EXECUTION VERSION



(i) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees, subject to the
limitations set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of Revolving Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to lend to Company from time to time during the period from the Restatement Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan
Commitment Termination Date an aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments to be used for the purposes identified in subsection 2.5A. The amount of each Revolving Lenders
Revolving Loan Commitment, as of the Restatement Date, is set forth opposite its name on Schedule 2.1 annexed hereto, and the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as of the Restatement Date, is $250,000,000; provided that the amount
of the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be adjusted to give effect to any assignment of such Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to subsection 10.1B and shall be reduced from time to time by the amount of any reductions
thereto made pursuant to subsection 2.4. Each Revolving Lenders Revolving Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Revolving Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Revolving

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be

(ii) Swing Line Loans.

(a) General Provisions. Swing Line Lender hereby agrees, subject to the limitations set forth in the last paragraph of subsection 2.1A(i) and set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of Swing Line
Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to make a portion of the Revolving Loan Commitments available to Company from time to time during the period from the Restatement Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination
Date by making Swing Line Loans to Company in an aggregate amount not exceeding the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment to be used for the purposes identified in subsection 2.5A, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when

Swing Line Loan Commitment is $5,000,000; provided that any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount made pursuant to subsection 2.4 that reduces the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount to an amount less than the then current amount of
the Swing Line Loan Commitment shall result in an automatic corresponding

EXECUTION VERSION



reduction of the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment to the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as so reduced, without any further action on
the part of Company, Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing
Line Loans shall be paid in full no later than that date. Amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(ii) may be repaid and reborrowed to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Swing Line Loan Prepayment with Proceeds of Revolving Loans. With respect to any Swing Line Loans that have not been
voluntarily prepaid by Company pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i), Swing Line Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Company), no later than 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the
first Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date, a notice requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on such Funding Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the Refunded
Swing Line Loans) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Company hereby authorizes the giving of any such notice and the making of any such Revolving Loans. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
(1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Company) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the
Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender, and
such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note, if any, of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line
Lenders outstanding Revolving Loans and shall be due under the Revolving Note, if any, of Swing Line Lender. Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Companys accounts with Administrative Agent and
Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders, including the
Revolving Loan deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of
Company from Swing Line Lender in any bankruptcy proceeding, in any assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by
subsection 10.5.

EXECUTION VERSION



(c) Swing Line Loan Assignments. On the Funding Date of each Swing Line Loan,
each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, purchase an assignment of such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share. If for any reason (1) Revolving Loans are not made upon the request of Swing Line Lender as
provided in the immediately preceding paragraph in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to Swing Line Lender in respect of such Swing Line Loan or (2) the Revolving Loan Commitments are terminated at a time when such Swing Line Loan
is outstanding, upon notice from Swing Line Lender as provided below, each Revolving Lender shall fund the purchase of such assignment in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (calculated, in the case of the foregoing clause (2), immediately prior
to such termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loan together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Days notice from Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender shall deliver to Swing Line
Lender such amount in same day funds at the Funding and Payment Office. In order to further evidence such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set forth above), each Revolving Lender agrees to enter
into an Assignment Agreement at the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Swing Line Lender. In the event any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Swing Line Lender any amount as provided in this
paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business
Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. In the event Swing Line Lender receives a payment of any amount with respect to which other Revolving Lenders have funded the purchase of assignments as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall
promptly distribute to each such other Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment.

(d) Revolving Lenders
Obligations. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Revolving Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1A(ii)(b) and each
Revolving Lenders obligation to purchase an assignment of any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or a
Potential Event of Default; (3) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (4) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document by any party thereto; or (5) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Revolving Lender are subject to the condition that
(x) Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 4

EXECUTION VERSION



to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, were satisfied at the time such Refunded
Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made or (y) the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived in accordance with subsection 10.6 prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing
Line Loans were made.

B. Borrowing Mechanics. Loans made on any Funding Date (other than Swing Line Loans, Revolving Loans
made pursuant to a request by Swing Line Lender pursuant to subsection 2.1A(ii) or Revolving Loans made pursuant to subsection 3.3B) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Swing Line
Loans made on any Funding Date shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Whenever Company desires that Lenders make Revolving Loans it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a duly
executed Notice of Borrowing no later than 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan) or at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding
Date (in the case of a Base Rate Loan). Whenever Company desires that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a duly executed Notice of Borrowing no later than 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the
proposed Funding Date. Revolving Loans may be continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans in the manner provided in subsection 2.2D. In lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing, Company may give Administrative Agent
telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed borrowing under this subsection 2.1B; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a duly executed Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent on or
before the applicable Funding Date.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company in acting upon any
telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an Officer or other Person authorized to borrow on behalf of Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.1B or under
subsection 2.2D, and upon funding of Loans by Lenders, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2D, in each case in accordance with this
Agreement, pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected Loans or a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

Company shall notify Administrative Agent prior to the funding of any Loans in the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no longer true and
correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by Company of the proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by Company, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to which Company is required to certify in the
applicable Notice of Borrowing.

Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Notice of Borrowing for, or a Notice
of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to make a
borrowing or to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

EXECUTION VERSION



C. Disbursement of Funds. All Revolving Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and
proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lenders obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder nor shall the amount of the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular type of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lenders obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder. Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be,
of the proposed borrowing. Each such Lender (other than Swing Line Lender) shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the applicable Funding Date, and Swing Line Lender
shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (San Francisco time) on the applicable Funding Date, in each case in same day funds in Dollars, at the Funding and Payment Office. Except as
provided in subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsection 3.3B with respect to Revolving Loans used to repay Refunded Swing Line Loans or to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, upon satisfaction or waiver
of the conditions precedent specified in subsections 4.1 (in the case of Loans made on the Restatement Date) and 4.2 (in the case of all Loans), Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to Company on the applicable
Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of Company at the Funding and Payment Office.

Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to a Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to
Administrative Agent the amount of such Lenders Loan requested on such Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and Administrative Agent may, in
its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount on such Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative
Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agents demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify Company and Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate
payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this subsection 2.1C shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may have against any Lender as a
result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

EXECUTION VERSION



D. The Register.Administrative Agent, acting for these purposes solely as an agent of
Company (it being acknowledged that Administrative Agent, in such capacity, and its officers, directors, employees, agent and affiliates shall constitute Indemnitees under subsection 10.3), shall maintain (and make available for inspection by
Company upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times) at its address referred to in subsection 10.8 a register for the recordation of, and shall record, the names and addresses of Lenders and the respective amounts of the Revolving Loan
Commitment, Swing Line Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans of each Lender from time to time (the Register). Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the
Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof; all amounts owed with respect to any Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof;
and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee
of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. Each Lender shall record on its internal records the amount of its Loans and Commitments and each payment in respect hereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent
manifest error, subject to the entries in the Register, which shall, absent manifest error, govern in the event of any inconsistency with any Lenders records. Failure to make any recordation in the Register or in any Lenders records, or
any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Loans or Commitments or any Obligations in respect of any Loans.

