Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) the compliance with any of the provisions of this Commitment Letter (other than the conditions expressly set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto), (ii) the commencement and the completion of the syndication of any of the Facilities and (iii) the obtaining of the ratings referenced above shall not, in the case of any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), constitute a condition precedent to any Initial Lender’s commitments hereunder or to the funding and availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date or any time thereafter.

13
    




and such information would be required to ensure that any marketing materials would not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements (taken as a whole) contained therein in light of the circumstances under which they would be made, not materially misleading, you shall provide notice to the Lead Arrangers and you shall communicate, to the extent feasible, the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable obligation) and (y) the only financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Lead Arrangers or the Initial Lenders in connection with the syndication of the Facilities or otherwise shall be those required to be delivered pursuant to clauses (c) and (d) set forth in Exhibit D hereto.
The Lead Arrangers will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication of the Facilities, including, without limitation, selection of Lenders (subject to your reasonable consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and excluding Disqualified Institutions), determination of when the Lead Arrangers will approach potential Lenders, the time of acceptance of the Lenders’ commitments, the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders (subject to your consent rights, as described above) and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders (subject to your consent rights, as described above).
You agree, at the reasonable request of the Lead Arrangers, to assist in the preparation of a version of the Confidential Information Memorandum to be used in connection with the syndication of each Facility, consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is either (a) publicly available (or could be derived from publicly available information) or (b) not material with respect to you, the Target or your or its respective subsidiaries or any of your or its respective securities for purposes of United States federal securities laws assuming such laws are applicable to you, the Target or your or its respective subsidiaries (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender Information” and with any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information being referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”).
You hereby acknowledge that the Lead Arrangers will make available, on a confidential basis, the information, Projections and other offering and marketing materials and presentations, including the Confidential Information Memorandum, to be used in connection with the syndication of each Facility (such information, Projections, other offering and marketing material and the Confidential Information Memorandum, collectively, with the Term Sheets, the “Information Materials”), to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on Intralinks, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic means.
It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, (i) customary authorization letters will be included in the Confidential Information Memorandum that authorizes the distribution thereof to prospective Lenders, confirms (if applicable) that the additional version of the Confidential Information Memorandum does not include any Private Lender Information (other than information about the Transaction or the Facilities) and (ii) the Confidential Information Memorandum shall contain customary provisions exculpating the existing equity holders, you, the Target and the respective affiliates and subsidiaries of the foregoing and us and our affiliates with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of the contents of the Information Materials or related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to identify and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the public-side lenders. By marking Information Materials as “PUBLIC”, you shall be deemed to have authorized the Lead Arrangers and the proposed Lenders to treat such Information Materials as not containing any Private Lender Information (it being understood that you shall not be under any obligation to mark the Information Materials “PUBLIC”). You agree that, unless expressly identified as “PUBLIC”, each document to be disseminated by the Lead

14
    




Arrangers (or any other agent) to any Lender in connection with the Facilities will be deemed to contain Private Lender Information.
You agree, subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Commitment Letter, that the Lead Arrangers on your behalf may distribute the following documents to all prospective Lenders, unless you advise the Lead Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions (after you have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents) that such material should only be distributed to prospective private Lenders: (a) administrative materials for prospective Lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda; (b) notifications of changes to the Facilities’ terms; and (c) drafts and final versions of term sheets and definitive documents with respect to the Facilities. If you advise us in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions (after you have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents) that any of the foregoing items should be distributed only to private Lenders, then the Lead Arrangers will not distribute such materials to public Lenders without your consent.
3.    Information.
You hereby represent and warrant that (a) to your knowledge, insofar as it applies to information concerning the Target, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses, all written information concerning you, the Target, your and its respective subsidiaries and your, its and their respective businesses (other than the Projections, other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or industry nature) that has been or will be made available by you (or on your behalf) to any Commitment Party in connection with the Transactions (the “Information”) did not or will not when furnished, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, as supplemented and updated from time to time, and (b) the Projections contained in the Confidential Information Memorandum will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time of delivery thereof based on information provided by the Target or its representatives; it being understood that such Projections (i) are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized, that actual results may differ and that such differences may be material and (ii) are not a guarantee of performance. If at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence are incorrect in any material respect (to your knowledge insofar as it applies to the Information and Projections concerning the Target, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses), you agree to (and to use your commercially reasonable efforts with respect to the Information and the Projections concerning the Target and its subsidiaries and their respective businesses) promptly supplement the Information and the Projections such that the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence remain true in all material respects (to your knowledge insofar as it applies to the Information and Projections concerning the Target, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses, it being understood in each case that such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representations and warranties). The accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties, whether or not cured, shall not be a condition to the commitments and obligations of the Initial Lenders hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date. In arranging the Facilities, including the syndication of the Facilities, the Commitment Parties will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.
4.    Fees.
    

