking and advertising practices or a loss in our ability to make effective use of services that employ such practices could adversely affect our business.

A reduction or loss of any of our advertising channels may adversely affect our ability to attract new customers, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

We depend on top talent, including our senior management team, to grow and operate our business, and if we are unable to hire, retain or motivate our employees, we may not be able to grow or operate effectively, which may adversely affect our business and future prospects

Our future success will depend upon our continued ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain top talent. Competition for such talent is intense, particularly within the technology industry. To attract top talent, we have had to offer, and believe we will need to continue to offer, highly competitive compensation and benefit packages before we can validate the productivity of those employees, a practice which may not be sustainable and, even if sustainable, can be costly. We have from time to time experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications which may, among other things, impede our ability to execute our growth strategies or continue to operate our business in a satisfactory manner. In addition, our Remote First work policy, which results in a predominantly remote workforce, has made it difficult to orient, train, develop, motivate, and engage with our employees and embed them into the LegalZoom culture. If we are not able to effectively attract or retain quality employees and manage our workforce, including, for example, if employee relations deteriorate or a portion of our employees were to become unionized, disruptions to the business will occur, our costs will increase, our ability to achieve our strategic objectives will be adversely impacted, our brand or reputation could suffer, and our business may be adversely affected. In addition, we have in the past, and may in the future, conduct reduction in workforce actions, which can lead to the elimination of roles causing unexpected adverse impacts on the growth and operation of our business.

In addition, if we cannot attract additional, qualified independent attorneys to participate in our legal plan network to service the needs of our legal plan subscribers, attorneys to support our attorney assisted legal offerings, and qualified certified public accountants, enrolled agents, and tax professionals to service the needs of our subscribers, or if these attorneys, accountants and tax professionals encounter regulatory issues that prevent them from being able to service the needs of our customers, we may not be able grow and maintain our legal plan subscription business, other assisted legal solutions or tax offerings effectively and our business, revenue, results of operations and future prospects may be adversely affected.

Our business and success depend in part on our strategic relationships with third-parties, including our partner ecosystem, and our business would be harmed if we fail to maintain or expand these relationships

We depend on, and anticipate we will continue to depend on, various third-party relationships to sustain and grow our business. For example, we partner with a variety of third-parties to provide business license services, website development, credit card and banking services, productivity tools and business insurance, among others. Our sales and our customers’ user experience are dependent on our ability to connect and integrate easily to such third-party solutions. We may fail to retain and expand relationships for many reasons, including third-parties’ failure to maintain, support, or secure their technology platforms in general, restrictions imposed by regulatory compliance, and our integrations in particular. Any such failure could harm our relationship with our customers, our reputation and brand, our business and results of operations, and our future prospects.

As we seek to add different types of partners to our partner ecosystem, it is uncertain whether these third-parties will be successful in building integrations, co-marketing our solutions to provide a significant volume and quality of lead referrals and orders, or continuing to work with us as their own products evolve. Identifying and negotiating new and expanded partner relationships requires significant resources and we cannot guarantee that the parties with which we have relationships can and will continue to devote the resources necessary to operate and expand our platform. In addition, integrating third-party technology can be complex, costly and time-consuming. Third-parties may be unwilling to build integrations, and we may be required to devote additional resources to develop integrations for business applications on our own. The contracts applicable to third-party development tools may be unfavorable and add costs or risks to our business or may require us to push additional contract terms to our

customers that affect our relationship with our customers. Third-parties we partner with, including providers of business applications with which we have integrations, may decide to compete with us or enter into arrangements with our competitors, resulting in such providers withdrawing support for our integrations. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with third-parties, our ability to compete or our revenue, results of operations and future prospects may be adversely affected. Even if we are successful in establishing and maintaining these relationships with third-parties, we cannot ensure that these relationships will result in increased usage of our platform or increased revenue. In addition, any failure of our solutions to operate effectively with these business applications could reduce the demand for our solutions and harm to our business and we may also be held responsible for obligations that arise from the actions or omissions of third-parties. If we are unable to respond to these failures in a cost-effective manner, our solutions may become less marketable, less competitive or obsolete, and our results of operations may be negatively impacted.

If we are unable to effectively manage and minimize errors, failures, interruptions or delays caused by third-parties, or if our third-party service providers cease to do business with us, our ability to deliver services to our customers and our business, brand, reputation and results of operations may be adversely affected

We rely on third-parties to fulfill portions of the services we offer and to support our operations. For example, we rely on government agencies, including secretary of state offices, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, to process business formation documents, tax filings and intellectual property applications. These agencies have in the past and may in the future be unable or refuse to process submissions in a timely manner, including as a result of any government shutdowns, slowdowns or staffing shortages. To the extent we are unable to process submissions or filings in a timely manner, our brand and reputation may be adversely affected, or customers may seek other avenues for their business formation, tax or intellectual property needs. We also utilize other third-parties in connection with the fulfillment and distribution of our services, including the independent attorneys in our legal plan network, as well as accountants and tax professionals through our subscription plans, and a third-party to support our registered agent subscription services. Our platform also interoperates with certain third-party sites. As a result, our results may be affected by the performance of those parties and the interoperability of our platform with other sites. If certain third-parties limit certain integration functionality, change their treatment of our services at any time, or experience quality issues, such as bugs and defects, our revenue, results of operations and future prospects may be adversely affected.

We also utilize various types of data, technology, intellectual property and services licensed or otherwise obtained from unaffiliated third-parties in order to provide certain elements of our solutions. We exercise limited control over these third-parties, which increases our vulnerability to problems with the services they provide for us and to security incidents or breaches affecting the data and information they hold or process on our behalf. Any errors or defects in any third-party data or other technology could result in errors in our solutions that could harm our business, damage our reputation and result in losses in revenue, and we could be required to undertake substantial additional research and expend significant development resources to fix any problems that arise. In addition, such licensed data, technology, intellectual property and services may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of these services on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, could result in delays in producing or delivering our solutions until equivalent data, technology, intellectual property or services are identified and integrated, which delays could harm our business. In this situation we would be required to either redesign our solutions to function with such equivalent data, technology, intellectual property or services available from other parties or to develop these components or services ourselves, which would result in increased costs and potential delays in service. Furthermore, we might be forced to limit the features available in our current or future solutions. If we fail to maintain or renegotiate any of these data, technology or intellectual property licenses or services, we could face significant delays and diversion of resources in attempting to develop similar or replacement technology, or to license and integrate a functional equivalent of the relevant data, technology, intellectual property or service. The occurrence of any of these events may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

Our failure to successfully address the evolving market for transactions on mobile devices and to build mobile products could harm our business

The number of people who access our platform through mobile devices, including smartphones and handheld tablets or computers, has increased significantly in the past few years and is expected to continue to increase. If we are not able to provide customers with the experience, solutions and functionality they want on mobile devices, we may not be able to attract or retain customers or convert our website traffic into customers and our business may be harmed. In addition, we face different fraud risks and regulatory risks from transactions sent from mobile devices than we do from personal computers. If we are unable to effectively anticipate and manage these risks, our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects may be harmed.

We may acquire or invest in companies, which may divert our management’s attention and result in additional dilution to our stockholders

We have in the past acquired or invested in businesses, products or technologies that we believed could complement or expand our current platform, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. As part of our business strategy, we may in the future continue to seek to acquire or invest in

businesses, products or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our services, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The risks we face in connection with such acquisitions or investments, whether or not they are consummated, include, but are not limited to:

•an acquisition may negatively affect our results of operations because it may require us to incur charges or assume substantial debt or other liabilities, may cause adverse tax consequences, may expose us to claims and disputes by stockholders and third-parties, including intellectual property claims and disputes, or may not generate sufficient financial return to offset additional costs and expenses related to the acquisition;

•we may encounter difficulties or unforeseen expenditures in integrating the business, technologies, products, personnel or operations of any company that we acquire, particularly if key personnel of the acquired company decide not to work for us;

•we may not be able to realize anticipated synergies on a timely basis, if at all;

•an acquisition or investment may disrupt our ongoing business, divert resources, increase our expenses and distract our management;

•an acquisition or investment may result in a delay or reduction of customer purchases for both us and the company acquired due to customer uncertainty about continuity and effectiveness of service from either company;

•we may encounter challenges integrating the employees of the acquired company into our company culture;

•our use of cash to pay for acquisitions or other investments would limit other potential uses for our cash;

•if we incur debt to fund any acquisitions, such debt may subject us to material restrictions on our ability to conduct our business due to new financial maintenance and other covenants; and

•if we issue a significant amount of equity securities in connection with any future acquisitions, existing stockholders may be diluted and earnings per share may decrease.

We have in the past faced difficulties in connection with integrating some of our acquisitions and expect to face similar difficulties in the future. These difficulties can range from lost productivity to legal proceedings, and we cannot know in advance the extent of the issues that may be involved with a particular acquisition or investment. We may also decide to restructure, divest or sell businesses, products or technologies that we have acquired or invested in previously. The occurrence of any of the foregoing risks could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

If we are unable to sustain our revenue growth rate, we may not maintain profitability in the future

Our revenue growth rate may decline despite our increased revenue growth rate in certain recent periods, even if our revenue increases in the future to higher levels on an absolute basis. As we grow our business, our revenue growth rate may slow in future periods due to a number of reasons. Any success that we may experience in the future will depend in large part on our ability to, among other things:

•maintain and expand our customer base;

•increase revenue from existing customers through increased or broader use of our services;

•provide high-quality services to customers;

•improve the performance and capabilities of our services through research and development;

•develop new services;

•maintain and/or increase the rate at which customers purchase our subscriptions;

•identify and acquire or invest in new businesses, products or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our platform;

•continue to successfully expand our business; and

•successfully compete with other companies.

If we are unable to maintain consistent revenue or revenue growth, our stock price could be volatile, and it may be difficult to maintain profitability. You should not rely on our revenue for any prior quarterly or annual periods as any indication of our future revenue or revenue growth.

Our focus on the long-term best interests of our company and our consideration of our stakeholders, more broadly, including our stockholders, customers, employees, and other stakeholders that we may identify from time to time,

may conflict with short- or medium-term financial interests and business performance, which may negatively impact the value of our common stock

We believe that focusing on the long-term best interests of our company and our consideration of our stakeholders more broadly, including our stockholders, customers, employees, partners, the communities in which we operate, and other stakeholders we may identify from time to time, is essential to the long-term success of our company and to long-term stockholder value. Therefore, we have made decisions, and may in the future make decisions, that we believe are in the long-term best interests of our company and our stockholders, even if such decisions may negatively impact the short- or medium-term performance of our business, results of operations, and financial condition or the short- or medium-term performance of our common stock. Our commitment to pursuing long-term value for our company and our stockholders, potentially at the expense of short- or medium-term performance, may materially adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, including by making owning our common stock less appealing to investors who are focused on returns over a shorter time horizon. Our decisions and actions in pursuit of long-term success and long-term stockholder value, which may include changes to our platform to enhance the experience of our customers, partners and the communities in which we operate, including by improving the trust and safety of our platform, enabling equitable access to legal and compliance services, investing in our relationships with our customers, partners, and employees, investing in and introducing new services, or changing our approach to working with local or national jurisdictions on laws and regulations governing our business, may not result in the long-term benefits that we expect, in which case our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as the trading price of our common stock, could be materially adversely affected.

Further, the independent attorneys who participate in our legal plans and attorneys who fulfill our attorney assisted legal offerings have duties both to the courts and their clients. These duties, including the associated responsibilities, such as confidentiality and the rules relating to the attorney-client and attorney work product privileges, are paramount. There could be circumstances in which the attorneys who participate in our network and fulfill the attorney assisted legal offerings believe that in order to comply with these duties they may have to act against the interests of our stockholders and the short-term profitability of our business.

We may not effectively ensure that online services and physical locations are protected from significant outages, denial or degradation of service attacks, natural disasters, including adverse weather conditions, and other disruptions, any of which could adversely affect our brand and reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects

A key element of our business operations and continued growth is the ability of our customers to access our websites and mobile applications and our ability to fulfill orders placed through such platforms. Our systems may not be adequately designed with the necessary reliability to avoid performance delays, disruptions or outages that could be harmful to our business. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, website disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure maintenance, human or software errors, ransomware attacks, capacity constraints, denial or degradation of service, fraud or security attacks. In some instances, the steps we have taken to try to prevent these attacks and disruptions and mitigate their potential impact on our systems and operations may be expensive and may not be successful in preventing system failures. In addition, dependence upon automated systems may further increase the risk that operational system flaws, employee error or tampering, or manipulation of those systems will result in defects or efforts that are difficult to detect. We may not be able to identify the cause or causes of any website or mobile application performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our website or mobile application performance, especially during peak usage times, if the number of online services we offer increases, our services become more complex, or our customer traffic grows. If our websites or mobile applications are unavailable when customers attempt to access them, our customers may seek other solutions to address their needs and may not return to our websites or mobile applications in the future. In addition, if our customers are unable to access the information they store on our platform for even limited periods of time, data protection laws may require us to notify regulators and affected individuals, which may increase the likelihood of regulatory investigations into our data protection practices. Any failure to maintain performance, reliability, security or availability of our legal document services and online technology platform to the satisfaction of our customers may harm our brand and reputation, as well as our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects. In addition, to the extent that we do not effectively address future capacity constraints, upgrade and protect our systems, and continually develop our online legal platform to accommodate actual and anticipated technology changes, our brand and reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects could be adversely affected.

Our operations and online services also rely on the continued functioning and accessibility of certain physical locations, including product fulfillment locations and data centers operated by LegalZoom or our service providers. These physical locations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, power losses, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks, human errors, break-ins and similar events. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events or other unanticipated problems at our facilities could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. We may not be able to efficiently relocate our fulfillment and delivery operations due to disruptions in service if one of these events occurs, and our insurance coverage may be insufficient to compensate us for such losses. Because the Los Angeles area, where our corporate and executive headquarters is located, is in an

earthquake fault zone and because both the Los Angeles area and Austin, Texas, where our operational headquarters is currently located, are subject to the increased risk of wildfires, tornadoes and power outages, we are particularly sensitive to the risk of damage to, or total destruction of, our primary offices and two key fulfillment and delivery centers. Our insurance limits against any certain losses or expenses that may result from a disruption to our business due to earthquakes or wildfires may not be sufficient to cover all such losses or expenses, and the occurrence of either of these events could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

We may from time to time become involved in litigation, arbitration or government investigation matters that are expensive and time consuming and, if resolved adversely, could harm our brand and reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition or future prospects

We have been or could become involved in lawsuits and other actions brought by customers, purported competitors, regulators, and other parties alleging that we engage in the unauthorized practice of law, unfairly compete or otherwise violate the law. We could also be subject to claims, lawsuits, arbitrations, regulatory actions, or other legal proceedings involving a litany of issues, including patent, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property matters, taxes, labor and employment, competition and antitrust, privacy, data use, data protection, data security, network security, consumer protection, unfair business practices, breach of contract and other matters. We anticipate that we will continue to be a target for such lawsuits in the future.

The plaintiffs in these actions generally seek monetary damages, penalties, and/or injunctive relief. We cannot predict the outcome of such proceedings or the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve such proceedings. If such claims are made against us, there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained; if such claims were to be determined adversely to our interests, or if we were forced to settle such matters for a significant amount, such resolutions or settlements may result in changes to or discontinuance of some of our services, potential liabilities or additional costs. Defending these claims is also costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees, and we may receive unfavorable preliminary or interim rulings in the course of litigation. Any litigation to which we are currently or may in the future be a party may result in an onerous or unfavorable judgment that may not be reversed upon appeal, or we may decide to settle lawsuits on unfavorable terms. Any such negative outcome could result in payments of substantial monetary damages or fines, injunctive relief, adverse effects on the market price of our common stock or changes to our products or business practices, and accordingly, our brand and reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition or future prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

We also may encounter future claims. For example, our U.K. subsidiary previously operated as an alternative business structure, or ABS, which allows corporate entities to become licensed providers of reserved legal activities in that jurisdiction. Similarly, our U.S. subsidiary, LZ Legal Services, LLC, was licensed in September 2021 as an Arizona ABS and became operational in July 2022. As a result, these subsidiaries may be susceptible to potential claims from clients, such as breach of contract, product liability, negligence or other claims. Any such claims could result in reputational damage or an adverse effect on our results of operations. The professional liability insurance held by these subsidiaries and limiting their respective liability in accordance with engagement letters with clients may not insure or protect against all potential claims or sufficiently indemnify us or either subsidiary for all liability that may be incurred. Any such liability, inclusive of the costs and expenses that may be incurred in defending any such claims, that exceeds the insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or future prospects.

We are subject to risks related to accepting credit and debit card payments that may harm our business or expose us to additional costs and liabilities

We accept payments from our customers primarily through credit and debit card transactions. Our customers generally pay for transactions in advance by credit or debit card except for certain services provided under installment plans where we allow customers to pay for their order in two or three equal payments. Acceptance and processing of credit and debit cards requires that we pay interchange and other fees. In addition, we rely on third-parties to provide payment processing services, including the processing of our credit and debit card transactions, and to provide payment collection services. To the extent there are increases in payment processing fees, material changes in the payment ecosystem, such as large re-issuances of payment cards, delays in receiving payments from payment processors, loss of payment partners and/or disruptions or failures in our payment processing systems, including products we use to update payment information, our revenue, operating expenses and results of operation could be adversely impacted. For example, if our processing vendors have problems with our billing software or the billing software malfunctions, we could lose customers who subscribe to our legal plans, registered agent services and other subscription services, which could decrease our revenue. In addition, if our billing software fails to work properly and, as a result, we do not automatically charge our subscribers’ credit cards on a timely basis or at all, our revenue could be adversely affected.