E. Optional
Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Restatement Date or at any time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or,
if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to subsection 10.1) on the Restatement Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Restatement Date, promptly after Companys receipt
of such notice) a promissory note or promissory notes to evidence such Lenders Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, substantially in the form of Exhibit V or Exhibit VI annexed hereto, respectively, with appropriate insertions.



| | 2.2 | Interest on the Loans
| | --- | ---------------------

A. Rate of
Interest. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.6 and 2.7, each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined
by reference to the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7, each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate. The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Revolving Loan shall be selected by Company initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with
respect to such Loan pursuant to subsection 2.1B, and the basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Revolving Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to subsection 2.2D. If on any day a Revolving Loan is outstanding with
respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by
reference to the Base Rate.

B. Interest
Periods. In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan, Company may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an Interest Period)
to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Companys option, either a one, two, three or six month period; provided that:

(i) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a
Loan initially made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan;

(ii) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(iii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period would
otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically
corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this subsection 2.2B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;

(v) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination

EXECUTION VERSION



(vii) in the event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar
Rate Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.

C. Interest Payments. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2E, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that
Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity (including final maturity); provided that, in the event any Swing Line Loans or any Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i),
interest accrued on such Loans through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity).

D. Conversion or Continuation. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6, Company shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or
any part of its outstanding Revolving Loans equal to $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount from Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference
to an alternative basis or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar
Rate Loan; provided, however, that a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto.

Company shall deliver a duly executed Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) at least
one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation
of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). In lieu of delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D; provided
that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a duly executed Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on or before the proposed conversion/continuation date. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of
any Loan subject to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation.

E. Default Rate. From and after the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default if so elected by Requisite Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and any fees and other amounts
then due and payable hereunder, shall, from and after such occurrence, bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon demand by Administrative Agent at a
rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the
interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans); provided that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective
such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the



35

EXECUTION VERSION



interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this
subsection 2.2E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

F. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Loans shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day
year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of
the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as
the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of
such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one days interest shall be paid on that Loan.

G. Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.2, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by
Company with respect to any Loan exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

A. Commitment Fees. Company

granting participations therein), that Lender will make a notation thereon of all Loans evidenced by that Note and all principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest thereon has been paid; provided that the

| | 2.6 | Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as to the matters covered:

A. Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. On each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the
applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each applicable Lender.

B. Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any
Interest Rate Determination Date that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition
of Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted
to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Company and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by
Company with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan.

C.
Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation
with Company and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable, or
would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affect the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any
such event, such Lender shall be an Affected Lender and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and Administrative Agent of such determination. Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each other Lender of the receipt of such notice. Thereafter (a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the
Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Affected Lender shall
make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (c) the Affected Lenders obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the Affected Loans) shall be terminated at the
earlier to



43

EXECUTION VERSION



occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected Loans
shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall have the option, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation as to all Lenders by
giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above. Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each other Lender of the receipt of such notice. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as,
or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

D. Compensation For Breakage or
Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender pursuant to subsection 2.8, for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by that Lender to
lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for
any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request therefor, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate
Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request therefor, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (including any
prepayment or conversion occasioned by the circumstances described in subsection 2.6C) occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made
on any date specified in a Notice of Prepayment given by Company, or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by Company in the repayment of its Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement.

E. Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its
branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender.

F. Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A shall be made as though that Lender had funded each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the
rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period, whether or not its Eurodollar
Rate Loans had been funded in such manner.

G. Eurodollar Rate Loans After Default. After the occurrence of and during the
continuation of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, (i) Company may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan after



44



---

EXECUTION VERSION



the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan or, if the conditions to making a Loan set forth in subsection
4.2 cannot then be satisfied, to be rescinded by Company.



| | 2.7 | Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy
| | --- | ----------------------------------------

A. Compensation for Increased Costs. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7B (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (including Issuing Lender) shall determine
(which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Change in Law:

(i) subjects such Lender to any additional tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder (including with respect to issuing or maintaining any Letters of Credit or
purchasing or maintaining any participations therein or maintaining any Commitment hereunder) or any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder (except for the imposition of, or any change in the rate
of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender);

(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of
such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Eurodollar Rate); or

(iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to Taxes) on or affecting such Lender or its obligations hereunder or the
interbank Eurodollar market;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining its
Loans or Commitments or agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender with respect thereto;
then, in any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in subsection 2.8A, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest
or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Company shall not be
required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.7A for any increased cost or reduction in respect of a period occurring more than 270 days prior to the date on which such Lender notifies Company of such Change in Law and such
Lenders intention to claim compensation therefor, except, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, no such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender requests compensation within 270 days
from the date on which the applicable Government Authority informed such Lender of such Change in Law.

other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

(a) Company shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any
change in any such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it;

(b) Company shall timely pay any such Tax to the
relevant Government Authority when such Tax is due, in accordance with applicable law;

Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction been required or made; and

(d) within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any such deduction, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay,
Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of an official receipt or other document satisfactory to the other affected parties to evidence the payment and its remittance to the relevant Government Authority.

(iii) Indemnification by Company. Company shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this subsection 2.7B(iii)) paid
by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Company by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender,

(a) any Lender, if requested by Company or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such forms or other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by Company or Administrative Agent as will enable Company or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements;

Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7 would be materially reduced and (ii) as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, such action would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Lender; provided
that such Lender or Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of credit office pursuant to this subsection 2.8B unless Company agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a
result of utilizing such other lending or letter of credit office as described above.

Lender, a Subject Lender), so long as (i) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Company has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase
at par the Subject Lenders Loans and assume the Subject Lenders Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender is not an Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding

payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts (including all amounts under subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and/or 2.8B (if applicable)) through such date of replacement and a release from its obligations under the Loan Documents,
(b) the processing fee required to be paid by subsection 10.1B(i) shall have been paid to Administrative Agent (provided, however, that the Non-Consenting Lender or the Subject Lender shall not be required to pay such processing
fee), (c) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in subsection 10.1B, including the consent of Administrative Agent (if required) and the receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment Agreement executed by the
assignee (Administrative Agent being hereby authorized to execute any Assignment Agreement on behalf of a Subject Lender relating to the assignment of Loans and/or Commitments of such subject Lender) and other supporting documents, have been
fulfilled, and (d) in the event such Subject Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Subject Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and Company also
requires each other Subject Lender that is a Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments.

Agent and its counsel, provided that Administrative Agent shall have consented to any such Eligible Assignee becoming a Lender. Company shall have no right to increase Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.10 except to the
extent Company obtains the agreement of one or more Lenders and/or Eligible Assignees (and, in the case of any such Eligible Assignee, any requisite consent) to accept such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments. Nothing contained in this paragraph

representation and warranty shall be true, correct and complete as so qualified;

(B) no event has occurred and is
continuing or would result from the consummation of the requested increase in Revolving Loan Commitments that would constitute an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default;

C. Revolving Lenders

pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued hereunder:

(i) with respect to each Letter of Credit,
(a) a fronting fee, payable directly to Issuing Lender for its own account, equal to 0.25% per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (b) a letter of credit fee, payable to Administrative Agent

subsection 3.2, the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be determined as of the close of business on any date of determination.



| | 3.3 | Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Drawings. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Lender shall be responsible only

EXECUTION VERSION



B. Reimbursement by Company of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event
Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Company and Administrative Agent, and Company shall reimburse Issuing Lender on or before the Business Day immediately
following the date on which such drawing is honored (the Reimbursement Date) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such payment; provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Company shall have notified Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender prior to 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the date such drawing is honored that Company intends to reimburse Issuing Lender for the
amount of such payment with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on
the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such payment and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in subsection 4.2B, Revolving Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving
Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such payment, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment; and provided, further that if for any
reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Lender on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, Company shall reimburse Issuing Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess
of the amount of such payment over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this subsection 3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Revolving Lender resulting from the failure of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this subsection 3.3B.

