It is understood and agreed that (x) BofAS shall have top left placement in any listing of the Lead Arrangers and (y) Bank of America shall act as administrative agent for the Term Facility (in such capacity, the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the commitments of the Initial Lenders with respect to the funding of the Term Facility will be subject only to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Initial Lenders) of the conditions precedent set forth in paragraph 5 hereof. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as specified therefor in Annexes I and II hereto (the Summary of Terms).
Except as set forth below, you agree that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter (as defined below) and the administrative agent fee letter between you and BofAML dated as of the date hereof (the Administrative Agent Fee Letter)) will be paid to any Lender in respect of the Term Facility unless you and we shall so agree; provided that you may, on or prior to the date which is 10 business days after the date of your acceptance of this Commitment Letter, appoint up to two additional joint bookrunners, arrangers, agents, co-agents, managers or co-managers (the Additional Arrangers) for the Term Facility, and award such Additional Arrangers titles in a manner and with economics set forth in the immediately succeeding proviso (it being understood that, to the extent you appoint any Additional Arranger or confer other titles in respect of the Term Facility, then, notwithstanding anything in paragraph 2 to the contrary, the commitments of the Initial Lenders in respect of the Term Facility, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with this proviso, will be permanently reduced by the amount of the commitments of such appointed entities (or their relevant affiliates) in respect of the Term Facility, with such reduction allocated to reduce the commitments of the Initial Lenders in respect of the Term Facility at such time (excluding any Initial Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to this proviso) on a pro rata basis according to the respective amounts of their commitments, upon the execution by such Additional Arranger (and any relevant affiliate) of customary joinder documentation and, thereafter, each such Additional Arranger (and any relevant affiliate) shall constitute a Commitment Party and/or Lead Arranger hereunder and it or its relevant affiliate providing such commitment shall constitute an Initial Lender hereunder); provided, further, that, in connection with the appointment of any Additional Arranger in accordance with the immediately preceding proviso, (a) the aggregate economics payable to all such Additional Arrangers (or any relevant affiliate thereof) in respect of the Term Facility shall not exceed 10% of the total underwriting economics payable to the Commitment Parties in respect of the Term Facility pursuant to the Fee Letter (exclusive of any fees payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such), (b) no Additional Arranger (or its relevant affiliates) shall
2
receive a greater percentage of the economics in respect of the Term Facility than BofAML and (c) each Additional Arranger (or its relevant affiliates) shall assume a proportion of the commitments with respect to the Term Facility that is equal to the proportion of the economics allocated to such Additional Arranger pursuant to customary joinder documentation executed by such Additional Arranger (and any relevant affiliate).
2. Syndication. The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication of the Term Facility promptly after your acceptance of the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Administrative Agent Fee Letter; provided that we agree not to syndicate our commitments to certain banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and any competitors (or Known Affiliates (as defined below) of competitors) of the Companies, in each case, that have been specified to us by you in writing prior to the date hereof (collectively, Disqualified Lenders); provided, further, that you, upon notice to us after the date hereof and prior to the launch of general syndication (or to the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date), shall be permitted to supplement in writing the list of persons that are Disqualified Lenders to the extent such supplemented person is or becomes a competitor or a Known Affiliate of a competitor of the Companies, which supplement shall be in the form of a list provided to us (or the Administrative Agent) and become effective upon delivery to us (or the Administrative Agent), but which supplement shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any parties that have previously acquired an assignment in the loans under the Term Facility. As used herein, Known Affiliates of any person means, as to such person, affiliates readily identifiable by name, but excluding any affiliate that is a bona fide debt fund or investment vehicle that is primarily engaged in, or that advises funds or other investment vehicles that are engaged in, making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, bonds or similar extensions of credit or securities in the ordinary course and with respect to which the Disqualified Lender does not, directly or indirectly, possess the power to direct or cause the direction of the investment policies of such entity. Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Initial Lenders commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect of, the Term Facility and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Term Facility constitute a condition to the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date. You agree, until the Syndication Date (as hereinafter defined), to actively assist the Lead Arrangers in achieving a syndication of the Term Facility that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you; provided that, notwithstanding each Lead Arrangers right to syndicate the Term Facility and receive commitments with respect thereto, it is agreed that (i) syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect of, all or any portion of an Initial Lenders commitments hereunder prior to the date of the consummation of the Merger and the date of the funding under the Term Facility shall not be a condition to such Initial Lenders commitments and (ii) (a) except as you in your sole discretion may otherwise agree in writing, no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Term Facility on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Term Facility, including its commitments in respect thereof, until after the funding of the Term Facility has occurred; (b) no assignment or novation shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of any Initial Lenders commitments in respect of the Term