15

5.    Conditions.
The Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder to fund the Facilities on the Closing Date are subject solely to the conditions expressly set forth in Exhibit D hereto, and upon the satisfaction (or waiver by the applicable Lead Arrangers) of such conditions, the initial funding of the Facilities shall occur. There are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder, and there will be no conditions (implied or otherwise) under the Facilities Documentation to the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date, including compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Facilities Documentation, other than those that are expressly set forth in Exhibit D.
Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (a) the only representations and warranties to the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (i) such of the representations and warranties made by the Target with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries in the Transaction Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you (or any of your affiliates) have the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate your (or its) obligations under the Transaction Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition (in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement) as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in the Transaction Agreement (the “Specified Transaction Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (b) the terms of the Facilities Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date if the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit D as attached hereto are satisfied or waived by the Lead Arrangers (it being understood that to the extent any lien search or Collateral or any security interests therein (including the creation or perfection of any security interest) (other than to the extent that a lien on such Collateral may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) or, with respect to each material domestic wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower, by the delivery of stock or other certificates of each material domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiary of the Borrower that is part of the Collateral and, with respect to the Target and material domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of the Target, by the delivery of stock or other certificates of the Target and material domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of the Target, only to the extent such stock or other certificates are received from the Target on or prior to the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so without undue burden or expense) is not or cannot be provided or perfected on the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, or without undue burden or expense, the delivery of such lien search and/or Collateral (and creation or perfection of security interests therein), as applicable, shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date but shall instead be required to be delivered or provided within 90 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as may be reasonably agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent) pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties set forth in the applicable Facilities Documentation relating to: organizational existence of the Loan Parties; organizational power and authority of the Loan Parties, and due authorization, execution and delivery by the Loan Parties, in each case, as they relate to their entry into and performance of the applicable Facilities Documentation; enforceability of the applicable Facilities Documentation against the Loan Parties; no conflicts with charter documents of the Loan Parties as it relates to their entry into and performance of the applicable Facilities Documentation; solvency of the Borrower

16
    




and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on the Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions (with solvency being determined in a manner consistent with Annex I to Exhibit D attached hereto); subject to the immediately preceding sentence and the limitations set forth in the Term Sheets, creation and perfection of security interests in the Collateral; Federal Reserve margin regulations; the use of proceeds of borrowings under the Facilities on the Closing Date not violating the PATRIOT Act, OFAC or FCPA; and the Investment Company Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent any of the Specified Transaction Agreement Representations are qualified or subject to “material adverse effect,” the definition thereof shall be “Material Adverse Effect” as defined in the Transaction Agreement (“Material Adverse Effect”) for purposes of any representations and warranties made or to be made on, or as of, the Closing Date.

You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings (or any expenses related thereto) effected without your prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if settled with your prior written consent or if there is a final non-appealable judgment against an Indemnified Person in any such Proceedings, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the second preceding paragraph. You shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (a) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings and (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.

You may terminate (on a pro rata basis among all Initial Lenders) all or any portion of the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder at any time subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence; provided that the termination by you of the Initial Term Loan Lenders’ commitments with respect to the Term Loan Facility in full will automatically, and without any further action on the part of you or the Initial Lenders, terminate all of the Initial ABL Lenders’ commitments with respect to the ABL Facility.
Please indicate your acceptance of the terms hereof and of the Fee Letter by signing in the appropriate space below and in the Fee Letter and returning to us facsimiles or electronic copies of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, in each case not later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 8, 2018, failing which the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder will expire at such time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) in the event the ABL Amendment is approved by the requisite lenders under the Existing ABL Facility on or prior to the Closing Date, immediately upon the Borrower’s receipt of such approval, the commitments hereunder in respect of the Backstop ABL Facility shall be automatically terminated and thenceforth the commitments hereunder in respect of the Incremental ABL Facility shall constitute the entire commitments hereunder in respect of the ABL Facility and (ii) in the event the Specified Disposition (as defined in Exhibit B) is consummated on or prior to the Closing Date, to the extent the net proceeds thereof are not applied to reduce pension liabilities on a dollar-for-dollar basis on or prior to the Closing Date, the Term Loan Facility shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis with the amount of such net proceeds on the Closing Date. The termination of any commitment shall not prejudice your rights and remedies in respect of any breach of this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter.