We are also subject to payment card industry rules, certification requirements and rules governing electronic funds transfer, any of which could change or be reinterpreted to make it more difficult for us to comply. Our failure to comply fully with these rules or requirements may subject us to fines, higher transaction fees, penalties, damages, and

civil liability and may result in the loss of our ability to accept credit and debit card payments, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition, Indebtedness and Capital Requirements

Our results of operations may not immediately reflect downturns or upturns in sales because we recognize revenue from our customers over the term of their paid subscriptions with us

We recognize revenue from paid subscriptions to our services over the respective term of the subscription period. After a short introductory trial period, if any, most paying subscribers make a one-year subscription commitment, with the upcoming annual subscription fee paid upon subscribing. As a result, much of our revenue is generated from the recognition of deferred revenue relating to subscriptions entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a shortfall in demand for our services or a decline in new or renewed subscriptions in any one quarter may have a small impact on the revenue that we recognize for that quarter but could negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in sales and potential changes in our pricing policies or rate of customer expansion or retention may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. In addition, a significant majority of our costs are expensed as incurred, while revenue is recognized over the life of the subscription agreement. As a result, growth in the number of customers could continue to result in our recognition of higher costs and lower revenue in the earlier periods of our subscription agreements. Finally, our subscription-based revenue model also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from new customers and significant increases in the size of subscriptions with existing customers must be recognized over the applicable subscription term.

We track certain financial and operating metrics with internal systems and tools and do not independently verify such metrics. Certain of our financial and operating metrics are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business

We track certain financial and operating metrics, including key business metrics such as number of transactions, number of subscription units and average revenue per customer, with internal company data, systems and tools that are not independently verified by any third-party. Our internal systems and tools have a number of limitations, and our methodologies for tracking these metrics may change over time, which could result in unexpected changes to our metrics, including the metrics we publicly disclose. If the internal systems and tools we use to track these metrics under count or over count performance or contain algorithmic or other technical errors, the data we report may not be accurate. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates of our metrics for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring how our services are used across large populations globally. For example, there are customers who have multiple subscriptions, which we treat as multiple subscription units for purposes of calculating our subscription units.

In addition, limitations or errors with respect to how we measure data or with respect to the data that we measure may affect our understanding of certain details of our business, which could affect our long-term strategies. If our financial and operating metrics are not accurate representations of our business, or if we discover material inaccuracies in our metrics, our reputation may be harmed, and our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects could be adversely affected.

We are in the process of implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning, or ERP, software system and challenges with the implementation of the system may impact our business and operations

We implemented the initial phase of our new ERP software system and related infrastructure in the first quarter of 2022. We will continue the process of implementing the ERP on a company-wide basis to support future growth and to integrate our processes. The continued implementation efforts of the ERP software program may prove to be more difficult, costly, or time consuming than expected, and it is possible that the system will not yield the benefits anticipated. Any disruptions, delays or deficiencies in the design and implementation of our new ERP software program could materially impact our operations and adversely affect our ability to process orders, fulfill contractual obligations or otherwise operate our business. Additionally, future cost estimates related to our new ERP software system are based on assumptions that are subject to wide variability.

The restatement of our prior quarterly financial statements may affect investor confidence and raise reputational issues and may subject us to additional risks and uncertainties, including increased professional costs and the increased possibility of legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries

As previously disclosed, we determined to restate our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 after we identified an error within our income tax provision relating to the identification of named executive officers subject to limitation on the deductibility of executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). As a result of this error and the resulting restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the impacted periods, we have incurred, and may continue to incur, unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with or related to the restatement, and have become subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including the increased possibility of litigation and

regulatory inquiries. Any of the foregoing may affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our financial disclosures and may raise reputational risks for our business, both of which could harm our business and financial results.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and, if we fail to remediate these material weaknesses, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence and the price of our common stock

As disclosed in Part II, Item 4, “Controls and Procedures” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we identified the following material weaknesses as of March 31, 2023:

•We did not maintain an effective control environment. Specifically, we did not maintain sufficient accounting resources commensurate with our structure and financial reporting requirements. This material weakness contributed to the additional material weaknesses described below.

•We did not design and maintain effective controls to address the initial application of complex accounting standards and accounting of non-routine, unusual or complex events and transactions.

•We did not design and maintain effective controls over our financial statement close process. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the income tax provision and certain account analyses and account reconciliations.

The material weakness related to the income tax provision resulted in the restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters and year-to-date periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022. The material weaknesses related to the control environment, the initial application of complex accounting standards and accounting of non-routine, unusual or complex events or transactions and certain account reconciliations and certain account analyses resulted in adjustments to our 2018 financial statements primarily related to debt extinguishment costs, goodwill, revenue, accounts receivable, foreign exchange expense and deferred revenue. Additionally, these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of any account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

As a result of the foregoing material weaknesses, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023. We have designed and implemented a plan to remediate the material weaknesses identified. See Part II, Item 4, “Controls and Procedures” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our remediation plan. We cannot assure you that these measures will significantly improve or remediate the material weaknesses described above on a timely basis, if at all. The implementation of these remediation measures will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. If the steps we have taken do not remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, there could continue to be a reasonable possibility that these control deficiencies or others would result in an additional material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If this occurs, it could adversely impact the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting and our stock price which, in turn, could jeopardize our ability to comply with our reporting obligations, limit our ability to access the capital markets and adversely impact our stock price. In addition, investors’ perceptions that our internal control over financial reporting is inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis may make it more difficult for us to effectively market and sell our services to new and existing customers.

If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock may decline

We are required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. On an annual basis, we are required to furnish a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 and our independent registered public accounting firm is required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Compiling the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404 is costly and challenging. Our compliance with Section 404 requires that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. We have hired and may need to continue to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and compile the system and process documentation necessary to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

During the evaluation and testing process of our internal control over financial reporting, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023. We cannot assure you that there will not be additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations. As a result of our material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would also require

additional financial and management resources. Failure to remedy the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting on a timely basis, if at all, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

The agreement governing our 2021 Revolving Facility requires us to meet certain operating and financial covenants and places restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, the terms of any new debt could further restrict our ability to operate our business

The revolving facility that we entered into in July 2021, or the 2021 Revolving Facility, contains affirmative and negative covenants, indemnification provisions and events of default. The affirmative covenants include, among others, administrative, reporting and legal covenants, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The negative covenants include, among others, limitations on our and certain of our subsidiaries’ abilities to carry out the following, in each case subject to certain exceptions:

•incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;

•create or incur liens;

•pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock;

•merge, liquidate and make asset sales;

•change lines of business;

•change our fiscal year;

•incur restrictions on our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions and create liens;

•modify our organizational documents;

•make investments, loans and advances; and

•enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

The 2021 Revolving Facility also contains a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a total net first lien leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00 on the last day of any fiscal quarter during which our 2021 Revolving Facility usage exceeds 35% of the 2021 Revolving Facility capacity. As a result of the restrictions described above, we will be limited as to how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders or amend the covenants.

Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in the 2021 Revolving Facility may be affected by economic, financial and industry conditions beyond our control. The restrictions in the 2021 Revolving Facility may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interests of our business and may make it difficult for us to execute our business strategy successfully or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. Our failure to comply with the restrictive covenants and other terms of our indebtedness could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the lenders declaring all obligations, together with accrued and unpaid interest, immediately due and payable and take control of the collateral, potentially requiring us to renegotiate the 2021 Revolving Facility on terms less favorable to us and could also trigger cross-default provisions in other contracts, potentially resulting in serious consequences to our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects, including bankruptcy or insolvency. Even if the 2021 Revolving Facility is terminated, any additional debt that we incur in the future could subject us to similar or additional covenants.

In addition, the 2021 Revolving Facility also permits borrowings denominated in Euros, British pound sterling and other alternative currencies that may be approved by the administrative agent and revolving lenders. Such non-U.S. dollar-denominated debt may not necessarily correspond to the cash flow we generate in such currencies.

We are subject to fluctuations in interest rates

Any borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Facility will be subject to variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. Sharp changes in interest rates, such as the current rising interest rate environment, including the U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent increases in interest rates, could adversely affect us if amounts are outstanding under the 2021 Revolving Facility. Further, if future rates based upon SOFR are higher or more volatile than USD LIBOR rates as historically determined, we may experience potential increases in interest rates on any variable rate debt, which could adversely impact our interest expense, results of operations and cash flows. In the future, we may enter into contractual arrangements designed to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates. If we enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risk in the future, we may not maintain interest rate swaps, caps or other applicable financial instruments with respect to all of our indebtedness, and any financial instrument we enter into may not fully mitigate our interest rate risk, may prove disadvantageous or may create additional risks. If these hedging arrangements are unsuccessful, we may experience an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

Changes in tax laws or tax rulings could affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows

The tax regimes we are subject to or operate under, including income and non-income taxes, are unsettled and may be subject to significant change. Changes in tax laws, regulations or rulings, or changes in interpretations of existing laws and regulations, could affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For example, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or Tax Act, made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including changes to U.S. federal tax rates, additional limitations on the deductibility of interest, both positive and negative changes to the utilization of net operating loss, or NOL carryforwards, allowing for the expensing of certain capital expenditures, and putting into effect the migration from a “worldwide” system of taxation to a largely territorial system. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, research and development costs are no longer fully deductible and are required to be capitalized and amortized for U.S. tax purposes effective January 1, 2022. The mandatory capitalization requirement could have an impact on our deferred tax assets and cash tax liabilities.

The issuance of additional regulatory or accounting guidance related to the Tax Act could affect our tax obligations and effective tax rate in the period issued. In addition, many countries in Europe, as well as a number of other countries and organizations, have recently proposed or recommended changes to existing tax laws or have enacted new laws that could significantly increase our tax obligations in the countries where we do business or require us to change the manner in which we operate our business.

In addition, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, enacted in August 2022, imposed a 1% excise tax on net repurchases of shares by domestic corporations whose stock is traded on an established securities market. The excise tax has been imposed on repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022. The imposition of the excise tax on repurchases of our shares could increase the cost to us of making repurchases and could cause management to reduce the number of shares repurchased pursuant to our stock repurchase program.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has been working on a Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project, and issued a report in 2015, an interim report in 2018, and is expected to continue to issue guidelines and proposals that may change various aspects of the existing framework under which our tax obligations are determined in many of the countries in which we do business. Similarly, the European Commission and several countries have issued proposals that would change various aspects of the current tax framework under which we are taxed. These proposals include changes to the existing framework to calculate income tax, as well as proposals to change or impose new types of non-income taxes, including taxes based on a percentage of revenue. For example, several countries have proposed or enacted taxes applicable to digital services, which could apply to our business.

Our ability to use our NOL carryforwards may be limited

We have incurred substantial losses during our history and may not be able to maintain profitability. Unused U.S. federal net operating losses, or NOLs, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018, may be carried forward to offset future taxable income, if any, until such unused NOLs expire. Under the Tax Act, as modified by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, U.S. federal NOLs incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, can be carried forward indefinitely and are limited to 80% of taxable income. For U.S. federal NOLs incurred in taxable years 2018, 2019, and 2020 may be carried back 5 years and carried forward indefinitely and are limited to 80% of taxable income if utilized after December 31, 2020.

In addition, under Section 382 of the Code and corresponding provisions of state law, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOL carryforwards to offset its post- change income or taxes may be limited. We have completed a Section 382 study and have determined that none of our net operating losses will expire solely due to Section 382 limitations. However, we may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of shifts in our stock ownership, some of which may be outside of our control. This could limit the amount of NOLs that we can utilize annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. Subsequent ownership changes and changes to the U.S. tax rules in respect of the utilization of NOLs may further affect the limitation in future years. In addition, at the state level, there may be periods during which the use of NOLs is suspended or otherwise limited, which could accelerate or permanently increase state taxes owed.

Changes in our effective tax rate or tax liability may have an adverse effect on our results of operations

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment by management, and there are many transactions where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We believe that our provision for income taxes is reasonable, but the ultimate tax outcome may differ from the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements and may affect our financial results in the period or periods in which such outcome is determined.

Our effective tax rate could increase due to several factors, including:

•changes in the relative amounts of income before taxes in the various jurisdictions in which we operate that have differing statutory tax rates;

•changes in tax laws, tax treaties, and regulations or the interpretation of them, including the Tax Act and the CARES Act;

•changes to our assessment about our ability to realize our deferred tax assets that are based on estimates of our future results, the prudence and feasibility of possible tax planning strategies, and the economic and political environments in which we do business;

•the outcome of current and future tax audits, examinations, or administrative appeals; and

•the effects of acquisitions.

Any of these developments could adversely affect our results of operations.

Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations

New income, sales, use, or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time, which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. Further, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified, or applied adversely to us. For example, the Tax Act enacted many significant changes to the U.S. tax laws. Future guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities with respect to the Tax Act may affect us, and certain aspects of the Tax Act could be repealed or modified in future legislation. Changes in our business operations, acquisitions, investments, new geographies and intercompany transactions may affect our tax expense and liabilities as well as the realization of net deferred tax assets. All of the items above as well as future reform legislation could potentially have a material impact on the value of our deferred tax assets, could result in significant one-time charges, and could increase our future U.S. tax expense.

Risks Relating to Legal, Compliance and Regulatory Matters

Our business and services subject us to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding the unauthorized practice of law, legal document processing, legal plans and other related matters

Our business involves providing services that meet the legal and accounting needs of our customers and, as a result, is subject to a variety of complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including the following:

•Our business model includes the provision of services that represent an alternative to traditional legal services, which subjects us to allegations of UPL. UPL generally refers to an entity or person giving legal advice that is not licensed to practice law or advertising their services as the practice of law. However, laws and regulations defining UPL, and the governing bodies that enforce UPL rules, differ among the various jurisdictions in which we operate and are often vague.

•In the U.S., we are generally unable to hire attorneys as employees to provide legal advice directly to our customers, because we do not meet certain regulatory requirements, such as being exclusively owned by licensed attorneys. In addition, we are currently unable to acquire a license to practice law in most U.S. states, laws, regulations and professional responsibility rules impose limitations on business transactions between attorneys and persons who are not licensed attorneys, including those related to the ethics of attorney fee-splitting and CPL.

•Regulation of legal document processing services and registered agent services varies among the jurisdictions in which we conduct business.

•Regulation of our legal plans varies considerably among the insurance departments, bar associations, Supreme Courts and attorneys general of each U.S. state. In addition, some U.S. states and federal agencies may seek to regulate our legal plans or other subscription plans.

Our business operations also subject us to laws and regulations relating to general business practices, and the manner in which we offer our services to customers subjects us to various consumer laws and regulations, including false advertising, payment laws, telephone sales, email marketing, automatic contract or subscription renewal, and deceptive trade practices.

The scope of these laws and regulations are often vague and broad, and their applications and interpretations are often uncertain and conflicting. Compliance with these disparate laws and regulations requires us to structure our business and services differently in certain jurisdictions. Additionally, these laws and regulations are evolving, and changes in such laws could require us to significantly change the ways we structure our business and services. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to convert our transactional customers to subscribers or attract new subscribers to grow our subscription services. We dedicate significant management time and expense to dealing with these issues and expect that these issues will continue to be a significant focus as we expand into other services and jurisdictions.

In addition, any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with applicable laws and regulations may subject us to regulatory inquiries, claims, suits and prosecutions. We have also incurred in the past, and expect to incur in the future, costs associated with responding to, defending, resolving, and/or settling proceedings, particularly those related to UPL, competitor claims and the provision of our services more generally. We can give no assurance that we will prevail in such regulatory inquiries, claims, suits and prosecutions on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Responding to, defending and/or settling regulatory inquiries, claims, suits and prosecutions may be time-consuming and divert management and financial resources or have other adverse effects on our business. A negative outcome in any of these proceedings may result in claims, changes to or discontinuance of some of our services, potential liabilities or additional costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, future prospects and brand.

Our Arizona subsidiary, which is licensed as an ABS, may not insulate us from claims of the unauthorized practice of law and is subject to restrictions under Arizona Code of Judicial Administration

Arizona currently permits non-lawyers to co-own law firms and other legal service operations. In September 2021, we applied for and received our license to operate our Arizona ABS, which employs and contracts with licensed attorneys to provide limited scope legal services to U.S.-based consumers who purchase such services on our websites. Our U.S. subsidiary, LZ Legal Services, LLC, which holds the license to operate the Arizona ABS, may be susceptible to potential claims from clients, such as breach of contract, product liability, negligence or other claims. Any such claims could result in reputational damage or an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, this structure is generally untested in U.S. courts and we cannot assure you that it will insulate us from claims of CPL or UPL. The professional liability insurance held by our U.S. subsidiary and limiting its liability in accordance with its engagement letters with clients, may not insure or protect against all potential claims or sufficiently indemnify us or our U.S. subsidiary for all liability that may be incurred. Any such liability, inclusive of the costs and expenses that may be incurred in defending any such claims, that exceeds the insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or future prospects.

In addition, under Section 7-209 of the Arizona Code of Judicial Administration, or ACJA, there are restrictions on the holding of an interest of 10% or more in the issued share capital of a licensed ABS or the parent company of such licensed ABS. As our wholly owned Arizona subsidiary is a licensed ABS for the purposes of the ACJA, these restrictions apply to any holder(s) of 10% or more of our common stock. Each “authorized person”, as defined in ACJA 702-9, including the members of our Board could be required to file an ABS Authorized Person application with the Arizona Supreme Court when determined to be seeking a restricted interest. The Arizona Supreme Court may attach conditions to any authorization granted in respect to holding of a restricted interest.

The Arizona Supreme Court can force any person who acquires a restricted interest in contravention of the applicable rules, whether knowingly or unknowingly, to divest its share ownership in the licensed ABS or its parent company. The Arizona Supreme Court also has the ability to suspend or revoke our Arizona subsidiary’s licensed ABS status in the event any such contravention occurs. Any suspension or revocation of our Arizona subsidiary’s licensed ABS status would have a serious detrimental impact on our business, and, in such circumstances, we would seek to collaborate with the Arizona Supreme Court to minimize any resultant business disruption.

