Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The transaction value was calculated as the sum of (a) 161,222,377 shares of common stock multiplied by the merger consideration of $29.35 per share; (b) the product of (i)
71,657 shares of common stock subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding options with exercise prices less than $29.35 per share, multiplied by (ii) $15.15 (which is the difference between $29.35 and the weighted average exercise price
per share of common stock of $14.20); (c) 1,774,520 shares of common stock issuable upon settlement of Company RSUs multiplied by the merger consideration of $29.35 per share; (d) 2,104,186 shares of common stock issuable upon settlement of
Company PSUs multiplied by the merger consideration of $29.35 per share (assuming the target achievement of the performance goals applicable to such award, and assuming the satisfaction of all other conditions to such delivery); and (e)
54,400 shares of common stock issuable upon settlement of Director RSUs multiplied by the merger consideration of $29.35 per share.

All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Commitment Letter to which this summary is attached.
|
Purpose:
|
First Lien Term Facility: Proceeds of the First Lien Term Facility will be used on the Closing
Date (i) to pay costs in connection with the Transactions, (ii) to pay the Acquisition consideration, (iii) to finance the Refinancing and (iv) to the extent of any remaining amounts, for working capital and other general corporate
purposes.
First Lien Revolving Facility: The First Lien Revolving Facility may be used (x) on the Closing
Date as provided under “Availability” below and (y) following the Closing Date for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including restricted payments, permitted acquisitions and other investments).
|
Maturity Date:
|
First Lien Term Facility: Seven years from the Closing Date (the “Term Maturity Date”).
First Lien Revolving Facility: Five years from the Closing Date (the “Revolving Maturity Date”
and, together with the Term Maturity Date, the “Maturity Dates”).
|
Availability:
|
First Lien Term Facility: Upon satisfaction or waiver of the Specified Conditions, a single
drawing may be made on the Closing Date of the First Lien Term Facility. Amounts borrowed under the First Lien Term Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
First Lien Revolving Facility: Upon satisfaction or waiver of conditions set forth under
“Conditions to Each Borrowing” below, borrowings may be made at any time after the Closing Date to but excluding the business day preceding the Revolving Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon satisfaction or waiver of the
Specified Conditions, borrowings may be made and Letters of Credit may be issued on the Closing Date to (i) cash collateralize, replace or back-stop existing letters of credit of the Company, (ii) fund the amount of any original issue
discount or upfront fees imposed pursuant to the “market flex” provisions of the Fee Letter and (iii) pay the Acquisition consideration, fund the Refinancing and/or pay costs in connection with the Transaction (including purchase price and
working capital adjustments) and for other general corporate purposes, in an amount not to exceed, with respect to this clause (iii), an amount to be agreed (provided such amount shall not be less than $50 million).
|
Letters of Credit:
|
Up to an amount to be agreed of the First Lien Revolving Facility shall be available for the issuance of letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) by the Issuing
Banks. Maturities for Letters of Credit will not exceed 12 months (or 180 days in the case of trade Letters of Credit), and, in any event, shall not extend beyond the fifth business day prior to the maturity of the First Lien Revolving
Facility (unless cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the First Lien Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank); provided that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue
any documentary, commercial or trade letters of credit; provided further that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letters of Credit in excess of its pro rata share of the Letter of Credit
sublimit (with such pro rata share of such Issuing Bank’s percentage of the Letter of Credit sublimit being equal to such Issuing Bank’s (or its affiliate’s) pro rata portion of the commitments for the First Lien Revolving Facility on the
Closing Date; provided, however, that any standby Letter of Credit may provide for renewal thereof for additional periods of up to 12 months (which in no
event shall extend beyond the date referred to above unless cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the First Lien Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank). The face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit
will reduce availability under the First Lien Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Lender under the First Lien Revolving Facility shall acquire an irrevocable and unconditional pro rata participation in all Letter of Credit
outstandings. Any Lender may elect to become an Issuing Bank, and any Issuing Bank may agree unilaterally to increase its commitment to issue Letters of Credit.
If any Letter of Credit is drawn, a Base Rate borrowing will be automatically made under the First Lien Revolving Facility in the amount drawn and funded to the
applicable Issuing Bank. Such borrowing shall occur without a borrowing notice, making of representations, or satisfaction of other borrowing conditions, but subject to absence of any default or event of default. To the extent that the
Issuing Bank is not timely reimbursed for any drawn Letter of Credit, Borrower shall promptly reimburse the Issuing Bank. The Lenders under the First Lien Revolving Facility shall be irrevocably obligated to fund their pro rata participations
in any drawn Letter of Credit which is not timely reimbursed to the applicable Issuing Bank.
Letters of Credit under the First Lien Revolving Facility will be available in U.S. Dollars and any other currency that is approved by the applicable Issuing Bank.
The issuance of Letters of Credit shall be subject to the customary policies and procedures of the applicable Issuing Bank.
|
Defaulting Lenders:
|
The First Lien Facility Documentation will include customary provisions relating to Defaulting Lenders (to be defined in a customary manner to be mutually agreed).
|
Interest:
|
At Borrower’s option, loans will bear interest based on the Base Rate or LIBOR, as described below:
|
A. Base Rate Option
|
|
Interest for borrowings based on Base Rate will be at the Base Rate plus the applicable Interest Margin, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or when calculated by
reference to the “prime rate”, 365/366 days) and payable quarterly in arrears. The “Base Rate” is defined, for any day, as a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of 1%, (ii) the prime commercial lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, from time to time, (iii) LIBOR (as set forth below) for an interest period of one-month beginning on such day plus 1%
and (iv) 1.00% per annum (or, in the case of the First Lien Term Facility, 1.75% per annum).
|
|
Base Rate borrowings will be in minimum amounts to be agreed upon and will require one business day’s prior notice, except that Base Rate borrowings may be funded on the same business day notice is received if
notice is received prior to a time to be agreed upon.
|
|
B. LIBOR Option
|
|
Interest for borrowings based on LIBOR will be determined for periods to be selected by Borrower (“Interest Periods”) of one, two, three or six months (or twelve months or a lesser period if agreed to by
all relevant Lenders) and will be at an annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for the corresponding deposits of U.S. dollars, plus the applicable Interest Margin; provided
that (i) the initial interest period may be less than one month and (ii) LIBOR for purposes of calculating interest on any loan under the First Lien Facilities shall be deemed to be not less than 0.00% per annum (or, in the case of the First
Lien Term Facility, 0.75% per annum). LIBOR will be determined by the First Lien Administrative Agent at the start of each Interest Period and will be fixed through such period. Interest will be paid at the end of each Interest Period or, in
the case of Interest Periods longer than three months, at the end of each three-month period, and will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. LIBOR will be adjusted for maximum statutory
reserve requirements (if any).
|
|
LIBOR borrowings will require three business days’ prior notice (or such lesser notice as the First Lien Administrative Agent may agree in its discretion) and will be in minimum amounts to be agreed upon. The
First Lien Facility Documentation will include successor LIBOR provisions to be agreed.
|
|
Interest Margins:
|
The Interest Margins applicable to the First Lien Term Facility will be 375 basis points for LIBOR loans and 275 basis points for Base Rate loans, with two 25 basis
points step-downs at First Lien Leverage Ratios to be agreed (which step-downs shall not apply until the Restrictions End Date).