c)
On the Closing Date, the Acquisition will be effected via the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity of such Merger.
For purposes of the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, “Closing Date” shall mean the date that the loans under the Facilities are funded and, substantially concurrently therewith, the Transaction is consummated. The transactions described above, together with the transactions related thereto (including the payment of all Transaction Costs), are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions”.

B-4
    



 
Representations (conformed as necessary for such Permitted Acquisition) shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects), 

 
(ii) any Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment with the Facilities and will either be secured on a pari passu or junior basis with the Term Loan Facility by the same Collateral securing the Term Loan Facility or be unsecured, and shall not be secured by any lien on the assets of any Term Loan Loan Party that does not also secure the then outstanding Term Loan Facility, or be guaranteed by any subsidiary other than a Term Loan Loan Party under the then outstanding Term Loan Facility, and

 
(iii) loans to be made under any Incremental Facility (each, under any Incremental Term Facility, an “Incremental Term Loan” and, each, under any Incremental Revolving Facility, an “Incremental Revolving Loan” and, collectively with Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Loans”) shall be subject to terms determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility, except that:

 
(1) in connection with any Incremental Term Loans, unless any Incremental Term Loans are made a part of the Term Loan Facility (in which case all terms thereof shall be identical to those of the Term Loan Facility), (a) if the “effective margin” applicable to any Incremental Term Loans that are pari passu in right of payment and security with the initial Term Loans (which (x) shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or OID (amortized over the shorter of (1) the weighted average life to maturity of such loans and (2) four years) payable to all lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, (y) if such Incremental Term Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the applicable interest rate floor under the initial Term Loans, such differential between interest rate floors shall be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin under the initial Term Loans shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the initial Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case, the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors and (z) shall exclude structuring, underwriting, ticking, arrangement, amendment, consent, commitment and other fees payable in connection therewith) determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Term Loans, exceeds the “effective margin” applicable to the initial Term Loans (determined on the same basis as provided above) by more than 0.50%, then the “effective margin” for the initial Term Loans shall be increased so that the “effective margin” thereof equals the “effective margin” of such Incremental Term Loans, minus 0.50% (all adjustments made pursuant to this clause (iii)(1)(a), the “MFN Adjustment”); provided  that if any Incremental Term Loan is incurred more than 12 months after the Closing Date, the MFN Adjustments shall not apply, (b) the final stated maturity date for any


B-5
    






 
Incremental Term Loans may be the same as or later (but not sooner) than the final stated maturity date applicable to the then-existing Term Loans, (c) the average weighted life to maturity of such Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the average weighted life to maturity applicable to the then-existing Term Loans (without giving effect to any amortization or prepayments on the outstanding Term Loans), (d) the Borrower may issue, in lieu of any Incremental Term Loans, first lien secured or junior lien secured or unsecured notes, first lien loans, junior lien loans, unsecured loans, or secured or unsecured “Mezzanine” debt (“Incremental Equivalent Debt”) (in each case, (x) if in the form of junior lien or unsecured loans or notes, with a maturity at least 91 days after the maturity of the then existing Term Loans (or if in the form of first lien secured loans or notes, with a maturity no earlier than the maturity of the then existing Term Loans), (y) not guaranteed by any subsidiary other than a Term Loan Loan Party under the then outstanding Term Loan Facility and (z) to the extent secured, subject to customary intercreditor terms to be consistent with the Term Loan Documentation Principles and not secured by any lien on the assets of any Term Loan Loan Party that does not also secure the then outstanding Term Loan Facility) if the applicable conditions to effecting and borrowing under an Incremental Term Facility (as if such Incremental Equivalent Debt were an Incremental Term Loan) would have been satisfied, provided that, the provisions of the preceding clause (iii)(1)(a) shall not apply other than with respect to any loans that are pari passu with the Term Loans in security and right of payment, and clauses (iii)(1)(b) and (iii)(1)(c) shall not apply to any customary bridge facility so long as the long-term debt into which any such customary bridge facility is to be converted satisfies such clauses; provided further that (x) mandatory prepayments shall not be permitted to be applied to any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Equivalent Debt on a greater than pro rata basis relative to the initial Term Loans (except with respect to mandatory prepayments with the proceeds of Refinancing Facilities or Refinancing Notes) and (y) the covenants, events of default and guarantees of such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt, if not consistent with the terms of the corresponding Term Loans, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Borrower, when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term Loans unless (1) lenders under the Term Loan Facility also receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (2) such more restrictive terms apply after the maturity date of the initial Term Loan Facility; and