C. Payment by Lenders of Unreimbursed Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.

(i) Payment by Revolving Lenders. In the event that Company shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Lender as provided in
subsection 3.3B in an amount equal to the amount of any payment by Issuing Lender, Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of
such Revolving Lenders respective participation therein based on such Revolving Lenders Pro Rata Share. Each Revolving Lender (other than Issuing Lender) shall make available to Administrative Agent an amount equal to its respective
participation, in Dollars, in same day funds, at the Funding and Payment Office, not later than 12:00 Noon (San Francisco time) on the first Business Day after the date notified by Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall make available
to Issuing Lender in Dollars, in same day funds, at the office of Issuing Lender on such Business Day the aggregate amount of the payments so received by Administrative Agent. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make available to
Administrative Agent on such Business Day the amount of such Revolving Lenders participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this subsection 3.3C, Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving
Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by Issuing Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base

EXECUTION VERSION



Rate. Nothing in this subsection 3.3C shall be deemed to prejudice the right of Administrative Agent to recover, for the benefit of Revolving Lenders, from
Issuing Lender any amounts made available to Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event that it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by Issuing
Lender in respect of which payments were made by Revolving Lenders constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Lender.

(ii) Distribution to Lenders of Reimbursements Received From Company. In the event Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of
any payment by Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, and Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender thereafter receives any payments from Company in reimbursement of such payment under the Letter of Credit, to the extent any such payment
is received by Issuing Lender, it shall distribute such payment to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall distribute to each other Revolving Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such
payment such Revolving Lenders Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Administrative Agent or by Issuing Lender from Company. Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at the account specified in subsection
2.4B(iii).

D. Interest on Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.

(i) Payment of Interest by Company. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, with respect to payments under any Letters of
Credit issued by Issuing Lender, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Lender in respect of each such payment from the date a drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by Company (including any such reimbursement out of
the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate then in effect under this Agreement with respect to
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (b) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Interest payable
pursuant to this subsection 3.3D(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made,
on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.

(ii) Distribution of Interest
Payments by Administrative Agent. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any payment of interest pursuant to subsection 3.3D(i) with respect to a payment under a Letter of Credit, (a) Administrative Agent shall distribute to
(x) each Revolving Lender (including Issuing Lender) out of the interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Lender is reimbursed for the
amount of such payment (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B), the amount that such Revolving Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would
have been payable

or any portion of such payment, Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Lender (including Issuing Lender) that has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such Revolving Lenders Pro
Rata Share of any interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of that portion of such payment so made by Revolving Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Lender was so reimbursed to but excluding the date on which such
portion of such payment is reimbursed by Company. Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at the account specified in subsection 2.4B(iii).

Any amounts described in clause (b) above, when received by Administrative Agent, shall be held by Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of

Section 9. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT



| | 9.1 | Appointment
| | --- | -----------

A. Appointment of
Administrative Agent. Wells Fargo is hereby appointed Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. Wells Fargo agrees to act upon the express conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Agents and Lenders and no
Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent (other than as provided in subsection 2.1D) shall act solely as an agent of
Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Company or any other Loan Party.

Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact
appointed by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of the duties of Administrative Agent and exercise the rights and powers of

EXECUTION VERSION



Administrative Agent by or through their respective Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Person and of
such Persons Affiliates (Related Parties). The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent.

B. Appointment of Supplemental Collateral Agents. It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no
violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights,
powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that Administrative Agent appoint an additional individual or
institution as a separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a Supplemental Collateral Agent and collectively as
Supplemental Collateral Agents).

In the event that Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with
respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to Administrative Agent with respect to such
Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such
Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be
enforceable by either Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 9 and of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 that refer to Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental
Collateral Agent and all references therein to Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require.

Should any instrument in writing from Company or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by Administrative
Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, Company shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon
request by Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to
the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

C. Control. Each Lender and Administrative Agent hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Administrative Agents security interest in assets that, in accordance with the UCC, can be perfected by
possession or control.

| | --- | -----------------------------------

A.
Powers; Duties Specified. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on such Lenders behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically
delegated or granted to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are
expressly specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or Company; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to
impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

B. No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other
documents furnished or made by such Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of Company to such Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of
Company or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall such Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any
of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default. Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof.

C. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or
omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by such Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct. An Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action
(including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have
received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the
case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions; provided that no Agent shall be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. Without prejudice to the generality of the

EXECUTION VERSION



foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in
relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Company and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against an
Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give
such instructions under subsection 10.6).

D. Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or
affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, an Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, an Agent shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term Lender or Lenders or any similar term shall, unless
the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. An Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of commercial banking,
investment banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Company for services in connection with
this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.



| | 9.3 | Independent Investigation by Lenders; No Responsibility For Appraisal of Creditworthiness
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Lender agrees that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries in
connection with the making of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its
possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.



| | 9.4 | Right to Indemnity
| | --- | ------------------

Each Lender, in
proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, professional advisors and Affiliates to the extent that any such Person shall not have been reimbursed by Company,
for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements and fees and disbursements of any financial advisor engaged by Agents) or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Agent or such other Person in exercising



96

EXECUTION VERSION



the powers, rights and remedies of an Agent or performing duties of an Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of an Agent resulting solely from such Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to an Agent or any other such
Person for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.



| | 9.5 | Resignation of Agents; Successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior written notice thereof to Lenders
and Company. Upon any such notice of resignation by Administrative Agent, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days notice to Company, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders and Company that no Person has accepted such appointment as successor Administrative Agent, such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with Administrative
Agents notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, except that any Collateral held by Administrative Agent will continue to be held by it until a Person
shall have accepted the appointment of successor Administrative Agent, and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by, to or through each Lender
directly, until such time as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with this subsection 9.5A. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that
successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement (if not already discharged as set forth above). After any retiring Agents resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

B. Successor Swing Line Lender. Any resignation of Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection 9.5A shall also constitute the resignation of Wells Fargo or its successor as Swing Line Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to subsection 9.5A shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
successor Swing Line Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event (i) Company shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the retiring Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (ii) upon such prepayment, the
retiring Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to Company for cancellation, and (iii) if so requested by the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender in accordance with subsection
2.1E,

hereto, in the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment then in effect and with other appropriate insertions.



| | 9.6 | Collateral Documents and Subsidiary Guaranty
| | --- | --------------------------------------------

Each Lender (which term shall include, for purposes of this subsection 9.6, any Swap Counterparty) hereby further authorizes (and, with respect to actions taken prior to the Restatement Date, ratifies the actions taken by) Administrative
Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to enter into each Collateral Document as secured party and to be the agent for and representative of Lenders under the Subsidiary Guaranty, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of each
Collateral Document and the Subsidiary Guaranty; provided that Administrative Agent shall not (i) enter into or consent to any material amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in any Collateral Document
or the Subsidiary Guaranty or (ii) release any Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Collateral Document), in each case without the prior consent of Requisite
Lenders (or, if required pursuant to subsection 10.6, all Lenders); provided further, however, that, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Administrative Agent may execute any documents or
instruments necessary to (a) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented, (b) release
any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty if all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company) pursuant to a sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or to which
Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented or (c) subordinate the Liens of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, to any Liens permitted by subsection 7.2A (except for Liens permitted by clause (iv) thereof); provided
that, in the case of a sale of such item of Collateral or stock referred to in subdivision (a) or (b), the requirements of subsection 10.14 are satisfied. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
Company, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (1) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or to enforce the Subsidiary Guaranty, it being understood and
agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents and the Subsidiary Guaranty may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and the
Subsidiary Guaranty, and (2) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any
such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the
purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral
payable by Administrative Agent at such sale.