The Interest Margins applicable to the First Lien Revolving Facility will be 375 basis points for LIBOR loans and 275 basis points for Base Rate loans, with two 25
basis points step-downs at First Lien Leverage Ratios to be agreed (which step-downs shall not apply prior to the Restrictions End Date).
|
“First Lien Leverage Ratio” and other financial terms used herein shall have the meanings defined in Exhibit A to this Annex I.
|
Default Interest and Fees:
|
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a bankruptcy or payment event of default, overdue principal, interest and other overdue amounts shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal on any loan, at a rate of 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to the loans and (ii) in the case of any other overdue outstanding amount, at a rate of 2.0% per annum plus the
non-default interest rate then applicable to Base Rate loans, and will be payable on demand.
|
Commitment Fee:
|
A commitment fee shall accrue on the unused amounts of the commitments under the First Lien Revolving Facility (the “Commitment Fee”). Such Commitment Fee will be 0.50% per annum, with a step-down
following the Restrictions End Date to 0.25% at a First Lien Leverage Ratio to be agreed. Accrued Commitment Fees shall accrue from the Closing Date and will be payable quarterly in arrears (calculated on a 360-day basis) and on the date of
termination of commitments. No Commitment Fee shall be payable to Defaulting Lenders.
|
Letter of Credit Fees:
|
Borrower will pay (i) the Issuing Banks a fronting fee in an amount per annum to be agreed (not to exceed 0.125%) and (ii) the non-Defaulting Lenders under the First Lien Revolving Facility letter of credit
participation fees equal to the Interest Margin for LIBOR Loans under the First Lien Revolving Facility, in each case, on the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit. In addition, Borrower will pay the Issuing Banks’ customary
issuance, amendment and other fees relating to Letters of Credit.
|
Amortization:
|
First Lien Term Facility: The First Lien Term Facility will amortize in equal quarterly
installments in annual amounts equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Term Facility (commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ended after the Closing Date), with the balance payable on the Term
Maturity Date.
First Lien Revolving Facility: None.
|
Mandatory Prepayments:
|
The First Lien Term Facility shall be prepaid (without premium or penalty) in an amount equal to (a) 100% of the net cash proceeds (with, except in the case of the sale of certain assets separately agreed with
the Commitment Parties (a “Specified Disposition”), step-downs to 50% and 0% (which stepdowns shall not apply until the Restrictions End Date) at First Lien Leverage Ratios of 0.50x inside the Closing Date First Lien Leverage Ratio and
1.00x inside the Closing Date First Lien Leverage Ratio, respectively) received after the Closing Date from Dispositions (to be defined to include casualty (excluding business interruption insurance), condemnation and non-ordinary course
asset sales, subject to customary thresholds and exceptions to be agreed) by any Company, excluding, except in the case of a Specified Disposition and to the extent separately agreed with JPMCB, amounts reinvested in the business of Borrower
or any of its subsidiaries within 12 months of such Disposition (or if committed to be reinvested within such 12 months, reinvested within 18 months of such Disposition); provided that any proceeds of a Specified Disposition shall be applied
to repay Initial Term Loans and Second Lien Term Loans on a pro rata basis, (b) 100% of the net proceeds received by any Company from the issuance of debt or disqualified preferred stock after the Closing Date, to the extent not permitted
under the First Lien Facility Documentation or consisting of proceeds of Refinancing Facilities or Other Refinancing Debt, and (c) commencing with the first full fiscal year ending after the Closing Date, 50% of Excess Cash Flow (to be
defined in a manner to be mutually agreed upon consistent with the Documentation Principles) in excess of a threshold to be agreed, subject to step-downs to 25% and 0% at pro forma First Lien Leverage Ratios of 0.50x inside the Closing Date
First Lien Leverage Ratio and 1.00x inside the Closing Date First Lien Leverage Ratio, respectively. Except to the extent financed with proceeds of long-term debt, (i) Excess Cash Flow shall be reduced by, among other things, (a) cash
repayments, redemptions and repurchases of non-revolving debt, (b) acquisitions, certain investments and capitalized expenditures made in cash and amounts committed in respect thereof to be extended in the succeeding fiscal year and (c) cash
expenditures not reducing net income and (ii) without duplication of the foregoing, the Excess Cash Flow prepayment amount shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by voluntary prepayments or permitted repurchases of the First Lien
Facilities and First Lien Incremental Facilities (including any prepayment of the First Lien Revolving Facility or First Lien Incremental Revolving Facility to the extent accompanied by permanent reductions of the commitments thereunder), in
each case to the extent cash is used to pay the principal amount thereof.
|
Additionally, recognition of Excess Cash Flow attributable to, and proceeds of any Disposition by, a non-U.S. restricted subsidiary shall be deferred to the extent
that (and for so long as) such amounts have not been distributed to a U.S. subsidiary and Borrower has determined in good faith that such distribution would (i) be prohibited or delayed by applicable local law or (ii) have a material adverse
tax consequence.
Any Lender may elect not to accept any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to clause (a) (other than with respect to any Specified Disposition) or (c) above (each a
“Declining Lender”). Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Lender shall then be offered to the lenders under the Second Lien Term Facility and, if also declined by the lenders thereunder, such prepayment amount may be retained
by Borrower and shall be added to the Available Amount (as defined below) (such amount, “Declined Proceeds”).
|
Optional Prepayments:
|
Voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the First Lien Revolving Facility commitments and prepayments of borrowings under the First Lien Facilities will
be permitted at any time (subject to customary notice requirements), in minimum principal amounts to be mutually agreed upon, without premium or penalty, subject to (x) reimbursement of the Lenders’ usual and customary breakage costs actually
incurred (excluding loss of profit) in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period and (y) the “soft call” premium provision described in the next paragraph.
Borrower shall pay a “prepayment premium” in connection with any Repricing Event (as defined below) with respect to all or any portion of Initial Term Loans that
occurs prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date (or, if later, the Marketing Benchmark Date), in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of Initial Term Loans subject to such Repricing Event. The term “Repricing
Event” shall mean (i) any prepayment of Initial Term Loans from proceeds of any new or replacement tranche of term loans and (ii) any amendment to the First Lien Term Facility (and any mandatory assignment in connection therewith), in
each case, if the primary purpose of such refinancing or amendment is to reduce the all-in yield applicable to Initial Term Loans (calculated as described in the “MFN Requirement” below); provided,
for the avoidance of doubt, that a Repricing Event shall not include any amendment, prepayment, conversion or repricing made in connection with a change of control, initial public offering, dividend
recapitalization, a Transformative Transaction or certain other material transactions to be agreed). For purposes of the foregoing, “Transformative Transaction” shall mean any acquisition, investment or disposition by Holdings,
Borrower or any restricted subsidiary that is either (a) not permitted by the terms of the First Lien Facilities immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition, investment or disposition or (b) if permitted by the terms of the
First Lien Facilities immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition, investment or disposition, would not provide Holdings, Borrower and their restricted subsidiaries with adequate flexibility under the First Lien Facilities for
the continuation and/or expansion of their combined operations following such consummation, as determined by Holdings acting in good faith.
|
Application of Prepayments:
|
Prepayments of the First Lien Term Facility will be applied to the remaining amortization payments under the First Lien Term Facility as directed by Borrower. Prepayments of the First Lien Revolving Facility
shall be applied in the manner specified by Borrower.
|
First Lien Incremental Facilities:

The First Lien Facility Documentation will permit Borrower following the Restrictions End Date to add one or more incremental first lien term loan facilities to the
First Lien Term Facility either as a separate tranche or a fungible increase to an existing tranche (each, a “First Lien Incremental Term Facility” and collectively, the “First Lien Incremental Term Facilities”) and/or increase
commitments under the First Lien Revolving Facility (each, a “First Lien Incremental Revolving Facility” and collectively, the “First Lien Incremental Revolving Facilities”; the First Lien Incremental Term Facilities and the
First Lien Incremental Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to herein as “First Lien Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the Incremental Cap (as defined below) when combined with any First Lien
Incremental Equivalent Debt (as defined below and, together with the First Lien Incremental Facilities, “First Lien Incremental Debt”) Second Lien Incremental Debt and Second Lien Incremental Equivalent Debt (as defined in the Second
Lien Term Sheet, and together with the First Lien Incremental Debt, the “Incremental Debt”). First Lien Incremental Facilities may be provided by existing Lenders or Eligible Assignees (each an “Incremental Lender”), but no
Lender will be required to participate in any First Lien Incremental Facility.
