Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Skyworks Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “you”), has advised JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”, the “Commitment Party”, “we” or “us”) that it intends to consummate the Acquisition and the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Exhibits hereto. This commitment letter, together with all Exhibits hereto, is referred to as this “Commitment Letter”.

1. Commitment. In connection with the foregoing, and subject only to the satisfaction or waiver by us of the conditions expressly set forth in Exhibit C to this Commitment Letter, JPMorgan hereby commits to provide to the Company 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Facility on the terms set forth herein and in Exhibit B hereto; provided that the foregoing commitment will be reduced as set forth in Exhibit B hereto under the section titled “Mandatory Commitment Reductions/Prepayments” (and you agree to give us prompt written notice of the occurrence of any such reduction, together with a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of thereof).

2. Appointment of Roles. You hereby appoint (a) JPMorgan to act, and JPMorgan hereby agrees to act, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner in respect of the Bridge Facility (in such capacities, the “Arranger”) and (b) JPMorgan to act, and JPMorgan hereby agrees to act, as the sole administrative agent for the Bridge Facility (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), in each case on the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly set forth in Exhibit C to this Commitment Letter.

It is agreed that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers, co-arrangers, bookrunners, managers or co-managers will be appointed and no other titles will be awarded (in each case, other than pursuant to the Syndication Plan (as defined below)), and no compensation will be paid (other than the compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters (as defined below)), in each case, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Bridge Facility unless the Company and the Arranger shall so agree.

3. Syndication. The Arranger intends to commence syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) promptly after the public announcement of the Acquisition. The Arranger will manage and determine, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof); provided that until the date that is 45 days after the date hereof (the “Initial Syndication Period”), such syndication (including determinations as to the selection of Lenders and any title of agent or similar designations or roles awarded to any Lender) shall be made in accordance with the syndication plan (the “Syndication Plan”) for the Bridge Facility agreed to (including as to the identity of the prospective Lenders, it being understood that such prospective Lenders are reasonably acceptable to the Company) by the Arranger and the Company prior to the date hereof, as it may be amended after the date hereof as agreed by the Arranger and the Company; provided, further, that we will not syndicate to (a) persons that are reasonably determined by you to be competitors of you or your subsidiaries and that you have been identified, by name, in writing to the Commitment Party from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date or to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Closing Date and (b) affiliates of any person described in the clause (a) above (other than bona fide debt fund affiliates) if such affiliates are identified, by name, by you in writing to the Commitment Party from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date or to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Closing Date or are otherwise clearly identifiable as an affiliate of such person based solely by similarity of such affiliate’s name to the name of such person (collectively, the “Disqualified Lenders”), it being understood and agreed that (i) the foregoing provisions shall not apply retroactively to any person if such person shall have previously acquired an assignment or participation interest (or shall have previously entered into a trade therefor) prior thereto, but shall disqualify such person from taking any further assignment or participation thereafter, (ii) each written supplement shall become effective two business days after delivery thereof to the Commitment Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and (iii) the list of Disqualified Lenders may be provided, on a confidential basis, to Lenders and to any potential assignees or participants. Any Lender that is selected in accordance with the foregoing provisions is referred to as a “Permitted Lender”, it being understood that no Disqualified Lender may be a Permitted Lender. In connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), the Company agrees, at the request of the Arranger, to enter into one or more customary joinder agreements to this Commitment Letter and/or an amendment and restatement of this Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Joinder Documentation”) reasonably acceptable to the Arranger and the Company, in each case, pursuant to which any Permitted Lender may become a party hereto and extend a commitment in respect of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) directly to the Company, which may contain provisions determined by the Arranger in accordance with the syndication provisions set forth above, and in consultation with the Company, with respect to the allocation of titles and roles, rights and responsibilities in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), the allocation of any reductions in the amount of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) and the allocation to such Permitted Lender of certain fees provided for in the Fee Letters (but which will not add any new conditions to the availability of the Bridge Facility, change the amount or terms of the Bridge Facility or increase the aggregate compensation payable by the Company in connection therewith as set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the Fee Letters or make any other changes hereto not contemplated above). The commitment of JPMorgan hereunder with respect to the Bridge Facility (and the applicable Tranche thereof) shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar and, to the extent of such reduction and subject to the final paragraph of this Section 3, JPMorgan shall be released from its obligations solely with respect thereto (it being understood that the remaining commitment of JPMorgan shall continue in full force and effect), as and when commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility (or any Tranche thereof) are received from any Permitted Lender upon such Permitted Lender becoming a party to this Commitment Letter pursuant to the Joinder Documentation. The commitments and other obligations of JPMorgan and any Permitted Lender that becomes a party hereto are and shall be several and not joint.

