Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Existing Credit Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2019, by and among Holdings, the Borrower, the Agent, the lending institutions parties thereto and the other agents and entities party thereto (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2020, Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated December 16, 2021, Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, dated May 19, 2023, and Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement, dated October 11, 2023, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

B. The Borrower has requested and the lenders identified on Schedule 1 hereto (the “2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders”) have agreed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Incremental Term Loans denominated in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 in accordance with Section 2.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement, and such Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to have been made (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be on a cashless basis) as consideration for the repurchase of certain shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement (as defined below)) of Holdings held by such 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders (or their respective Affiliates), pursuant to that certain Conversion and Repurchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Holdings and the Series B Holders (as defined therein) party thereto (the “Repurchase Agreement”) (such transaction, the “Repurchase”).

C. The Borrower intends to incur the 2024 Incremental Term Loans (as defined below) as consideration for the Repurchase and thereby effect the cancellation and retirement of certain Common Stock (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement) of Holdings held by such 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders (or their respective Affiliates) pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.

D. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties party hereto (each, a “Reaffirming Party” and, collectively, the “Reaffirming Parties”) expects to realize substantial direct and indirect benefits as a result of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and desires to reaffirm its obligations pursuant to the Collateral Documents to which it is a party.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

SECTION 1. 2024 Incremental Term Loans

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the Existing Credit Agreement, each 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lender shall be deemed to have made, on a several and not joint basis, Incremental Term Loans (the “2024 Incremental Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date (as defined below) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lender’s name on Schedule 1 annexed hereto.


(b) This Amendment shall constitute (i) the notice required pursuant to Section 2.14(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement and shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements set forth therein and (ii) an Incremental Amendment referenced in and for purposes of Section 2.14(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement.

(c) Except as set forth herein, the terms of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be the same as the terms of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment (the “Existing Term Loans”) (including, without limitation, with respect to the Base Rate, the Applicable Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR and the 2021 Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date) and, after the Closing Date, the 2024 Incremental Term Loans and the Existing Term Loans shall constitute one tranche and Class of Term Loans. Upon the Closing Date, the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders shall each be a 2021 Incremental Term Loan Lender for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement, with an outstanding 2021 Incremental Term Loan. Following the Closing Date, each reference to “2021 Incremental Term Loans” in the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be a reference to the Existing Term Loans and the 2024 Incremental Term Loans, and each reference to “2021 Incremental Term Loan Lenders” in the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall include the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders, in each case, unless the context shall require otherwise, and each 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lender shall have the rights and obligations of a “2021 Incremental Term Loan Lender” under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans, when originally deemed made, are 2021 Incremental Term Loans for all purposes under the Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent is authorized to mark the Register accordingly to reflect the amendments and adjustments set forth herein.

(d) The 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be a single Term SOFR Loan denominated in Dollars, with an initial Interest Period that commences on the Closing Date and ends on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the Existing Term Loans. During such initial Interest Period, Adjusted Term SOFR applicable to the 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be the same Adjusted Term SOFR applicable for the Existing Term Loans.

(e) The amortization of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be increased proportionally by the amount of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans deemed made on the Closing Date; provided that, prior optional prepayments of the 2021 Incremental Term Loans shall continue to be applied to reduce such amortization payments as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iii) of the Existing Credit Agreement, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall result in no future amortization payments being due.

(f) The 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be used as set forth in the recitals hereto solely for purposes of the Repurchase.

(g) The Borrower agrees that the 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be treated as made at par and fungible with outstanding the Existing Term Loans for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders acknowledge such treatment and do not intend to take an inconsistent position for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 2. [Reserved].

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. Subject to Section 12 below, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties party hereto represent and warrant to the Agent and the Lenders as of the Closing Date that:

(a) The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party party hereto of this Amendment and other documents executed in connection herewith to which such Person is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, are within such Loan Party’s corporate or other powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any material Lien under, or require any material payment to be made under (i) any material Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate any Law that would adversely affect the rights of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents.

(b) This Amendment and each other document executed in connection herewith have been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party hereto and thereto. This Amendment and each other document executed in connection herewith constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against each Loan Party that is a party hereto and thereto in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

(c) (i) Immediately before and after the Closing Date, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) all representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article VI of the Existing Credit Agreement or similar provisions in any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates.

(d) Neither the Amended Credit Agreement effected on the Closing Date pursuant to this Amendment nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Amendment: (i) impairs (or will impair as of the Closing Date) the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to any Loan Document (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), whether heretofore or hereafter incurred or (ii) requires (or will require as of the Closing Date) that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens (other than any filings in connection with the addition of new Loan Parties and any actions contemplated by Section 7.12 and Section 7.14(b) of the Amended Credit Agreement).