The terms of any First Lien Incremental Term Facility shall be as agreed by Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders, provided that (i) any First Lien
Incremental Debt incurred in reliance on the Incurrence Incremental Amount in an amount that exceeds an amount to be agreed, issued within six months after the Closing Date and maturing earlier than two (2) years after the Term Maturity Date
shall comply with the MFN Requirement (defined below), (ii) other than Permitted Short-Term Incremental Debt (defined below), the maturity date and weighted average life to maturity of any First Lien Incremental Term Facility shall be no
earlier or shorter, respectively, than the maturity date and weighted average life to maturity of the initial First Lien Term Facility (determined without giving effect to any prepayments that reduce amortization) and (iii) covenants and
events of default shall be no more restrictive than the comparable provisions in the First Lien Facility Documentation, except (A) if the more restrictive terms also benefit the initial First Lien Term Facility and the First Lien Revolving
Facility or are not effective until after the Term Maturity Date, or (B) to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the First Lien Administrative Agent. Any First Lien Incremental Term Facility may provide for the ability to participate (on
not more than a pro rata basis) in any prepayments of the term loans under the First Lien Term Facility.
Each First Lien Incremental Revolving Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the First Lien Revolving Facility (including the final
maturity date thereof); provided that the applicable margins applicable thereto may be increased if necessary to be consistent with that for the First Lien Incremental Revolving Facility.
Obligations under any First Lien Incremental Facility shall constitute pari passu secured, junior secured or unsecured
obligations under the First Lien Facility Documentation, guaranteed by the Guarantees and, to the extent secured, co-secured by the liens on the Collateral granted under the First Lien Facility Documentation, on an equal and ratable or junior
basis. The First Lien Facility Documentation shall be amended to give effect to borrowings under the First Lien Incremental Facility by documentation executed by the applicable Incremental Lenders, the First Lien Administrative Agent and
Borrower, without the consent of any other Lender.
|
The “Incremental Cap,” on the date of incurrence of any First Lien Incremental Debt, shall equal the sum of (A) an unlimited amount (the “Incurrence
Incremental Amount”) at any time so long as, (x) in the case of First Lien Incremental Debt secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Facilities, the First Lien
Leverage Ratio shall be no greater than the Closing Date First Lien Leverage Ratio, (y) in the case of First Lien Incremental Debt secured by liens on Collateral that are pari passu with or junior to the liens of the Second Lien Term Facility, the Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined below) shall be no greater than the Closing Date Secured Leverage Ratio, and (z) in the case of unsecured First Lien
Incremental Debt, the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined below) shall not exceed 0.50x outside the Closing Date Total Leverage Ratio, in each case, calculated on an Incremental Pro Forma Basis, plus (B) an amount (the “First Lien Fixed
Incremental Amount”) equal to (I) the greater of (x) a fixed amount equal to 1.0x pro forma EBITDA as of the Closing Date and (y) 100% of pro forma EBITDA (as defined below) at the time of incurrence, less (II) the aggregate principal
amount of Second Lien Incremental Debt incurred in reliance on the Second Lien Fixed Incremental Amount plus (C) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of the First Lien Facilities (with respect to the First Lien Revolving
Facility, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the revolving commitments thereunder) or First Lien Incremental Debt (to the extent secured on a pari passu
basis with the First Lien Facilities) prior to such date of incurrence (other than to the extent such voluntary prepayment is funded with proceeds of long-term debt), additional debt buybacks of the Initial Term Loans permitted under the
First Lien Facility Documentation (to the extent of the actual amount of cash paid), payments utilizing the yank-a-bank provisions of the First Lien Facility Documentation, and, solely with respect to the applicable extension debt and without
duplication, such portion of outstanding loans under the First Lien Facilities effectively extended pursuant to any applicable First Lien Incremental Debt (the “Prepayment Component”); provided
that, except as provided below under “Conditions to Each Subsequent Borrowing” with respect to a Limited Condition Transaction (as defined below), (i) no event of default shall exist or would exist after giving effect to such First Lien
Incremental Debt and (ii) the representations and warranties in the First Lien Facility Documentation shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless already qualified by materiality, in which case they shall be true and correct in
all respects).
The “MFN Requirement” means that the all-in yield (taking into consideration interest rate margins, original issue discount (“OID”), upfront fees (which
shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by Borrower to the relevant Lenders (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), but disregarding any arranger fees or LIBOR or Base Rate
floor, of the First Lien Incremental Facility will not be more than 75 basis points higher than the corresponding all-in yield for the existing First Lien Term Facility, calculated consistently, but giving effect to any increase in interest
rate margins or additional fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) provided with respect to the existing First Lien Term Facility in connection with such issuance and/or syndication.
“Permitted Short-Term Incremental Debt” means (x) debt in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not exceeding the greater of an amount to be agreed and a
percentage to be agreed of pro forma EBITDA or (y) any bridge financing converting to, or intended to be refinanced by, debt complying with the applicable maturity and weighted average life requirement subject to customary terms and
conditions to be agreed.
If Borrower incurs First Lien Incremental Debt using the First Lien Fixed Incremental Amount and/or Prepayment Component on the same date that it incurs
indebtedness using the Incurrence Incremental Amount, the First Lien Leverage Ratio or other applicable ratio will be calculated without regard to any incurrence of indebtedness under the First Lien Fixed Incremental Amount and/or Prepayment
Component.
Any portion of First Lien Incremental Debt incurred other than under the Incurrence Incremental Amount may be re-designated at any time, as Borrower may elect from
time to time, as incurred under the Incurrence Incremental Amount if Borrower meets the applicable ratio under the Incurrence Incremental Amount, at such time on a pro forma basis at any time subsequent to the incurrence of such First Lien
Incremental Debt by written notice to the First Lien Administrative Agent on such date.
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any First Lien Incremental Debt or other debt incurred in connection with any permitted acquisition
or investment (a “Limited Condition Transaction”), subject to customary testing provisions for future incurrence tests pending the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, the proceeds of which will fund such Limited
Condition Transaction, (x) Borrower may elect to calculate the Incremental Cap or other applicable ratio as of the date it commits to such Limited Condition Transaction, and may thereafter incur such First Lien Incremental Debt or other debt
to finance such Limited Condition Transaction in reliance on such calculation; provided that any such First Lien Incremental Debt shall be deemed incurred for purposes of calculating the Incurrence
Incremental Amount (and other incurrence ratios) at any time after such calculation date and prior to the incurrence of such First Lien Incremental Debt (or termination or rescission of such agreement or declaration) and (y) the conditions
precedent related to the absence of defaults (other than a payment or bankruptcy event of default) and accuracy of representations and warranties will be waivable by the lenders in respect of any such First Lien Incremental Debt.
The First Lien Administrative Agent and lenders providing First Lien Incremental Debt may conclusively rely on Borrower’s calculation of the Incremental Cap and
determination that other applicable requirements have been met, and First Lien Incremental Facilities provided in reliance thereon shall be deemed effective (but nothing in this sentence shall serve to waive any default arising from
Borrower’s failure to satisfy such requirements).
|
|
In addition, following the Restrictions End Date, Borrower may incur debt outside of the First Lien Facility Documentation in lieu of adding First Lien Incremental Term Facilities (“First Lien Incremental
Equivalent Debt”), in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the Incremental Cap, when combined with all other First Lien Incremental Debt, on such terms as Borrower may agree; provided
that, (i) other than Permitted Short-Term Incremental Debt, the maturity date and weighted average life to maturity of such First Lien Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be no earlier or shorter, respectively, than the maturity date and
weighted average life to maturity (determined without giving effect to any prepayments that reduce amortization) of the initial First Lien Term Facility, (ii) the terms of any junior-lien or unsecured First Lien Incremental Equivalent Debt
(other than Permitted Short-Term Incremental Debt) shall not provide for any scheduled repayment, mandatory redemption, sinking fund obligations or other payment (other than periodic interest payments) prior to the earliest maturity date
permitted by clause (i), above, other than the ability to participate (on a junior basis) in any mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term Loans, (iii) First Lien Incremental Equivalent Debt secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Facilities may participate (on not more than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of the First Lien Term Facility, (iv) borrowers and guarantors of First Lien
Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be Loan Parties, (v) any secured First Lien Incremental Equivalent Debt shall (A) be subject to an intercreditor agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to the First Lien Administrative Agent and (B) not be
secured by any property or assets other than Collateral and (vi) the terms and conditions of such First Lien Incremental Equivalent Debt (excluding pricing, interest rate margins, fees, discounts, rate floors and optional prepayment or
redemption terms) are (taken as a whole) not materially more favorable (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of Borrower) to the lenders or noteholders providing such First Lien Incremental Equivalent Debt than those
applicable to the First Lien Term Facility (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the earliest maturity date permitted by clause (i), above) as determined in good faith by Borrower.