3

Until the earlier of (a) the date on which a Successful Syndication is achieved and (b) 60 days after the Closing Date (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), you agree to actively assist, and to use commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement) to cause the Seller and the Acquired Business to actively assist, the Arranger in completing the syndication of the Bridge Facility reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger and to you. Such assistance shall include (i) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that arrangement and syndication efforts benefit from your and your subsidiaries’ existing relationships with banks and other financial institutions, (ii) a reasonable amount of direct contact between your senior management, representatives and advisors, on the one hand, and the prospective Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) your assistance in the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum (the “Confidential Information Memorandum”) and other customary marketing materials (including a customary lender presentation) to be used in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) in form and substance customary for transactions of this type and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Party and to you (collectively, the “Information Materials”), (iv) the hosting, with the Arranger, of one or, if determined reasonably necessary, more meetings (which may be virtual) of or conference calls with the prospective Lenders at reasonable times and at reasonable locations to be mutually agreed upon and upon reasonable advance notice and (v) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the commencement of the marketing period for the Senior Notes, public corporate ratings (but no specific rating) of the Company and public ratings (but no specific rating) of the Company’s senior unsecured, non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money from each of Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”), in each case taking into account the Transactions. In addition, you agree, prior to the Syndication Date, promptly to prepare and provide, and to use your commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement) to cause the Seller and the Acquired Business promptly to prepare and provide, to the Arranger all customary financial and other information with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries, the Acquired Business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial projections, estimates and forecasts and other forward-looking information (the “Projections”), as the Arranger may reasonably request in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof). It is also understood that, without limiting your representation and warranty set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Company, the Seller and the Acquired Business will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would, in such person’s good faith judgment, violate (A) any attorney-client privilege (or result in the loss thereof), (B) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, the Seller or their respective subsidiaries or (C) any obligation of confidentiality to a third party binding on the Company, the Seller or their respective subsidiaries (so long as such confidentiality obligation was not entered into in contemplation of the Transactions and the Company and its applicable subsidiaries use, and the Company uses its commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement) to cause the Seller or its applicable subsidiaries to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of any such confidentiality obligation); provided that you provide us with notice of the existence of any such information that is being withheld. You hereby authorize us to download copies of your trademark logos from your website and to post copies thereof and any Information Materials to a deal site on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other appropriate electronic platform chosen by the Arranger to be its electronic transmission system (an “Electronic Platform”) established by the Arranger to syndicate the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), and to use your trademark logos on the Confidential Information Memorandum and other Information Materials or in any advertisements that we may place after the Closing Date in financial and other newspapers, journals, the internet or otherwise, at our own expense, describing our services to you hereunder, in each case, that are provided to you for prior review and to which you consent in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If requested by the Company or the Arranger, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith and to use reasonable efforts to finalize, execute and deliver the Bridge Credit Agreement (initial drafts of which shall be prepared by counsel to the Arranger) as soon as reasonably practical following the date hereof.

4

You acknowledge that certain prospective Lenders (such Lenders, “Public Lenders”; all other prospective Lenders, “Private Lenders”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive Private Lender Information (as defined below). You agree, at the request of the Arranger, to assist (and to use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement, to cause the Seller and the Acquired Business to assist) in the preparation of a version of the Information Materials consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is either (a) publicly available or (b) not material with respect to the Company, the Seller or their respective subsidiaries, or any securities of any of the foregoing, for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender Information”; and any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”). Before distribution of any Information Materials, to the extent requested by Arranger, you agree to execute and deliver to the Arranger a customary authorization letter in which you authorize distribution of the Information Materials to the prospective Lenders, which shall include a customary representation by you as to the accuracy of the Information Materials and, in the case of Information Materials intended to contain solely Public Lender Information, a representation that such Information Materials do not contain any Private Lender Information. You further agree that each document to be disseminated by the Arranger to any prospective Lender in connection with the Bridge Facility will, at the request of the Arranger, be identified by you as either (i) containing Private Lender Information or (ii) containing solely Public Lender Information. You acknowledge that the following documents may be distributed to Public Lenders, unless you notify the Arranger promptly (including by e-mail) within a reasonable period of time prior to the intended distribution that any such document contains Private Lender Information (provided that each such document has been provided to you for review a reasonable period of time prior thereto): (A) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Bridge Facility, (B) administrative materials prepared by any of the Arranger or the Administrative Agent for the prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda) and (C) notification of changes in the terms of the Bridge Facility.