Facility until after the funding of the Term Facility; and (c) each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Term Facility, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred and the funding under the Term Facility has been made. Such assistance shall include (a) your providing and (subject to customary non-reliance agreements) causing your respective advisors to provide, the Lead Arrangers upon request with all customary and reasonably available information reasonably deemed necessary by the Lead Arrangers to complete such syndication, including, but not limited to, customary and reasonably available information relating to the Borrower, the Companies and the Transaction as may be reasonably requested by us (including the Projections (as hereinafter defined); (b) your assistance in the preparation of a customary information memorandum with respect to the Term Facility (an Information Memorandum) and other customary materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Term Facility (collectively with

(Moodys) and Standard & Poors Ratings Services, a Standard & Poors Financial Services LLC business (S&P) (collectively, the Ratings); and (g) until the later of the Syndication Date and the Closing Date, (x) with respect to XRAY only, ensuring that no debt securities or credit facilities of XRAY or any of its subsidiaries, and (y) with respect to TWOLF only, ensuring that no debt securities or credit facilities of TWOLF or any of its subsidiaries, is announced, syndicated or placed without the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such financing, syndication or placement would materially and adversely affect the primary syndication of the Term Facility (it being understood that borrowings under the existing revolving credit facility of the Companies, ordinary course capital lease, purchase money and equipment financings of any of the Companies and other indebtedness permitted to be outstanding or issued under the Merger Agreement shall be permitted). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transaction to the contrary, neither the obtaining of the Ratings referenced above nor the compliance with any of the other provisions set forth in clauses (a) through (g) above or any other provision of this paragraph shall constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Term Facility on the Closing Date.
It is understood and agreed that the Lead Arrangers will manage and control all aspects of the syndication of the Term Facility in consultation with you, including any titles offered to prospective Lenders (subject to your consent rights set forth herein and your rights of appointment set forth in paragraph 1 and excluding Disqualified Lenders), when commitments will be accepted and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of the fees among the Lenders. It is further understood that the Initial Lenders commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Term Facility and in no event shall the commencement of successful completion of syndication of the Term Facility constitute a condition to availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date.
3. Information Requirements. You hereby represent and warrant that (with respect to Information relating to XRAY and its subsidiaries and affiliates, to the knowledge of TWOLF, and, with respect to Information relating to TWOLF and its subsidiaries and affiliates, to the knowledge of XRAY) (a) all written factual information, other than Projections (as defined below), budgets, estimates and other forward-looking information or information of a general economic or industry nature, that has been or is hereafter made available to the Lead Arrangers or any of the Lenders by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives in connection with any aspect of the Transaction (the Information) when furnished to the Lead Arrangers is and will be correct when taken as a whole, in all material respects, and does not and will not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a fact or omit to state a fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading (in each case, after giving effect to all supplements and updates with respect thereto) and (b) all financial projections concerning the Borrower and the Companies that have been or are hereafter made available to the Lead Arrangers or any of the Lenders by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives (the Projections) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time provided to the Lead Arrangers (it being understood and agreed that the
4
Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts or a guarantee of performance or achievement, that the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, and that actual results may differ from the Projections and such differences may be material). You agree that if at any time prior to the later of (a) the earlier of (i) the date on which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) is achieved and (ii) 45 days following the Closing Date (the earlier of such dates, the Syndication Date) and (b) the Closing Date, any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented (with respect to Information relating to XRAY and its subsidiaries and affiliates, limited to the commercially reasonable efforts of TWOLF, and, with respect to Information relating to TWOLF and its subsidiaries and affiliates, limited to the commercially reasonable efforts of XRAY), the Information and Projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects at such time, it being understood in each case that such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representation and warranty. In issuing this commitment and in arranging and syndicating the Term Facility, the Commitment Parties are and will be using and relying on the Information and the Projections without independent verification thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph will constitute a condition to the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date.
You acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers on your behalf will make available, on a confidential basis, Information Materials to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the Platform) and (b) certain prospective Lenders (such Lenders, Public Lenders; all other Lenders, Private Lenders) may have personnel that do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws, MNPI) with respect to the Borrower, the Companies or the respective securities of any of the Borrower or the Companies, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such entities securities. If requested, you will assist the Lead Arrangers in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials not containing MNPI (the Public Information Materials) to be distributed to prospective Public Lenders.