|
|
Refinancing Facilities:
|
The First Lien Facility Documentation will permit Borrower to refinance loans under the First Lien Term Facility (as it may be increased pursuant to the provisions
described above) or commitments under the First Lien Revolving Facility (as it may be increased pursuant to the provisions described above) from time to time, in whole or part, in a principal amount not to exceed the principal amount of debt
so refinanced (plus any accrued but unpaid interest, premiums and fees payable by the terms of such debt thereon and reasonable fees, expenses, original issue discount and upfront fees incurred in connection with such refinancing, plus such
additional amounts to the extent otherwise permitted to be incurred under the First Lien Facility Documentation (provided the applicable baskets are utilized in connection with the incurrence of such
additional amount of debt)), with (A) one or more new term facilities (“Refinancing Term Facilities”) or new revolving credit facilities (“Refinancing Revolving Facilities” and, collectively with any Refinancing Term Facilities,
the “Refinancing Facilities”) under the First Lien Facility Documentation complying with the applicable restrictions on terms applicable to First Lien Incremental Facilities (other than the MFN Requirement) or (B) other debt (not
governed by the First Lien Facility Documentation), which may be unsecured, or secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis with the First Lien Facilities (“Other Refinancing Debt”)
complying with the applicable restrictions on terms applicable to First Lien Incremental Equivalent Debt.
Obligations under any Refinancing Facility shall constitute pari passu secured obligations under the First Lien Facility
Documentation, guaranteed by the Guarantees and co-secured by the liens on the Collateral granted under the First Lien Facility Documentation, on an equal and ratable basis. The First Lien Facility Documentation shall be amended to give
effect to borrowings under the Refinancing Facility by documentation executed by the lenders providing such Refinancing Facility, the First Lien Administrative Agent and Borrower, without the consent of any other Lender.
The First Lien Administrative Agent and lenders providing Refinancing Facilities or Other Refinancing Debt may conclusively rely on Borrower’s determination that
applicable requirements have been met, and Refinancing Facilities or Other Refinancing Debt provided in reliance thereon shall be deemed effective (but nothing in this sentence shall serve to waive any default arising from Borrower’s failure
to satisfy such requirements).
|
Guarantees:
|
The First Lien Facilities and any First Lien Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements (as defined below) will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”)
on a joint and several basis by Holdings and all of the existing and future direct and indirect U.S. wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of Holdings (other than Borrower (except with respect to First Lien Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements
of its restricted subsidiaries)), subject to exceptions to be agreed, including: (i) any U.S. subsidiary that has no material assets other than equity, of one or more foreign subsidiaries of Holdings that are “controlled foreign
corporations” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (any such foreign entity, a “CFC”) (any such U.S. subsidiary, a “FSHCO”), (ii) any U.S. subsidiary of a foreign subsidiary of
Holdings that is a CFC, (iii) immaterial subsidiaries, (iv) any special purpose entity, captive insurance subsidiary or not for profit subsidiaries, (v) any subsidiary to the extent that the burden or cost (including adverse tax consequences)
of obtaining a guaranty outweighs the benefit afforded thereby as determined by Borrower and the First Lien Administrative Agent together in good faith, (vi) any unrestricted subsidiary, (vii) any subsidiary if providing such guaranty would
result in material adverse tax consequences, as reasonably determined by Borrower, and (viii) any subsidiary prohibited or restricted (including by any third party consent requirement) from providing such Guarantee by (A) applicable law, or
(B) any permitted contract (including permitted debt) entered into prior to (and not entered into in contemplation of) the Closing Date or the acquisition of such subsidiary.
Holdings and restricted subsidiaries providing Guarantees are referred to herein as “Guarantors”.
Guarantees shall exclude swap obligations to the extent not permitted by the Commodity Exchange Act, or any regulation thereunder, by virtue of a subsidiary failing
to constitute an “eligible contract participant.”
|
Security:
|
Subject to the limitations set forth below and subject to the Certain Funds Provisions, the obligations of Borrower and the Guarantors in respect of the First Lien Facilities and any hedging or cash management
obligations designated by Borrower to which the First Lien Administrative Agent, any arranger under the First Lien Facilities, any lender under the First Lien Facilities or any affiliate of any of the foregoing is a counterparty (the “First
Lien Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements”) shall be secured by a first priority perfected security interest (subject to permitted liens and other mutually agreed exceptions) on substantially all tangible and intangible assets, and
mortgages on real property, in each case, of Borrower and the Guarantors, now or hereafter owned (after giving effect to the Excluded Assets (as defined below), collectively, the “Collateral”).

foreign subsidiary that is a CFC or any FSHCO shall be required to be pledged and (b) agreed exceptions to the Collateral will include: (i) any real property that is not fee-owned and any real property with a value of less than an amount to
be agreed (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 and other assets subject to certificates of title (except
as to which perfection of the security interest therein can be accomplished by the filing of a UCC financing statement), letter of credit rights (except to the extent constituting a supporting obligation for other Collateral as to which
perfection of the security interest in such other Collateral is accomplished automatically without further action or by the filing of a UCC financing statement) and commercial tort claims below a threshold to be agreed, (iii) pledges and
security interests prohibited by law after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC, (iv) equity interests (A) constituting margin stock, (B) of unrestricted subsidiaries, (C) of captive insurance subsidiaries,
(D) of not for profit subsidiaries, (E) of special purpose entities, and (F) of any person (other than Borrower and any wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary) if such pledge would violate any restriction (including, by any consent requirement) in its
organizational or joint venture documents or any contract binding on such person on the Closing Date or at the time of its acquisition by a Loan Party and not entered into in contemplation thereof, in each case after giving effect to the
applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC, (v) “intent-to-use” trademark applications prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the
period, if any, in which the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark application under applicable federal law, (vi) any intellectual property, lease, license, or other
agreement to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate or invalidate, or render unenforceable any right, title or interest of Borrower or any Guarantor in, such intellectual property, lease, license, or agreement,
or create a right of termination in favor of any other party thereto (other than Borrower or a Guarantor), after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC, (vii) any property and assets the pledge of which would
require governmental consent, approval, license or authorization that has not been obtained, after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC, (viii) any governmental lease, licenses or state or local franchises,
charters and authorizations if and for so long as the grant of a security interest therein is prohibited or restricted thereby, after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC, (ix) any acquired property (including
property acquired through acquisition or merger of another entity that is not Borrower or a Guarantor) 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 binding on such property (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 UCC or other applicable law, (x) if Borrower and the First Lien Administrative Agent in good faith determine the cost, burden or consequences (including adverse tax consequences) of obtaining or perfecting a
security interest in such assets is excessive in relation to the practical benefit afforded thereby, (xi) any payroll and other employee wage and benefit accounts, tax accounts (including, without limitation, sales tax accounts), escrow
accounts and fiduciary or trust accounts maintained for the benefit of unaffiliated third parties, in each case, as long as such accounts are used solely for such purposes, (xii) any property subject to any purchase money security interest or
capital lease, in each case permitted under the First Lien Facility Documentation to the extent and for so long as such contract or other agreement prohibits such security interest or pledge, (xiii) any assets to the extent a security
interest in such assets would result in material adverse tax consequences as reasonably determined by Borrower in consultation with the First Lien Administrative Agent and (xiv) other exceptions to be mutually agreed (clauses (a) and (b)
collectively, the “Excluded Assets”). In addition, (A) except in the case of the assets and equity of any co-borrower organized in any non-U.S. jurisdiction pursuant to the provisions under the heading “Borrower” above, no security or
pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required, and Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be required to take any actions outside the U.S. to create or perfect security interests in any assets located
or titled outside of the U.S. (it being understood that there shall be no security agreement or pledge agreement governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction) and (B) perfection by possession or control shall not be required with
respect to any immaterial notes or other evidence of immaterial debt, or any deposit or securities accounts, and no delivery of stock certificates (or equivalent) with respect to equity interests in any immaterial subsidiaries or non-wholly
owned subsidiaries shall be required.