5

To ensure an orderly and successful syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), prior to the Syndication Date the Company and its subsidiaries will not, and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement) to ensure that the Acquired Business does not, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Arranger (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), syndicate or issue, or announce the syndication or issuance of, any debt facility or any debt security of the Company, its subsidiaries or the Acquired Business, including any renewals or refinancings of any existing debt facility or debt security, or any equity security of the Company, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to materially impair the general syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), other than (a) the Bridge Facility, (b) the Senior Notes, (c) the Term Facility, (d) the Revolving Facility, (e) any intercompany indebtedness among the Company and/or its subsidiaries, (f) capital leases, letters of credit, foreign subsidiary working capital facilities, purchase money and equipment financings or other similar obligations, in each case, incurred in the ordinary course of business, (g) any indebtedness of the Acquired Business permitted to be incurred by the Acquired Business after the date hereof but prior to the Closing Date, or permitted to remain outstanding on the Closing Date, in each case, under the Acquisition Agreement, (h) other indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding US$100,000,000 and (i) the issuance of equity securities of the Company pursuant to employee stock plans, compensation plans or other benefit or employee or director incentive arrangements (including, for the avoidance of doubt, employee and director 401(k) plans).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, (a) without limiting the conditions expressly set forth in Exhibit C to this Commitment Letter or your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Commitment Party’s commitment hereunder is not subject to or conditioned upon syndication (or your assistance with respect to such syndication) of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), and that none of the commencement or completion of the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) nor the obtaining of ratings as set forth above shall constitute a condition to the availability or funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date and (b) notwithstanding our right to syndicate the Bridge Facility and to receive commitments with respect thereto, except (i) in respect of assignments of all or any portion of the Commitment Party’s commitment hereunder in respect of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) to a Permitted Lender (A) that has been agreed to by the Company and the Arranger in writing (including by email) to be a prospective Lender as part of the Syndication Plan, (B) that becomes a party hereto pursuant to the applicable Joinder Documentation with the consent of the Company or (C) that is a commercial or investment bank that, in the case of this clause (C), at the time of such assignment has corporate rating (however denominated) or senior unsecured, non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness rating from S&P that is BBB- or higher or from Moody’s that is Baa3 or higher (any person satisfying the requirements of clause (A), (B) or (C) above being referred to as a “Specified Permitted Lender”) and (ii) in respect of assignments between the Commitment Party and its affiliates as expressly provided in Section 9 hereof, (x) the Commitment Party shall not be relieved, released or novated from its commitment hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date) in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) until after the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date has occurred, (y) no assignment or novation in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) shall become effective (as between the Company and the Commitment Party) with respect to all or any portion of the Commitment Party’s commitment hereunder until after the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date has occurred and (z) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company (in its sole discretion), the Commitment Party shall retain control over all of its rights and obligations with respect to its commitment hereunder, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, waivers and amendments hereof, until after the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date has occurred.