If the independent professionals who participate in our or our partners' networks, or otherwise work with LegalZoom as a consultant or contractor, are characterized as employees, we would be subject to employment and withholding liabilities and regulatory risks

We structure our relationships with the independent attorneys and independent accountants who participate in our and our partners' networks in a manner that we believe results in an independent contractor relationship, not an employee relationship. On the other hand, some of our LZ Tax offerings as well as our intellectual property offerings are fulfilled by our or subsidiary’s own employee accountants, tax professionals, lawyers and fulfillment staff. We also use contractors, temporary employees and/or consultants as part of our operations. An independent contractor is generally distinguished from an employee by his or her degree of autonomy and independence in providing services. A high degree of autonomy and independence is generally indicative of a contractor relationship, while a high degree of control is generally indicative of an employment relationship. Tax or other regulatory authorities may in the future challenge our characterization of the independent attorneys who participate in our and our partners' networks of these relationships, or the other contractors and consultants used by us. If such regulatory authorities or state, federal or foreign courts were to determine that these attorneys, accountants or other contractors and consultants are employees, and not independent contractors, we would be required to withhold income taxes, to withhold and pay social security, Medicare and similar taxes, to pay unemployment and other related payroll taxes and could face allegations of UPL or CPL. We would also be liable for unpaid past taxes and subject to penalties. As a result, any determination that these individuals are our employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects. It is also possible that we could face claims of joint employment from the independent professionals who participate in our partner networks or from individuals working as a consultant, temporary employee, or contractor, if they were to pursue employment claims against LegalZoom. If a joint employment relationship is found to exist, joint liability for any successful claims would also likely exist.

Compliance with U.S. and global privacy and data security requirements could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit our ability to collect and store data, and the failure to comply with such requirements could subject us to significant fines and penalties, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and reputation

In the ordinary course of business, we collect and process information supplied by our customers, which may include personal information and other data. As a result, aspects of our business are subject to laws, rules and

regulations in the U.S. and in other countries relating to privacy and the collection, use and security of personal information, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, or CCPA, and the California Privacy Rights Act, or CRPA. We are also subject to the terms of our privacy policies and obligations to third-parties related to privacy, data protection and information security. Any actual or perceived failure by us or third-parties working on our behalf to comply with applicable privacy and data security laws, rules and regulations, including the GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA or related contractual or other obligations, or any perceived privacy rights violation, could lead to investigations, claims, and proceedings by governmental entities and private parties, damages for contract breach, additional reporting obligations and other significant costs, penalties, and other liabilities, as well as harm to our reputation and market position. In addition, the global regulatory framework for privacy and data security issues is rapidly evolving and privacy and data security laws have been and may in the future be enacted by other U.S. states and countries in which we do business. As a result, interpretation of applicable privacy and data security laws, rules and regulations is ongoing, may not be fully determined at this time and may conflict across jurisdictions. In our efforts to meet the various data privacy regulations that apply to us, we have made and continue to make certain operational changes to our products and business practices. Preparing for and complying with these laws, rules and regulations requires significant time and resources and may necessitate further changes to our information technologies, systems, and practices and to those of our customers, and of any third-parties that process personal data on our behalf. In addition, these obligations may require us to change our business model.

In addition, a growing number of legislative and regulatory bodies have adopted consumer notification and other requirements in the event that consumer information is accessed by unauthorized persons, and additional regulations regarding the use, access, accuracy, and security of such data are possible. In the U.S., state laws provide for disparate notification regimes. If our practices are deemed to be an invasion of privacy, whether or not consistent with current or future regulations and industry practices, we may be subject to public criticism, private class actions, reputational harm, or claims by regulators, which could disrupt our business and expose us to increased liability. Our failure to comply with these laws, or any future laws or regulations of a similar nature, could result in substantial regulatory penalties, litigation expense, and loss of revenue.

Further, certain jurisdictions have enacted data localization laws and cross-border personal data transfer laws, which may make it more difficult for us to transfer personal data across jurisdictions (such as transferring or receiving personal data that originates in the EU or in other foreign jurisdictions). Existing mechanisms that facilitate cross-border personal data transfers may change or be invalidated. For example, the GDPR generally prohibits the transfer of personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area that the European Commission does not consider to provide an adequate level of privacy and data security, such as the U.S., absent appropriate safeguards. In addition, certain countries outside Europe have also passed or are considering laws requiring local data residency or otherwise impeding the transfer of personal data across borders, any of which could increase the cost and complexity of doing business. If we cannot implement a valid compliance mechanism for cross-border data transfers, we may face increased exposure to regulatory actions, substantial fines, and injunctions against processing personal data from Europe or other foreign jurisdictions. The inability to import personal data to the U.S. could significantly and negatively impact our business operations, limit our ability to collaborate with parties that are subject to cross-border data transfer or localization laws, or require us to increase our data processing capabilities and infrastructure in foreign jurisdictions at significant expense.

Breaches and other types of security incidents of our networks or systems, or those of our third-party service providers, could negatively impact our ability to conduct our business, our brand and reputation, our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, and may cause us to incur significant liabilities and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects

We collect, use, store, transmit and process data and information about our customers, employees and others, some of which may be sensitive, personal or confidential. Any actual or perceived breach of our security measures or those of our third-party service providers could adversely affect our business, operations and future prospects. A third-party that is able to circumvent our security measures or those of our third-party service providers may access, misappropriate, delete, alter, publish or modify this information, which could cause interruptions in our business and operations, fraud or loss to third-parties, regulatory enforcement actions, litigation, indemnity obligations and other possible liabilities, as well as negative publicity. Widespread negative publicity may also result from real, threatened or perceived security compromises affecting our industry, competitors and customers. Concerns regarding data privacy and security could cause some of our customers to stop using our services and fail to renew their subscriptions. This discontinuance in use and failure to renew could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

Our internal computer systems, cloud-based computing services, and those of our current and any future third-party service providers are vulnerable to a variety of evolving threats. Cyberattacks and other malicious internet-based activity, such as computer malware, hacking and phishing attempts, continue to increase. In addition to traditional computer “hackers,” malicious code (such as viruses, worms and ransomware), social engineering, cyber extortion and personnel theft or misuse, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors now engage in similar attacks (including advanced persistent threat intrusions). Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact

of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting such payments.

We have adopted a remote-first policy, which permits all employees to work remotely or virtually indefinitely unless the nature of the employee’s job requires their in-office presence. This policy, which results in a predominantly remote workforce, may pose additional data security risks to our information technology systems and data, as more of our employees work from home and utilize network connections outside our premises. Additionally, future or past business transactions (such as acquisitions or integrations) could expose us to additional cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, as our systems could be negatively affected by vulnerabilities present in acquired or integrated entities’ systems and technologies. Any of the previously identified or similar threats could cause a security breach or other interruption. A security breach or other interruption could result in unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental acquisition, modification, destruction, loss, alteration, encryption, disclosure of, or access to our sensitive information.

We may expend significant resources or modify our business activities to try to protect against security breaches. In addition, certain data privacy and security obligations have required and may in the future require us to implement and maintain specific security measures, industry-standard or reasonable security measures to protect our information technology systems and sensitive information, including contractually. We cannot guarantee that our security measures to protect customer information and prevent data loss and other security breaches will be sufficient to protect against unauthorized access to, or other compromise of, personal information confidential or proprietary information. The techniques used to sabotage or to obtain unauthorized access to our platform, systems, networks and/or physical facilities in which data is stored or through which data is transmitted change frequently, and we have not always been able in the past and may be unable in the future to anticipate such techniques or implement adequate preventative measures or stop security breaches that may arise from such techniques. As a result, our safeguards and preventive measures may not be adequate to prevent past, current or future cyberattacks and security breaches, including security breaches that may remain undetected for extended periods of time, which can substantially increase the potential for a material adverse impact resulting from the breach. Further, we may experience delays in developing and deploying remedial measures designed to address any such identified vulnerabilities.

Like many companies, we rely on third-party service providers to operate critical business systems to process sensitive information in a variety of contexts, including, without limitation, third-party providers of cloud-based infrastructure, employee email, and other functions. We may share or receive sensitive information with or from third-parties. Our ability to monitor these third-parties’ information security practices is limited, and these third-parties may not have adequate information security measures in place.

If we, or third-parties upon which we rely, experience or are perceived to have experienced (in the past or future) a security breach, we may experience adverse consequences. Applicable data privacy and security obligations may require us to notify relevant stakeholders, which may include affected individuals, regulatory authorities, or customers of security breaches. We operate in an industry that is prone to cyberattacks. We have experienced security breaches for which we were legally required to notify individuals, customers, regulators, the media and others. Data breach notification disclosures are costly, and could lead adverse consequences. In addition, the costs to respond to a cybersecurity event or to mitigate any security vulnerabilities that may be identified could be significant, including costs for remediating the effects of such an event, paying a ransom, restoring data from backups and conducting data analysis to determine what data may have been affected by the breach. In addition, our efforts to contain or remediate a security breach or any vulnerability exploited to cause a breach may be unsuccessful, and efforts and any related failures to contain or remediate them could result in interruptions, delays, loss in customer trust, harm to our reputation and increases to our insurance coverage.

Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our data privacy and security obligations, including under the recently expanded private right of action in the CPRA. We may not have adequate insurance coverage for security incidents or breaches, including fines, judgments, settlements, penalties, costs, attorney fees and other impacts that arise out of such breaches. We cannot assure you that our cyber liability insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage, or results in changes to our insurance policies (including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements), could have an adverse effect on our business. Our risks are likely to increase as we continue to expand, grow our customer base, and process, increasingly large amounts of sensitive information.

Increasing and changing government regulation of our business may harm our operating results

We are subject to federal, state, local and international laws and regulations that affect our and our customers' activities, including, without limitation, labor, advertising and marketing, tax, financial services, electronic funds transfer, consumer protection, real estate, e-commerce, promotions, intellectual property ownership and infringement, import and export requirements, anti-bribery and anti- corruption, insurance, foreign exchange controls and cash repatriation restrictions, anti-competition, environmental, health and safety, and other regulated activities. There have been significant new regulations and heightened focus by the government on many of these areas. As we

expand our products and services and evolve our business models, we may become subject to additional government regulation or increased regulatory scrutiny. Further, regulators (both in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions in which we operate) may adopt new laws or regulations, change existing regulations, or their interpretation of existing laws or regulations may differ from ours.

In addition, new legislation, regulation, public policy considerations, litigation by the government or private entities, changes to or new interpretations of existing laws may restrict the types of products and services that we can offer or the prices we can charge, or otherwise cause us to change the way we operate our businesses or offer our products and services. We may not be able to respond quickly to such regulatory, legislative and other developments, and these changes may in turn increase our cost of doing business and limit our revenue opportunities. In addition, if our practices are not consistent with new interpretations of existing laws, we may become subject to lawsuits, penalties, and other liabilities that did not previously apply.

Changes in state-imposed requirements by one or more of the states, including the required use of specific technologies or technology standards, may also significantly increase the costs of providing those services to our customers and may prevent us from delivering a quality product to our customers in a timely manner.

Risks Relating to Intellectual Property

Our use of open source software could negatively affect our proprietary technologies and our ability to offer and sell subscriptions to our products and could subject us to possible litigation

Certain of the technologies we currently use incorporate open source software, or OSS, and we expect to continue to utilize OSS in the future. OSS is licensed by its authors under a variety of license types. Some of these licenses (often called “hereditary” or “viral” licenses) contain requirements that could cause us to make available the source code of the modifications or derivative works that we create based upon the licensed OSS, and that we license such modifications or derivative works under the terms of a particular open source license granting third-parties certain rights of further use. By the terms of such open source licenses, we also could be required to release the source code of our proprietary (closed-source) software, and to make our proprietary software available under open source licenses, if we combine and/or distribute our proprietary software with such open source software in a manner that triggers the obligation of the license. We cannot be sure that all OSS and their associated licenses are reviewed prior to use in our proprietary software, that our programmers have not incorporated open source software into our proprietary software in a manner triggering such adverse licensing obligations, or that they will not do so in the future. Additionally, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. or other courts, and these licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our products. We may face claims from others claiming ownership of open source software or patents reading on that software, rights to our intellectual property or breach of open source license terms, including a demand for release of material portions of our source code or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could result in litigation, which could be costly to defend, require us to purchase a costly license (such as a commercial version of an open source license), require us to establish additional specific open source compliance procedures or require us to devote additional research and development resources to remove open source elements from or otherwise change our solutions, any of which would have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects. Any of the foregoing could disrupt and harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property to prevent unauthorized use or appropriation, the value of our brand and other intangible assets, as well as our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects may be adversely affected

We rely and expect to continue to rely on confidentiality and license agreements with our employees, consultants and third-parties, and on trademark, copyright, trade secret and domain name protection laws, to protect our proprietary rights. Third-parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe on or challenge our proprietary rights, and pending and future trademark or other intellectual property applications may not be approved. In addition, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which we operate or intend to operate our business. In these cases, we may expend significant time and expense to prevent infringement and enforce our rights. We cannot assure you that others will not offer services or concepts that are substantially similar to ours and compete with our business. If the protection of our proprietary rights is inadequate to prevent unauthorized use or appropriation, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished and competitors may be able to more effectively mimic our services, business practices or operations, which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock

The market price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, resulting in substantial losses for our investors

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue and results of operations;

•the operating and financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;

•variance in our financial performance from expectations of securities analysts;

•increase or loss of customers;

•fluctuations in product sales mix;

•changes in our pricing strategy or those of our competitors;

•developments in new legislation and pending lawsuits or regulatory actions, including interim or final rulings by judicial or regulatory bodies;

•our involvement in any litigation;

•actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to those of our competitors;

•announcements of technological innovations or new services offered by us or our competitors;

•announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital-raising activities or commitments;

•additions or departures of key personnel;

•actions of securities analysts who initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet these estimates or investor expectations;

•fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;

•technical factors in the public trading market for our common stock that may produce price movements that may or may not comport with macro, industry or company-specific fundamentals, including, without limitation, the sentiment of retail investors (including as may be expressed on financial trading and other social media sites), the amount and status of short interest in our common stock, access to margin debt, and trading in options and other derivatives on our common stock;

•additional shares of our common stock or other securities being sold into the market by us or our existing stockholders or the anticipation of such sales;

•price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;

•other events or factors, including those resulting from war or incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events; and

•general macroeconomic, political, regulatory and market conditions, such as those related to recessionary fears, the current inflationary and rising interest rate environment and the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the market in the near future, which could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock. The holders of approximately 134 million shares of our common stock, are entitled to rights pursuant to an investors’ rights agreement and related agreements, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders. If these holders of our common stock sell a large number of shares by exercising their registration rights, they could adversely affect the market price for our common stock. In addition, if we file a registration statement for the purposes of selling additional shares to raise capital and are required to include shares held by these holders pursuant to the exercise of their registration rights, our ability to raise capital may be impaired.

Concentration of ownership of our common stock among our existing executive officers, directors and principal stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions

Based upon our shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2023, our executive officers, directors and stockholders who owned more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, in the aggregate, beneficially own shares representing approximately 52% of our outstanding common stock. If our executive officers, directors and

stockholders who owned more than 5% of our outstanding common stock acted together, they may be able to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. The concentration of voting power and transfer restrictions could delay or prevent an acquisition of our company on terms that other stockholders may desire or result in the management of our company in ways with which other stockholders disagree.

In addition, pursuant to a director nomination agreement entered into between us and each of (i) LucasZoom, LLC (collectively with its affiliated investment entities, Permira) and (ii) FPLZ I, L.P. and FPLZ II, L.P. (together with FPLZ I, L.P. and their affiliated investment entities, or FP, and together with Permira, the Lead Sponsors), we will have the obligation to support the nomination of, and to cause our board of directors to include in the slate of nominees recommended to our stockholders for election, a number of designees equal to at least: (i) two individuals for so long as each Lead Sponsor continuously beneficially owns shares of common stock representing at least 50% of the shares of common stock owned by such Lead Sponsor immediately following our IPO and (ii) one individual for so long as each Lead Sponsor continuously beneficially owns shares of common stock representing at least 25%, but less than 50% of the shares of common stock, owned by such Lead Sponsor immediately following the completion of our IPO. Each of Permira and FP, and their respective affiliates, may therefore have influence over management and control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the annual election of directors and significant corporate transactions.

Provisions in our corporate charter documents and provisions under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management

Provisions in our corporate charter and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. These provisions also could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Among other things, these provisions:

•establish a classified board of directors such that not all members of the board are elected at one time;

•allow the authorized number of our directors to be changed only by resolution of our board of directors;

•limit the manner in which stockholders can remove directors from the board;

•establish advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals that can be acted on at stockholder meetings and nominations to our board of directors;

•require that stockholder actions must be effected at a duly called stockholder meeting and prohibit actions by our stockholders by written consent;

•limit who may call stockholder meetings;

•authorize our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to institute a stockholder rights plan, or so-called “poison pill,” that would work to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, effectively preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our board of directors; and

•require the approval of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast to amend or repeal certain provisions of our charter or bylaws.

Moreover, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a person who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner. These provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control transaction. They could also have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our common stock, including transactions that may be in your best interests. These provisions may also prevent changes in our management or limit the price that investors are willing to pay for our stock.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the doctrine of “corporate opportunity” will not apply with respect to certain stockholders

The doctrine of corporate opportunity generally provides that a corporate fiduciary may not develop an opportunity using corporate resources, acquire an interest adverse to that of the corporation or acquire property that is reasonably incident to the present or prospective business of the corporation or in which the corporation has a present or expectancy interest, unless that opportunity is first presented to the corporation and the corporation chooses not to pursue that opportunity. The doctrine of corporate opportunity is intended to preclude officers or

directors or other fiduciaries from personally benefiting from opportunities that belong to the corporation. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the doctrine of “corporate opportunity” will not apply with respect to certain parties to our investors’ rights agreement, in each case together with their respective affiliates, and its and their affiliates’ directors, partners, principals, officers, members, managers and/or employees. LucasZoom, LLC, Permira Advisers LLC, FPLZ I, L.P., FPLZ II, L.P., GPI Capital Gemini Holdco, LP, TCV IX, L.P., TCV IX (A), L.P., TCV IX (B), L.P., TCV Member Fund, L.P., TCV IX (A) Opportunities, L.P., Bryant Stibel Growth, LLC and Bryant-Stibel Fund, I LLC or their affiliates will, therefore, have no duty to communicate or present corporate opportunities to us, and will have the right to either hold any corporate opportunity for their (and their affiliates’) own account and benefit or to recommend, assign or otherwise transfer such corporate opportunity to persons other than us. As a result, certain of our stockholders, directors and their respective affiliates will not be prohibited from operating or investing in competing businesses. We, therefore, may find ourselves in competition with certain of our stockholders, directors or their respective affiliates, and we may not have knowledge of, or be able to pursue, transactions that could potentially be beneficial to us. Accordingly, we may lose a corporate opportunity or suffer competitive harm, which could negatively impact our business, operating results, financial condition and future prospects.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) and any appellate court thereof shall be the exclusive forum for certain claims or causes of actions under Delaware statutory or common law.