Without derogating from any other authority granted to Administrative Agent herein or in
the Collateral Documents or any other document relating thereto, each Lender hereby specifically (i) authorizes Administrative Agent to enter into pledge agreements, security

agreements or any other agreements or instruments pursuant to this subsection 9.6 with respect to the Capital Stock of any existing and future Foreign
Subsidiaries, which agreements or instruments may be governed by the laws of each of the jurisdictions of formation of such Foreign Subsidiaries, as agent on behalf of each Lender, with the effect that Lenders each become a secured party thereunder
and (ii) appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact granting it the powers to execute each such agreement or instrument and any registrations of the security interest thereby created, in each case in its name and on its behalf, with
the effect that each Lender becomes a secured party thereunder. With respect to each such pledge agreement, Administrative Agent has the power to sub-delegate to third parties its powers as attorney-in-fact of each Lender.



| | 9.7 | Duties of Other Agents
| | --- | ----------------------

To the extent that
any Lender is identified in this Agreement as a co-agent, documentation agent or syndication agent, such Lender shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all
Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender.



| | 9.8 | Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Company or any of the Subsidiaries of Company, Administrative
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Company) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal
and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agents (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agents and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Agents under subsections 2.3 and 10.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agents under subsections 2.3 and 10.2.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization,

| | 10.1 | Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations in Loans and Letters of Credit
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. General. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders rights of assignment are subject to the further provisions of this subsection 10.1). Neither Companys rights or obligations hereunder nor any
interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Company without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Company without such consent shall be null and void). No sale, assignment or transfer or
participation of any Letter of Credit or any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Revolving Loan Commitment and the Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lender
effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or participation. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as provided in subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsection 10.5, the Swing Line Loan Commitment and the Swing Line Loans of Swing
Line Lender may not be sold, assigned or transferred as described below to any Person other than a successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to the extent contemplated by subsection 9.5. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of Administrative Agent and Lenders and
Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

B. Assignments.

(i) Amounts and Terms of Assignments. Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement; provided that (a), except (1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement or (2) in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Exposure of the assigning Lender and the assignee subject to each such assignment shall not be less than $5,000,000
(aggregating concurrent assignments to two or more Affiliated Funds for purposes of determining such minimum amount), unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, and any assignment of all or any portion of a Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit participation shall be made only as an assignment of the same
proportionate part of the

EXECUTION VERSION



assigning Lenders Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit participations, (c) the parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless the assignee is an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of the assignor, in which case no fee shall be required); provided
that only one such fee shall be required in connection with concurrent assignments to two or more Affiliated Funds, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent information reasonably requested by
Administrative Agent, including such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative
Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iv) and (d), except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, Administrative Agent and, if no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Company, shall have consented thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Upon
such execution, delivery and consent, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment Agreement, (y) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to
it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination of this Agreement under subsection 10.9B) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement
covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided that, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, if such Lender is Issuing Lender such Lender shall continue to act as Issuing Lender until it resigns or is removed as provided in Subsection 10.21). The assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as
promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Notes, if any, to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall, if so requested by the assignee and/or the assigning Lender in accordance with subsection 2.1E, be issued to
the assignee and/or to the assigning Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit V annexed hereto, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the amounts of the new Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans of the assignee and/or the
assigning Lender. Other than as provided in subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsection 10.5, any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 10.1B shall be treated for purposes
of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection 10.1C.

(ii) Acceptance by Administrative Agent; Recordation in Register. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing
and recordation fee referred to in subsection 10.1B(i) and any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters that such assignee may

be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iv), Administrative Agent shall, if Administrative Agent and Company have
consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (in each case to the extent such consent is required pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i)), (a) accept such Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance
shall evidence any required consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (c) give prompt notice thereof to Company. Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of
each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this subsection 10.1B(ii).

(iii) Deemed Consent
by Company. If the consent of Company to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified in subsection 10.1B(i)), Company shall
be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Company prior to such fifth Business Day.

C. Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, Company or Administrative Agent, sell participations to
one or more Persons (other than a natural Person or Company or any of its Affiliates) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and/or obligations under this Agreement; provided that (i) such Lenders obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver directly affecting (i) the extension of the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan allocated to such participation or (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of interest payable
on any Loan allocated to such participation. Subject to the further provisions of this subsection 10.1C, Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.6D and 2.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 10.1B. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to subsection 10.5 as though it were a Lender. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsections 2.6D and 2.7 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Companys prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.7 unless Company is notified of the participation
sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Company, to comply with subsection 2.7B(iv) as though it were a Lender.

D. Pledges and Assignments. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, and the other Obligations owed to such

Lender, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank; provided that
(i) no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment or pledge and (ii) in no event shall any assignee or pledgee be considered to be a Lender or be entitled to require the
assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

Company and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to subsection 10.19.

In addition to the payment of
expenses pursuant to subsection 10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless Agents and Lenders
(including Issuing Lenders), the Affiliates of Agents and Lenders and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents and advisors (collectively called the Indemnitees), from and against any and all Indemnified
Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that Company shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise solely from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Acquisition Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
(including Lenders agreement to make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof or the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or the use or intended use of any thereof, the failure of Issuing Lender to honor a
drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Government Authority, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including any sale of, collection
from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Subsidiary Guaranty)), (ii) the statements contained in the commitment letter delivered by any Lender to Company with respect thereto, or (iii) any

EXECUTION VERSION



To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this
subsection 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, Company shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

In addition to any rights now or
hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default each of Lenders and their Affiliates is hereby authorized by Company at any time or from
time to time, without notice to Company or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including
Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or any Affiliate of that Lender to or for the credit or the
account of Company and each other Loan Party against and on account of the Obligations of Company or any other Loan Party to that Lender (or any Affiliate of that Lender) or to any other Lender (or any Affiliate of any other Lender) under this
Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or any
other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due
hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.



| | 10.5 | Ratable Sharing
| | ---- | ---------------

Lenders hereby agree among
themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary or mandatory payment (other than a payment or prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any
right of set-off or bankers lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive
payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively,
the Aggregate Amounts Due to such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater
payment shall, unless such proportionately greater payment is required by the terms of this Agreement, (i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to
purchase assignments (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of an assignment simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of



105

EXECUTION VERSION



such payment) of the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in
proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that (A) if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization
of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such assignments shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (B) the foregoing
provisions shall not apply to (1) any payment made by Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment (other than an assignment
pursuant to this subsection 10.5) of or the sale of a participation in any of its Obligations to any Eligible Assignee or Participant pursuant to subsection 10.1B or 10.1C. Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any
purchaser of an assignment so purchased may exercise any and all rights of a Lender as to such assignment as fully as if that Lender had complied with the provisions of subsection 10.1B with respect to such assignment. In order to further evidence
such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set forth above), each purchasing Lender and each selling Lender agree to enter into an Assignment Agreement at the request of a selling Lender or a purchasing
Lender, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each such Lender.