4. Information. You hereby represent and warrant that (a) all written information, other than the Projections and other forward-looking information and other than information of a general economic or industry-specific nature (the “Information”), that has been or will be made available to the Commitment Party or the Lenders by or on behalf of you or any of your subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder does not or will not, at the time furnished, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (in each case, after giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto); provided that, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, with respect to any Information regarding the Seller, its subsidiaries or the Acquired Business, the foregoing representation and warranty is made only to your knowledge; and (b) the Projections or other forward-looking information that has been or will be furnished to the Commitment Party or the Lenders by or on behalf of you or your subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that you believe to be reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections or other forward-looking information are so furnished (it being understood that the Projections and other forward-looking information are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are out of your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized, that the Projections or other forward-looking information is not a guarantee of financial performance and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material). You agree that if, at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, the representation and warranty in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect (to your knowledge insofar as it applies to the information regarding the Seller, its subsidiaries or, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, the Acquired Business) if the Information or the Projections were being furnished at such time and such representation and warranty were being made at such time, then you will promptly notify us and supplement (or, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, with respect to information regarding the Seller, its subsidiaries or the Acquired Business use commercially reasonably efforts (to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement) to cause the Seller and the Acquired Business to supplement) the Information, the Projections or other forward-looking statements so that such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (to your knowledge insofar as it applies to the information regarding the Seller, its subsidiaries or, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, the Acquired Business). In structuring, syndicating and arranging the Bridge Facility, we will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and the Projections without independent verification thereof, and you acknowledge and agree that we will have no obligation to conduct any independent evaluation or appraisal of your or your subsidiaries’ assets or liabilities or the assets or liabilities of the Acquired Business or any other person or to advise or opine on any solvency issues. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that the Commitment Party’s commitment hereunder is not subject to or conditioned upon the accuracy of the representation and warranty set forth in this Section 4, and the accuracy of such representation and warranty does not constitute a condition to the availability of the Bridge Facility (or any Tranche thereof) on the Closing Date.

5. Fees. As consideration for the Commitment Party’s commitment hereunder and the Arranger’s agreement to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay the fees set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the arranger fee letter dated the date hereof (the “Arranger Fee Letter”), and the administrative agent fee letter dated the date hereof (the “Administrative Agent Fee Letter” and, together with the Arranger Fee Letter, the “Fee Letters”), in each case, between JPMorgan and you, as and when provided therein.

7. Limitation of Liability; Indemnification; Expenses. It is agreed that (a) in no event shall the Commitment Party or any of its affiliates or any of the respective officers, directors, members, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons and representatives of the foregoing (collectively, the “Arranger-Related Persons”) or the Company or any of its affiliates, in each case, have any Liabilities (as defined below), on any theory of liability, for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages incurred by the Company, its affiliates or its or their respective equity holders or by the Commitment Party or any of its affiliates, as applicable, in each case, arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Bridge Facility, the Bridge Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any related transactions or its activities related to any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing shall not limit the Company’s or any of its affiliates’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Commitment Letter, the Bridge Credit Agreement or in any other written agreements to which the Company or any such affiliate is a party, and (b) no Arranger-Related Person shall have any Liabilities, on any theory of liability, arising from, or be responsible for, any damages arising from the use by others of any Information Materials or other materials (including any personal data) obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems (including an Electronic Platform or otherwise via the internet), except to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Commitment Party or its Related Arranger Parties (as defined below). You and we agree, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to not assert any claims against any Arranger-Related Person or you or your affiliates, as applicable, inconsistent with the foregoing. As used herein, the term “Liabilities” shall mean any losses, claims (including intraparty claims), demands, damages or liabilities of any kind; and the term “Related Arranger Party” means, with respect to any specified person, (i) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such specified person, (ii) the respective officers, directors and employees of such specified person or any of its controlling persons or controlled affiliates and (iii) the respective agents of such specified person or any of its controlling persons or controlled affiliates, in the case of this clause (iii), acting at the instructions of such specified person or such controlling person or such controlled affiliate; provided that each reference to a controlled affiliate or controlling person in this definition pertains to a controlled affiliate or controlling person involved in the negotiation or syndication of this Commitment Letter and the Bridge Facility.

You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless the Commitment Party and its affiliates and the respective officers, directors, members, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons and representatives of the foregoing (collectively, the “indemnified persons”) from and against any and all Liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, joint or several, to which any indemnified person may become subject arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Bridge Facility, the use of the proceeds thereof, the Bridge Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any related transaction or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration, administrative or regulatory action or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in respect to enforcing the terms of this Section 7) (each, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether commenced by the Company, the Seller, any of their respective affiliates or any other person, of whether any indemnified person is a party thereto and of whether based in contract, tort or any other theory, and to reimburse each indemnified person upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing (which legal expenses shall be limited to one firm of counsel for all the indemnified persons, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all the indemnified persons, taken as a whole, and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional firm of counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one additional firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) to the affected indemnified persons that are similarly situated, taken as a whole); provided that the foregoing indemnity and expense reimbursement will not, as to any indemnified person, apply to any Liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person or its Related Arranger Parties in performing the services that are the subject hereof or (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such indemnified person or its Related Arranger Parties to fund under this Commitment Letter or the Bridge Credit Agreement; provided further that the foregoing indemnity will not apply to any Proceeding solely between or among indemnified persons (other than any Proceeding against any indemnified person in its capacity as the administrative agent, any other agent, an arranger, a bookrunner or similar role (in each case, acting in its capacity as, or fulfilling its role as, such)) not arising from any act or omission by the Company or any of its affiliates; and (b) regardless of whether the transactions or borrowings contemplated by this Commitment Letter are consummated, to reimburse the Commitment Party and its affiliates upon demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, due diligence expenses, syndication expenses and reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the Bridge Facility and any related documentation (including the preparation of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters and the Bridge Credit Agreement) or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver thereof.