The provisions would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all such Securities Act actions. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that the federal district courts of the U.S. will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint.

While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. This may require significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.

These exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. If a court were to find either exclusive-forum provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur further significant additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, all of which could seriously harm our business.

General Risk Factors

We maintain cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Adverse developments affecting financial institutions, including bank failures, could adversely affect our liquidity and financial performance.

Adverse developments that affect financial institutions, such as events involving liquidity that are rumored or actual, have in the past and may in the future lead to bank failures and market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, failed and was taken into receivership by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, and on May 1, 2023, the FDIC seized First Republic Bank and sold its assets to JPMorgan Chase & Co. While we have not experienced any adverse impact to our liquidity or to our current and projected business operations, financial condition or results of operations as a result of the matters relating to SVB and First Republic Bank, uncertainty remains over liquidity concerns in the broader financial services industry, and our business may be adversely impacted in ways that we cannot predict at this time.

We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts at banking institutions in the United States that we believe are of high quality. Cash held in these accounts often exceed the FDIC insurance limits. There can be no assurance that our deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits will be backstopped by the U.S. government, or that any bank or financial institution with which we do business will be able to obtain needed liquidity from other banks, government institutions or by acquisition in the event of a failure or liquidity crisis. In the event of failure of any

of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business, liquidity and financial position.

Our business is subject to risks arising from epidemic diseases or pandemics, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic caused economic instability and uncertainty globally, which impacted and, in some cases continues to impact, consumer spending patterns, the success of small businesses and the formation of new small businesses. Since the onset of the pandemic, these factors contributed to variation in our operating results relative to historical and seasonal trends. For example, during its initial phase in the first quarter of 2020, the pandemic had a temporary negative impact on our business as demand for our products and services decreased with the onset of government shelter-in-place directives. By the second quarter of 2020, we began to experience tailwinds from the pandemic as individuals and small businesses turned to online services given the relative inaccessibility of offline alternatives as well as due to the availability of government stimulus checks. These tailwinds subsided in the back half of 2021 due to the easing of government stimulus supporting individuals and small businesses impacted by the pandemic.

In the future, direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future public health pandemic or epidemic may cause significant reductions or volatility in demand for our services, as well as the temporary inability of customers to purchase our products due to illness, quarantine or financial hardship, shifts in demand away from one or more of our products, or decreased consumer confidence and spending, any of which may negatively impact our results, including as a result of an increased difficulty in planning for operations. The fluid nature of epidemic diseases or pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and uncertainties regarding the related economic impact may result in market turmoil, which could also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Purchases of Equity Securities

On March 1, 2022, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock, with no fixed expiration. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through any manner, including open market transactions, accelerated share repurchase agreements, or privately negotiated transactions with third parties, and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of our shares of common stock under this authorization. This program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the discretion of our board of directors.

Stock repurchase activity during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were as follows:


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet be purchased Under the Plans
January 1, 2023 through January 31, 2023	—	$	—	—	$	54,873,781

Item 5. Other Information

Credit Agreement Amendment

We are providing the following disclosure in lieu of filing a Current Report on Form 8-K relating to Item 1.01—Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement of Form 8-K:

On May 5, 2023, LegalZoom.com, Inc., as borrower, the guarantors party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, or the Administrative Agent, entered into Amendment No. 1, or the Amendment, to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2021 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders and issuing lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent. The Amendment replaced the LIBOR interest rate benchmark with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, benchmark, with a 0.10% credit spread adjustment to the SOFR benchmark for all available interest periods. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and some of the lenders party to the Amendment and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, various relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business involving the provision of financial services, including commercial banking, investment banking or other services.

The foregoing description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Amendments to 2022 Equity Grants

We are providing the following disclosure in lieu of filing a Current Report on Form 8-K relating to Item 5.02—Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers of Form 8-K:

On May 5, 2023, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved amendments to (i) the restricted stock units awards granted to the Company’s executive officers in March 2022 (other than Mr. Wernikoff) in August 2022 and (ii) the stock option awards granted to the Company’s executive officers in March 2022. These amendments provide that the vesting of such restricted stock units and stock options will be accelerated upon (i) a qualifying termination that occurs during the change-in-control period or (ii) the executive officer’s termination as a result of his or her death or disability (as each such term is defined in the employment agreement between the Company and applicable executive officer). Further, the amendments provide that such stock options, to the extent vested and outstanding on the date of the executive officer’s qualifying termination or the termination of the executive officer’s employment in the event of his or her death or disability, as applicable and after giving effect to the vesting acceleration, shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of: (x) the original expiration date of the stock options, (y) the one-year anniversary of the date of the executive officer’s termination of employment with the Company, and (z) immediately prior to the effective time of a change in control if such option is not assumed, continued or substituted by the surviving or acquiring entity (or its parent) in connection with such change in control. The amendments, which were not included in the 2022 equity awards at the time of grant due to a clerical error, conform to the Form of RSU Grant Notice and Form of Option Grant Notice for 2023 equity grants to the Company’s executive officers that were previously approved by the compensation committee of the board of directors and are attached to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively.

EXECUTION VERSION [[6071385]] AMENDMENT NO. 1 dated as of May 5, 2023 (this “Amendment”), to the AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of July 2, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among LEGALZOOM.COM, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the other LOAN PARTIES party thereto, the LENDERS and ISSUING LENDERS party thereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). WHEREAS in accordance with the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, including Section 2.11(a)(ii) thereof, the Administrative Agent has determined that the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans; and WHEREAS in accordance with Section 2.11(a)(ii) of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent desire to amend the Credit Agreement in order to replace the LIBO Rate with an alternative rate of interest based on term SOFR and, in connection therewith, to implement certain benchmark replacement conforming changes, in each case as set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: SECTION 1. Interpretation. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein (including in the recitals hereto) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Existing Credit Agreement.

(a) Effective as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, each of the Existing Credit Agreement and Exhibit J to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text or stricken text) and to add the underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: underlined text or double-underlined text) as set forth on Exhibit A and Exhibit B attached hereto, respectively (the Existing Credit Agreement as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Amended Credit Agreement, (i) each LIBOR Loan outstanding on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (each, an “Existing LIBOR Loan”) shall remain outstanding as such until the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Existing LIBOR Loan, in accordance with, and subject to all of the terms and conditions of, the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) interest on each such Existing LIBOR Loan shall continue to accrue to, and shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.9 of the

2 [[6071385]] Existing Credit Agreement. From and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, (x) the Borrower shall not be permitted to request that any Lender fund, and no Lender shall fund, any LIBOR Loan, (y) no Existing LIBOR Loan may be continued as a LIBOR Loan and (z) each Existing LIBOR Loan may be converted to a Term SOFR Loan or a Base Rate Loan (each as defined in the Credit Agreement as amended hereby) in accordance with the Amended Credit Agreement. SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and to each of the Lenders that: (a) This Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. (b) The representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date hereof (other than with respect to any representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date). (c) At the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. SECTION 4. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date first above written (the “Amendment No. 1 Effective Date”) upon satisfaction of the following conditions (but in any event no earlier than the first Business Day following the satisfaction of the condition set forth in paragraph (d) below): (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the Borrower and each other Loan Party; (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment of all fees and expenses required to be paid or reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party under or in connection with this Amendment and any other Loan Document, including those expenses set forth in Section 9 hereof; (c) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 hereof shall be true and correct as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date; and (d) the Administrative Agent shall have provided notice of the replacement of the LIBO Rate with the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate pursuant to this Amendment to the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the date such notice was provided, written notice of objection to this Amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

3 [[6071385]] SECTION 5. Reaffirmation.

4 [[6071385]] 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. SECTION 9. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Amendment to the extent required under Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement. SECTION 10. Headings. The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.

Interest Rates; LIBORBenchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars or an Alternate Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the FCA publicly announced that: immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates ‐72‐ [[5988351]]

announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of circumstances set forth in Section 2.11(a)(i)(A), Section 2.11(a)(ii) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the SONIA Rate, EURIBOR Rate, LIBORAdjusted Term SOFR Rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBORAdjusted Term SOFR Rate”, “EURIBOR Rate” or “SONIA Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto or other rate hereunder, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii), or whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the SONIA Rate, EURIBOR Rate or the LIBORAdjusted Term SOFR Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offeredapplicable existing rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability). The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the SONIA Rate, EURIBOR Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, any alternative rate of interest determined pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii) or any alternative, successor or alternative rate and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. 1.4. Limited Condition Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of: (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement (other than the Financial Covenant) which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Total Net First Lien Leverage Ratio and Total Net Leverage Ratio (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any financial ratio set forth in the definition of Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount); (ii) determining compliance with representations and warranties, or a requirement regarding the absence of Defaults or Events of Default; or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of LTM CEBITDA); in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) on a Pro Forma Basis as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the ‐73‐ [[5988351]]

Borrower would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated CEBITDA or Total Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments, the making of any Permitted Investment, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. 1.5. Calculations; Computations; Latest Maturity Date. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as otherwise permitted under Section 8.1); provided that (A) except as otherwise specifically provided below, all computations of the Applicable Margin, all computations with respect to any basket, standard or term in this Agreement and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with the Financial Covenant and in determining the Total Net First Lien Leverage Ratio and the Total Net Leverage Ratio (collectively, the “Leverage Ratios” and, each, a “Leverage Ratio”), shall utilize GAAP and policies as in effect from time to time, (B) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all such financial statements shall be prepared, and the Financial Covenant and the Leverage Ratios shall be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under any accounting principle permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof and (C) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis. In the event that any Accounting Change (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of any of the computations and definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining any of the items described in clause (A) above, then at the Borrower’s request or at the Administrative Agent’s request (at the direction of the Required Lenders), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to reflect equitably such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made; provided that (i) no amendment fee shall be payable in connection therewith and (ii) all amendments relating to the Leverage Ratios shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Until such time as such an amendment (whether or not such amendment is or was requested by the Borrower) shall have been executed and delivered by the parties hereto in accordance with this Section 1.5, all computations of the Applicable Margin, all computations with respect to any basket, standard or term in this Agreement and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with the Financial Covenant and in determining any Leverage Ratio shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred (other than for ‐74‐ [[5988351]]

purposes of delivery of financial statements under Sections 8.1(a) and (b)).“Accounting Changes” refers to changes in accounting principles (i) required by the FASB or the SEC, (ii) as a result of a proper IFRS Election or (iii) otherwise proposed by the Borrower to, and approved by, the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may elect (the “IFRS Election”), by providing a written notice to the Administrative Agent, in connection with the delivery of financial statements and other information hereunder, to adopt the accounting standards and interpretations (“IFRS”) adopted by the International Accounting Standard Board, as in effect on the first date of the period for which the Borrower is making such election; provided that (a) any such election, once made, shall be irrevocable and (b) from and after the date of the IFRS Election, (i) all financial statements and reports required to be provided after such election pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared on the basis of IFRS, (ii) all ratios, financial definitions, computations and other determinations based on GAAP contained in this Agreement shall be computed in conformity with IFRS, (iii) all references herein to GAAP shall be deemed to be references to IFRS, (iv) all references to the FASB shall be deemed to be references to the IASB and (v) accounting terms not defined in Section 1.1 shall have the respective meanings given to them under IFRS; provided that any such term phrased in a manner customary under GAAP shall be interpreted to refer to the equivalent accounting or financial concept under IFRS and, if there is no such equivalent accounting or financial concept, shall be interpreted in a manner that best approximates the effect that such term would have if it were construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date hereof. (b) All computations of interest, Commitment Fees and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to the “prime rate,” which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and interest calculated by reference to the SONIA Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 days) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Fees or Fees are payable. (c) For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except as provided in Section 1.5(d), where the permissibility of a transaction or determinations of required actions or circumstances depend upon compliance with, or are determined by reference to, amounts stated in Dollars, any requisite currency translation shall be based on the rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, as applicable, to be the rate quoted by the Person acting in such capacity as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of such currency with another currency through its principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately 11:00 A.M. on the date two (2) Business Days prior to the date as of which the foreign exchange computation is made; provided that the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution designated by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender if the Person acting in such capacity does not have as of the date of determination a spot buying rate for any such currency; provided, further, that such Issuing Lender may use such spot rate quoted on the date as of which the foreign exchange computation is made in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency (the “Spot Currency Exchange Rate”); provided that for purposes of determining any Leverage Ratio, such ratios will be determined at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the Borrower’s financial statements corresponding to the Test Period with respect to the applicable date of determination. Any determinations as to the Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency (whether for purposes of calculating the amount of L/C Obligations or fees payable in respect of Letters of Credit or the amount required to be paid to the applicable Issuing Lender in respect of a drawing on a Letter of Credit or otherwise), the amount of fees owing in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency and the amount of Unpaid Drawings owing to such Issuing Lender shall be made by the Administrative Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. ‐75‐ [[5988351]]

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the Spot Currency Exchange Rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that, if such Indebtedness is incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the Spot Currency Exchange Rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Indebtedness so Refinanced does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced plus an amount necessary to pay any fees and expenses, including premiums, related to such Refinancing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being Refinanced, shall be calculated based on the Spot Currency Exchange Rate that is in effect on the date of such Refinancing. (e) With respect to the provisions of this Agreement (A) that require newly incurred or issued Indebtedness or Capital Stock (or Indebtedness or Capital Stock that is proposed to be incurred or issued) to have a maturity not earlier than the Latest Maturity Date or to have Weighted Average Life to Maturity no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of existing Term Loans (including Incremental Term Loans) having the Latest Maturity Date or (B) that otherwise refer to the Latest Maturity Date in respect of any such incurrence or issuance (or proposed incurrence or issuance), such provisions shall be deemed to refer to the Latest Maturity Date in effect at the time of determination. (f) For purposes of determining compliance with any of the covenants set forth in Section 9 and in connection with any Incremental Facility at any time (whether at the time of incurrence or thereafter), any Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Investment, Permitted Investment, Investment, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, Asset Sale or Affiliate transaction meets the criteria of one, or more than one, of the categories permitted pursuant to the applicable covenant set forth in Section 9 and any related definitions or provisions used therein (including in connection with any Incremental Facility), the Borrower (i) shall in its sole discretion determine under which category such Lien (other than Liens with respect to the Revolving Loans), Investment, Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness consisting of the Revolving Loans), Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, Asset Sale or Affiliate transaction (or, in each case, any portion there) is permitted and (ii) shall be permitted to make any such determination or redetermination or classification or reclassification at such time and from time to time as it may determine and without notice to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. (g) If the Borrower Incurs any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock or takes any other action under a ratio-based basket or exception (or component thereof) under this Agreement on the same date that it Incurs Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock or takes any other action under any “fixed,” “freebie” or “starter” basket or exception (or component thereof), compliance with the Total Net First Lien Leverage Ratio, Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio or Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, on a Pro Forma Basis will be calculated with respect to such Incurrence or action, as applicable, under the ratio-based basket or exception (or component thereof) without regard to any Incurrence or action, as applicable, under the “fixed,” “freebie” or “starter” basket or exception (or component thereof). Unless the Borrower elects otherwise, any Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock or other action shall be deemed to have been Incurred or taken, as applicable, first, under the ratio-based basket or exception (or component thereof) and, second, under the “fixed,” “freebie” or “starter” basket or exception (or component thereof). ‐76‐ [[5988351]]

(h) With respect to each dollar basket (including “general” baskets), the Borrower shall be permitted to convert (i) unused Restricted Payment capacity to Junior Indebtedness prepayment capacity and Investment capacity and (ii) Junior Indebtedness prepayment capacity to Investment capacity. (i) For purposes of any provision that permits the incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subject to compliance (or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with the Financial Covenant (including Section 2.15 and Section 9.4(b)(vi) and (xvii)), all Indebtedness incurred in reliance thereon shall be deemed to constitute First Lien Debt for purposes of determining whether such Incurrence and any subsequent Incurrence thereunder is permitted (it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Indebtedness that is not First Lien Debt shall not be deemed to constitute First Lien Debt for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant pursuant to Section 9.1). 1.6. Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any issuing document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the Stated Amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum Stated Amount is in effect at such times. 1.7. Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws), if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person. SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT 2.1. The Commitments. (a) [Reserved]. (b) [Reserved]. (c) Revolving Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, an “Initial Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Initial Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans (i) may be made in Dollars or an Alternate Currency, (ii) subject to Section 2.11(a) and except as provided herein, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as Base Rate Loans, LIBORTerm SOFR Loans or, in the case of Alternate Currency Loans, other Fixed Rate Loans or SONIA Rate Loans, as applicable, or (except in the case of Alternate Currency Loans) converted into Base Rate Loans or LIBORTerm SOFR Loans; provided that (A) except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.11(b), all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type and (B) Base Rate Loans shall only be available in Dollars, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof and (iv) shall not exceed for any such Lender at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which, when added to the product of (x) such Lender’s RL Percentage and (y) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit ‐77‐ [[5988351]]

Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender at such time. (d) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be incurred and maintained as Base Rate Loans, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, (v) shall not be used to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loans and (vi) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1(e), the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists with respect to a Revolving Lender unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements in accordance with Section 2.17 or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Loans (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s RL Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans (such arrangements, the “Swingline Back-Stop Arrangements”), and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders. (e) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Revolving Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.1(f) or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in Section 11), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made promptly upon receipt of such notice (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day and if received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day shall mean no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the immediately succeeding Business Day) by all Revolving Lenders pro rata based on each such Revolving Lender’s RL Percentage and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted ‐78‐ [[5988351]]

for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Revolving Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 11); provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the Overnight Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter. (f) If any new Tranche of Revolving Loans or any new Class of Revolving Loan Commitments is created under (and pursuant to) the terms of this Agreement, all borrowings and mandatory repayments or prepayments (and all participations in Letters of Credit) in respect of such new Tranche or new Class shall be effected on a pro rata basis with existing Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments (in each case, for so long as both are outstanding). 2.2. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Tranche. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowings of Fixed Rate Loans in the aggregate for each Tranche of Loans. 2.3. Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) Fixed Rate Loans hereunder, an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least three (3) Business Days (and in respect of Loans to be funded (i) in Euros, four (4) Business Days and (ii) in any Pounds Sterling or any Alternate Currency other than Dollars or Euros, five (5) Business Days) prior notice of each Fixed Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office notice of each Base Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder on the date of such Borrowing; provided that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such day in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, SONIA Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.11, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit F (or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent)), appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Class of such Loans, (iv) in the case of Revolving Loans, whether such Revolving Loans will be denominated in Dollars or an Alternate Currency (and if an Alternate Currency, which Alternate Currency), (iv) whether any Dollar Denominated Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, LIBORTerm SOFR Loans and, if LIBORTerm SOFR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and (v) in the case of Alternate Currency Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the ‐79‐ [[5988351]]

respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing. (b) (i)Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable, be in such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing. (ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.1(f), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.1(f). (c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error. 2.4. Repayment of Loans. (a) [Reserved]. (b) To the extent not previously paid, (i) each Incremental Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date applicable to such Incremental Term Loan and (ii) each Other Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date of such Other Term Loan set forth in the Refinancing Amendment applicable thereto. (c) The Borrower shall repay all of its outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Loans, to but excluding the date of payment. The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swingline Loans on the Swingline Expiry Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Swingline Loans, to but excluding the date of payment. (d) The Borrower shall repay all of its outstanding (i) Incremental Revolving Loans on the Incremental Revolving Loan Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Incremental Revolving Loans, to but excluding the date of payment and (ii) Other Revolving Loans on the Maturity Date set forth in the Refinancing Amendment applicable thereto, together with accrued and unpaid interest on Other Revolving Loans, to but excluding the date of payment. 2.5. Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) Disbursement of Funds. No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 4:00 P.M. ‐80‐ [[5988351]]

(New York City time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in Section 2.1(e)), each Lender with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.8) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts will be made available in Dollars or an Alternate Currency, as applicable, and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and upon receipt of all requested funds the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower at such account as may be specified in the Notice of Borrowing, or to such other account as the Borrower may specify in writing prior to the Closing Date, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders; provided that if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (other than a Mandatory Borrowing), there are Unpaid Drawings or Swingline Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit, second, to the payment in full of any such Swingline Loans, and third, to the Borrower as otherwise provided above. (b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date and at such time in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (c) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or Issuing Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the appropriate Lenders or Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the appropriate Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to ‐81‐ [[5988351]]

any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (d) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable credit extension set forth in Section 7 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. (e) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to fund participations in Swingline Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to purchase its participation. (f) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. (g) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Obligations then due to such parties. 2.6. Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit H, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) and (ii) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit I, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”). (b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.6 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the ‐82‐ [[5988351]]

security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Loan Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in the preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans. 2.7. Conversions/Continuations. (a) The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Dollar Denominated Loans (other than Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to this Section 2.7) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same Tranche) of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Loan; provided that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(b), LIBORTerm SOFR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of LIBORTerm SOFR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such LIBORTerm SOFR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into LIBORTerm SOFR Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Fixed Rate Loans than is permitted under Section 2.2. (b) Any Fixed Rate Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 2.10, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that to the extent the Required Lenders provide written notice thereof to the Borrower, no Fixed Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans denominated in Dollars shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. (c) Each such conversion or continuation pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least (x) in the case of conversions or continuations of Base Rate Loans into LIBORTerm SOFR Loans, three (3) Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of conversions or continuations of LIBORTerm SOFR Loans into Base Rate Loans, notice on the date of such conversion or continuation (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) executed by an Authorized Officer, in each case in the form of Exhibit J or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted or continued into LIBORTerm SOFR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Dollar Denominated Loans. (d) If by 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Fixed Rate Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (x) if LIBORTerm SOFR Loans, to convert such ‐83‐ [[5988351]]

LIBORTerm SOFR Loans into Base Rate Loans and (y) if Alternate Currency Loans, to select a one-month Interest Period for such Alternate Currency Loans, in each case effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period. 2.8. Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata within each Tranche on the basis of their applicable Revolving Loan Commitments; provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the Revolving Lenders pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder (solely to the extent such Lender is so obligated) regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder. 2.9. Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Dollar Denominated Loan maintained as a Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan pursuant to Section 2.7, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Dollar Denominated Loan maintained as a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such LIBORTerm SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.11, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the LIBORAdjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period. (c) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Alternate Currency Loan (other than SONIA Rate Loans) made to it from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus the applicable Alternate Currency Rate for such Interest Period. (d) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each SONIA Rate Loan made to it from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the SONIA Rate, each as in effect from time to time. (e) Overdue principal shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2.00% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans. All other overdue amounts (including, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest) payable hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2.00% in excess of a rate applicable to Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans from time to time (if such rate were to be applicable under this Agreement). Interest that accrues under this Section 2.9(e) shall be payable on demand. (f) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans of any Tranche, and (z) at maturity (whether by ‐84‐ [[5988351]]

acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, (ii) in respect of each Fixed Rate Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three (3) months, on each date occurring at three (3) month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (iii) in respect of each SONIA Rate Loan, (x) each date that is on the numerically corresponding day in each calendar month that is one month after the Borrowing of such Loan (or, if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such month, then the last day of such month), and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand. (g) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Fixed Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Fixed Rate Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 2.10. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Fixed Rate Loan at or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the making of, or the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to, such Fixed Rate Loan, the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Fixed Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one (1), three (3), six (6) or, to the extent approved by each Lender with Loans or Commitments under the relevant Tranche, twelve (12) month period or any shorter period; provided that (in each case): (A) all Fixed Rate Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period; (B) the initial Interest Period for any Fixed Rate Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Fixed Rate Loan (including, in the case of a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan, the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Fixed Rate Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires; (C) if any Interest Period for a Fixed Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month; (D) if any Interest Period for a Fixed Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that if any Interest Period for a Fixed Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; and (E) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans. 2.11. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. ‐85‐ [[5988351]]

(a) (i) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (A) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent): (A) on any Interest Determination Date or on any date on which a SONIA Rate Loan is outstanding or proposed to be made, that, by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date generally affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of the relevant Fixed Rate (including, without limitation, because the LIBOR ScreenTerm SOFR Reference Rate or EURIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) or SONIA Rate (any such rate, the “Affected Rate” and any Loan bearing interest by reference to the Affected Rate, an “Affected Rate Loan”); or (B) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or SONIA Rate Loan because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the LIBOR Rate or (y) other circumstances arising since the Closing Date affecting such Lender, the interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market (including that the Fixed Rate or the SONIA Rate, as applicable, with respect to such Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such Loan); or (C) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely generally affects the applicable interbank market or the applicable Affected Rate; or (D) at any time that the respective Alternate Currency is not available in sufficient amounts to fund any Borrowing of such Alternate Currency Loans requested pursuant to Section 2.1; then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (A) or (D) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clauses (A) and (D) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (A) above, Affected Rate Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to such Affected Rate Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (x) in the case of clause (B) above, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine after consultation with the Borrower) as shall be required to compensate each Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to each Lender, showing in ‐86‐ [[5988351]]

reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by the Required Lenders shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto), (y) in the case of clause (C) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.11(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law and (z) in the case of clause (D) above, Alternate Currency Loans (exclusive of any such Alternate Currency Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing given by the Borrower with respect to such Alternate Currency Loans which have not been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower. (ii) (A) If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (a) the circumstances set forth in clause (i)(A) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (b) the circumstances set forth in clause (i)(A) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the relevant Affected Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such Affected Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to such Affected Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.12, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (ii) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in the first sentence of this Section 2.11(a), only to the extent the Affected Rate for the applicable currency and, if applicable, such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10 that requests the conversion of any Revolving Loan to, or continuation of any Revolving Loan as, a Fixed Rate Loan shall be ineffective, (y) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Fixed Rate Revolving Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and (z) any request by the Borrower for a Fixed Rate Revolving Loan in Alternate Currency shall be ineffective; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. (b) At any time that any Fixed Rate Loan or SONIA Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.11(a)(i)(B), the Borrower may, and in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.11(a)(i)(C), the Borrower shall, either (x) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan or SONIA Rate Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i)(B) or (C) or (y) if the affected Lender’s Fixed Rate Loan or SONIA Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan, require the affected Lenders to convert such LIBORTerm SOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) in the case of any Fixed Rate Loan (other than a LIBORTerm SOFR Loan) or SONIA Rate Loan, repay all outstanding Borrowings which include such affected Loans in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.1; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.11(b). ‐87‐ [[5988351]]

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Closing Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, liquidity or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency or any change in a Requirement of Law, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lenders or any corporation controlling such Lenders based on the existence of such the Lender’s Commitments hereunder or their obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to Lenders, upon their written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lenders or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lenders or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lenders or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, the Lenders will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.11(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. The Lenders, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.11(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice, except to the extent that such Lender’s failure or delay results in prejudice to the Borrower. (d) In the event that any Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that it is required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law) which have been established by any federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Lenders (including any branch, Affiliate or funding office thereof) in respect of any Alternate Currency Loans or any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Alternate Currency Loan is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lenders to non-United States residents, then, unless such reserves are included in the calculation of the interest rate applicable to such Alternate Currency Loans or in Section 2.11(a)(B), such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against the actual cost of maintaining such reserves (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional amounts) and the Borrower (in the case of Loans owing by it and, in each case, denominated in an Alternate Currency) shall pay to such Lender such specified amounts as additional interest at the time that the Borrower is otherwise required to pay interest in respect of such Alternate Currency Loan or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender. (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Basel III and CRD IV and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall be deemed to be a change after the Closing Date in a Requirement of Law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.11 and Section 3.6); provided that increased costs because of a change in a Requirement of Law resulting from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Basel III and CRD IV may only be requested by the Lenders imposing such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower under syndicated credit facilities comparable to those provided hereunder. ‐88‐ [[5988351]]

(f) This Section 2.11 shall not apply to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (each of which are provided for in Section 5.5) or any Excluded Taxes. 2.12. Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Fixed Rate Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Fixed Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.11(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.1 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its Fixed Rate Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Fixed Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay Fixed Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.11(b). 2.13. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. (a) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation for any amounts under Section 2.11, 2.12 or 3.6, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender if such Lender notifies Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim more than one hundred eighty (180) days after such event; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. (b) Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.11(a)(B) or (C), Section 2.11(c), Section 2.11(d), Section 3.6 or Section 5.5 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 or Letters of Credit affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no legal, regulatory or unreimbursed economic disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.13(b) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.11, 3.6 and 5.5. 2.14. Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.11(a)(B) or (C), Section 2.11(c), Section 2.11(d), Section 3.6 or Section 5.5 with respect to any Lender which results in the Borrower being required to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments with respect to such Lender or such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement that requires (or would require) the consent of all Lenders or each Lender adversely affected thereby under Section 13.12(a) and that has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(a) (a “Proposed Modification”), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.4, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that: ‐89‐ [[5988351]]

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumptions pursuant to Section 13.4 (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.4 to be paid by the Replacement Lender or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall consent to the Proposed Modification, if applicable, and acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case all participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, and any premium applicable to, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender under each Tranche with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there are no Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche, in the case of the replacement of less than all Tranches of Loans then held by the respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 4.1, (y) each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and (ii) all obligations of any Loan Party then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those (a) specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.12 or Section 5.1(b) or (b) relating to any Tranche of Loans or Commitments of the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Replaced Lender shall execute an Assignment and Assumption within two (2) Business Days of the date on which the Replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Replaced Lender (or such executed Assignment and Assumption is delivered by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Replacement Lender). If such Replaced Lender does not execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption within such two (2) Business Day period, then such Replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of such Lender and the Assignment and Assumption so executed by such Replacement Lender shall be effective for the purposes of this Section 2.14 and Section 13.4. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.11, 2.12, 3.6, 5.5, 12.6, 13.1 and 13.6), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (y) the RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement. 2.15. Incremental Credit Extensions. ‐90‐ [[5988351]]

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, (i) request one or more additional tranches of term loans or one or more increases to an existing tranche of Term Loans (the commitments thereof, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments,” the loans thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans” and a Lender making such loans, an “Incremental Term Lender”) or (ii) (A) request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments (any such increase, a “Revolving Loan Commitment Increase”) or (B) subject to Section 2.1(f), the establishment of one or more new Revolving Loan Commitments (any such new commitment, a “New Revolving Loan Commitment” and, together with Revolving Loan Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments” and, such loans thereunder, the “Incremental Revolving Loans” and, a Lender making such a commitment, an “Incremental Revolving Lender”); provided that: (i) the aggregate amount of Incremental Facilities Incurred during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount; (ii) the Incremental Facilities will not be guaranteed by any person that is not a Guarantor or secured by any asset that is not Collateral (except the Collateral Exclusions); (iii) no Event of Default (or, in the case of a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder, no Significant Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing or would exist after giving effect thereto; (iv) at the time that any Incremental Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto), the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects), except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects); provided that if the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are intended to be used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder, in each case that is a Limited Condition Transaction, then the requirements set forth in this clause (iv) may be limited by the applicable Incremental Lenders to the Specified Representations; (v) Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments may be denominated in any Available Currency (it being understood that any such Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment may be utilized in Available Currencies as and to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental Amendment); (vi) Incremental Facilities shall rank no greater than pari passu in right of payment and no greater than pari passu in right of security with the Revolving Loans; provided that any Incremental Facility that is secured by the Collateral on a junior basis to the Obligations or that is set forth in an Incremental Agreement shall be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement; (vii) other than Customary Bridge Facilities and the Permitted Earlier Maturity Indebtedness Exception, Incremental Loans shall not mature prior to the Latest Maturity Date of all Classes of Commitments and Loans then in effect and, other than customary term loan A and term loan B facilities (provided that with respect to any such term loan A facilities the annual amortization thereunder shall not exceed 10%) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Permitted WAL Exception, Customary Bridge Facilities and the Permitted Earlier Maturity ‐91‐ [[5988351]]

Indebtedness Exception, Incremental Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of all Classes of Commitments and Loans then in effect; (viii) subject to clause (vii) above, (A) the amortization schedule applicable to any such Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders and (B) no such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment shall have amortization or scheduled mandatory commitment reductions (other than at the maturity thereof); (ix) except to the extent permitted by clauses (v), (vii) and (viii) above and clauses (x) and (xi) below, all terms and documentation with respect to any Incremental Facility (excluding any terms (x) applicable after the Latest Maturity Date or (y) that are also made for the benefit of the Lenders shall (I) be substantially identical to, or no more favorable (taken as a whole) to the lenders providing such Incremental Facility than those contained in this Agreement, (II) be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or (III) in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans, be on customary market terms (as determined by the Borrower in good faith); provided that the terms of any such Incremental Facility shall not provide for any financial covenant unless such covenant shall also apply for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders; (x) the all-in yield applicable to the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments made hereunder shall be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders or the Incremental Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (xi) any Incremental Facility may provide for the ability to participate (x) with respect to any voluntary prepayments, on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with the applicable Facility and (y) with respect to any mandatory prepayments, on a pro rata basis (solely for Incremental Facilities that are secured by a lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the lien securing the initial Facilities) or less than pro rata basis with the applicable Facility (and on a greater than pro rata basis with respect to (I) any such Incremental Facility incurred pursuant to the Permitted Earlier Maturity Indebtedness Exception or (II) prepayments of any such Incremental Facility with the proceeds of Refinancing Debt (as defined below)); and (xii) the Borrower may appoint any Person (or Persons) to arrange any Incremental Facility and provide such arranger (or arrangers) any titles to such Incremental Facility as it deems appropriate. (b) [Reserved]. (c) Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments may be provided, by any existing Lender or any Additional Lender (provided that no Lender shall be obligated to make all or a portion of any Incremental Term Loan or to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment), in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.15; provided that the Administrative Agent and, in respect any Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 13.4 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Loan Commitment Increase elected to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Loan Commitment) ‐92‐ [[5988351]]

under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, and each Additional Lender, if any; provided that the Administrative Agent shall receive prior written notice of such Incremental Amendment. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15, including amendments to Sections 2.4(a) and 5.1(b) that do not adversely affect the Lenders. The Borrower may agree with the Issuing Lenders to increase the sublimit for Letters of Credit in Section 3.2 and may agree with the Swingline Lender to increase the Maximum Swingline Amount, in connection with Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments. The Borrower may use the proceeds of Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. (d) Upon each increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment Increase (each, a “Revolving Loan Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Loan Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Revolving Loan Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment represented by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Loan Commitment Increase either be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder or assigned to a Revolving Loan Commitment Increase Lender (in each case, reflecting such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments, such that Revolving Loans are held ratably in accordance with each Revolving Lender’s pro rata share, after giving effect to such increase), which prepayment or assignment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence; provided that any existing Revolving Lender electing not to provide a Revolving Loan Commitment Increase shall not be required to fund amounts in an Alternate Currency in excess of such amounts it would otherwise be required to fund by virtue of the immediately preceding sentence. (e) This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.8 or 13.12 to the extent they conflict with this Section 2.15. 2.16. Loan Modification Offers. (a) The Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes on the same terms to each such Lender (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, a “Specified Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; provided that (i) any such offer shall be made by the Borrower to all Lenders with Loans with a like maturity date (whether under one or more tranches) on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loans), (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of any such offer, (iii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the ‐93‐ [[5988351]]

Borrower and (iv) in the case of any Permitted Amendment relating to the Revolving Loan Commitments, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender shall have approved such Permitted Amendment. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than thirty (30) Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, assignments and participations of Specified Classes shall be governed by the same or, at the Borrower’s discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions applicable to Loans set forth in Section 13.4. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Specified Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Specified Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. No Lender shall have any obligation to accept any Loan Modification Offer. (b) A Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) executed and delivered by the Borrower, each applicable Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. No Loan Modification Agreement shall provide for any extension of a Specified Class in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $5,000,000. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.16, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of loans or commitments hereunder; provided that no Loan Modification Agreement may provide for (i) any Specified Class to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the Loans and (ii) so long as any Loans are outstanding, any mandatory prepayment provisions that do not also apply to all the Loans on a pro rata basis; provided, further, that in the case of any Loan Modification Offer relating to Revolving Loan Commitments or Revolving Loans, except as otherwise agreed to by each Issuing Lender, (i) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued Letter of Credit as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the remaining Revolving Loan Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the remaining Revolving Loan Commitments, (ii) any new “Class” of commitments and the remaining Revolving Loan Commitments shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(f) and (iii) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date may not be extended without the prior written consent of each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender. (c) Subject to Section 2.16(b), the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Loan Modification Agreement that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Loan Modification Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Loans of any or all applicable Classes be extended. (d) This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.8 or 13.12 to the contrary. 2.17. Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender: ‐94‐ [[5988351]]