2.4B(iii) in any manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, (2) change in any manner any provision of this Agreement that, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or
concurrence of all Lenders, (3) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods permitted hereunder, (4) release any Lien granted in favor of Administrative Agent with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all

behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Company in any case shall entitle Company to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by
Company, on Company.

| | ---- | -------------------------

All covenants
hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would not result in a default under subsection 7.6 shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of
Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service

Loan Documents and notices under the Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by telefacsimile. The effectiveness of any such
documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as an original copy with manual signatures and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and Lenders. Administrative Agent may also require
that any such documents and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed copy thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed copy shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile document
or signature.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company agrees that Administrative Agent may make any material delivered by Company to
Administrative Agent, as well as any amendments, waivers, consents and other written information, documents, instruments and other materials relating to Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any other materials or matters relating to the Loan
Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby that Administrative Agent is required or authorized pursuant to the terms hereof or of any Loan Document to provide to Lenders (collectively, the Communications) available
to Lenders by posting such notices on a Platform. Company acknowledges that (a) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution, (b) a Platform is provided as is and as available and (c) neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or sequencing of the
Communications posted on a Platform. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates expressly disclaim with respect to a Platform any liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading, delays in posting or delivery, or problems
accessing the Communications posted on such Platform and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or liabilities that may be suffered or incurred in connection with such Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory,
including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with any
Platform.

Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that any Communication has been posted to a
Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement

constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or other materials comprising such Communication. Each Lender agrees (1) to
notify, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, Administrative Agent in writing of such Lenders e-mail address to which a notice may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that Administrative Agent has
on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (2) that any notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

| | ----- | -----------------------------------------------------

No failure or delay on the part of an Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a
waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.



| | 10.11 | Marshalling; Payments Set Aside
| | ----- | -------------------------------

Neither
any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Company or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative
Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or Agents or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable
cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender hereunder.

entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and, subject to subsection 9.6, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it
shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

To the extent
permitted by law, Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with or as a result of this Agreement (including subsection 2.1C hereof), any other Loan Document, any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages

contemplated thereby.

all of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company) that is permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented, for which a Loan Party desires to obtain a security
interest release or a release of the Subsidiary Guaranty from Administrative Agent, such Loan Party shall deliver an Officers Certificate (i) stating that the Collateral or the Capital Stock subject to such disposition is being sold or
otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms hereof and (ii) specifying the Collateral or Capital Stock being sold or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such Officers Certificate, Administrative
Agent shall, at such Loan Partys expense, so long as Administrative Agent (a) has no reason to believe that the facts stated in such Officers Certificate are not true and correct and (b), if the sale or other disposition of such
item of Collateral or Capital Stock constitutes an Asset Sale, shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that arrangements satisfactory to it have been made for delivery of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds if and as required by subsection 2.4,
execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral or such Subsidiary Guaranty, as may be reasonably requested by such Loan Party.

EXHIBIT IX

[FORM OF] FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

This FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY(this Guaranty) is entered into as of [February __], 2008 by the undersigned (each Guarantor, and together with any future Subsidiaries executing this Guaranty, being collectively
referred to herein as Guarantors) in favor of and for the benefit of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as agent for and representative of (in such capacity herein called Guarantied Party) the
financial institutions (Lenders) from time to time party to the Credit Agreement referred to below and any Swap Counterparties (as herein defined), and in favor of and for the benefit of the other Beneficiaries (as herein
defined).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

A. Ruths Chris Steak House, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Company), has entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 27, 2005 with certain lenders (Original
Lenders) and Guarantied Party, as Administrative Agent for Original Lenders (said Credit Agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified to the date hereof, being the Original Credit Agreement).

B. Companys obligations under the Original Credit Agreement are guarantied by Guarantors pursuant to that certain Subsidiary
Guaranty dated as of September 27, 2005 (the Original Guaranty) executed by Guarantors in favor and for the benefit of Guarantied Party as agent for and representative of Original Lenders and certain other beneficiaries.

C. Concurrently herewith, Company, Guarantied Party and Lenders are amending and restating the Original Credit Agreement in its entirety
pursuant to that certain First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of [February __], 2008 (said First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
being the Credit Agreement; capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined).

D. Company may from time to time enter, or may from time to time have entered, into one or more Interest Rate Agreements, Currency Agreements or other swap agreements (collectively, the Lender Swap
Agreements) with one or more Persons that are Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders at the time such Lender Swap Agreements are entered into (in such capacity, collectively, Swap Counterparties) in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement, and it is desired that the obligations of Company under the Lender Swap Agreements, including the obligation of Company to make payments thereunder in the event of early termination thereof, together with all obligations of
Company under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, be guarantied hereunder.

E. Guarantied Party, Lenders and each Swap
Counterparty for which Guarantied Party has received the notice required by Section 19 are sometimes referred to herein as Beneficiaries.

| |  | ---- |  | -------------------
| |  | IX-1 |  | Subsidiary Guaranty



---

F. A portion of the proceeds of the Loans may be advanced to Guarantors, and thus the Guarantied
Obligations (as herein defined) are being incurred for and will inure to the benefit of Guarantors (which benefits are hereby acknowledged).

G. It is a condition precedent to the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement that Guarantors continue to irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty the obligations of Company under the Credit Agreement and amend and
restate the Original Guaranty.

H. Guarantors and Guarantied Party are willing to amend and restate the Original Guaranty in its entirety
as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lenders and Guarantied Party to amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement and to make Loans and other extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement and to induce Swap
Counterparties to enter into the Lender Swap Agreements, Guarantors hereby agree as follows:

1. Guaranty. (a) Guarantors jointly
and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty, as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, the due and punctual payment in full of all Guarantied Obligations (as herein defined) when the same shall become due, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code). The term Guarantied Obligations is used herein
in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all Obligations of Company and all obligations of Company under Lender Swap Agreements, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,
whether due or not due, and however arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Lender Swap Agreements, this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, including those arising under successive borrowing transactions under the Credit
Agreement which shall either continue such obligations of Company or from time to time renew them after they have been satisfied.

Each
Guarantor acknowledges that a portion of the Loans may be advanced to it, that Letters of Credit may be issued for the benefit of its business and that the Guarantied Obligations are being incurred for and will inure to its benefit.