9

You shall not, without the prior written consent of the Commitment Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any Proceedings in respect of which indemnity has been or could have been sought hereunder by any indemnified person unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Party from all Liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings and (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified person or any injunctive relief or other non-monetary remedy. You acknowledge that any failure to comply with your obligations under the preceding sentence may cause irreparable harm to the Commitment Party and the other indemnified persons.

8. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship; Sharing Information; Affiliate Activities. You acknowledge that we and our affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including, without limitation, financial advisory services) to other persons that have or may have interests conflicting with your interests with respect to the transactions described herein and otherwise. We will not use confidential information obtained from you or your subsidiaries in the course of the transactions contemplated hereby (and not otherwise in our or any of our affiliates’ possession or publicly available) in connection with the performance by us of services for other companies, and we will not furnish any such information to other companies in the course of performing such services. You also acknowledge that we have no obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or furnish to you, confidential information obtained by us or any of our affiliates from other persons.

You agree that the Commitment Party and any of its affiliates through which it will be acting will act under this Commitment Letter as independent contractors and that nothing in this Commitment Letter will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Commitment Party or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and you, your affiliates or your or their equity holders, on the other hand. You acknowledge and agree that (a) the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Commitment Party and, if applicable, its affiliates, on the one hand, and you, on the other, (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction, the Commitment Party and, if applicable, its affiliates are acting solely as a principal and have not been, are not and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary of you, your affiliates or your or their management or equityholders or any other person and (c) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, the Commitment Party and, if applicable, its affiliates has not assumed (i) an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of you or your affiliates (irrespective of whether the Commitment Party or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising you or your affiliates on other matters (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes acting as a financial advisor to the Company or any of its affiliates in respect of any transaction related hereto)) or (ii) any other obligation except the obligations expressly set forth in this Commitment Letter. You further acknowledge and agree that (A) you are responsible for making your own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto, (B) you are capable of evaluating and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Commitment Party and its affiliates shall have no responsibility or liability to you with respect thereto, and (C) the Commitment Party and its affiliates are not advising you as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction, and you shall consult with your own advisors concerning such matters and you shall be responsible for making your own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby. Any review by the Commitment Party or any of its affiliates of the Company, its subsidiaries, the Acquired Business, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Commitment Party and shall not be on behalf of the Company. The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Commitment Party or any of its affiliates has rendered any advisory services, or assert any claim against the Commitment Party or any of its affiliates based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Commitment Party or any of its affiliates in connection with this Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby or assert any claim based on any actual or potential conflict of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from the engagement of the Commitment Party or any of its affiliates acting as a financial advisor to the Company or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and the engagement of the Commitment Party hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby, on the other hand.

10

You further agree that the Commitment Party, together with its affiliates, is a full service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as in providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, we and our affiliates may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own account and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, you and your subsidiaries and other companies with which you or your subsidiaries may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any of us, any of our respective affiliates or any of our or their customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

The parties hereto acknowledge that JPMorgan has been retained by the Company as financial advisor (in such capacity, the “Financial Advisor”) in connection with the Acquisition. The Company agrees not to assert any claim it might allege based on any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from such engagement of the Financial Advisor, on the one hand, and JPMorgan and its affiliates’ relationships with the Company as described and referred to herein, on the other. Each person that becomes a party hereto pursuant to the Joinder Documentation acknowledges that (a) JPMorgan has been retained by the Company as the Financial Advisor and (b) such relationship does not create any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to such person on the part of JPMorgan or its affiliates.