(a) if any Swingline Loans are outstanding or any Letter of Credit Outstandings exist at the time when a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: (i) all or any part of the participating risk in such Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective RL Percentage but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Revolving Extensions of Credit of all Revolving Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders does not exceed the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loan Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders, (y) immediately following the reallocation to a Revolving Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Revolving Lender do not exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment at such time and (z) the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 are satisfied at such time; (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swingline Loans and (y) second, Collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender such Defaulting Lender’s RL Percentage of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such Letter of Credit Outstandings exist; (iii) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s RL Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings; (iv) if the participating risk in Letter of Credit Outstandings of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.17(a), then the Letter of Credit Fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 4.1(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentages; and (v) if any Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings is neither Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.17(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s RL Percentage of Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be payable to each Issuing Lender until such portion of such Letter of Credit Outstandings is Collateralized or reallocated. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.1(d) or Section 3, so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the related exposure will be 100.00% covered by the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or collateral has been provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(a), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among Revolving Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(a) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). (c) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all ‐95‐ [[5988351]]

matters that caused such Revolving Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) the risk participations in Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its RL Percentage and (ii) so long as no Event of Default then exists, all funds held as Cash Collateral pursuant to the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrower. If the Revolving Loan Commitments have been terminated, all other Obligations have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit are outstanding, then, so long as no Event of Default then exists, all funds held as Cash Collateral pursuant to the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements and the Swingline Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrower. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.2 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.17(a)(ii); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.17(a)(ii); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, each Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 were satisfied and waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters ‐96‐ [[5988351]]

of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(i). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(d)(i) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (ii) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or (b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender); provided that such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Section 4.1(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to its pro rata share of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.17(a). (iii) With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(i), (y) pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to each Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. (e) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(i)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. 2.18. Refinancing Amendment. (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt in respect of (a) all or any portion of any Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (b) all or any portion of the Revolving ‐97‐ [[5988351]]

Loans (or unused Revolving Loan Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (b) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Commitments), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 7.1. Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to any Other Revolving Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit under the Revolving Loan Commitments and subject to the approval of the Issuing Lenders. (b) 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 to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt 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 or Other Term Commitments). (c) Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement (or effect a replacement of any Intercreditor Agreement) and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of the Issuing Lenders, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Loans Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding revolving commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such revolving commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.8 and 13.12 to the contrary and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend Section 2.8 to implement any Refinancing Amendment. SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT 3.1. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and before sixty (60) days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of (x) any Person, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers of goods to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form ‐98‐ [[5988351]]

customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”); provided that Jefferies Finance LLC shall only be required to issue standby Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. dollars and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Barclays Bank PLC and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. shall only be required to issue standby Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or an Alternate Currency. (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the 60th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default; provided that: (i) no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance, unless each of the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date or such Letter of Credit shall have been Collateralized or otherwise backstopped in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender; (B) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it; (C) such Issuing Lender shall have received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the third sentence of Section 3.3(b); (D) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally; (E) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternate Currency; (F) in any instance in which a Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, after giving effect to any automatic reallocation to cover such Defaulting Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.17(a)(i), such Fronting Exposure is not eliminated; or (G) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder; ‐99‐ [[5988351]]

(ii) no Issuing Lender shall amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuing Lender would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof; (iii) no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit; and (iv) each Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 12 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Lender 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 12 included such Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Lender. 3.2. Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed either (x) $20,000,000 (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof) (the “L/C Sublimit”) or (y) when added to the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time; provided that if at any time following one or more fluctuations in the Spot Currency Exchange Rate of any Alternate Currency against the Dollar at any Revaluation Date, the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit would cause the Letter of Credit Outstandings to exceed the amounts set forth in subclauses (x) or (y) above, respectively, then (A) if such excess is in an aggregate amount that is greater than or equal to $500,000, within two (2) Business Days of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, (B) if such excess is an aggregate amount that is less than $500,000 and such excess continues to exist in an aggregate amount less than $500,000 for at least five (5) Business Days, within two (2) Business Days of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, or (C) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall immediately (1) make the necessary payments or repayments to reduce the applicable Obligations to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (2) Collateralize such Letters of Credit to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess (which Cash Collateral shall, unless the applicable Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent shall have requested that such Cash Collateral be provided in Dollars, be denominated in the currency of the applicable Letter of Credit); provided further that, if the Borrower provides Cash Collateral in Dollars to secure obligations related to Letters of Credit that are denominated in an Alternate Currency and, as a result of fluctuations in the applicable Spot Currency Exchange Rate between Dollars and such Alternate Currency, the Cash Collateral held by the Administrative Agent is less than the specified amount of Cash Collateral so required to be maintained by the Borrower, the Borrower shall, promptly following a request therefor by the Administrative Agent, deposit additional Cash Collateral equal to such shortfall to be held as Cash Collateral; (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue Letters of Credit with an aggregate Stated Amount in excess of such Issuing Lender’s pro rata share of the L/C Sublimit, determined in accordance the respective Revolving Loan Commitments of each Revolving Lender on the Closing Date as set forth on Schedule I; and (iii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (x) the date which occurs twelve (12) months after the date of the issuance thereof or such later date as may be acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender (although any such standby Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of ‐100‐ [[5988351]]

up to twelve (12) months or such later date as may be acceptable to such Issuing Lender, but, in each case, not beyond the third Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to such Issuing Lender) and (y) three (3) Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. 3.3. Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender (prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time)) at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) (including by way of facsimile or other electronic means, including pdf) written notice thereof. Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit K, appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”). (b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.2. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 7.2 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.2, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the L/C Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment (and if such notification relates to the issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, such notice will include the Dollar Equivalent of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit). On the first Business Day of each month, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Lender Default exists with respect to any Revolving Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by Collateralizing each Defaulting Lender’s RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Letters of Credit (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”). (c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 (or, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof) or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender. 3.4. Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each L/C Participant, and each L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such L/C Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or ‐101‐ [[5988351]]

guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14 or 13.4, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.4 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be. (b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). (c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.5(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such failure, and each L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such L/C Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars (or, in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, such Alternate Currency) and in Same Day Funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (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 respective Issuing Lender in Dollars (or, in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, such Alternate Currency) such L/C Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in Same Day Funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to respective Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the Overnight Rate for the first three (3) days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any 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 such Issuing Lender such other L/C Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment. (d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such L/C Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars (or, in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, such Alternate Currency) and in Same Day 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 principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations. ‐102‐ [[5988351]]

(e) Upon the request of any L/C Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such L/C Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such L/C Participant. (f) The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments; (B) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries 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, any L/C Participant, or any 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 or any Subsidiary and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit); (C) 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; (D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or (E) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 3.5. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than (x) one (1) Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement if such notice is received on or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) or (y) two (2) Business Days following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement if such notice is received after 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if an Event of Default under Section 11.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date that is three (3) Business Days following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.1(f), interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as ‐103‐ [[5988351]]

in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2.00%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it; provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender in such Alternate Currency, unless (x) such Issuing Lender (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (y) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified such Issuing Lender promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse such Issuing Lender in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing as of the applicable Revaluation Date under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, the relevant Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. (b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.5 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, including the following: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (iv) waiver by the relevant Issuing Lender of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Lender’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by the relevant Issuing Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower; (v) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; (vi) any payment made by the relevant Issuing Lender in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; (vii) any payment by the relevant Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of ‐104‐ [[5988351]]

creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (viii) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternate Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). 3.6. Increased Costs. If at any time after the Closing Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or liquidity or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any L/C Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant any cost or other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit, then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by any Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.6, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower. This Section 3.6 shall not apply to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (each of which are provided for in Section 5.5) or any Excluded Taxes. 3.7. Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant Issuing Lender 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 UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Lender shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and no Issuing Lender’s rights or remedies against the Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any ‐105‐ [[5988351]]

Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Requirement of Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice. SECTION 4. COMMITMENT FEES; FEES; REDUCTIONS OF COMMITMENTS 4.1. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to and including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to 0.35% of the daily Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in respect of such Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment as in effect from time to time (“Commitment Fees”). From and after the delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of financial statements required by Section 8.1(a) or (b), as applicable, for the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, the Commitment Fees shall be reduced to a rate per annum equal to 0.25% of the daily Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment if the Total Net First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated. For purposes of computing Commitment Fees only, outstanding Swingline Loans shall not count as a utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments and shall otherwise be disregarded. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender (based on each such Revolving Lender’s respective RL Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such period with respect to Revolving Loans that are maintained as LIBORTerm SOFR Loans on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding. (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% or such other amount as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding. (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it, such amount as shall at ‐106‐ [[5988351]]

the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit. (e) [Reserved]. (f) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, all amounts owing under the Fee Letter). 4.2. Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments. (a) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part, pursuant to this Section 4.2(a), in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in the case of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the applicable Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender. If such notice of termination indicates that such termination is being made in connection with a Refinancing of the Facility or in the context of a transaction involving a Change of Control or other contingent transaction, such notice of termination may be revoked if such Refinancing or transaction is not consummated, subject to payment of any costs referred to in Section 2.12 resulting therefrom. (b) In the event of the refusal by a Lender to consent to a Proposed Modification with respect to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments, the Borrower shall have the right upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender (but not any other Commitments or Loans of such Lender that are not proposed to be modified by such Proposed Modification), so long as all Revolving Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.12) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is Collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Loans or commitments in respect of Loans hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.11, 2.12, 3.6, 5.5, 12.6, 13.1 and 13.6), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender. 4.3. Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. The Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall terminate in its entirety on, as applicable, (i) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the Incremental Revolving Loan Maturity Date or (iii) the Maturity Date for any Other Revolving Loan set forth in the Refinancing Amendment applicable thereto. Each reduction to, or termination of, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be applied to proportionately reduce or terminate, as the case may be, the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment. ‐107‐ [[5988351]]

SECTION 5. PREPAYMENTS; PAYMENTS; TAXES 5.1. Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, in each case, without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of Section 5.1(b), upon notice, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior thereto (and with respect to any Alternate Currency Loan (other than SONIA Rate Loans), four (4) Business Days prior thereto, and with respect to any SONIA Rate Loans, five (5) Business Days prior thereto), in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, and no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such payment, in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Fixed Rate Loans, SONIA Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided that if a Fixed Rate Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.12; provided, further, that if such notice of prepayment indicates that such prepayment is to be funded with the proceeds of a Refinancing of the Facility or in the context of a transaction involving a Change of Control or other contingent transaction, such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such Refinancing or transaction is not consummated, subject to payment of any costs referred to in Section 2.12. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Swingline Loans (other than in connection with a repayment of all Loans)) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Prepayments shall be accompanied by Prepayment Fees required by Section 5.1(b), if any, and accrued interest. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (or, in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and integral multiples of $100,000 (or, in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof) in excess of that amount. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 and in integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of that amount. (b) [Reserved]. (c) In the event of the refusal by a Lender to consent to a Proposed Modification with respect to such Lender’s Revolving Loans, the Borrower may, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all such Revolving Loans (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any other Loans (or Tranches) of such Lender that are not proposed to be modified by such Proposed Modification), including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender so long as in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (c), (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.2(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (y) such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is Collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders. 5.2. [Reserved]. 5.3. Repayment of Revolving Excess, etc. In the event the aggregate amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding (calculated, in the case of Revolving Loans and ‐108‐ [[5988351]]

L/C Obligations denominated in an Alternate Currency, at the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and outstanding Swingline Loans exceeds (the “Revolving Excess”) the Total Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately repay Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans and Collateralize Letters of Credit, as applicable, to the extent necessary to remove such Revolving Excess; provided that if such Revolving Excess results from fluctuations in the Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency and such Revolving Excess exceeds 5.00% of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments at such time, such obligation to repay Loans and Collateralize Letters of Credit shall not be effective until five (5) Business Days after the date such Revolving Excess first commenced in an amount greater than 5.0% of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments (and shall not be required to the extent such Revolving Excess has ceased to exist as a result of fluctuations in currency values). 5.4. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars (or, in respect of Obligations denominated in an Alternate Currency, in such Alternate Currency) in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its pro rata share in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s lending office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) may in the Administrative Agent’s discretion be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (provided that payments stated to be due on any Maturity Date, if stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, shall be deemed to be due on the next preceding Business Day) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension. 5.5. Net Payments. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes with respect to such payments, unless required by applicable law. If any such Taxes are so levied or imposed, the applicable withholding agent shall pay, or withhold and remit, to the applicable Governmental Authority the full amount of such Taxes, and if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or an Other Tax, the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that, after any required deductions or withholdings have been made (including any deductions or withholdings attributable to any payments required to be made under this Section 5.5) each Lender (or in the case of a payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, such Administrative Agent) receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes not been levied or imposed. The Borrower or Guarantors, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent within forty-five (45) days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment by the Borrower or Guarantor. The Borrower or Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and to reimburse such Person upon its written request within twenty (20) days of demand therefor, for the amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Person (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.5), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted; provided that if the Administrative Agent or any Lender requests indemnification more than 90 days after the ‐109‐ [[5988351]]

earlier of (1) the date on which the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender received written demand for payment of the applicable Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from the relevant Governmental Authority or (2) the date on which the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender paid the applicable Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender shall not be indemnified to the extent that such failure or delay results in prejudice to the Borrower or a Guarantor. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability and the manner in which such amount was determined, prepared in good faith and delivered by the Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.5(c), each Lender (1) that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each, a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable: (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor forms), (ii) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 (any such Exhibit L certificate, a “Non-Bank Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form), (iv) to the extent that a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor form) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or other documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, that would be required under this Section 5.5(b) if such beneficial owner were a Lender; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 (in lieu of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3) on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner(s), and (v) two accurate and complete original signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury regulations) as a basis for claiming complete exemption from, or reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under any Loan Document or (2) that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying to such Lender’s exemption from United States federal backup withholding. The Administrative Agent shall provide to the Borrower two accurate and complete original signed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (1) if the Administrative Agent is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying to such Administrative Agent’s exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding or (2) if the Administrative Agent is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI with respect to payments received for its own account and (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (together with all required accompanying documentation) assuming primary responsibility for U.S. federal income tax withholding with respect to payments received by it on behalf of the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.5(b), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change in Tax Law after the Closing Date. ‐110‐ [[5988351]]

(c) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in any applicable withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then such Lender agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect (including the Internal Revenue Service forms and certificates described in Section 5.5(b)), it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal ineligibility to deliver any such documentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.5(b), (c) or (d), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. (d) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 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 FATCA obligations, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s FATCA obligations and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 5.5(d), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments thereof or successor provisions thereto. (e) If the Borrower or any Guarantor pays any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes under this Section 5.5 to a Lender or the Administrative Agent and such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion (exercised reasonably) that it has actually received any refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of which it has received additional payments under this Section 5.5 (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, an amount of such Tax Benefit, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such Tax Benefit) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority); provided, however, that (i) any Lender or the Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with its policies, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of a disallowance or reduction of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has made a payment to the Borrower or a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.5(e) (and any interest or penalties or other charges imposed thereon) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is obligated to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.5 without any exclusions or defenses; (iii) nothing in this Section 5.5(e) shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower or any Guarantor (including, without limitation, its Tax returns) or any other Person; and (iv) no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 5.5(e) at any time which a Default or Event of Default exists (provided that such amounts shall be credited against amounts otherwise owed under this Agreement by the Borrower or any Guarantor). ‐111‐ [[5988351]]

(f) If one or more Guarantors hereunder are required to make any payment with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations that would be subject to any withholding of Tax (whether or not it would result in any Loan Party being required to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments under this Agreement), the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith in order to eliminate or minimize the effects of such withholding of Tax; provided that none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be required to take any action that would subject it to any unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to it. (g) In addition to the payments by a Loan Party required by Section 5.5(a) (and without duplication thereof), the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (h) For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 5.5, include any Issuing Lender. SECTION 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender on the Closing Date and on each date on which any extension of credit is made (excluding any date on which a Fixed Rate Loan is continued pursuant to Section 2.7) that: 6.1.

All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).

Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Subject to any matters which are set out as qualifications or reservations as to matters of law of general application in the legal opinions provided pursuant to Section 7.1(f), each Loan Party has the power, capacity and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational or corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to authorize the other Transactions. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, examinership, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 6.5. Consents. No Governmental Approval or consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) Governmental Approvals, consents, authorizations, filings and notices that have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 6.19. No Governmental Approval or consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any other Person is required in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (excluding the Loan Documents), except (i) Governmental Approvals, consents, authorizations, filings and notices that have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 6.19 and (iii) those, the failure of which to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 6.6. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any material Requirement of Law, any Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party that is material to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Organizational Documents of any Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on ‐113‐ [[5988351]]

any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law, any such Organizational Documents or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). The consummation of the Transactions (excluding the Loan Documents) will not (a) violate (x) any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (y) the Organizational Documents of any Loan Party and (b) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law, any such Organizational Documents or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). 6.7. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened by or against any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary or against any of their respective properties, assets or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 6.8. No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 6.9. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all Real Property necessary in the ordinary conduct of its business, free and clear of all Liens except for minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to utilize such assets for their intended purposes and Liens permitted by Section 9.7 and except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 6.10. Intellectual Property. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Loan Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries own, or are licensed to use, all Intellectual Property used in the conduct of the business (which shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, Intellectual Property that the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries license to their customers) of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as currently conducted. No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning any use by any Loan Party or by a Restricted Subsidiary of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property of any Loan Party or of any Restricted Subsidiary or alleging that the conduct of business by any Loan Party or by any Restricted Subsidiary infringes or violates the rights of any Person, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim, except for such claims or allegations that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the operations of the business conducted by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 6.11. Taxes. Each Restricted Subsidiary and each Loan Party has filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes due and payable (including in its capacity as a withholding agent), whether or not shown on such returns, and any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other Taxes imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any such Taxes the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Restricted Subsidiary or Loan Party) except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Tax assessment, deficiency or other claim has been filed, and, to the knowledge of any of the Loan Parties, is being threatened in writing, with respect to any Taxes that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. ‐114‐ [[5988351]]

6.12. Federal Regulations. No Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock, and no part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation U or X of the Board. 6.13. Labor Matters. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable. 6.14. ERISA. (a) Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in Material Adverse Effect, (i) neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to meet the minimum funding standards of Section 412 or 430 of the Code or Section 302 or 303 of ERISA has occurred with respect to any Single Employer Plan or Multiemployer Plan during the six-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, (ii) no Plan has applied for or received a waiver of the minimum funding standard or an extension of any amortization period within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 or 304 of ERISA, (iii) each Plan has complied and is in compliance in form and operation with its terms and with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code (including without limitation the Code provisions compliance with which is necessary for any intended favorable tax treatment) and all other applicable laws and regulations, except where any failure to comply would not reasonably be excepted to result in any material liability, (iv) no determination has been made that any Plan is, or is expected to be, considered an at-risk plan within the meaning of Section 430 of the Code or Section 303 of ERISA, (v) all contributions required to have been made with respect to a Plan have been timely made or have been reflected on the most recent consolidated balance sheet filed prior to the Closing Date or accrued in the accounting records of the Borrower and (vi) no termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, no proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Single Employer Plan, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen. There exists no material Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to any Single Employer Plan in excess of $20,000,000. None of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and none of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower, any such Restricted Subsidiary or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. To the knowledge of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Commonly Controlled Entity, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no such Multiemployer Plan is Insolvent and none of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Commonly Controlled Entity has received any notice, and no Multiemployer Plan has received from the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Commonly Controlled Entity any notice that a Multiemployer Plan is in endangered or critical status under Section 305 of ERISA. None of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Commonly Controlled Entity has engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA with respect to a Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in material liability, and none of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary ‐115‐ [[5988351]]

nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has incurred any material liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA), except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. (b) In respect of each Plan (other than a Non-U.S. Plan), there are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Commonly Controlled Entity, threatened, which would reasonably be expected to be asserted successfully against any Plan and, if so asserted successfully, would reasonably be expected either singly or in the aggregate to result in a Material Adverse Effect. (c) Each Non-U.S. Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except as would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, all material contributions required to have been made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to a Non U.S. Plan have been timely made. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Non-U.S. Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not materially exceed the current value of the assets of such Non-U.S. Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. (d) The Borrower represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that the Borrower is not and will not be using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments. 6.15. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company” as such quoted term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. 6.16. Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the Transactions, Schedule 6.16 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of organization of each Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party. 6.17. Environmental Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been released, generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under, or disposed or transported from, any real properties currently owned, leased or operated by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary (the “Properties”), or, during the period of ownership, lease or operation by any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary, any Real Property formerly owned, leased or operated by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, in violation of, or in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law; (b) (i) no judicial proceeding, governmental or administrative action, or notice of violation is pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened, under any Environmental ‐116‐ [[5988351]]

Law to which any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the business operated by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary (collectively, “Environmental Proceedings”); (ii) there are no consent decrees, consent orders, administrative orders, or other orders or decrees outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the business operated by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary (collectively, “Environmental Orders”); and (iii) to the knowledge of any Loan Party, there are no past or present actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents with respect to the Properties or the business operated by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, including, without limitation, the release, emission, discharge, presence or disposal of any Materials of Environmental Concern, that could form the basis of any such Environmental Proceeding or Environmental Order against any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary or against any person or entity whose liability for any such Environmental Proceeding or Environmental Order any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary has retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law; and (c) the Properties and all operations by any Loan Party and any Restricted Subsidiary are and have been in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. 6.18. Accuracy of Information, etc. No written statement or information (other than the projections specified below and information of a general economic or general industry nature) concerning any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information, taken as a whole, contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made and as of the Closing Date (with respect to such projections and pro forma financial information delivered prior to the Closing Date), it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact, forecasts and projections are subject to uncertainties and contingencies, actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount and no assurance can be given that any forecast or projections will be realized. As of the Closing Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all material respects. 6.19. Security Documents. Subject to any matters which are set out as qualifications or reservations as to matters of law of general application in the legal opinions provided pursuant to Section 7.1(f), each of the Security Documents is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of (i) the Capital Stock described in the Security Agreement that are securities represented by stock certificates or otherwise constituting certificated securities within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(15) of the UCC (the “Certificated Securities”), when certificates representing such Capital Stock are delivered to the Collateral Agent (provided that, in the case of an issuer of such Certificated Securities that is located in a jurisdiction outside the United States, applicable law provides for perfection of a Lien on such Certificated Securities by delivery of such Certificated Securities to a Secured Party), and (ii) the other Collateral not described in clause (i) constituting personal property described in the Security Agreement, when financing statements and other filings, agreements and actions specified on Schedule 6.19(a) in appropriate form are executed and delivered, performed or filed in the offices specified on Schedule 6.19(a), as the case may be, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and ‐117‐ [[5988351]]

interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Permitted Liens). Other than as set forth on Schedule 6.19(a), as of the Closing Date, none of the Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a limited liability company or partnership (organized under the laws of a jurisdiction in the United States) is a Certificated Security. 6.20. Solvency. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, are, and after giving effect to the Transactions and the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will be, Solvent. 6.21. Patriot Act; FCPA; OFAC; Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. (a) To the extent applicable, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act. (b) No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, any other applicable Anti-Corruption Laws. (c) The Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with applicable Sanctions, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and other applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, and the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, their employees and agents, are in compliance in all material respects with applicable Sanctions, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and other applicable Anti-Corruption Laws. None of (a) the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the Borrower, any agent, or other representative of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, is a Sanctioned Person, nor is Borrower or any Subsidiary located, organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country. (d) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries and, to their knowledge, none of their respective agents is any of the following: (i) a Person that is listed in the annex to, or is otherwise the subject of the provisions of, Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing effective September 24, 2001 (the “Executive Order”); (ii) a Person owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, any Person that is listed in the annex to, or is otherwise the subject of the provisions of, the Executive Order; (iii) a Person with which any Lender is prohibited from dealing or otherwise engaging in any transaction by any laws with respect to terrorism or money laundering; or (iv) a Person that is named as a “specially designated national and blocked person” on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Asset Control ‐118‐ [[5988351]]

(“OFAC”) at its official website or any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list. 6.22. Status as Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations under the Facilities constitute “senior debt,” “senior indebtedness,” “guarantor senior debt,” “senior secured financing” and “designated senior indebtedness” (or any comparable term) for all Junior Indebtedness.

Modifications of Certain Documents. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to: (a) terminate, amend or modify any Organizational Documents of any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary (including (x) by the filing or modification of any certificate of designation and (y) any election to treat any Certificated Securities as a “security” under Section 8-103 of the UCC other than with the delivery of certificates representing such Certificated Securities to the Collateral Agent within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree)) other than any such amendments or modifications that are not materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders; or (b) amend or modify, or permit the amendment or modification of, the terms of any Junior Indebtedness in a manner materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders. 9.10.

such arrangements shall be required to be described on Schedule 9.12 only to the extent that such arrangements exceed $5,000,000), (g) restrictions under agreements evidencing or governing or otherwise relating to Indebtedness of Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are not Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 9.4; provided that such Indebtedness is only with respect to the assets of Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are not Subsidiary Guarantors, (h) customary provisions in joint venture agreements, limited liability company operating agreements, partnership agreements, stockholders agreements and other similar agreements, (i) agreements evidencing or governing Indebtedness permitted under Sections 9.4(b)(iii), (b)(iv), (b)(v), (b)(vi), (b)(xv), (b)(xvii), (b)(xxi), (b)(xxii), i)(xxiv), (b)(xxv), and (b)(xxxvii) and any Refinancing of any such Indebtedness, and (j) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries; or (c) permit to exist any Lien on any of its owned or leased Real Property, except for any Permitted Lien described in clause (b), (c), (d)(x), (e), (f), (h), (i), (n), (o), (p), (r), (ii), (jj), (nn) or (oo) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”. 9.13.

SECTION 10. GUARANTEE 10.1. The Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not as a surety, to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of (1) the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law of any other jurisdiction) on (i) the Loans made by the Lenders, (ii) the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Revolving Loans made by the Incremental Term Lenders and the Incremental Revolving Lenders, (iii) the Other Term Loans and Other Revolving Loans made by the applicable Term Lenders and applicable Revolving Lenders and (iv) the Notes held by each Lender and (2) all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties (including reimbursement and other obligations in respect of Letters of Credit) (such obligations being herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided that subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.7, with respect to the Borrower in its capacity as a Guarantor hereunder, this Guarantee shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees that, if the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such Guarantor will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 10.2. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 10.1, respectively, shall constitute a guaranty of payment (and not of collection) and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of ‐153‐ [[5988351]]

the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety by any Guarantor, as applicable (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall, in each case, remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above: (a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; (b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted; (c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; (d) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Issuing Lender or any Lender or the Administrative Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or (e) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.8, or otherwise. Each of the Guarantors hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, any defenses it may now or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each of the Guarantors waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this guarantee made under this Section 10 (this “Guarantee”) or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding. ‐154‐ [[5988351]]

10.3. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 10 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. 10.4. No Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 10.1, whether by subrogation, right of contribution or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 10.5. Remedies. Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11) for purposes of Section 10.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower or any Guarantor and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable, or the circumstances occurring where Section 11 provides that such obligations shall become due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 10.1. 10.6. Continuing Guarantee. The Guarantee made by the Guarantors in this Section 10 is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. 10.7. General Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any federal, state, provincial or territorial, corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, examinership, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 10.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 10.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability of such Guarantor shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 10.9) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. 10.8. Release of Guarantors and Pledges. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person other than a Loan Party or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liquidated in a transaction permitted by Section 9. Upon written notice of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, if pursuant to a transaction permitted by this Agreement a Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder. Upon written notice of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, if pursuant to a transaction permitted by this Agreement (i) any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary described in clause (v) of the definition thereof, then the Equity Interests of such Guarantor (other than 100.00% of the non-voting Equity Interests and 65.00% of the voting Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a CFC or a CFC Holdco and is directly owned by a Loan Party) shall be ‐155‐ [[5988351]]

automatically released from the security interests created by the Loan Documents or (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary that is a CFC or a CFC Holdco ceases to be directly owned by a Loan Party, then the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from any security interests created by the Loan Documents. In connection with any such release of a Guarantor or security interest, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements and other documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release. 10.9. 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, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which 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 10.4. The provisions of this Section 10.9 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 for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 10.10. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any other Loan Party hereunder to honor all of such Loan Party’s obligations under this Section 10 in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.10, or otherwise under this Section 10, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.10 constitute, and this Section 10.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA. SECTION 11. EVENTS OF DEFAULT 11.1. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall occur if any of the following events shall occur and be continuing; provided that any requirement for the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, has been satisfied (any such event, an “Event of Default”): (a) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan or Unpaid Drawing when due in accordance with the terms hereof; or the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan or Unpaid Drawing, or any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document within five (5) Business Days after any such interest or other amount becomes due in accordance with the terms hereof; or (b) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or its Material Subsidiaries herein or in any other Loan Document or that is contained in any certificate, document or financial or other statement furnished by it at any time under or in connection with this Agreement or any such other Loan Document shall prove to have been inaccurate in any material respect (except where such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality, ‐156‐ [[5988351]]

in which case such representation or warranty shall prove to have been inaccurate in any respect) on or as of the date made or deemed made (or if any representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, inaccurate in any material respect as of such specific date (except where such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall prove to have been inaccurate in any respect)), and, in each case, such inaccuracy (to the extent capable of remedy) shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders; or (c) any Loan Party shall default in the observance or performance of (i) any agreement contained in Section 8.4(a) (with respect to the Borrower only), Section 8.7(a) or Section 9 (other than Section 9.1); or (ii) Section 9.1; or (d) any Loan Party shall default in the observance or performance of any other agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than as provided in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 11.1), and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders; or (e) the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries shall (i) default in making any payment of any principal of any Indebtedness (including any Guarantee Obligation in respect of Indebtedness, but excluding the Loans) on the scheduled or original due date with respect thereto; (ii) default in making any payment of any interest on any such Indebtedness beyond the period of grace, if any, provided in the instrument or agreement under which such Indebtedness was created; or (iii) default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any such Indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other event or condition is to (x) cause, or to permit the holder or beneficiary of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or beneficiary) to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity or (in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting a Guarantee Obligation) to become payable or (y) to cause, with the giving of notice if required, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to purchase or redeem or make an offer to purchase or redeem such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity; provided that a default, event or condition described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 11.1(e) shall not at any time constitute an Event of Default (A) unless, at such time, one or more defaults, events or conditions of the type described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 11.1(e) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to Indebtedness the outstanding principal amount of which exceeds the Threshold Amount, (B) in the case of any Indebtedness if the sole remedy or option of the holder thereof in the event of the non-payment of such Indebtedness or the non-payment or non-performance of obligations related thereto is to elect to convert such Indebtedness into Qualified Equity Interests and cash in lieu of fractional shares, (C) in the case of Indebtedness which the holder thereof may elect to convert into Qualified Equity Interests, such Indebtedness from and after the date, if any, on which such conversion has been effected, or (D) the applicable failure has been remedied or waived by the holders of the applicable Indebtedness; provided further, that clause (iii) of this Section 11.1(e) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary Disposition of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, if such Disposition is permitted hereunder and such Indebtedness that becomes due is paid upon such Disposition; or (f) (i) the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary, shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (A) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or ‐157‐ [[5988351]]

loss of perfection or priority results solely from the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under any Security Document or from the failure of the Administrative Agent to file UCC continuation statements (or similar statements or filings in other jurisdictions) and (y) the Loan Parties take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to remedy such loss of perfection or priority; or (j) any material Guarantee of any Guarantor contained in Section 10 shall cease, for any reason, to be in full force and effect, other than as provided for in Section 10.8, or any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any such Loan Party shall so assert; or (k) a Change of Control shall occur. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to “exist” or be “continuing” (or other similar expression with respect thereto) if (x) the events, acts or conditions that gave rise to such Default or Event of Default have been remedied or cured (including by payment, notice, taking of any action or omitting to take any action) or have ceased to exist or (y) such Default or Event of Default shall have been waived. Notwithstanding the forgoing, an Event of Default (the “Initial Default”) may not be cured pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence: (a) if (i) the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries takes any action that is not permitted during, and as a result of, the continuance of such Initial Default (including, without limitation, a credit extension at a time when the conditions thereto have not been met and the application of proceeds thereof), (ii) such action directly results in the cure of such Initial Default, and (iii) the Borrower had actual knowledge at the time of taking any such action that the Initial Default had occurred and was continuing; (b) in the case of an Initial Default for which (i) the Borrower failed to give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of such Initial Default in accordance with the notice covenant and (ii) the Borrower or its responsible officers had Knowledge of such failure to give notice; or (c) in the case of an Event of Default with respect to (i) the actual or asserted invalidity of guarantees or security documents or loss of liens and/or perfection with respect to a material portion of the Collateral that directly results in material impairment of the rights and remedies of the Lenders, Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent and is incapable of being cured or (ii) failure to maintain insurance that directly results in a material adverse effect on the ability of the Borrower and the Loan Parties (taken as a whole) to perform their respective payment obligations under any Loan Document. ‐159‐ [[5988351]]

11.2. Action in Event of Default. (a) Upon any Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(f) in respect of the commencement of any case, proceeding or other action, the Commitments shall immediately terminate automatically and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall automatically immediately become due and payable and, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2(b) below, if any other Event of Default under Section 11.1 occurs, any or all of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Revolving Loan Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Loan Commitments shall immediately terminate; (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, may enforce all Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Security Documents. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full and all other Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made), the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section 11.2, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(c)(ii) (a “Financial Covenant Event of Default”) that is uncured or unwaived, the Required Lenders may (i) declare that such breach constitutes a Default for purposes of Section 7.2 and (ii) on the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered for the applicable fiscal quarter if the Borrower has provided a Notice of Intent to Cure with respect to such breach and, otherwise, immediately upon such breach, either (x) terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment or (y) take the actions specified in Section 11.2(a) in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Revolving Loans. In respect of a Financial Covenant Event of Default that is continuing, the Required Lenders may take the actions specified in Section 11.2(a) on or after the date that the Required Lenders terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment or accelerate all Obligations in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that the Required Lenders may not take such actions if either (i) the Revolving Loans have been repaid in full (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) and the Revolving Loan Commitments have been terminated or (ii) the Financial Covenant Event of Default has been waived by the Required Lenders. ‐160‐ [[5988351]]

(b) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Intent to Cure prior to the last day of the Equity Cure Period, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall exercise any rights or remedies under this Section 11 (or any rights and remedies under any other Loan Document that are available during the continuance of an Event of Default) on the basis of any failure to comply with the Financial Covenant until the expiration of the Equity Cure Period. 11.4. Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply, at such time or times as the Administrative Agent may elect, all or any part of the proceeds constituting Collateral in payment of the Obligations (and in the event the Loans and other Obligations are accelerated pursuant to Section 11.2, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, apply the proceeds constituting Collateral, and all other amounts received on account of the Obligations), in the following order: (a) First, to the payment of all costs and expenses of any sale, collection or other realization on the Collateral, including reimbursement for all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in connection therewith (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with any action taken pursuant to any Loan Document or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any other amount required by any provision of law (including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC)), and all amounts for which Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent are entitled to indemnification hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and all advances made by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and thereunder for the account of any Loan Party (excluding principal and interest in ‐161‐ [[5988351]]

SECTION 12. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 12.1. Appointment; Nature of Duties. The Lenders and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably designate and appoint JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 12, Section 11.4 and Section 13, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents, along with one or more Affiliates or branches, if applicable under the relevant Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees, affiliates or Related Persons. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 12.1 and of Section 12.6 shall apply to any of the Affiliates or Related Persons of the Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities provided for herein as well as activities of the Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 12.1 and of Section 12.6 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (a) such sub-agent shall be a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third-party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Loan Parties and the Lenders, (b) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) may be modified or amended with the consent of the Administrative Agent (and without the consent of such sub-agent), and (c) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any other powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder. The provisions of this Section 12 are solely for the ‐163‐ [[5988351]]

benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuing Lender, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 12.2. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Affiliates of the Borrower or of the Borrower that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. (d) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.2 and 13.12) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender. (e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. ‐164‐ [[5988351]]

(f) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. 12.3. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, or any of their Related Persons, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. 12.4. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. 12.5. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or any Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not ‐165‐ [[5988351]]

be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 12.6. Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (or any Affiliate or Related Person thereof) is required to be reimbursed or indemnified by the Borrower and has not been reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof), including without limitation in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). 12.7. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a Similar Business with any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. 12.8. Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. 12.9. Resignation by the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Lender. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.