In addition, you hereby agree that (x) you will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify (and, at the reasonable request of the Lead Arrangers or the Administrative Agent (or its affiliates), shall identify) that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders by clearly and conspicuously marking the same as PUBLIC; (y) all Information Materials marked PUBLIC are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated Public Investor; and (z) the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and its affiliates) shall be entitled to treat any Information Materials that are not marked PUBLIC as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated Public Investor.
You agree that, subject to the confidentiality and other provisions of this Commitment Letter, the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and its affiliates) on your behalf may distribute the following documents to all prospective Lenders, unless you advise the Lead Arrangers and Administrative Agent in
5
writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that such material should only be distributed to prospective Private Lenders (provided that such materials have been provided to you and your counsel for review a reasonable period of time prior thereto): (a) administrative materials for prospective Lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (b) notifications of changes to the terms of the Term Facility and (c) drafts approved in writing by you and the Administrative Agent (or its affiliates) and final versions of definitive documents with respect to the Term Facility.

Indemnified Party solely in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an Administrative Agent or as an arranger or similar role under the Term Facility). You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected by any Indemnified Party without your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or any other loss, claim, damage, liability and/or expense incurred in connection therewith but if any such Proceeding is settled with your written consent, or if there is a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party in the manner set forth above. In the case of any Proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such Proceeding is brought by any Company, any Companys equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any aspect of the Transaction is consummated. It is agreed that none of XRAY (or any of its subsidiaries), TWOLF (or any of its subsidiaries) or any Indemnified Party shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or with respect to any activities related to the Term Facility, including the preparation of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter and the Credit Documentation; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit your indemnification obligations herein to the extent such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third-party claim in connection with which such Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, other than for direct, actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party (or any of its Related Parties) as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. You shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission of liability. In case any Proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnified Party for which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party will promptly notify you of the commencement of any Proceedings. You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding affected without your written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with this Section. For purposes hereof, Related Party and Related Parties of any person shall mean any (or all, as the context requires) of such persons controlled affiliates and its or their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, agents, advisors and other representatives thereof.

There are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder, and there will be no conditions (implied or otherwise) under the Credit Documentation to the funding of the Term Facility on the Closing Date, other than those that are expressly referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.
Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, the Credit Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the
7
financing of the Transaction to the contrary, (a) the Credit Documentation shall be in a form such that the terms thereof do not impair availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date if the conditions in this paragraph 5 shall have been satisfied or waived by the Lead Arrangers (it being understood that to the extent any security interest in Collateral (including the creation or perfection of any security interest) (other than any Collateral the security interest in which may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement or the delivery of certificates, if any, evidencing equity interests of any material wholly-owned restricted domestic subsidiary of the Borrower that is part of the Collateral) is not perfected or provided on the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so without undue burden or expense, the provision and perfection of such Collateral and security interest shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date but shall be required to be perfected not later than 90 days (subject to extensions as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after the Closing Date pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed by the Borrower and Administrative Agent), and (b) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date shall be (x) such of the representations in the Merger Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that XRAY (or its affiliate) or TWOLF (or its affiliate) have the right (taking into account any applicable notice and cure provisions) to terminate their (and/or its) obligations under the Merger Agreement or decline to consummate the Merger (in each case, in accordance with the terms thereof) as a result of a breach of such representations in the Merger Agreement (to such extent, the Merger Agreement Representations) and (y) the Specified Representations (as defined below).