9. Assignments; Amendments; Governing Law, Waiver of Jury Trial. No party to this Commitment Letter may assign this Commitment Letter or any commitments or agreements hereunder to any other person without the prior written consent of each other party hereto (and any purported assignment without such consent will be null and void); provided that (a) the Commitment Party may assign its commitment hereunder in respect of the Bridge Facility (including in respect of either Tranche thereof) and its agreements hereunder, in whole or in part, (i) to any of its affiliates, provided that the Commitment Party shall not be released from the portion of its commitment hereunder so assigned to the extent such affiliate fails to fund the portion of the commitment assigned to it on the Closing Date notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to funding set forth in Exhibit C hereto, and (ii) to any Permitted Lender that becomes party to this Commitment Letter pursuant to the Joinder Documentation as provided for in Section 3 above, and upon any such assignment, the Commitment Party will (in the case of this clause (ii), only to the extent consistent with the last paragraph of Section 3 above) be released solely from that portion of its commitment (if applicable, in respect of such Tranche) and agreements that has been so assigned, and (b) the Commitment Party’s agreements hereunder (other than the funding of its commitments) may be performed by or through its affiliates (including J.P. Morgan Securities LLC).

B-4

| For purposes of determining the amount of any required commitment reduction or prepayment of loans under the Bridge Facility, the U.S. dollar equivalent of any Net Cash Proceeds or, in the case of a Qualifying Loan Facility, commitments denominated in a currency other than US dollars will be determined based on customary exchange rates prevailing at the time of receipt by the Company or its subsidiaries of such Net Cash Proceeds or such commitments. Any required commitment reduction resulting from any of the foregoing shall be effective on the same day as such Net Cash Proceeds are actually received or, in the case of any Qualifying Loan Facility, the date of effectiveness of the definitive credit or similar agreement with respect thereto. Any required prepayment of loans resulting from any of the foregoing shall be made on or prior to the fifth business day after such Net Cash Proceeds are received. The Company shall provide the Administrative Agent with prompt notice of any event giving rise to a requirement for a commitment reduction or prepayment of loans under the Bridge Facility.

B-5

| All required commitment reductions and prepayments of loans under the Bridge Facility resulting from (a) the effectiveness of, or borrowings under, any Qualifying Loan Facility that is a “pro rata” facility or the incurrence of any other debt for borrowed money under a “pro rata” facility shall be applied first to commitments or loans under Tranche 1 and then to commitments or loans under Tranche 2, (b) the issuance and sale of any debt or equity securities (including the Senior Notes, any debt securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, hybrid debt-equity securities and other equity-linked securities) or any incurrence of other debt for borrowed money (other than under any “pro rata” facility) shall be applied first to commitments or loans under Tranche 2 and then to commitments or loans under Tranche 1 and (c) any other mandatory commitment reduction or prepayment shall be applied ratably to commitments or loans under Tranche 1 and Tranche 2. All required commitment reductions and prepayments of loans under the Bridge Facility will be made without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of LIBO Rate borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period, and will be applied ratably to the commitments or loans of each Lender under the applicable Tranche.

Interest Rates: | Interest will accrue at, at the option of the Company, a rate per annum equal to (a) Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (b) the ABR plus the Applicable Margin, in each case as shown on the Pricing Grid set forth below. The Company may elect interest periods of 1 or 3 months for LIBO Rate borrowings. Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of ABR loans when determined on the basis of the Prime Rate) and interest shall be payable at the end of each interest period and upon any prepayment or repayment on the amount prepaid or repaid. Interest on overdue amounts will accrue, in the case of principal, at the rates otherwise applicable plus 2% per annum or, in the case of amounts other than principal, interest accruing on ABR loans plus 2% per annum. “ABR” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day; (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% per annum; and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such day (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) for a deposit in U.S. dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1%. For purposes of clause (c) above, the Adjusted LIBO Rate on any day shall be based on the LIBO Screen Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day for deposits in U.S. dollars with a maturity of one month (or, if the LIBO Screen Rate is not available for a maturity of one month but is available for periods both longer and shorter than such period, the Interpolated Screen Rate as of such time); provided that (i) if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero and (ii) if such rate shall not be available, such rate shall be deemed to be zero. Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as the case may be. “Adjusted LIBO Rate” means the LIBO Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities. “Federal Funds Effective Rate” means, for any day, the rate calculated by the NYFRB based on such day’s federal funds transactions by depositary institutions, as determined in such manner as shall be set forth on the NYFRB Website from time to time, and published on the next succeeding business day by the NYFRB as the federal funds effective rate, provided that if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero.