 
(2) in connection with any Incremental Revolving Loans, (a) the final stated maturity date for any Incremental Revolving Loans may be the same as or later (but not sooner) than the final stated maturity date applicable to the ABL Facility, (b) any Incremental Revolving Loans shall not be subject to (x) any mandatory prepayments other than those customary mandatory prepayments in connection with the Incremental Revolving Loans under any Incremental Revolving Facility exceeding the commitments thereunder or (y) any mandatory


B-6
    



 
commitment reductions or scheduled amortization payments and (c) the covenants, events of default and guarantees of any Incremental Revolving Loans shall not be materially more restrictive to the Borrower, when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term Loans.


 
Existing lenders under the Facilities may, but shall not be obligated to without their prior written consent, provide a commitment and/or make any loans pursuant to any Incremental Facility, and nothing contained herein constitutes, or shall be deemed to constitute, a commitment with respect to any Incremental Facility. The use of proceeds, if any, of any Incremental Facility will be as agreed by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility.

 
Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio” shall mean the ratio of (i) consolidated first lien net debt (consisting of indebtedness for borrowed money (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility), capitalized lease obligations, purchase money debt and drawn and unreimbursed letters of credit as reflected on the balance sheet of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries, in each case secured, in whole or in part, by first priority liens on the assets of the Borrower or any restricted subsidiary), minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (excluding for purposes of any calculation of the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio in connection with the incurrence of any indebtedness, the cash proceeds of such incurrence) to (ii) Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarter period for which financial statements have been delivered (or were required to have been delivered) pursuant to the Term Loan Facility Documentation.

The Term Loan Facility Documentation will permit the Borrower to refinance loans under the Term Loan Facility or any Incremental Term Facility or commitments under the Incremental Revolving Facility from time to time, in whole or part, with one or more new term facilities (each, a “Refinancing Term Facility”) or new revolving credit facilities (each a “Refinancing Revolving Facility” and, together with any Refinancing Term Facility, collectively, the “Refinancing Facilities”), respectively, under the Term Loan Facility Documentation solely with the consent of the Borrower and the institutions providing such Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility and with one or more additional series of senior unsecured notes or loans or senior secured notes or loans that will be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis with the Term Loan Facility (such notes or loans, “Refinancing Notes”); provided that (i) with respect to Refinancing Facilities or Refinancing Notes that are secured, customary intercreditor agreements are entered into which are reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and Term Loan Administrative Agent, (ii) any Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Notes do not mature prior to the maturity date of, or have a shorter weighted average life than, loans under the Term Loan Facility or Incremental Term Facility being refinanced (without giving effect to any amortization or prepayments on the outstanding Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable) or, with respect to any Refinancing Notes, have mandatory prepayment provisions (other than related to customary asset sale (or similar event) and change of control offers or prepayments and customary acceleration rights after an event of default) that would result in mandatory prepayment of such Refinancing Notes prior to the loans under the Term Loan Facility being refinanced (it being understood the Borrower shall be permitted to prepay or offer to purchase any first lien secured Refinancing Notes pursuant to the second paragraph of the “Mandatory Prepayments” section below), (iii) any Refinancing Revolving Facility does not mature prior to the maturity date of the revolving commitments being refinanced, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of any Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes shall not be greater than the aggregate principal amount of the applicable class under the Facilities being refinanced or replaced, plus any fees, premiums, original issue discount and accrued interest associated therewith and costs and expenses related thereto and such Facilities being refinanced or replaced will be permanently reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis concurrently with the issuance of such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes, (v) the Term Loan Facility Documentation will contain provisions providing for the pro rata treatment of the payment, borrowing, participation and commitment reduction of any Incremental Revolving Facility and any Refinancing Revolving Facility, (vi) any Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes, to the extent secured, shall not be secured by any lien on any asset of any Term Loan Loan Party that does not also secure the then outstanding applicable Term Loans, or be guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than the Term Loan Guarantors under the then outstanding Term Loans, (vii) the other terms and conditions of such Refinancing Facilities or