The above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages shall be created on terms, and pursuant to documentation, reasonably satisfactory to the First Lien
Administrative Agent and in any event subject to the Documentation Principles.

Financial Covenant:
|
With respect to the First Lien Term Facility: None.
With respect to the First Lien Revolving Facility: Limited to a maximum First Lien Leverage Ratio covenant (the “Financial Covenant”). The Financial
Covenant will be set at a single level set to reflect a 35% cushion to Closing Date EBITDA (and without giving effect to any cash on the balance sheet on the Closing Date).
The Financial Covenant shall be tested only in the event that on the last day of any fiscal quarter of Holdings (commencing with the first full fiscal quarter of
Holdings ending after the Closing Date) the aggregate revolving credit exposure under the First Lien Revolving Facility exceeds 35% of the aggregate commitments under the First Lien Revolving Facility (excluding all cash collateralized
letters of credit and other letters of credit in an aggregate undrawn amount to be agreed) (the “Testing Threshold”).
The cash proceeds of a sale of, or contribution to, equity (which equity shall be common equity or other equity (such other equity to be on terms reasonably
acceptable to the First Lien Administrative Agent)) of Holdings (contributed, in turn, as cash common equity to Borrower) during any fiscal quarter and on or prior to the day that is fifteen (15) business days after the day on which financial
statements are required to be delivered for such fiscal quarter (the “Cure Period”) will, at the request of Borrower, be included in the calculation of EBITDA for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant at the
end of such fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent periods which include such fiscal quarter (any such equity contribution so included in the calculation of EBITDA, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) in
each four (4) consecutive fiscal quarter period, there shall be no more than two (2) fiscal quarters in which a Specified Equity Contribution is made, (b) no more than five (5) Specified Equity Contributions may be made in the aggregate, (c)
the Specified Equity Contribution shall be counted only as EBITDA solely for the purpose of compliance with the Financial Covenant and shall not be included for any other purpose under the First Lien Facility Documentation (including the
calculation of baskets or ratios), (d) the Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the sum of the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Covenant, and (e) the Specified Equity Contribution shall not result
in any actual or pro forma debt reduction in the period in which it is included in EBITDA. The First Lien Facility Documentation will contain a standstill provision with regard to the exercise of remedies (but not as to limitations on
borrowing) during the period in which any Specified Equity Contribution will be made after the receipt of written notice by the First Lien Administrative Agent of Borrower’s intention to cure a Financial Covenant default with the proceeds of
the Specified Equity Contribution; provided that the Lenders shall have no obligation to fund any loans under the First Lien Revolving Facility and the Issuing Banks shall have no obligation to issue new Letters of Credit unless and
until the Specified Equity Contribution is made or all events of default are cured; provided, further, that such standstill shall apply solely in respect of the breach (or prospective breach) of the Financial Covenant giving
rise thereto, and if the Specified Equity Contribution is not made before the expiration of the Cure Period, such event of default or potential event of default shall be deemed reinstated.
|
Events of Default:
|
Events of default will be subject to thresholds, exceptions, grace and cure periods to be agreed (in accordance with the Documentation Principles, with materiality
thresholds to be agreed), and will in any event be limited to the following:
nonpayment of principal when due, nonpayment of interest, fees and other amounts after a five business day grace period, breach of representations in any material
respect when made (or in any respect with respect to any representation already qualified by materiality) and covenants (provided that any breach of the Financial Covenant shall not constitute an event
of default with respect to the First Lien Term Facility unless the loans under the First Lien Revolving Facility have been accelerated), cross default and cross acceleration, in each case, to material debt, material loss of lien validity or
priority, invalidity of material guarantees or other material rights under First Lien Facility Documentation, bankruptcy and insolvency events with respect to Holdings and its material restricted subsidiaries, ERISA events (subject to a
“material adverse effect” standard), failure to satisfy or stay material monetary judgments and change of control (which shall not include a “continuing director” test or most favored nation clause).
|
Assignments and Participations:
|
Each Lender may assign all or, subject to the minimum amounts set forth below, a portion of its loans and commitments to one or more “Eligible Assignees” (to
be defined in a manner to be mutually agreed upon) with the consent of the First Lien Administrative Agent and Borrower (and, solely with respect to assignments of the First Lien Revolving Facility, each Issuing Bank), in each case, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (a) no consent of Borrower shall be required (i) for an assignment to an existing Lender or an affiliate or approved fund or managed
account of an existing Lender or (ii) during a payment or bankruptcy default and (b) no consent of the First Lien Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an existing Lender; provided further that Borrower’s consent shall be deemed to have been given with respect to an assignment to an Eligible Assignee unless Borrower objects to such assignment within 10 business days after having
received notice of such assignment.
Each assignment will be in an amount of an integral multiple of $1.0 million (or $500,000 in the case of an assignment under the First Lien Term Facility) or, if
less, all of such Lender’s remaining commitments and loans of the applicable class. In addition, each Lender may sell participations in all or a portion of its loans and commitments under the First Lien Term Facility or First Lien Revolving
Facility; provided that no purchaser of a participation shall have the right to exercise or to cause the selling Lender to exercise voting rights in respect of the participating interests (except with
respect to: (x) reductions or forgiveness of principal, interest or fees payable to such participant; (y) extensions of the applicable Maturity Date or the date for payment of interest, principal or fee on the loans in which such participant
participates; and (z) releases of all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees, or all or substantially all of the Collateral). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any loans or commitments, or any participation
therein, be assigned to a Disqualified Institution. The list of Disqualified Institutions shall be available to each Lender and prospective assignees and participants upon request in connection with an assignment or participation. The First
Lien Administrative Agent may charge a processing and recordation fee of up to $3,500 in connection with any assignment.
The First Lien Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or liability with respect to monitoring or enforcing prohibitions on assignments or participations to
Disqualified Institutions (or disclosure of confidential information to Disqualified Institutions) and the list of Disqualified Institutions.
So long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing and no proceeds of loans under the First Lien Revolving Facility are used to fund such purchases,
loans under the First Lien Term Facility may be purchased by and assigned to Holdings or any of its subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases and/or auctions; provided that
loans so purchased and not concurrently assigned to an Eligible Assignee are deemed automatically cancelled without further action.
Assignments of the First Lien Term Facility to Sponsor or any of its affiliates (other than Holdings, Borrower and their subsidiaries) (each, an “Affiliated
Lender”) shall be permitted, provided that the following limitations will apply for so long as loans are held by an Affiliated Lender, other than an Affiliated Debt Fund (defined below):
(i) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to lenders and will not be permitted to attend/participate in “lender only” meetings;
(ii) Affiliated Lenders may not acquire revolving loans or commitments;
(iii) For purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of the First Lien Facility Documentation or any plan of reorganization that does not in each case
adversely affect such Affiliated Lender (solely in its capacity as a Lender) in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as non-affiliated lenders voting on such
matter; provided that Affiliated Lenders shall be entitled to receive their ratable portion of any amendment, waiver or consent fee paid by Borrower to the Lenders in order to obtain any such
amendment, waiver or consent and (y) no amendment, modification or waiver of the First Lien Facility Documentation shall, without the consent of such Affiliated Lender, (i) increase the commitment of such Affiliated Lender, (ii) reduce the
principal, interest, fees or premium of or due to such Affiliated Lender, (iii) extend the final maturity or the due date of any amortization, interest, fee or premium due to such Affiliated Lender, or (iv) deprive such Affiliated Lender of
its pro rata share of any payment to which all Lenders under the First Lien Term Facility are entitled;
(iv) Neither Borrower, the Sponsor, nor any Affiliated Lender shall be required to make a representation that it is not in possession of material non-public
information with respect to Borrower, its subsidiaries or their respective securities; and
(v) Affiliated Lenders may not hold more than 25% of the total amount of term loans outstanding (determined at the time of purchase thereof).
The foregoing restrictions in clauses (i) through (v) shall not apply to any Affiliated Lender that is a bona fide debt fund that is primarily engaged in, or
advises funds or other investment vehicles that are primarily engaged in, making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, bonds and similar extensions of credit or securities in the ordinary course of its business and
whose managers have fiduciary duties to the investors in such fund or investment vehicle independent of their duties to any Sponsor (“Affiliated Debt Fund”); provided that Affiliated Debt Funds
shall not constitute more than 49.9% of any required lender vote.