In addition, the Credit Documentation will contain carve outs for non-ECP Guarantors and customary QFC stay rules, in each case consistent with the LSTA provisions. All guarantees will be guarantees of payment and not of collection. | |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements in circumstances where the Borrower and the Administrative Agent reasonably agree that the cost of providing such a guarantee is excessive in relation to the value afforded thereby. |
Annex I-1
Administrative and Collateral Agent: | Bank of America will act as sole and exclusive administrative and collateral agent for the Lenders (the Administrative Agent). | |

Interest shall be payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. |

Documentation Standard: | The Credit Documentation for the Term Facility (i) shall be based upon the Existing XRAY Credit Agreement, as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, with appropriate modifications to baskets and materiality thresholds to reflect the size, industry, leverage and ratings of the Borrower after giving effect to the Merger, (ii) shall contain the terms and conditions set forth in this Summary of Terms, (iii) shall reflect the operational and strategic requirements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Merger) in light of their size, industries and practices and (iv) shall reflect the customary agency and operational requirements of the Administrative Agent (including without limitation ERISA provisions to be agreed) (collectively, the Documentation Standard), in each case, subject to the Funds Certain Provisions. The Credit Documentation shall, subject to the market flex provisions contained in the Fee Letter, contain only those conditions to borrowing, mandatory prepayments, representations and warranties, covenants and events of default expressly set forth in this Summary of Terms, in each case, applicable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries and, subject to the Documentation Standard and limitations as set forth herein, with materiality thresholds, standards, qualifications, exceptions, baskets, and grace and cure periods to be mutually agreed and consistent with the Documentation Standard. |
Annex I-6
Limited Condition Acquisitions: | For purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of the Credit Documentation which requires the calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio, (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, defaults or events of default or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in the Credit Documentation (including baskets measured as a percentage of EBITDA), in each case, in connection with an acquisition (or similar investment) by one or more of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries of any assets, business or person permitted to be acquired by the Credit Documentation, in each case whose consummation is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (any such acquisition, a Limited Condition Acquisition), at the option of the Borrower (the Borrowers election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an LCA 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 Acquisition are entered into (the LCA Test Date), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. | |
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations in pro forma EBITDA, including of the target of any Limited Condition Acquisition) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations; however, if any ratios improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. | ||
Financial Definitions: | The First Lien Net Leverage Ratio means the ratio of (i) debt for borrowed money of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries that is secured on a senior or pari passu basis with the Term Facility (calculated net of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries) to (ii) trailing four-quarter EBITDA (as defined below). |
Annex I-7
The Total Net Leverage Ratio means the ratio of (i) debt for borrowed money of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (calculated net of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries) to (ii) trailing four-quarter EBITDA. | ||
Undrawn letters of credit shall not constitute debt for purposes of calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio. | ||
EBITDA is to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Standard beginning with consolidated net income, with add-backs (and corresponding deductions, to the extent applicable) to include, without limitation and without duplication, the following: | ||
i. expected cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and synergies related to the Transaction projected by the Borrower; | ||
ii. expected cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and synergies related to mergers and other business combinations, acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring, cost savings initiatives which are factually supportable and other similar initiatives projected by the Borrower; | ||
iii. non-cash losses, charges and expenses (including non-cash compensation charges); | ||
iv. extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring losses, charges and expenses; | ||
v. cash restructuring and related charges and business optimization expenses; | ||
vi. unrealized gains and losses due to foreign exchange adjustments (including, without limitation, losses and expenses in connection with currency and exchange rate fluctuations); | ||
vii. costs and expenses in connection with the Transaction; | ||
viii. expenses or charges related to any equity offering, permitted investment, acquisition, disposition, recapitalization or incurrence of permitted indebtedness (whether or not consummated), including non-operating or non-recurring professional fees, costs and expenses related thereto; | ||
ix. interest, taxes, amortization and depreciation; and | ||
x. losses from discontinued operations. | ||
Scheduled Amortization: | The Term Facility shall be subject to quarterly amortization of principal equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility, commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date, with the balance payable on the final maturity date. |
Annex I-8