B-8
    



 
Refinancing Notes (excluding pricing, fees and optional prepayment or redemption terms which shall be determined in good faith by the Borrower) shall either, at the option of the Borrower, (x) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) or (y) if not consistent with the terms of the corresponding class under the Term Loan Facility, not be materially more restrictive to the Borrower, when taken as a whole, than the terms of the applicable class under the Term Loan Facility (or any revolving credit facility thereunder) being refinanced or replaced unless (1) the Term Lenders under the corresponding class under the Term Loan Facility also receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (2) any such provisions apply only after the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. In connection with any Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes, the Term Loan Facility Documentation will provide the Borrower the right to require the applicable Term Lenders or lenders in respect of any Incremental Facility to assign their loans and commitments to the providers of any such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes.

Mandatory Prepayments:

The Term Loans shall be prepaid with:

(a)
100% of the net cash proceeds from issuances of debt by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries (with appropriate exceptions for all permitted indebtedness (other than Refinancing Term Facilities and Refinancing Notes) and the Incremental Facilities);

(b)
for each fiscal year of the Borrower (beginning with the first full fiscal year following the Closing Date) 50% (with step-downs to 25% and 0% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than 0.50:1.00 and 1.00:1.00 inside the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date) of the Borrower’s annual excess cash flow (to be defined consistent with the Term Loan Documentation Principles (such definition to provide for a deduction from excess cash flow, without duplication among periods, of cash used (or to be used within a time period to be mutually agreed and consistent with the Term Loan Documentation Principles) to finance permitted acquisitions, other investments and capital expenditures (to the extent such amount are used or to be used within agreed upon time period for permitted acquisitions, other investments and capital expenditures, including any of the foregoing for which a binding agreement (or binding commitment) then exists and subject to reversal if such case is not so used within such agreed time period and to the extent not financed with long term debt proceeds) and for certain restricted payments, permitted tax distributions, scheduled payments of indebtedness and prepayments of other indebtedness, subject to limitation consistent with the Term Loan Documentation Principles, and to include a dollar-for-dollar credit for the following (to the extent not financed with long-term debt proceeds): (x) voluntary permanent prepayments of (i) the Term Loan Facility and any Incremental Term Facility, any Incremental Equivalent Debt, any Refinancing Notes and any Refinancing Term Facility, in each case that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Term Loan Facility (in each case, including any


B-9
    



 
debt buyback, but limited to the actual cash amount paid by Borrower in connection with such buyback) and (ii) the ABL Facility, any Incremental Revolving Facility, any Refinancing Revolving Facility and any revolving facility refinancing, replacing or extending any of the foregoing (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the relevant commitment) and (y) repayment of the ABL Loans made to account for any additional OID or upfront fees that are implemented pursuant to the “market flex” provisions of the Fee Letter; and

(c)
100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries (including casualty insurance and condemnation proceeds and to the extent not consummated prior to the Closing Date and the net proceeds thereof not applied to reduce pension liabilities on a dollar-for-dollar basis, dispositions in whole or in part of the retail business of the Target (collectively, the “Specified Disposition”), but with exceptions for ordinary course dispositions, dispositions of obsolete or worn-out property and property no longer used or useful in the business (other than the Specified Disposition) and other exceptions to be consistent with the Term Loan Facility Documentation) in excess of an individual and annual threshold amount to be agreed and (other than with respect to proceeds of the Specified Disposition) subject to a 100% reinvestment right if reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) within 18 months of such sale or disposition (or 24 months in the event a binding letter of intent is entered into within such 18-month period).

 
Mandatory prepayments shall be applied pro rata among classes of term loans, except that (i) the Borrower may direct that proceeds of Refinancing Term Facilities or Refinancing Notes shall be applied to the class or classes of term loans to be refinanced as selected by the Borrower and (ii) Incremental Term Facilities and Refinancing Term Facilities may participate in mandatory prepayments on a less than pro rata basis. Mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied to scheduled installments thereof in direct order of maturity (without premium or penalty); provided, that the Term Loan Facility Documentation shall provide that in the case of mandatory prepayments pursuant to clauses (b) or (c) above, a ratable portion of such mandatory prepayment may be applied to redeem, prepay or offer to purchase any Refinancing Notes or Incremental Equivalent Debt (collectively, “Additional Debt”), in each case secured on a pari passu basis with the Term Loan Facility and if required under the terms of the applicable documents governing such Additional Debt.