The First Lien Facility Documentation will contain provisions allowing Borrower to replace (x) a Defaulting Lender, (y) a Lender requesting indemnification,
reimbursement or payment for increased costs, taxes, etc., or (z) a non-consenting Lender in connection with an amendment or waiver requiring the vote of all lenders or all lenders directly and adversely affected thereby.
The First Lien Administrative Agent will maintain a register of the Lenders, and no assignment will be valid unless and until recorded on the register.

costs, expenses (including but not limited to reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses promptly after receipt of written demand together with customary backup documentation (such legal expense to be limited (absent an actual or bona
fide potential conflict of interest) to one outside counsel for all Indemnified Persons and reasonably necessary local counsel in applicable jurisdictions)) and liabilities arising out of or relating to the Transactions and any actual or
proposed use of the proceeds of any loans made under the First Lien Facilities; provided, however, that no such person will be indemnified for costs, expenses
or liabilities to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been incurred by reason of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such person or the material breach of
funding obligations under the First Lien Facilities without the fault of the indemnifying person or its affiliates, or to the extent arising from any dispute solely among indemnified persons (other than (x) a dispute involving claims against

Lenders in the event of unavailability of LIBOR, breakage losses, reserve, capital adequacy and liquidity requirements (including, without limitation, with respect to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III
regardless of when enacted) and will include customary tax gross-up provisions; provided that the First Lien Facility Documentation will provide that no Lender shall claim any compensation for capital
adequacy and liquidity requirements unless such Lender is generally seeking similar and proportionate compensation from similarly situated borrowers.
The First Lien Facility Documentation will contain provisions relating to taxes (including withholding) that are customary for facilities of this nature and
consistent with LSTA.
|
Voting:
|
Amendments and waivers of the First Lien Facility Documentation will require the approval of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the exposure and unused commitments under the First Lien
Term Facility and the First Lien Revolving Facility (the “Required Lenders”), except that (i) the consent of each adversely affected Lender shall be required with respect to, among other things, (a) increases in the commitment of such

|
The First Lien Facility Documentation will permit amendments thereof (x) with the consent of Borrower and the consent of the applicable Lenders holding more than
50% of the aggregate amount of loans and commitments under a particular facility or tranche of loans or commitments under the First Lien Facility Documentation to the extent any amendment applies solely to the terms of a particular facility
or tranche and does not adversely affect another facility or tranche, and (y) with the consent of Borrower and any consenting Lenders, if all loans and other amounts payable to non-consenting Lenders will be paid in full, and all commitments
thereof will be terminated, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of such amendment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the First Lien Facility Documentation will permit amendments thereof to the extent expressly provided for elsewhere in this First
Lien Term Sheet (including, in connection with First Lien Incremental Facilities and Refinancing Facilities), with the consent of Borrower, the First Lien Administrative Agent and any lenders specified in the applicable provision.
The First Lien Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend the First Lien Facility Documentation to correct any obvious error or omission of a technical nature
therein, unless Required Lenders object to such amendment within 5 business days following receipt of notice thereof.
The First Lien Administrative Agent will have customary rights to execute, modify and release collateral documentation and guarantees as contemplated by the First
Lien Facility Documentation, including the right to release or subordinate liens as required by the terms of any purchase money security interest, capital lease, acquired lien or any lien expressly permitted to be senior in priority to the
liens of the First Lien Facility Documentation.
|
|
Amend and Extend Provisions:
|
The First Lien Facility Documentation will contain customary “amend and extend” provisions pursuant to which Borrower, with the approval of consenting Lenders, may extend the loans of such consenting Lenders
and, in connection therewith, amend the interest rates, yield, fees, amortization (so long as the maturity and weighted average life to maturity is not shortened) and prepayment provisions applicable to such extended loans. The First Lien
Facility Documentation may be amended by Borrower, the First Lien Administrative Agent and such consenting Lenders.
|
Unrestricted Subsidiaries:
|
The First Lien Facility Documentation will contain provisions pursuant to which, subject to no event of default existing or resulting therefrom and customary limitations on loans, advances to, and other
investments in, unrestricted subsidiaries, in each case in accordance with the Documentation Principles (and subject to additional limitations to be agreed prior to the Restrictions End Date), Borrower will be permitted to designate any
existing or subsequently acquired or organized subsidiary (other than a co-borrower) as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and subsequently re-designate any such unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary; provided that, in connection with
any such re-designation, the Total Leverage Ratio shall not exceed the Closing Date Total Leverage Ratio. Unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to the representations and warranties, affirmative or negative covenants or event of
default provisions of the First Lien Facility Documentation and results of operations and debt of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of determining any financial ratio or covenant contained in the First Lien
Facility Documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the First Lien Facility Documentation shall not permit transfers of material intellectual property from Loan Parties to non-Loan Parties or to Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
|
Intercreditor Arrangements
|
Consistent with the Documentation Principles, the priority of the security interests in the Collateral and related creditors’ rights will be set forth in a customary intercreditor agreement substantially

Maturity Date and Amortization:
|
The Second Lien Term Facility will mature on the date that is eight years from the Closing Date (the “Second Lien Term Maturity Date”).
There will be no amortization.
|
Availability:
|
Second Lien Term Facility: Upon satisfaction or waiver of the Specified Conditions, a single
drawing may be made on the Closing Date of the full amount of the Second Lien Term Facility. Amounts borrowed under the Second Lien Term Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
|
Interest:
|
At Borrower’s option, loans will bear interest based on the Base Rate or LIBOR, as described below:
|
A. Base Rate Option
|
|
Interest for borrowings based on Base Rate will be at the Base Rate plus the applicable Interest Margin, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or when calculated by
reference to the “prime rate”, 365/366 days) and payable quarterly in arrears. The “Base Rate” is defined, for any day, as a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of 1%, (ii) the prime commercial lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, from time to time, (iii) LIBOR (as set forth below) for an interest period of one-month beginning on such day plus 1% and (iv)
1.75%.
|
|
Base Rate borrowings will be in minimum amounts to be agreed upon and will require one business day’s prior notice, except that Base Rate borrowings may be funded on the same business day notice is received if
notice is received prior to a time to be agreed upon.
|
|
B. LIBOR Option
|
|
Interest for borrowings based on LIBOR will be determined for periods to be selected by Borrower (“Interest Periods”) of one, two, three or six months (or twelve months or a lesser period if agreed to by
all relevant Lenders) and will be at an annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for the corresponding deposits of U.S. dollars, plus the applicable Interest Margin; provided
that (i) the initial interest period may be less than one month and (ii) LIBOR for purposes of calculating interest on any loan under the Second Lien Term Facility shall be deemed to be not less than 0.75% per annum. LIBOR will be determined
by the Second Lien Administrative Agent at the start of each Interest Period and will be fixed through such period. Interest will be paid at the end of each Interest Period or, in the case of Interest Periods longer than three months, at the
end of each three-month period, and will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. LIBOR will be adjusted for maximum statutory reserve requirements (if any).
|
|
LIBOR borrowings will require three business days’ prior notice (or such lesser notice as the Second Lien Administrative Agent may agree in its discretion) and will be in minimum amounts to be agreed upon. The
Second Lien Term Facility Documentation will include customary “successor LIBOR” provisions substantially consistent with the First Lien Facility Documentation.
|
Interest Margins:
|
The applicable Interest Margin under the Second Lien Term Facility will be 800 basis points for LIBOR loans and 700 basis points for Base Rate loans.
|
Default Interest and Fees:
|
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a bankruptcy or payment event of default, overdue principal, interest and other overdue amounts shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal on any loan, at a rate of 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to the loans and (ii) in the case of any other overdue outstanding amount, at a rate of 2.0% per annum plus the
non-default interest rate then applicable to Base Rate loans under the Second Lien Term Facility, and will be payable on demand.