| “Interpolated Screen Rate” means, with respect to any Adjusted LIBO Rate borrowing for any interest period or clause (c) of the definition of ABR, a rate per annum (rounded to the same number of decimal places as the LIBO Screen Rate) determined by the Administrative Agent (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that results from interpolating on a linear basis between (a) the LIBO Screen Rate for the longest maturity for which a LIBO Screen Rate is available that is shorter than the applicable period and (b) the LIBO Screen Rate for the shortest maturity for which a LIBO Screen Rate is available that is longer than the applicable period, in each case as of the time the Interpolated Screen Rate is otherwise required to be determined in accordance with the Bridge Credit Agreement; provided that if such rate would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero. “LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any borrowing for any interest period, the LIBO Screen Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two business days prior to the commencement of such interest period; provided that if the LIBO Screen Rate shall not be available at such time for such interest period, then the LIBO Rate shall be the Interpolated Rate. “LIBO Screen Rate” means, with respect to any borrowing for any interest period or in respect of any determination of ABR pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of such term, the London interbank offered rate as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (or any other person that takes over the administration of such rate) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period equal in length to the applicable period as displayed on the Reuters screen that displays such rate (currently LIBOR01 or LIBOR02) (or, in the event such rate does not appear on a page of the Reuters screen, on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate as shall be selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion) (or, in the event such rate does not appear on a Reuters screen, on any successor or substitute page on such screen that displays such rate, or on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that if the LIBO Screen Rate as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero.

B-I-2

| “NYFRB” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. “NYFRB Rate” means, for any day, the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate in effect on such day (or for any day that is not a business day, for the immediately preceding business day); provided that if none of such rates are published for any day that is a business day, the term “NYFRB Rate” means the rate for a federal funds transaction quoted at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day received by the Administrative Agent from a federal funds broker of recognized standing selected by it; provided, further, that if any of the aforesaid rates as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero. “NYFRB Website” means the website of the NYFRB at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source. “Overnight Bank Funding Rate” means, for any day, the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight Eurodollar borrowings by U.S.-managed banking offices of depository institutions, as such composite rate shall be determined by the NYFRB as set forth on the NYFRB Website from time to time, and published on the next succeeding business day by the NYFRB as an overnight bank funding rate. “Prime Rate” means the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the United States or, if The Wall Street Journal ceases to quote such rate, the highest per annum interest rate published by the Federal Reserve Board in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (Selected Interest Rates) as the “bank prime loan” rate or, if such rate is no longer quoted therein, any similar rate quoted therein (as determined by the Administrative Agent) or any similar release by the Federal Reserve Board (as determined by the Administrative Agent). Each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective from and including the date such change is publicly announced or quoted as being effective. “Reuters” means Thomson Reuters Corporation, Refinitiv or, in each case, a successor thereto.

B-I-3

| The Bridge Credit Agreement will contain customary “hardwired approach” provisions addressing discontinuance of the LIBO Rate.

Duration Fees: | The Company will pay a fee (the “Duration Fee”) to each Lender on each date set forth in the grid below in an amount equal to the percentage, determined in accordance with the grid below, of the principal amount of the loan under the Bridge Facility of such Lender outstanding at the close of business, New York City time, on such date: Duration Fees

| 0.50 | % |  |  | 0.75 | % |  |  | 1.00 | %

| Each of the percentages for the Duration Fees set forth in the grid above will increase by 0.25% if a Non-Investment Grade Ratings Event shall have occurred. A “Non-Investment Grade Ratings Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) the Company shall have obtained Ratings from any two (but not all three) of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, and both of such Ratings do not constitute Investment Grade, (b) the Company shall have obtained Ratings from all three of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, and two or more of such Ratings do not constitute Investment Grade or (c) as of the fifth business day after the Closing Date, the Company shall not have a Rating from at least two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch. “Rating” means, with respect to S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, a rating by such rating agency of the Company’s senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money, giving pro forma effect to the Transactions, as announced in a public release by such rating agency. “Investment Grade” means (a) with respect to S&P, a rating of BBB- or higher, (b) with respect to Moody’s, a rating of Baa3 or higher and (c) with respect to Fitch, a rating of BBB- or higher.

The Applicable Margin will increase, in each Pricing Category, by 0.25% per annum on each of the 90th, 180th and 270th day after the Closing Date.