Any interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations that accrues after the commencement of any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company (or, if interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such
interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guarantied Obligations if said proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guarantied Obligations because it is the intention of each Guarantor and Guarantied Party that the
Guarantied Obligations should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order that may relieve Company of any portion of such Guarantied Obligations.

| |  | ---- |  | -------------------
| |  | IX-2 |  | Subsidiary Guaranty



---

In the event that all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations is paid by Company, the obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) is rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Guarantied Party or any
other Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments that are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guarantied Obligations.

Subject to the other provisions of this Section 1, upon the failure of Company to pay any of the Guarantied Obligations when and as the same shall become due, each Guarantor will upon demand pay, or cause to be
paid, in cash, to Guarantied Party for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the aggregate of the unpaid Guarantied Obligations.

(b) Anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that
would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the
Fraudulent Transfer Laws), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any
liabilities of such Guarantor (x) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to Company or other affiliates of Company to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder and
(y) under any guaranty of Subordinated Indebtedness which guaranty contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this Section 1(b), pursuant to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the
liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification or contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement.

(c) Each Guarantor
under this Guaranty, and each guarantor under other guaranties, if any, relating to the Credit Agreement (the Related Guaranties) that contain a contribution provision similar to that set forth in this Section 1(c), together
desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the Contributing Guarantors), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty and the Related Guaranties. Accordingly, in the event any payment or
distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under this Guaranty or a guarantor under a Related Guaranty, each such Guarantor or such other guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in the
maximum amount permitted by law so as to maximize the aggregate amount of the Guarantied Obligations paid to Beneficiaries.

2. Guaranty
Absolute; Continuing Guaranty. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or
surety other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees that: (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of
collectibility; (b) Guarantied Party may enforce this



| |  |      |  |                    
| |  | ---- |  | -------------------
| |  | IX-3 |  | Subsidiary Guaranty



---

Guaranty upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or the occurrence of an early termination date or
similar event under any Lender Swap Agreements notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such event; (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the
obligations of Company under the Loan Documents or the Lender Swap Agreements and the obligations of any other guarantor of obligations of Company and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not
any action is brought against Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Company is joined in any such action or actions; and (d) a payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guarantied Obligations by one or more Guarantors shall
in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge the liability of such or any other Guarantor for any portion of the Guarantied Obligations that has not been paid. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its
successors and assigns, and each Guarantor irrevocably waives any right (including any such right arising under California Civil Code Section 2815) to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guarantied Obligations.

3. Actions by Beneficiaries. Any Beneficiary may from time to time, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or
enforceability of this Guaranty or giving rise to any limitation, impairment or discharge of any Guarantors liability hereunder, (a) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the
Guarantied Obligations, (b) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the
payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations, (c) request and accept other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations and take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations, (d) release,
exchange, compromise, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guarantied Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the
Guarantied Obligations, (e) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Beneficiary in respect of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any
other right or remedy that Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, may have against any such security, as Guarantied Party in its discretion may determine consistent with the Credit Agreement, the Lender Swap Agreements and any
applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and (f) exercise any other rights
available to Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, under the Loan Documents or the Lender Swap Agreements.

4. No
Discharge. This Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations),
including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (a) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of
court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or
security for the payment of the Guarantied Obligations, (b) any waiver or

| |  | ---- |  | -------------------
| |  | IX-4 |  | Subsidiary Guaranty



---

modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Lender Swap
Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guarantied Obligations, (c) the Guarantied Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (d) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guarantied Obligations, even though Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them,
might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guarantied Obligations, (e) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guarantied Obligations, (f) any
defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Company may assert against Guarantied Party or any Beneficiary in respect of the Guarantied Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of
limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (g) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of a Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the
Guarantied Obligations.

5. Waivers. Each Guarantor waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require
Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Company, any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust
any security held from Company, any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Company or

| |  | IX-5 |  | Subsidiary Guaranty



---

As used in this paragraph, any reference to the principal includes Company, and any reference
to the creditor includes Guarantied Party and each other Beneficiary. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code (a) each Guarantor waives any and all rights and defenses available to it by reason of Sections
2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code. No other provision of this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this paragraph. As provided below, this Guaranty shall be
governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. This paragraph is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be
construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or to any of the Guarantied Obligations.

6. Guarantors Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.; Subordination of Other Obligations. Until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all
Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of (a) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company or any of its assets in
connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute (including under California Civil Code Section 2847,
2848 or 2849), under common law or otherwise and including (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in,
any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Company, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary and (b) any right
of contribution such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any other guarantor of any of the Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against
Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries may have against
Company, to all right, title and interest Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries may have against such other guarantor.

Any indebtedness of Company now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantied Obligations, and any such
indebtedness of Company to a Guarantor collected or received by such Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any amount paid to a Guarantor on account of any subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution
rights referred to in the preceding paragraph when all Guarantied Obligations have not been paid in full, shall be held in trust for Guarantied Party on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Guarantied Party for the benefit of
Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations.

7. Expenses. Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay, or cause to be paid, on demand, and to
hold Guarantied Party and the other Beneficiaries harmless against liability for, (i) any and all costs and expenses (including fees, costs of settlement, and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) incurred or
expended by Guarantied Party or any other Beneficiary in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of any rights under this Guaranty and (ii) any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including those arising from rights of
indemnification) required to be paid by Guarantors under the provisions of any other Loan Document.

8. Financial Condition of
Company. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation, and each Guarantor waives any duty on the part of any Beneficiary, to disclose or discuss with such Guarantor its assessment, or such Guarantors assessment, of the financial condition of
Company or any matter or fact relating to the business, operations or condition of Company. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Company and its ability to
perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Lender Swap Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations.

9. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor makes, for the benefit of
Beneficiaries, each of the representations and warranties made in the Credit Agreement by Company as to such Guarantor, its assets, financial condition, operations, organization, legal status, business and the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

10. Covenants. Each Guarantor agrees that, so long as any part of the Guarantied Obligations shall remain unpaid, any Letter of
Credit shall be outstanding, or any Lender shall have any Commitment or any Swap Counterparty shall have any obligation under any Lender Swap Agreement, such Guarantor will, unless Requisite Obligees (as such term is defined in Section 18(a))
shall otherwise consent in writing, perform or observe, and cause its Subsidiaries to perform or observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements that the Loan Documents state that Company is to cause a Guarantor and such Subsidiaries to perform
or observe.

11. Set Off. In addition to any other rights any Beneficiary may have under law or in equity, if any amount shall at
any time be due and owing by a Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty, such Beneficiary is authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice (any such notice being expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any
and all deposits (general or special, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness of such Beneficiary owing to a Guarantor and any other property of such Guarantor held by a
Beneficiary to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of the Guarantied Obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty.

12. Application of Proceeds.Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Guaranty, all proceeds received by Guarantied Party on account of the
Guarantied Obligations from any Guarantor shall be applied as provided in subsection 2.4C of the Credit Agreement.

13. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the stock of a Guarantor or any of its
successors in interest under this Guaranty shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in a sale or other disposition to a Person (other than a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of Company) not prohibited by the Credit
Agreement or otherwise consented to by Requisite Obligees (as such term is defined in Section 18(a)), such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, may request Guarantied Party to execute and deliver documents or instruments
necessary to evidence the release and discharge of this Guaranty as provided in subsection 10.14 of the Credit Agreement.