|
Mandatory Prepayments:
|
Subject to the full repayment of the First Lien Facilities and subject to the rights of the Lenders to receive declined amounts under the First Lien Facilities, mandatory prepayment provisions substantially
similar to those under the First Lien Term Facility (including the applicable step-downs based on First Lien Leverage Ratios set forth in the First Lien Term Facility).
|
Optional Prepayments:
|
The Second Lien Term Loans may be prepaid, in whole or in part, in minimum principal amounts to be mutually agreed upon, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment but without premium or
penalty (except as set forth below), subject to (x) reimbursement of the Lenders’ usual and customary breakage costs actually incurred (excluding loss of profit) in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of
the relevant interest period and (y) the payment of the Prepayment Premium applicable thereto.
|
Call Protection:
|
Any optional prepayment (including as a result of “yank-a-bank” or payment following acceleration) of Second Lien Term Loans and any mandatory prepayment of Second Lien Term Loans made in connection with the
receipt of net proceeds by any Company from the issuance of debt or disqualified stock after the Closing Date to the extent not permitted under the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation or consisting of proceeds of Refinancing Facilities or
Other Refinancing Debt, in each case, consummated prior to the date that is: (i) on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, shall be subject to a prepayment premium of 2.00% and (ii) after the first anniversary of the Closing
Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, shall be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.00% (the “Prepayment Premium”); provided that such Prepayment Premium shall not be payable in the event that the
“Closing Date” (as defined in the Peraton Commitment Letter) has occurred and the Second Lien Term Facility is prepaid in full in connection therewith.
|
Application of Prepayments:
|
Prepayments of the Second Lien Term Facility will be applied to the outstanding amount of the Second Lien Term Loans as directed by Borrower.
|
Second Lien Incremental Facility:
|
Following the Closing Date, the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation will permit Borrower to add one or more incremental second lien term loan facilities to the
Second Lien Term Facility either as a separate tranche or a fungible increase to an existing tranche (each, a “Second Lien Incremental Facility” and collectively, the “Second Lien Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate
principal amount not exceeding the Incremental Cap (as defined below) when combined with any Second Lien Incremental Equivalent Debt (as defined below and, together with the Second Lien Incremental Facilities, “Second Lien Incremental Debt”)
and First Lien Incremental Debt (as defined in the First Lien Term Sheet). Second Lien Incremental Facilities may be provided by existing Lenders or Eligible Assignees (each an “Incremental Lender”), but no Lender will be required to
participate in any Second Lien Incremental Facility.
The terms of any Second Lien Incremental Facility shall be as agreed by Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders, provided that (i) any Second Lien
Incremental Debt shall comply with the MFN Requirement (defined below), (ii) other than Permitted Short-Term Incremental Debt (defined below), the maturity date and weighted average life to maturity of any Second Lien Incremental Facility
shall be no earlier or shorter, respectively, than the maturity date and weighted average life to maturity of the initial Second Lien Term Facility (determined without giving effect to any prepayments that reduce amortization) and (iii)
covenants and events of default shall be no more restrictive than the comparable provisions in the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation, except (A) if the more restrictive terms also benefit the initial Second Lien Term Facility or are not
effective until after the Second Lien Term Maturity Date, or (B) to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Second Lien Administrative Agent; provided that, in no event shall any Second Lien Incremental Debt have amortization. Any Second
Lien Incremental Facility may provide for the ability to participate (on not more than a pro rata basis) in any prepayments of the loans under the Second Lien Term Facility.
Obligations under any Second Lien Incremental Facility shall constitute pari passu secured, junior secured or unsecured
obligations under the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation, guaranteed by the Guarantees and, to the extent secured, co-secured by the liens on the Collateral granted under the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation, on an equal and
ratable or junior basis. The Second Lien Term Facility Documentation shall be amended to give effect to borrowings under the Second Lien Incremental Facility by documentation executed by the applicable Incremental Lenders, the Second Lien
Administrative Agent and Borrower, without the consent of any other Lender.
The “Incremental Cap,” on the date of incurrence of any Second Lien Incremental Debt, shall equal the sum of (A) an unlimited amount (the “Incurrence
Incremental Amount”) at any time so long as, (x) in the case of Second Lien Incremental Debt secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Second Lien Term Facility or Second Lien
Incremental Debt secured by liens on Collateral that are junior to the liens of the Second Lien Term Facility, the Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined below) shall be no greater than the Closing Date Secured Leverage Ratio and (y) in the case
of unsecured Second Lien Incremental Debt, the Total Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 0.50x outside the Closing Date Total Leverage Ratio, in each case, calculated on an Incremental Pro Forma Basis plus (B) an amount (the “Second Lien Fixed
Incremental Amount”) equal to (I) the greater of (x) a fixed amount equal to 1.0x pro forma EBITDA as of the Closing Date and (y) 100% of pro forma EBITDA at the time of incurrence, less (II) the aggregate principal amount of First Lien
Incremental Debt incurred in reliance on the First Lien Fixed Incremental Amount, plus (C) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of the Second Lien Term Facility or Second Lien Incremental Debt prior to such date of incurrence
(other than to the extent such voluntary prepayment is funded with proceeds of long-term debt), additional debt buybacks permitted under the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation (to the extent of the actual amount of cash paid), payments
utilizing the yank-a-bank provisions of the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation, and, solely with respect to the applicable extension of debt and without duplication, such portion of outstanding loans under the Second Lien Term Facility
effectively extended pursuant to any applicable Second Lien Incremental Debt (the “Prepayment Component”); provided that, except as provided under “Conditions to Each Subsequent Borrowing” (as set
forth in the First Lien Term Sheet) with respect to a Limited Condition Transaction (as defined below), (i) no event of default shall exist or would exist after giving effect to such Second Lien Incremental Debt and (ii) the representations
and warranties in the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless already qualified by materiality, in which case they shall be true and correct in all respects).
The “MFN Requirement” means that the all-in yield (taking into consideration interest rate margins, original issue discount (“OID”), upfront fees
(which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by Borrower to the relevant Lenders (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), but disregarding any arranger fees or LIBOR or Base
Rate floor, of any Second Lien Incremental Facility secured on a pari passu basis with the obligations under the Second Lien Term Facility will not be more than 50 basis points higher than the
corresponding all-in yield for the existing Second Lien Term Facility, calculated consistently, but giving effect to any increase in interest rate margins or additional fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) provided
with respect to the existing Second Lien Term Facility in connection with such issuance and/or syndication.
|
“Permitted Short-Term Incremental Debt” means any bridge financing converting to, or intended to be refinanced by, debt complying with the applicable
maturity and weighted average life requirement subject to customary terms and conditions to be agreed.
If Borrower incurs Second Lien Incremental Debt using the Second Lien Fixed Incremental Amount and/or Prepayment Component on the same date that they incur
indebtedness using the Incurrence Incremental Amount, the Secured Leverage Ratio or other applicable ratio will be calculated without regard to any incurrence of indebtedness under the Second Lien Fixed Incremental Amount and/or Prepayment
Component.
Any portion of Second Lien Incremental Debt incurred other than under the Incurrence Incremental Amount may be re-designated at any time, as Borrower may elect from
time to time, as incurred under the Incurrence Incremental Amount if Borrower meets the applicable ratio under the Incurrence Incremental Amount, at such time on a pro forma basis at any time subsequent to the incurrence of such Second Lien
Incremental Debt, by written notice to the Second Lien Administrative Agent on such date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Second Lien Incremental Debt or other debt incurred in connection with any permitted
acquisition or investment (a “Limited Condition Transaction”), subject to customary testing provisions for future incurrence tests pending the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, the proceeds of which will fund such
Limited Condition Transaction, (x) Borrower may elect to calculate the Incremental Cap or other applicable ratio as of the date it commits to such Limited Condition Transaction, and may thereafter incur such Second Lien Incremental Debt or
other debt to finance such Limited Condition Transaction in reliance on such calculation; provided that any such Second Lien Incremental Debt shall be deemed incurred for purposes of calculating the
Incurrence Incremental Amount (and other incurrence ratios) at any time after such calculation date and prior to the incurrence of such Second Lien Incremental Debt (or termination or rescission of such agreement or declaration) and (y) the
conditions precedent related to the absence of defaults (other than a payment or bankruptcy event of default) and accuracy of representations and warranties will be waivable by the lenders in respect of any such Second Lien Incremental Debt.