Mandatory Prepayments: | In addition to the amortization set forth above and subject to the next two paragraphs, mandatory prepayments required with respect to the Term Facility shall be limited to: (i) subject to customary exceptions and thresholds (with exceptions for, among others, ordinary course dispositions, dispositions of obsolete or worn-out property, property no longer used or useful in the business and other exceptions to be mutually agreed), an amount equal to 100% (with step-downs to 25% at a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio no greater than 0.50x inside the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date and 0% at a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio no greater than 1.00x inside the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date) of the amount of net cash proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries in excess of an amount to be mutually agreed (and only in respect of amounts in excess thereof) from any disposition of assets outside the ordinary course of business or casualty event by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent such proceeds are not reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in the business of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries within twelve months after the date of receipt of such proceeds from such disposition or casualty event and, if so committed to be reinvested, reinvested no later than 180 days after the end of such twelve month period; (ii) following the receipt of net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence after the Closing Date of additional debt of the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries (other than debt permitted under the Credit Documentation (other than Refinancing Indebtedness)); and (iii) in an amount equal to 50% of annual Excess Cash Flow (to be defined in the Credit Documentation) of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries for each fiscal year of the Borrower (beginning with the first full fiscal year commencing after the Closing Date), with step downs to 25% at a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio no greater than 0.50x inside the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date and 0% at a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio no greater than 1.00x inside the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date, of the Borrower (with a dollar-for-dollar credit for optional prepayments of the Term Facility subsequent to the first day of the relevant year other than to the extent financed with long-term debt); provided that no mandatory prepayment shall be required with respect to any fiscal year pursuant to this clause (iii) to the extent such prepayment would not exceed $10 million, in each case of clauses (i) through (iii), subject to the limitations set forth in the paragraph immediately following, such amounts shall be applied, without premium or penalty, to the remaining amortization payments under the Term Facility in direct order of maturity. | |
Any Lender under the Term Facility may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment other than a prepayment made with the proceeds of a Refinancing Debt (each a Declining Lender). Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Lender may be retained by the Borrower (such amount, a Declined Amount) and shall increase the Available Amount Basket (as defined below). |
Annex I-9
Mandatory prepayments in clauses (i) and (iii) above shall be limited to the extent the upstreaming or transfer of such amounts from a foreign subsidiary to the Borrower or any other applicable subsidiary would result in material adverse tax consequences until such time as the Borrower or its applicable subsidiary may upstream or transfer such amounts and shall be subject to permissibility under local law of upstreaming proceeds (including financial assistance and corporate benefit restrictions and fiduciary and statutory duties of the relevant directors). The non-application of any mandatory 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 subsidiaries. | ||
Optional Prepayments: | The Term Facility may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, upon written notice, at the option of the Borrower, except (x) that any prepayment of LIBOR advances other than at the end of the applicable interest periods therefor shall be made with customary reimbursement for any funding losses and redeployment costs (but not loss of margin) of the Lenders resulting therefrom and (y) as set forth in Soft-Call Premium below. Each optional prepayment of the Term Facility shall be applied as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof). | |
Soft-Call Premium: | In the event that all or any portion of the Term Facility is (i) repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced with any broadly syndicated term loan B indebtedness with the primary purpose (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) of reducing the effective yield (to be defined in a mutually agreeable manner) of such Term Facility or (ii) repriced through any waiver, consent or amendment that has the primary purpose (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) of reducing the effective yield of the Term Facility (a Repricing Transaction), in each case, prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date and other than in connection with (x) a change of control, (y) a material disposition or a material acquisition or other similar material investment or (z) any other transaction not otherwise permitted by the Credit Documentation, such repayment, prepayment, refinancing, replacement or repricing will be accompanied by a premium of 1% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced. If all or any portion of the Term Facility held by any Lender is required to be assigned pursuant to a yank-a-bank provision in the Credit Documentation as a result of, or in connection with a Repricing Transaction prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent or amendment referred to in clause (ii) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction), such replacement will be accompanied by a premium equal to 1% of the principal amount so required to be assigned. | |
Security: | Subject to the Funds Certain Provisions, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors shall grant the Administrative Agent (for its benefit and for the |
Annex I-10
benefit of the Lenders) a first-priority (subject to permitted liens and other customary exceptions) security interest in (i) 100% of the equity interests held by the Borrower and the Guarantors (but limited in the case of the voting equity interests of any first-tier CFC or Disregarded Domestic Person, to 65% of such voting equity interests (and 100% of any non-voting equity interests) and none of the equity interests of any subsidiary thereof), (ii) substantially all material owned real property of the Borrower and the Guarantors located in the United States and (iii) substantially all other personal property of the Borrower and the Guarantors, including, without limitation, contracts, patents, copyrights, trademarks, other general intangibles and all proceeds of the foregoing, in each case, excluding the Excluded Assets (as defined below) (collectively, but excluding the Excluded Assets (as defined below), the Collateral). | ||