 
All prepayments referred to in clauses (a) through (c) above are subject to there being no adverse tax consequences and to permissibility under (i) local law (e.g., financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant subsidiaries) and (ii) material constituent document restrictions (including as a result of minority ownership by third parties)



B-10
    



 
and other material agreements (so long as any prohibition is not created in contemplation of such prepayment). The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a default or an event of default, and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries as long as not required to be prepaid in accordance with the following provisions. Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries will undertake to use reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions (subject to the considerations above and as determined in the Borrower’s reasonable business judgment) to make the relevant prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments required after application of the above provision shall be net of any costs, expenses or taxes incurred by the Borrower or any of its affiliates and arising as a result of compliance with the preceding sentence.

 
Any Term Lender under the Term Loan Facility may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment (other than with respect to Refinancing Notes and Refinancing Term Facilities) (each, a “Declining Term Loan Lender”). Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Term Loan Lender may be retained by the Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”).

Voluntary Prepayments:

Voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will be permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be mutually agreed upon between the Borrower and the Term Loan Administrative Agent consistent with the Term Loan Documentation Principles, without premium or penalty (except the Prepayment Premium referred to below), subject to reimbursement of the Term Lenders’ redeployment costs (other than lost profits) in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR Loans prior to the last day of the relevant interest period. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied to installments thereof as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity). All voluntary prepayments shall be applied to the class or classes of Term Loans as selected by the Borrower.

Prepayment Premium:

Voluntary prepayments and mandatory prepayments (or repricing or refinancing through any waiver, consent or amendment, including any mandatory assignment in connection therewith) of initial Term Loans made pursuant to clause (a) of the “Mandatory Prepayments” section of this Term Sheet prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date will be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.00% (the “Prepayment Premium”) of the principal amount prepaid, refinanced or amended to the extent constituting a Repricing Transaction. “Repricing Transaction” shall mean (i) any prepayment or repayment of initial Term Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion of initial Term Loans into, any new or replacement tranche of senior secured term loans under credit facilities the primary purpose of which is to reduce the all-in-yield applicable to the initial Term Loans and (ii) any amendment to the initial Term Loan Facility (or any exercise of any “yank-a-bank” rights in connection therewith) the primary purpose of which is to reduce the all-in-yield applicable to the initial Term Loans (with the all-in-yield, in each case, calculated in a manner consistent


B-11
    



 
with the MFN Adjustment); provided that such Prepayment Premium shall not apply if such refinancing or amendment is in connection with a “change of control” transaction, initial public offering or any transformative acquisition.

Term Loan Facility Documentation:

The definitive documentation with respect to the Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan Facility Documentation”) will be initially prepared by counsel to the Borrower based on a recent precedent to be agreed for a similarly-situated borrower in the syndicated term loan “B” market to be mutually agreed, will contain only those mandatory prepayments set forth above in this Term Sheet and representations, warranties, conditions to borrowing, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default set forth below in this Term Sheet, in each case applicable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries, with materiality thresholds, qualifications, exceptions, “baskets” and grace and cure periods to be mutually agreed, with changes and modifications that reflect the “market flex” provisions of the Fee Letter and shall be no less favorable (except as expressly set forth in this Exhibit B) to the Borrower and its subsidiaries than the Existing Term Facility (collectively, the “Term Loan Documentation Principles”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all leases of the Borrower, the Guarantors and the respective restricted subsidiaries of the Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantors that are or would be treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP as of the Signing Date shall be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of the defined financial terms, including “Capital Lease Obligations” under the Term Loan Facility Documentation regardless of any change to GAAP following such date which would otherwise require such leases to be treated as capital leases; provided that financial reporting shall not be affected thereby. The Term Loan Facility Documentation will contain customary European Union bail-in and Beneficial Ownership Regulation provisions and, to the extent applicable, Department of Labor lender regulatory representations. The Term Loan Facility Documentation shall be subject in all respects to the Certain Funds Provision.

B-16

The Term Loan Facility Documentation shall contain customary provisions consistent with the Term Loan Documentation Principles for replacing or terminating the commitments of (i) an insolvent Term Lender, (ii) a Lender failing to fund its commitment (a “Defaulting Lender”), (iii) a Lender seeking indemnity for increased costs or grossed-up tax payments and (iv) a Lender refusing to extend its commitment, in each case consistent with the Term Loan Documentation Principles.