For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if any of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch shall not have in effect a Rating (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), (i) if only one rating agency shall not have in effect a Rating, the applicable Pricing Category shall be determined by reference to the remaining two effective Ratings, (ii) if two rating agencies shall not have in effect a Rating, one of such rating agencies shall be deemed to have in effect a Rating in Pricing Category 5 and the applicable Pricing Category shall be determined by reference to such deemed Rating and the remaining effective Rating and (iii) if no rating agency shall have in effect a Rating, then Pricing Category 5 shall apply, (b) if the Ratings in effect or deemed to be in effect shall fall within different Pricing Categories, then (i) if three Ratings are in effect, then either (x) if two of the three Ratings are in the same Pricing Category, such Pricing Category shall apply or (y) if all three of the Ratings are in different Pricing Categories, then the Pricing Category corresponding to the middle Rating shall apply and (ii) if only two Ratings are in effect or deemed to be in effect, the applicable Pricing Category shall be the Pricing Category in which the higher of the Ratings shall fall unless the Ratings differ by two or more Pricing Categories, in which case the applicable Pricing Category shall be the Pricing Category one level below that corresponding to the higher Rating and (c) if any Rating shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of the applicable rating agency), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first publicly announced by the applicable rating agency making such change, irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Each change in the Pricing Category for any Rating shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch shall change, or if such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations and corporate credit, the Company and the Bridge Required Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Pricing Grid to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of Ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Rating used to determine the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Ticking Fee Rate shall be deemed to be that most recently in effect from such rating agency prior to such change or cessation.

Summary of Conditions Precedent

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit C is attached.

The borrowing under the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date shall only be subject to the following conditions precedent:

1. The Arranger shall have received a copy of the Acquisition Agreement, and the Acquisition Agreement shall be satisfactory to the Arranger (it being acknowledged by the Arranger that the Acquisition Agreement provided to the Arranger’s counsel at 10:56 p.m., New York City time, on April 21, 2021, is satisfactory to the Arranger).

The financial statements delivered in respect of each of clauses (a) and (b) shall be prepared in a form consistent with the requirements of Regulation S-X. The Arranger hereby acknowledges that the Company’s public filing with the SEC of any required financial statements will satisfy the applicable requirements of this paragraph, provided that a subsequent Form 8-K, Item 4.02 has not been filed with respect to the financial statements included therein.

4. At the time of and upon giving effect to the borrowing and application of the loans under the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date, (a) the Acquisition Agreement Representations (as defined below) shall be true and correct, (b) the Specified Representations (as defined below) shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier set forth therein) and (c) there shall not exist any event of default under the Bridge Credit Agreement relating to (i) non-payment of amounts due under the Bridge Facility or (ii) bankruptcy or insolvency events in respect of the Company.

7. The Company shall have paid all fees, expenses and other amounts payable by it under the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters or the Bridge Credit Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of expenses and other amounts, to the extent invoiced at least two business days prior to the Closing Date).

Notwithstanding anything in the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Bridge Credit Agreement or any other agreement or undertaking relating to the Bridge Facility to the contrary, (a) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date shall be (i) such of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders (in their capacities as such), but only to the extent that the Company (or any of its affiliates) has the right to terminate its (or its affiliate’s) obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or the right to elect not to consummate the Acquisition as a result of any inaccuracy of such representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations and (b) the Bridge Credit Agreement and the Closing Deliverables, to the extent not expressly set forth in the Exhibits to the Commitment Letter, shall be in a form such that they do not impair the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date if the conditions expressly set forth in this Exhibit C are satisfied (it being understood that nothing in the preceding clause (a) will be construed to limit the applicability of the individual conditions set forth herein). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Bridge Credit Agreement relating to due organization and existence of the Company; requisite power and authority of the Company to enter into the Bridge Credit Agreement; due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of the Bridge Credit Agreement and enforceability of the Bridge Credit Agreement against the Company; no conflict of the Bridge Credit Agreement and the transactions thereunder with the Company’s organizational documents; Investment Company Act; Federal Reserve margin regulations; solvency as of the Closing Date of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis after giving effect to the Transactions (solvency to be defined in a manner consistent with Exhibit D to the Commitment Letter); and the use of proceeds (including the use of proceeds on the Closing Date not violating any applicable anti-corruption laws, anti-money laundering laws and sanctions).