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Collateral shall exclude the following: (i) any fee-owned real property located outside the United States or with a fair market value of less than an amount to be agreed (with all required mortgages being permitted to be delivered post-closing) and all leasehold interests in real property (it being understood there shall be no requirement to obtain any survey, landlord or other third party waivers, estoppels or collateral access letters); (ii) motor vehicles, aircrafts and other assets subject to certificates of title (except to the extent perfection can be accomplished through the filing of UCC-1 financing statements); (iii) letter of credit rights (except to the extent perfection can be accomplished through the filing of UCC-1 financing statements) and commercial tort claims with a value of less than an amount to be agreed; (iv) pledges and security interests prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation (including the requirement to obtain consent of any governmental authority) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition; (v) equity interests in any person other than wholly-owned subsidiaries to the extent not permitted by the terms of such persons organizational or joint venture documents after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition; (vi) any lease, permit, license or other agreement or any property subject to a purchase money security interest or other arrangement to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate or invalidate such lease, permit, license or agreement or arrangement or create a right of termination in favor of, or require the consent of, any other party thereto (other than the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition; (vii) those assets as to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower reasonably agree that the cost of obtaining such a security interest or perfection thereof are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of |
Annex I-11
the security to be afforded thereby; (viii) voting equity interests in excess of 65% of any first tier CFC or Disregarded Domestic Person; (ix) any of the equity interests of a subsidiary of a CFC or Disregarded Domestic Person; (x) any governmental licenses or state or local franchises, charters and authorizations, to the extent security interests in such licenses, franchises, charters or authorizations are prohibited or restricted thereby after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code; (xi) intent-to-use trademark or service mark applications; (xii) (a) payroll and other employee wage and benefit accounts, (b) sales tax accounts, (c) escrow accounts for the benefit of unaffiliated third parties, and (d) fiduciary or trust accounts for the benefit of unaffiliated third parties, and, in the case of clauses (a) through (d), the funds or other property held in or maintained in any such account in each case, other than to the extent perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement or are proceeds of Collateral (collectively, the Excluded Accounts); (xiii) any acquired property (including property acquired through acquisition or merger of another entity) if at the time of such acquisition the granting of a security interest therein or the pledge thereof is prohibited by any contract or other agreement (in each case, not created in contemplation thereof) to the extent and for so long as such contract or other agreement prohibits such security interest or pledge after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition; (xiv) equity interests issued by, or assets of, unrestricted subsidiaries, immaterial subsidiaries, not for profit subsidiaries, special purpose entities and captive insurance subsidiaries; (xv) margin stock, and (xvi) other exceptions to be mutually agreed upon (the foregoing described in clauses (i) through (xvi) are, collectively, the Excluded Assets). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be required, nor shall the Administrative Agent be authorized, (i) to perfect the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages by any means other than by (A) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the office of the secretary of state (or similar central filing office) of the relevant state(s) and filings in the applicable real estate records with respect to mortgaged properties constituting Collateral or any fixtures relating to mortgaged properties constituting Collateral, (B) filings in United States government offices with respect to intellectual property as expressly required in the Credit Documentation, (C) delivery to the Administrative Agent for its possession of all Collateral consisting of material intercompany notes, stock (or equivalent) certificates of material wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries and material instruments issued to the Borrower or a Guarantor (excluding Excluded Assets) or (D) mortgages in respect of fee-owned real property located in the United States (excluding Excluded Assets) with a fair market value in excess of an amount to be mutually agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case as expressly required in the Credit Documentation and subject to limitations and restrictions in respect of flood provisions to be agreed in accordance with the internal flood policies and procedures of the Administrative Agent, (ii) other than as set forth in clause (C) of this |
Annex I-12
paragraph, to perfect security interests in any Collateral (including deposit accounts and other bank or securities accounts, etc.) through control agreements or perfection by control or (iii) to take any action outside the United States with respect to any assets titled or located outside the United States. All the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages shall be created on terms, and pursuant to documentation, subject to the Documentation Standard and the Funds Certain Provisions and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Assets will be excluded from the Collateral in circumstances to be agreed and in circumstances where the Administrative Agent reasonably determines in consultation with the Borrower that the cost of obtaining a security interest in such assets is excessive in relation to the value afforded thereby, and in any event such exclusions shall include vehicles, trust, payroll and escrow accounts, certain leasehold interests in real property (except as noted above), assets subject to capital leases and purchase money arrangements, cash which secures permitted letters of credit, assets held in jurisdictions outside the U.S. (solely to the extent action would be required in such other jurisdictions to obtain such security interests) and assets sold in accordance with the Credit Documentation. | ||

(c) Financial Covenants: None. | ||
Unrestricted Subsidiaries: | The Credit Documentation will contain provisions pursuant to which, so long as no event of default is continuing, the Borrower will be permitted to designate any existing or subsequently acquired or organized subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary and subsequently re-designate any such unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary; provided, that (i) the designation of a restricted subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary or redesignation of an unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary shall |
Annex I-16
be subject to customary conditions and (ii) (x) such designation of a restricted subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary shall be deemed to constitute an investment (or reduction in an outstanding investment in the case of a designation of an unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary in an amount equal to the fair market value thereof) and (y) any re-designation of an unrestricted subsidiary to a restricted subsidiary shall be deemed to be an incurrence of indebtedness and liens of such subsidiary existing at such time.