The Second Lien Administrative Agent and the Incremental Lenders may conclusively rely on Borrower’s calculation of the Incremental Cap and determination that other
applicable requirements have been met, and Second Lien Incremental Facilities provided in reliance thereon shall be deemed effective (but nothing in this sentence shall serve to waive any default arising from Borrower’s failure to satisfy
such requirements).
|
Documentation Principles:
|
The definitive documentation for the Second Lien Term Facility (the “Second Lien Term Facility Documentation”) shall, except as otherwise set forth herein, be based on and consistent with the
Documentation Principles (as defined in the First Lien Term Sheet), with such changes as are appropriate to (i) reflect the administrative and operational requirements of the Second Lien Administrative Agent and (ii) reflect the second lien
nature of the Second Lien Term Facility. Further, to the extent any term referenced in this Second Lien Term Sheet or in the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation has a corresponding term in the First Lien Term Sheet or the First Lien
Facility Documentation that is modified or removed pursuant to the “flex” provisions or otherwise “tightened” (i.e. made less favorable to, or more restrictive on, Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s subsidiaries) in the course of
syndication of the First Lien Facilities, such term in this Second Lien Term Sheet and, if applicable, in the Second Lien Facility Documentation shall be deemed to be modified or removed (or “tightened”) in a corresponding manner. Schulte
Roth & Zabel LLP, as counsel to Borrower, shall initially draft the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation.
|
Representations and Warranties:
|
Limited to those specified under the heading “Representations and Warranties” in the First Lien Term Sheet, with such changes as are appropriate for the second lien nature of the Second Lien Term Facility.
|
Affirmative Covenants:
|
Limited to those specified under the heading “Affirmative Covenants” in the First Lien Term Sheet, with such changes as are appropriate for the second lien nature of the Second Lien Term Facility.
|
Negative Covenants:
|
The Second Lien Term Facility Documentation will contain negative covenants substantially similar to (and, in any event, no less favorable to Holdings, Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries) and consistent
with those negative covenants contained in the First Lien Facility Documentation, except (i) “baskets” (but not ratios) for the negative covenants under the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation will be sized at 20% above the “basket”
levels under the First Lien Facility Documentation and (ii) the Second Lien Term Facility shall contain a customary anti-layering covenant. It is understood that the negative covenants shall permit the incurrence of any First Lien
Incremental Debt permitted to be incurred under the First Lien Facility Documentation.
|
Financial Covenant:
|
None.
|
Events of Default:
|
Substantially the same as those under the First Lien Term Facility; provided that (a) dollar and EBITDA thresholds shall be 20% greater than the corresponding thresholds under the First Lien Term Facility and
(b) with respect to the First Lien Term Facility or any other facility with a first lien on Collateral, the Second Lien Term Facility shall have a cross-acceleration event of default, other than in the case of a failure to make a principal
payment at stated final maturity, in which such case, the Second Lien Term Facility shall have a cross-default.
|
Assignments and Participations:
|
Each Lender may assign all or, subject to the minimum amounts set forth below, a portion of its loans and commitments to one or more “Eligible Assignees” (to
be defined in a manner to be mutually agreed upon) with the consent of the Second Lien Administrative Agent and Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that no consent
of Borrower shall be required (i) for an assignment to an existing Lender or an affiliate or approved fund or managed account of an existing Lender or (ii) during a payment or bankruptcy default; provided further that Borrower’s consent shall be deemed to have been given with respect to an assignment to an Eligible Assignee unless Borrower objects to such assignment within 10 business days after having
received notice of such assignment. Each assignment will be in an amount of an integral multiple of $500,000 or, if less, all of such Lender’s remaining commitments and loans of the applicable class. In addition, each Lender may sell
participations in all or a portion of its loans and commitments under the Second Lien Term Facility; provided that no purchaser of a participation shall have the right to exercise or to cause the
selling Lender to exercise voting rights in respect of the participating interests (except with respect to: (x) reductions or forgiveness of principal, interest or fees payable to such participant; (y) extensions of the applicable Maturity
Date or the date for payment of interest, principal or fee on the loans in which such participant participates; and (z) releases of all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees, or all or substantially all of the Collateral).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any loans or commitments, or any participation therein, be assigned to a Disqualified Institution. The list of Disqualified Institutions shall be available to each Lender and prospective
assignees and participants upon request in connection with an assignment or participation. The Second Lien Administrative Agent may charge a processing and recordation fee of up to $3,500 in connection with any assignment, other than an
assignment by a Second Lien Initial Lender to one of its affiliates.
The Second Lien Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or liability with respect to monitoring or enforcing prohibitions on assignments or participations to
Disqualified Institutions (or disclosure of confidential information to Disqualified Institutions) and the list of Disqualified Institutions.
So long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing, loans under the Second Lien Term Facility may be purchased by and assigned to Holdings or any of its
subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases and/or auctions; provided that loans so purchased and not concurrently assigned to an Eligible Assignee are deemed automatically
cancelled without further action.
Assignments of the Second Lien Term Facility to Sponsor or any of its affiliates (other than Holdings, Borrower and their subsidiaries) (each, an “Affiliated
Lender”) shall be permitted, provided that the following limitations will apply for so long as loans are held by an Affiliated Lender, other than an Affiliated Debt Fund (defined below):
(i) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to lenders and will not be permitted to attend/participate in “lender only” meetings;
(ii) Affiliated Lenders may not acquire revolving loans or commitments;
(iii) For purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation or any plan of reorganization that does not in each case
adversely affect such Affiliated Lender (solely in its capacity as a Lender) in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as non-affiliated lenders voting on such
matter; provided that Affiliated Lenders shall be entitled to receive their ratable portion of any amendment, waiver or consent fee paid by Borrower to the Lenders in order to obtain any such
amendment, waiver or consent and (y) no amendment, modification or waiver of the Second Lien Term Facility Documentation shall, without the consent of such Affiliated Lender, (i) increase the commitment of such Affiliated Lender, (ii) reduce
the principal, interest, fees or premium of or due to such Affiliated Lender, (iii) extend the final maturity or the due date of any amortization, interest, fee or premium due to such Affiliated Lender, or (iv) deprive such Affiliated Lender
of its pro rata share of any payment to which all Lenders under the Second Lien Term Facility are entitled;
(iv) Neither Borrower, the Sponsor, nor any Affiliated Lender shall be required to make a representation that it is not in possession of material non-public
information with respect to Borrower, its subsidiaries or their respective securities; and
(v) Affiliated Lenders may not hold more than 25% of the total amount of term loans outstanding (determined at the time of purchase thereof).
The foregoing restrictions in clauses (i) through (v) shall not apply to any Affiliated Lender that is a bona fide debt fund that is primarily engaged in, or
advises funds or other investment vehicles that are primarily engaged in, making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, bonds and similar extensions of credit or securities in the ordinary course of its business and
whose managers have fiduciary duties to the investors in such fund or investment vehicle independent of their duties to any Sponsor (“Affiliated Debt Fund”); provided that Affiliated Debt Funds
shall not constitute more than 49.9% of any required lender vote.
The Second Lien Term Facility Documentation will contain provisions allowing Borrower to replace (x) a Defaulting Lender, (y) a Lender requesting indemnification,
reimbursement or payment for increased costs, taxes, etc., or (z) a non-consenting Lender in connection with an amendment or waiver requiring the vote of all lenders or all lenders directly and adversely affected thereby.
The Second Lien Administrative Agent will maintain a register of the Lenders, and no assignment will be valid unless and until recorded on the register.

proceeds of any loans made under the Second Lien Term Facility; provided, however, that no such person will be indemnified for costs, expenses or liabilities
to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been incurred by reason of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such person or the material breach of funding
obligations under the Second Lien Term Facility without the fault of the indemnifying person or its affiliates, or to the extent arising from any dispute solely among indemnified persons (other than (x) a dispute involving claims against PSP,
the Second Lien Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Lead Arranger or other similarly titled person, in their respective capacities as such, and (y) any dispute arising out of any act or omission of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their