 
In addition, the Term Loan Facility Documentation shall provide for the amendment (or amendment and restatement) of the Term Loan Facility Documentation to (a) add one or more additional or replacement credit facilities thereto and changes related thereto and (b) to provide for term loans replacing all or a portion of the Term Loans, subject to customary limitations, with only the consent of the Borrower and the lenders providing such replacement term loans and, in connection with any of the foregoing, the right of the Borrower to require the applicable Term Lenders to assign their Term Loans to the providers of any replacement credit facility or loans or to prepay their outstanding loans and terminate their commitments.

 
The Term Loan Facility Documentation will permit guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents to be amended and waived with the consent of the Term Loan Administrative Agent at the request of Borrower without the need for consent by any other Term Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order to (i) comply with local law or advice of local counsel or (ii) cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with or effectuate the credit agreement and the other Term Loan Facility Documentation. The Term Loan Administrative Agent shall be entitled (in its discretion) to extend any deadline for taking actions required to perfect security interests in collateral.

 
In addition, if the Term Loan Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error, defect or any error or omission of a technical nature in the Term Loan Facility Documentation, then the Term Loan Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision without further action or consent of any other party if such amendment is posted to the Lenders and Required Lenders (to be defined)


B-18
    



 
do not oppose such amendment within five business days of such posting.
Cost and Yield Protection:

Usual for facilities and transactions of this type (including mitigation provisions and to include Dodd-Frank and Basel III as changes in law) and consistent with the Term Loan Documentation Principles; provided that requests for such additional payments shall be limited to circumstances in which the applicable Lender is imposing such charges on other similarly situated borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities. The Term Loan Facility Documentation will contain customary tax gross-up provisions.

Assignments and Participations:

The Term Lenders will be permitted to assign loans and commitments with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (unless a payment or bankruptcy (with respect to the Borrower) event of default has occurred and is continuing or such assignment is to a Term Lender, an affiliate of a Term Lender or an approved fund of a Term Lender); provided that, with respect to the Term Loan Facility, the Borrower’s consent shall be deemed given if it fails to respond within fifteen business days; provided further that, no loans or commitments shall be assigned to Disqualified Institutions. Each assignment (except to other Term Lenders or their affiliates) will be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or will be the assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Term Lender’s Term Loans.

ANNEX I TO EXHIBIT B

Interest Rates:
The interest rates under the Term Loan Facility are set forth in the Fee Letter.

 
As used herein and in the Fee Letter:

Adjusted LIBOR” means the London interbank offered rate, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (and each Term Loan designated as such, an “Adjusted LIBOR Loan”); provided that Adjusted LIBOR shall be deemed to be no less than 0.00% per annum.

ABR” means the highest of (i) the rate the Term Loan Administrative Agent announces from time to time as its prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus 1/2 of 1% and (iii) Adjusted LIBOR plus 1% (and each Term Loan designated as such, an “ABR Loan”).

 
Adjusted LIBOR borrowings may be made for interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months and, if available to all relevant Term Lenders, a period shorter than one month or a period of 12 months, as selected by the Borrower.

 
Interest on Adjusted LIBOR Loans and all fees will be payable in arrears on the basis of a 360-day year, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans will be payable in arrears on the basis of a 365-day year (or a 366-day year in a leap year) calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed. Interest will be payable on Adjusted LIBOR Loans on the last day of the applicable interest period (or at the end of each three months, in the case of interest periods longer than three months) and upon prepayment, and on ABR Loans quarterly and upon prepayment.

 
If either (i) the Term Loan Administrative Agent determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary and/or (ii) the supervisor for the administrator of the London interbank offered rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Term Loan Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the London interbank offered rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Term Loan Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to “LIBOR” and 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 reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to the Term Loan Facility Documentation as may be applicable, which amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender unless the Term Loan Administrative Agent shall have received, within five business days of the date notice of such successor or alternative index rate is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

Default Rate:
Upon any payment or bankruptcy event of default, the interest rate will be,
 
 

#91120726v8    
#91297610v2



 
with respect to overdue principal, the applicable interest rate, plus 2.00% per annum and, with respect to any other overdue amount, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans, plus 2.00% per annum (other than to Defaulting Lenders). Interest on such overdue amounts will be payable upon written demand.