14.
Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of
Guarantied Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, Guarantors. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

15. Miscellaneous. It is not necessary for Beneficiaries to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Company or the officers,
directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

The rights, powers and remedies given to Beneficiaries by
this Guaranty are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to Beneficiaries by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the Loan Documents or the Lender Swap Agreements or any agreement
between one or more Guarantors and one or more Beneficiaries or between Company and one or more Beneficiaries. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay by any Beneficiary in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not
impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of
such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

THIS GUARANTY AND THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTORS, GUARANTIED PARTY AND THE OTHER BENEFICIARIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE

SECTION 2. Security for Obligations.

This Agreement secures, and the Collateral is collateral
security for, the prompt payment or performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Secured Obligations of each Pledgor. Secured Obligations
means:

(a) with respect to Company, all obligations and liabilities of every nature of Company now or hereafter existing under or arising
out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any Lender Swap Agreement; and

(b) with respect to each
Subsidiary Pledgor and Additional Pledgor, all obligations and liabilities of every nature of such Subsidiary Pledgor now or hereafter existing under or arising out of or in connection with the Subsidiary Guaranty;

in each case together with all extensions or renewals thereof, whether for principal, interest, reimbursement of amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, payments for
early termination of Lender Swap Agreements, fees, expenses, indemnities or otherwise, whether voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or
not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or
indirectly from Secured Party or any Lender or Swap Counterparty as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and all obligations of every nature of Pledgors now or hereafter existing under this Agreement (including interest and other amounts
that, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Company or any other Pledgor, would accrue on such obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Company or such Pledgor for such amounts in the related bankruptcy
proceeding).

related to the Collateral, to the extent set forth therein, to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder

interests in the Collateral, granted to Secured Party for the ratable benefit of Lenders and Swap Counterparties, will constitute perfected security interests therein prior to all other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances and Liens permitted by
subsection 7.2A(ii) of the Credit Agreement), and all filings and other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interests have been, or promptly after the Closing Date will be, duly made or taken.

there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or other agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is now or hereafter convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any Pledged Subsidiary Equity;
the Pledged Subsidiary Debt constitutes all of the issued and outstanding intercompany Indebtedness evidenced by a promissory note of the respective issuers thereof owing to such Pledgor; Schedule 4 annexed hereto sets forth all of the Equity
Interests and the Pledged Subsidiary Equity owned by each Pledgor, and the percentage ownership in each issuer thereof; and Schedule 5 annexed hereto sets forth all of the Pledged Subsidiary Debt owned by such Pledgor.

required for either (i) the pledge by such Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the grant by such Pledgor of the security interest granted hereby, (ii) the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by such
Pledgor, or (iii) the exercise by Secured Party of the voting or other rights, or the remedies in respect of the Collateral, provided for in this Agreement (except as may be required in connection with a disposition of Collateral by laws

| |  | X-5 |  | Pledge and Security Agreement



---

the foregoing, each Pledgor will: (i) execute (if necessary) and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or as Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby, (ii) deliver to Secured Party
all promissory notes and other Instruments, duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, and (iii) at Secured Partys request, appear in and
defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Pledgors title to or Secured Partys security interest in all or any part of the Collateral. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of such Pledgor.

(b) Pledged
Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 5(a), each Pledgor agrees that (i) all certificates or Instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of
Secured Party pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery or, as applicable, shall be accompanied by such Pledgors endorsement, where necessary, or duly executed instruments of transfer or assignments in blank, all
in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party and (ii) it will, upon obtaining any additional Equity Interests or Indebtedness, promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) deliver to Secured Party a Pledge Supplement, duly
executed by such Pledgor, in respect of such additional Pledged Subsidiary Equity or Pledged Subsidiary Debt; provided, that the failure of any Pledgor to execute a Pledge Supplement with respect to any additional Pledged Subsidiary Equity or
Pledged Subsidiary Debt shall not impair the security interest of Secured Party therein or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder with respect thereto. Upon each such acquisition, the representations and
warranties contained in Section 4(f) shall be deemed to have been made by such Pledgor as to such Pledged Subsidiary Equity or Pledged Subsidiary Debt, whether or not such Pledge Supplement is delivered.

Each Pledgor shall:

(a) not use or permit any Collateral to be used unlawfully or in violation of any provision of this Agreement
or any applicable statute, regulation or ordinance;

change in such Pledgors name, identity or corporate structure and (ii) any reincorporation, reorganization or other action that results in a change of the jurisdiction of organization of such Pledgor;

| |  | --- |  | -----------------------------
| |  | X-6 |  | Pledge and Security Agreement



---

(e) permit representatives of Secured Party at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make
abstracts from such Records, and each Pledgor agrees to render to Secured Party, at such Pledgors cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto.

SECTION 7. Certain Covenants with Respect to the Collateral.

(a) Form of Pledged Collateral. If any Pledged Collateral is not a Security pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, no Pledgor shall take any action that, under such Section, converts such Pledged Collateral
into a Security without causing the issuer thereof to issue to it certificates or instruments evidencing such Pledged Collateral, which it shall promptly deliver to Secured Party as provided in Section 5(b).

(b) Covenants. Each Pledgor shall (i) not, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, permit any issuer of Pledged Subsidiary
Equity to merge or consolidate unless all the outstanding Equity Interests of the surviving or resulting Person are, upon such merger or consolidation, subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1, pledged and become Pledged
Collateral hereunder; (ii) cause each issuer of Pledged Subsidiary Equity not to issue Equity Interests in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Subsidiary Equity issued by such issuer, except to such Pledgor; (iii) immediately
upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) of any Equity Interests, including additional Equity Interests in each issuer of Pledged Subsidiary Equity, comply with Section 5(b), subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of
Section 1; (iv) immediately upon issuance of any and all Instruments or other evidences of additional Indebtedness from time to time owed to such Pledgor by any obligor on the Pledged Subsidiary Debt, comply with Section 5;
(v) promptly deliver to Secured Party all written notices received by it with respect to the Collateral; and (vi) at its expense (A) perform and comply in all material respects with all terms and provisions of any agreement related to
the Collateral required to be performed or complied with by it, (B) maintain all such agreements in full force and effect and (C) enforce all such agreements in accordance with their terms.

(c) Voting and Distributions. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) each Pledgor shall be entitled to
exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; provided, no Pledgor shall exercise or
refrain from exercising any such right if Secured Party shall have notified such Pledgor that, in Secured Partys judgment, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; and
(ii) each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, other distributions, principal and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (x) upon written notice from Secured Party to any Pledgor, all rights of such
Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to
exercise such voting and other consensual rights; (y) except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, all rights of such Pledgor to receive the dividends, other distributions, principal and interest payments which it would otherwise be
authorized to



| |  |     |  |                              
| |  | --- |  | -----------------------------
| |  | X-7 |  | Pledge and Security Agreement



---

receive and retain pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to
receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, other distributions, principal and interest payments; and (z) all dividends, principal, interest payments and other distributions that are received by such Pledgor contrary to the
provisions of clause (y) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall forthwith be paid over to Secured Party as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsements).