(g) Each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to (i) exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto and (ii) take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in accordance with the Security Documents. At the request of the Collateral Agent, each Secured Party shall provide the Collateral Agent with a separate written power of attorney for the purposes of executing any agreements or document or otherwise acting on their behalf. (h) [Reserved]. (i) Each Secured Party hereby ratifies and approves all acts and declarations previously done by the Collateral Agent (or representative acting for and on its behalf) on such Secured Party’s behalf (including, but not limited to, for the avoidance of doubt, the declarations made by the Collateral Agent as representative without power of attorney in relation to the creation of any pledge on behalf and for the benefit of any Secured Party as future pledgee or otherwise). (j) Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee or take any other action under any Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), ‐170‐ [[5988351]]

the Collateral Agent 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) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. (k) No Swap Agreement or agreement in respect of Cash Management Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Qualified Counterparty or provider of Cash Management Obligation, as applicable, that is a party to such Swap Agreement or agreement in respect of Cash Management Obligations, as applicable, any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents except as expressly provided in Section 13.12(a)(6) of this Agreement and any Security Document and any Intercreditor Agreement. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Qualified Counterparty and provider of Cash Management Obligations shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (k). (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Swap Agreements with a Qualified Counterparty or in respect of Cash Management Obligations. 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 Loan Party 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. (m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made and (ii) Obligations in respect of any Swap Agreement, Cash Management Obligations and other contingent obligations, in each case not then due and owing) have been paid indefeasibly in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any party to any Swap Agreement or provider of Cash Management Obligations) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Swap Agreements or Cash Management Obligations. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if, after such release, any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned 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 payment had not been made. (n) In each case as specified in this Section 12.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under any Security Document or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to ‐171‐ [[5988351]]

release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 12.10. 12.11. [Reserved]. 12.12. Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only to the extent permitted hereunder and in accordance with such specific request. 12.13. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten (10) days of demand therefor, all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 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 Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.13. The agreements in this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 12.13, include any Issuing Lender. 12.14. Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into each Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement contemplated hereunder (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party of any Indebtedness of such Loan Party that is permitted to be secured pursuant to Sections 9.3(b) and 9.4 of this Agreement (with such priority as may be designated by such Loan Party, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents)), and the parties hereto acknowledge that any Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement contemplated hereunder (if entered into) will be binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement (if entered into) and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into each Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement contemplated hereunder (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Loan ‐172‐ [[5988351]]

Party of any Indebtedness of such Loan Party that is permitted to be secured pursuant to Sections 9.3(b) and 9.4 of this Agreement (with such priority as may be designated by such Loan Party, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents)), and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof. 12.15. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.1(a) and (d), 12.6 and 13.1) allowed in such judicial proceeding; (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and (c) and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.9 and 11.4. (d) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any Issuing Lender or in any such proceeding; (e) The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations (as defined in any applicable Security Document) pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Section 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest ‐173‐ [[5988351]]

upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (i) of Section 13.12 of this Agreement), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. 12.16. Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender; ‐174‐ [[5988351]]

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). 12.17. Erroneous Payments. (a) (i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 12.17(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (ii) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (iii) The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all ‐175‐ [[5988351]]

the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided, that this Section 12.17 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Loans and interest thereon relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) thereof that would have been payable had such erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment. (iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.17(a) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document. SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS 13.1. Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrower hereby agrees to: (i) subject to the limitations set forth in the Commitment Letter (to the extent they are applicable), pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers (limited in respect of legal costs and expenses to the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel selected by the Administrative Agent and of a single local and special counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and Joint Lead Arrangers in each relevant jurisdiction) (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, a single additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Lenders, taken as a whole) in connection with the syndication of the Facilities or preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, any Letters of Credit issued hereunder, and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver, modification, maintenance or protection of any security interest or consent relating hereto or thereto and enforcement or protection of rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 13.1, of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and their Affiliates in connection with its or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, any Loans or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (limited in respect of legal costs and expenses to, in each case, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of one special counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the group of Issuing Lenders and the group of Lenders (and, solely in the case of any actual or potential conflict of interest as determined by the affected Issuing Lender or Lender, one additional counsel for the affected Lenders as a whole)); and (ii) pay and hold the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, excise and other similar documentary taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to ‐176‐ [[5988351]]

or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Lender) to pay such taxes. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Lender, each Lender and each of their respective Related Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims (including any claims brought against any Indemnified Person by a third party, a Loan Party, any Affiliate or equity holder of a Loan Party or any director or officer or creditor thereof), actions, judgments, suits, investigations, costs, expenses and disbursements (including any prospective claim, suit, action or investigation) (limited in respect of legal costs and expenses to reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees for a single firm of counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and if necessary, one single local and special counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for any affected Lenders, taken as a whole) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding related to the entering into or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the use of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated herein or in any other Loan Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Loan Documents or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Materials of Environmental Concern at any Property; the generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Materials of Environmental Concern by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at any location; the non-compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law (including applicable permits thereunder) relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Property; or any related claim asserted against the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Property; provided that no Indemnified Person will be indemnified under this Section 13.1 for (i) any cost, expense or liability to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or any of its controlled Affiliates or controlling Persons and their respective officers, directors, employees, managers or members and in the case of an agent, representative or advisor, such Person acting at the instruction of such Indemnified Person, a material breach under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any such persons or disputes between and among Indemnified Persons (other than disputes against the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender in such capacity or arising from any act or omission by the Borrower of its affiliates), (ii) any settlement entered into by such person without the Borrower’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s consent, or if there is a judgment against an Indemnified Person in any such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in the manner set forth above, (iii) without limiting any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 5.5), any Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim and (iv) any increased costs, compensation or net payments incurred by or owed to any Indemnified Person that are provided for in Section 2.11. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. For clarity, the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Section 13.1 shall include the Administrative Agent acting in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party, Subsidiary and Lender-Related Person (as defined below) shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other such party, on ‐177‐ [[5988351]]

any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, punitive or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations to the extent such special, indirect, consequential and punitive damages are included in any third-party claim in connection with which such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder. Each Loan Party, Subsidiary and Lender-Related Person shall not be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such party results from such party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision); provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations to the extent such damages are included in any third-party claim in connection with which any Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder. As used herein, “Lender-Related Person” means the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Lender and their respective Related Persons. This Section 13.1 shall not apply in respect of the matters addressed in Sections 2.11, 2.12, 3.6 and 5.5, which shall be the sole remedy in respect of matters addressed in such sections. 13.2. Right of Setoff. (a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender) is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Loan Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender) (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender) wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.4, and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.17(d) and (e) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff; provided further that: ‐178‐ [[5988351]]

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section 13.2 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.17, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 13.2 shall apply). (b) Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 13.3. Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile or overnight courier) and mailed, telefaxed or delivered: if to any Loan Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Loan Documents; if to any Lender to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in an Administrative Questionnaire substantially in the form of Exhibit O (including, as appropriate, notices delivered solely to the Person designated by a Lender on its Administrative Questionnaire then in effect for the delivery of notices that may contain material non-public information relating to the Borrower); and if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telefaxed or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telefax, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be. (b) (i)Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail ‐179‐ [[5988351]]

address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. (ii) Each Loan Party understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. (iii) The Platform and any electronic communications are provided “as is” and “as available.” Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the electronic communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the electronic communications. 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 the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives in connection with the Platform or the electronic communications. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing 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, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Loan Documents, Finance Documents or other documentation, information or notices through the Platform, any other electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Agent Parties, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. (iv) Each Loan Party, each Lender and each Issuing Lender and each other party thereto agrees that Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Loan Party provides to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent, Lenders or Issuing Lenders by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 13 on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies. (v) Any notice of Default or Event of Default may be provided by telephone if confirmed promptly thereafter by delivery of written notice thereof. (c) Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each “public-side” Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such “public-side” Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such “public-side” Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such “public-side” Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including ‐180‐ [[5988351]]

United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to documentation and information that are not made available through the “public-lender information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. In the event that any “public-side” Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such “public-side” Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such “public-side” Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (d) The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Letter of Credit Requests and Notices of Borrowing) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Lender and the Related Persons of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. (e) The Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of any update to the list of Disqualified Lenders in writing at the following address: JPMDQ_Contact@jpmorgan.com. 13.4. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) (i)Assignments. 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 (including any affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). 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 (b) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Persons of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (a)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: (A) the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender; and (B) the Borrower; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required (i) for assignments to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund or (ii) if a Significant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. ‐181‐ [[5988351]]

(ii)Assignment Conditions. 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 Commitments or Loans under any Class, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000 (provided, in each case, that simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of determining such amount) unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consent; provided that the conditions in this clause (A) shall not be applicable to transfers by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15(e)(iii); (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that the conditions in this clause (B) shall not be applicable to transfers by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15(e)(iii); and (C) the Assignee, if it is not already a Lender hereunder, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any applicable Internal Revenue Service forms described in Section 5.5(b) (including the Non-Bank Certificate, as applicable) and any documentation described in Section 5.5(c) or (d) (if applicable). This Section 13.4(a) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or any portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis. (iii)[Reserved]. (iv)[Reserved]. (v)Novation. Subject to Section 13.4(a)(vi) and the acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 13.4(a)(vii) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 5.5 and 13.1). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations if such transaction complies with the requirements of this Section 13.4. (vi)Each Lender hereby expressly reserve and agree to the preservation of (or any action to preserve) the Guarantee in case of assignment, novation, amendment or any other transfer of any Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with any applicable law. ‐182‐ [[5988351]]

(vii)Acceptance and Register. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), together with (x) any processing and recordation fee and (y) any written consents to such assignment required by this Section 13.4, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (b) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender, sell participations in respect of Revolving Loan Commitments or Revolving Loans to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, the Sponsors (or their Affiliates), the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or a Disqualified Lender) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations with respect thereto; 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) each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender 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. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.6 without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender pursuant to Section 13.12(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the commitment of, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of, each Participant’s interest in the Loans, L/C Obligations or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, L/C Obligations or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, L/C Obligation or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the IRS. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such 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. (ii) The Borrower agrees that (x) each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 3.6 (subject to the requirements of those sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.4(a) and (y) each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.5 and subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 5.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender that had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.4(a) (and for the purposes of the definitions of Excluded Taxes, Indemnified Taxes and Taxes, such Participant shall be treated as if it were a Lender); provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.13 and 2.14 as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.4(a). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.14 with respect to any Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participant shall be entitled to receive any ‐183‐ [[5988351]]

greater payment under Section 2.11, 3.6 or 5.5 than the applicable participating Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such participating Lender to such Participant had no such participation occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Tax Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.2. (c) Any Lender may 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 13.4 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. (d) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in this Section 13.4. (e) Each Lender, upon succeeding to an interest in Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption that it is an Eligible Assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.4 or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Borrower shall have consented thereto in writing in its sole discretion, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Commitments via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower and shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Section 13.4. Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until the Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. The Borrower may withdraw its consent to the use of the Settlement Service at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent, and thereafter assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein. 13.5. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Loan Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a ‐184‐ [[5988351]]

waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 13.6. Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata (or in accordance with Section 11.4, as applicable) based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received. (b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Fees or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Loan Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.6(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which (i) require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and (ii) permit disproportionate payments with respect to the Loans as, and to the extent, expressly provided herein. (d) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (i) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (ii) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 13.7. Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a ‐185‐ [[5988351]]

“Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions in this Section 13.7 applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the United States or any other state of the United States), in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 13.8. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY RELATED PARTY THEREOF IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN), IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY ‐186‐ [[5988351]]

LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. (b) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (A) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN), THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. (c) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY BUT EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 13.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include any electronic sound, symbol or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record, and deliveries 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, physical delivery thereof 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; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. 13.10. Effectiveness. This Agreement became effective on the Closing Date. ‐187‐ [[5988351]]

All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.11, 2.12, 3.6, 5.5, 12.6 and 13.1 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations. 13.14. Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.11, 2.12, 3.6 or 5.5 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes in any applicable law, treaty, government rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the official interpretation thereof, after the date of the respective transfer). ‐190‐ [[5988351]]

13.15. Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its non-fiduciary agent (and such agency being solely to the extent required for tax purposes), solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record from time to time the name and address of each Lender and each Issuing Lender, the Commitments, the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations and any other obligations under the Loan Documents, and the amounts of stated interest due thereon, owing to each Lender and each Issuing Lender pursuant the terms hereof and any Note. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans, L/C Obligations or other obligations under the Loan Documents. With respect to any Lender or Issuing Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender or Issuing Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loans, L/C Obligations and any other obligations under the Loan Documents owing to such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans, L/C Obligations and other obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments, Loans, L/C Obligations or other obligations under the Loan Documents shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 13.4. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error) and upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender or Issuing Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Lender or Issuing Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assignee or transferee Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15 to the same extent that the Administrative Agent is otherwise indemnified pursuant to Section 13.1 or Section 12.6. 13.16. Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each, a “Lender Party”) agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors, agents, representatives or counsel or to another Lender Party if such Lender Party or such Lender Party’s holding or parent company or other affiliate (other than affiliates that are engaged primarily as private equity investors (other than a limited number of senior employees who are required, in accordance with industry regulations or the Lender Party’s internal policies and procedures, to act in a supervisory capacity and the Lender Party’s internal legal, compliance, risk management, credit and investment committee members)) in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information; provided that such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender Party) any information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that any Lender Party may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.16(a) by the respective Lender Party, (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or federal ‐191‐ [[5988351]]

regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender Party or to the Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process, (iv) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (v) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16 or substantially similar terms, (vi) to any prospective or actual transferee or Participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender; provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16 or substantially similar terms (it being understood that the list of Disqualified Lenders may be disclosed to any prospective or actual transferee or Participant, in reliance on this clause (vi)), (vii) to any rating agency when required by it or the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance or monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit provided hereunder; provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Loan Parties received by it from the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (viii) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (ix) to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (x) to the extent such information becomes available to any Lender Party, or any Affiliates or any Related Persons of such Lender Parties, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Affiliates, other than by virtue of a breach of any confidentiality obligation owed by such Person to the Borrower or its Affiliates. (b) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender Party may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender Party, any information related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries); provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender Party. (c) Each Lender Party acknowledges that (i) the information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws. 13.17. Patriot Act; Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. ‐192‐ [[5988351]]

13.18. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 13.19. Judgment Currency. (a) The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in the respective Available Currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the applicable Alternate Currency Equivalent or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, as the case may be, and, in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”). (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. (c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or the applicable Alternate Currency Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 13.19, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency. 13.20. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any ‐193‐ [[5988351]]

such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. 13.21. Electronic Execution. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion/Continuation, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, 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; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it. 13.22. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders, and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 13.23. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which 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 ‐194‐ [[5988351]]

unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 13.24. Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the provisions of the Commitment Letter that, by their terms, survive the execution of the Loan Documents and the Fee Letter represent the agreement of the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any such parties relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein, therein or in the other Loan Documents. It is expressly agreed and confirmed that the provisions of the Commitment Letter that, by their terms, survive the execution of the Loan Documents and the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the occurrence of the Closing Date and shall continue in effect thereafter in accordance with their terms. 13.25. Financing Statement Authorization. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to file one or more financing statements (including fixture filings), continuation statements, filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) or other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by each Guarantor, without the signature of any Guarantor, and naming any Guarantor or the Guarantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party. Each Guarantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all assets,” “all personal property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired,” “all of the debtor’s assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or words of similar effect in any such financing statements filed or other filings for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting any security interest granted by such Guarantor under any Loan Document. 13.26. Co-Borrowers. (a) Without limiting their obligations as Guarantors, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.26, designate one or more of its direct or indirect Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries organized in the United States to join this Agreement as co-borrowers under any Revolving Facility (each, a “Co-Borrower”) hereunder and under all other Loan Documents, jointly and severally liable with respect to all applicable Obligations as primary obligors and not merely as sureties. (b) In order to so designate a Co-Borrower, the Borrower shall, upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), request that any such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary (an “Applicant Borrower”) become a Co-Borrower to receive, or become obligated with respect to, Loans under the applicable Facility by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each applicable Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit P (a “Co-Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming a Co-Borrower hereunder, (i) the obligations with respect to such Applicant Borrower becoming a Co-Borrower set forth in this Section 13.26 shall have been satisfied and (ii) for any Applicant Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders shall have received (x) not more than 5 Business Days after the Borrower’s initial notice required above, the documentation and other information that are required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and (y) such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel, Security Documents and other documents or information, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be required by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and Notes signed by such new Co-Borrower to the extent any Lenders so require (the requirements set forth in ‐195‐ [[5988351]]

the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the “Co-Borrower Requirements”). If the Co-Borrower Requirements are met, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit Q (a “Co-Borrower Notice”) to the Borrower and the applicable Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Co-Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the applicable Lenders agrees to permit such Co-Borrower to receive, or become obligated with respect to, Loans under the applicable Facility, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Co-Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement (and the term “Borrower” shall be deemed to include such Co-Borrower unless the context otherwise requires); provided that no Notice of Borrowing or Letter of Credit Request may be submitted by or on behalf of such Co-Borrower until the date five (5) Business Days after such effective date unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents. (c) The Obligations of the Borrower and each Co-Borrower shall be joint and several in nature. Each Subsidiary that becomes a Co-Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.26 hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents and all other documents and electronic platforms entered into in connection herewith, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices and (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by the Borrower and all Co-Borrowers, or by the Borrower or each Co-Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Borrower, whether or not any such other Co-Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Co-Borrower. (d) A Co-Borrower may elect to terminate its eligibility to request Borrowings and to cease to be a Co-Borrower hereunder upon the occurrence of, and such resignation shall effective upon, such resigning Co-Borrower having delivered to the Administrative Agent a notice of resignation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent); provided that (i) there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Co-Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Co-Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination and (ii) unless such Person is also released as a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such resignation shall not, to the extent applicable, have any impact on such Person’s obligations as a Subsidiary Guarantor and such obligations, to the extent applicable, shall continue to be effective in accordance with this Agreement and the other provisions and undertakings hereunder related thereto. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Co-Borrower’s status.