(c) On or substantially concurrently with the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent required in connection with this Amendment pursuant to Section 11.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement and the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel, Latham & Watkins LLP, plus one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction.

SECTION 9. Headings. Article and 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.

SECTION 10. Effect of Amendment.

(a) Until this Amendment becomes effective in accordance with its terms and the Closing Date shall have occurred, the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected hereby. On and after the Closing Date, all obligations of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement shall become obligations of such Borrower under the Amended Credit Agreement and the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement.

(b) Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment or in the Amended Credit Agreement, this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Existing Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document, all of which (as amended by this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement) are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Amended Credit Agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances or be construed as a release or other discharge of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities as a “Borrower”, a “Grantor” or a “Guarantor” (or any similar term) under the Existing Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge that it is not their intention that this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents executed or delivered pursuant hereto constitute a novation of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, but a modification thereof pursuant to the terms contained herein.

(c) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, or the Collateral Agent, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Collateral Documents, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other person to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Collateral Documents in similar or different circumstances.

(d) As of the Closing Date, each reference in the Existing Credit Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules thereto) to “the Credit Agreement,” “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the Existing Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, by means of words like “thereunder”, “thereof” and words of like import), shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement. This Amendment (including the schedule hereto) shall constitute a Loan Document (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement both before and after giving effect to the amendment thereof by this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement).

SECTION 11. Reaffirmation.

Subject to Section 12 below:

(a) Each Reaffirming Party hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement and consents to (i) the amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement and (ii) the transactions contemplated by this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement. Each Reaffirming Party hereby (i) reaffirms its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (ii) reaffirms that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement), the guarantees, pledges, grants of security interests, Liens and other agreements and obligations of such Reaffirming Party and the terms of each of the Collateral Documents and each other Loan Document to which such Reaffirming Party is a party are not impaired or affected in any manner whatsoever and shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Amended Credit Agreement.

(b) Each Reaffirming Party hereby confirms and agrees that (i) the 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall, on and after the Closing Date, constitute, “Obligations” (or any word of like import) under each of the Amended Credit Agreement and Collateral Documents and each other Loan Document, and (ii) the Obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement have been and will continue to be guaranteed pursuant to Article IV of the Amended Credit Agreement and secured pursuant to the Collateral Documents by a legal, valid, binding and enforceable security interest in and a fully perfected continuing Lien on all of such Reaffirming Party’s right, title and interest in, to and under all “Collateral” as defined in the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Each of the Reaffirming Parties hereby confirms that the Agent is authorized to prepare and file all documents, agreements and instruments and take all other actions necessary to satisfy the perfection requirements and to cause the Lien created by each applicable Collateral Document in respect of the Obligations to be duly perfected to the extent required by such agreement in accordance with all applicable Laws, including the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as necessary.

SECTION 12. Dutch Loan Parties.

The obligations, reaffirmation, confirmation, acknowledgement and agreement under Section 11 above (the “Security and Guarantee Confirmation”) shall, in relation to each of Saval B.V., Chubb Fire & Security B.V. and Security Monitoring Centre B.V. (each a “Works Council Loan Party” and collectively the “Works Council Loan Parties”), be subject to completion of the consultation proceedings as required by the Dutch Works Councils Act (Wet op de ondernemingsraden) insofar as the Security and Guarantee Confirmation results in the 2024 Incremental Term Loans being guaranteed and secured pursuant to the Loan Documents by the Works Council Loan Parties (the “Works Council Condition”).

 

8


Subject to the terms of this Amendment, each of the Works Council Loan Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely satisfy or procure the satisfaction of the Works Council Condition as soon as reasonably possible and will notify the Agent in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after the satisfaction of the Works Council Condition.

The Works Council Loan Parties shall inform the Agent in writing of any material developments and issues (including notifying the Agent in writing of any request, commitment or condition raised by the relevant works council).

Prior to completion of the consultation proceedings as required by the Dutch Works Councils Act (Wet op de ondernemingsraden) for any Works Council Loan Party, such Works Council Loan Party shall not guarantee or secure pursuant to the Loan Documents the 2024 Incremental Term Loans.

The existing guarantees, security interests and Loan Documents granted by the Works Council Loan Parties for which advice from the relevant works council has been obtained prior to the date hereof will remain unaffected and will extend to the obligations as amended by this Amendment, except for the 2024 Incremental Term Loans.

SECTION 13. Submission to Jurisdiction; WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. Sections 11.16(b) and (c) of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference herein. 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 OR DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 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 AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 14. FATCA.

(a) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders party hereto hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the 2024 Incremental Term Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(b) The Borrower and the Administrative Agent request each Lender to provide the U.S. federal income tax documentation as required under Section 11.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement (including documentation required under Section 11.14(c) of the Existing Credit Agreement to allow the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment).