Waivers and Amendments: | Amendments and waivers of the provisions of the Credit Documentation will require the approval of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Term Facility (the Required Lenders), except that (a) the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby will also be required with respect to (i) increases in commitment amount of such Lender, (ii) reductions of principal, interest, or fees payable to such Lender (other than waivers of default interest, a default or event of default or mandatory prepayment); provided that any change in the definitions of any ratio used in the calculation of any rate of interest or fees (or the component definitions) shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees, (iii) extensions of scheduled maturities or times for payment of amounts payable to such Lender (it being understood and agreed that the amendment or waiver of any mandatory prepayment, waiver of default interest, default or event of default shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders) and (iv) changes in certain pro rata provisions and the waterfall from enforcement and (b) the consent of each Lender shall be required with respect to (i) releases of all or substantially all of the Collateral or the release of all or substantially all of the value of any guaranties (other than in connection with permitted asset sales, dispositions, mergers, liquidations or dissolutions or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Documentation) and (ii) the percentage contained in the definition of Required Lenders or other voting provisions. |
Annex I-18
In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a Proposed Change) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (but the consent of the Required Lenders or Lenders holding more than 50% of the directly and adversely affected facility, as applicable, is obtained) (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a Non-Consenting Lender), then the Borrower may, at its option and at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to customary restrictions on assignment), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Credit Documentation to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that, such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts then due and owing to it under the Credit Documentation (at the option of the Borrower, with respect to the class or classes of loans or commitments subject to such Proposed Change) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). The Credit Documentation shall contain other customary yank-a-bank provisions. | ||

Annex II-3
ANNEX III
SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE2
[ ], 2020
This SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE (this Certificate) is delivered in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of [ ], 2020 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated, replaced, or otherwise modified from time to time, the Credit Agreement) among XRAY-TWOLF HoldCo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Borrower), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders and the other parties thereto. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.
In my capacity as the [chief financial officer/equivalent officer] of the Borrower, and not in my individual or personal capacity (and without personal liability), I hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower that as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the Transactions and the incurrence of indebtedness and obligations incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and the Transactions on the date hereof that:
1. Company (as used herein Company means the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole) is not now, nor will the incurrence of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the consummation of the Merger on the Closing Date (and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of the Loans), on a pro forma basis, render Company insolvent as defined in this paragraph; in this context, insolvent means that (i) the fair value of assets (on a going concern basis) of the Company is less than the amount that will be required to pay the total liability on existing debts as they become absolute and matured, (ii) the present fair salable value of assets (on a going concern basis) of the Company is less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on existing debts as they become absolute and matured in the ordinary course of business, or (iii) the Company ceases to pay its current obligations in the ordinary course of business as they generally become due, or (iv) the Companys aggregate property is not, at a fair valuation, sufficient, or if disposed of at a fairly conducted sale under legal process, would not be, sufficient to enable payment of all obligations, due and accruing due. The term debts as used in this Certificate includes any legal liability, whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute, fixed or contingent and values of assets shall mean the amount of which the assets (both tangible and intangible) in their entirety would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under compulsion to act.
2. The incurrence of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the consummation of the other Transactions on the Closing Date (and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of the Loans), on a pro forma basis, will not leave Company with property remaining in its hands constituting unreasonably small capital. I understand that unreasonably small capital depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion
2 | Defined terms to be aligned with those in the definitive Credit Agreement, but consistent with this form of solvency certificate. |
Annex III-1
based on my current assumptions regarding the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the businesses conducted or anticipated to be conducted by Company in light of projected financial statements and available credit capacity, which current assumption I do not believe to be unreasonable in light of the circumstances applicable thereto.
Annex III-2
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Solvency Certificate in such undersigneds capacity as an officer of the Borrower, on behalf of the Borrower, and not individually, as of the date first above written.