In order to permit Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it
may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (I) each Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to
Secured Party all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request, and (II) without limiting the effect of clause (I) above, each Pledgor hereby grants to Secured Party an
irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Subsidiary Equity and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Subsidiary Equity would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of
holders of Equity Interests, calling special meetings of holders of Equity Interests and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged
Subsidiary Equity on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Subsidiary Equity or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate
upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the cure of such Event of Default or waiver thereof as evidenced by a writing executed by Secured Party.

SECTION 8. Collateral Account.

(a) Secured Party is hereby authorized to establish and maintain as a blocked account
under the sole dominion and control of Secured Party, a restricted Deposit Account designated as Ruths Chris Steak House, Inc. Collateral Account. All amounts at any time held in the Collateral Account shall be beneficially owned
by Pledgors but shall be held in the name of Secured Party hereunder, for the benefit of Beneficiaries, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Pledgors shall have no right to withdraw,
transfer or, except as expressly set forth herein or in the Credit Agreement, otherwise receive any funds deposited into the Collateral Account. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Account shall be subject to
such applicable laws, and such applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of any other appropriate banking or Government Authority, as may now or hereafter be in effect. All deposits of funds in the Collateral
Account shall be made by wire transfer (or, if applicable, by intra-bank transfer from another account of a Pledgor) of immediately available funds, in each case addressed in accordance with instructions of Secured Party. Each Pledgor shall,
promptly after initiating a transfer of funds to the Collateral Account, give notice to Secured Party by telefacsimile of the date, amount and method of delivery of such deposit. Cash held by Secured Party in the Collateral Account shall not be
invested by Secured Party but instead shall be maintained as a cash deposit in the Collateral Account pending application thereof as elsewhere provided in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement. To the extent permitted under



| |  |     |  |                              
| |  | --- |  | -----------------------------
| |  | X-8 |  | Pledge and Security Agreement



---

Regulation Q of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other applicable law, any cash held in the Collateral Account shall bear interest at
the standard rate paid by Secured Party to its customers for deposits of like amounts and terms. Subject to Secured Partys rights hereunder, any interest earned on deposits of cash in the Collateral Account shall be deposited directly in, and
held in, the Collateral Account.

(b) In the event that Company is required to cash collateralize any Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit
pursuant to the Credit Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, in which case the provisions of Section 12(c) shall apply, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, such cash collateral shall be
retained by Secured Party until such time as such Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit shall have expired or been surrendered and any drawings under such Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit paid in full, whether by reason of application of funds
in the Collateral Account or otherwise. Secured Party is authorized to apply any amount in the Collateral Account to pay any drawing on a Letter of Credit. Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and Section 12(c), if any such cash
collateral is no longer required to be retained in the Collateral Account, it shall be paid by Secured Party to Company or at Companys direction.

SECTION 9. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.

Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such
Pledgors attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Partys discretion to take any action and to execute any
instrument that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

(a) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any instruments made payable to
such Pledgor representing any dividend, principal or interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same;

(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that
Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce or protect the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral;

(d) to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than taxes not required to be discharged pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Liens permitted under this
Agreement or the Credit Agreement) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Secured Party in its sole discretion, any such
payments made by Secured Party to become obligations of such Pledgor to Secured Party, due and payable immediately without demand; and

| |  | --- |  | -----------------------------
| |  | X-9 |  | Pledge and Security Agreement



---

(e) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer,
pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Secured Partys option and Pledgors
expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Partys security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement,
all as fully and effectively as such Pledgor might do.

SECTION 10. Secured Party May Perform.

If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the
expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgors under Section 14(b).

SECTION 11. Standard of Care.

The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon
it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral, it
being understood that Secured Party shall have no responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not
Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral, (c) taking any necessary steps to collect or
realize upon the Secured Obligations or any guarantee therefor, or any part thereof, or any of the Collateral, or (d) initiating any action to protect the Collateral against the possibility of a decline in market value. Secured Party shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property.

SECTION 12. Remedies.

(a) Generally.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may, subject to Section 16, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all
the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and Secured Party also may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or
more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or brokers board or at any of Secured Partys offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other
terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. Secured Party or any Beneficiary may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale, and
Secured Party, as agent for and representative of Lenders and Swap Counterparties (but not any Lender or Swap Counterparty in its individual capacity unless Requisite Obligees shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of
bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion



| |  |      |  |                              
| |  | ---- |  | -----------------------------
| |  | X-10 |  | Pledge and Security Agreement



---

of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any
Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable
law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required
by law, at least ten days notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time
and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might
have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all
the Secured Obligations, Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency. Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
contained in this Section 12 will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be
specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the
Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right, without notice to Pledgors, to transfer to or to
register in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral.

(b) Pledged Collateral. Each
Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral conducted without
prior registration or qualification of such Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private placement may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a sale without such restrictions (including an
offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Pledgor agrees that any such private placement shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to be commercially unreasonable and that
Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable
state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral, upon written request, each Pledgor shall and shall cause each
issuer of any Pledged Collateral to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Secured Party all such information as Secured Party may request in order to determine the amount of Pledged Collateral that may be sold by Secured Party in exempt
transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(c) Collateral Account. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any amounts on
deposit in the Collateral Account, except for funds deposited in the Collateral Account as described in the next sentence, shall be held by Secured Party and applied as Obligations become due or, if applicable, pursuant to subsection 2.4C of
the Credit Agreement. If, in accordance with Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, Company is required to pay to Secured Party an amount (the Aggregate Available Amount) equal to the maximum amount that may at any time be drawn
under all Letters of Credit then outstanding under the Credit Agreement, Company shall deliver funds in such an amount for deposit in the Collateral Account. Following such deposit in the Collateral Account, (i) upon any drawing under any
outstanding Letter of Credit, Secured Party shall apply any amount in the Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of such drawing and (ii) in the event of cancellation or expiration of any Letter of Credit, or in the
event of any reduction in the maximum available amount under any Letter of Credit, Secured Party shall apply the amount then on deposit in the Collateral Account in excess of the Aggregate Available Amount (calculated giving effect to such
cancellation, expiration or reduction) as provided in Section 13.

SECTION 13. Application of Proceeds.

Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as provided in subsection 2.4C of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 14. Indemnity
and Expenses.

(a) Pledgors jointly and severally agree to indemnify Secured Party, each Lender and each Swap Counterparty from and
against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses
or liabilities result solely from Secured Partys or such Lenders or Swap Counterpartys gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Pledgors jointly and severally agree to pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses in accordance with subsection
10.2 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) The obligations of Pledgors in this Section 14 shall (i) survive the termination of this
Agreement and the discharge of Pledgors other obligations under this Agreement, the Lender Swap Agreements, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii), as to any Pledgor that is a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty, be subject to
the provisions of Section 1(b) thereof.

SECTION 15. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans; Termination and Release.

(a) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in
full of the Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or the securing of reimbursement Obligations in respect thereof with cash collateral or
letters of credit in a manner satisfactory to Secured Party), (ii) be binding upon Pledgors and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of
Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), (A) but subject to the provisions of subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer
any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise and (B) any Swap Counterparty may assign or otherwise transfer any
Lender Swap Agreement to which it is a party to any other Person in accordance with the terms of such Lender Swap Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Swap Counterparties
herein or otherwise.

(b) Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the
cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or the securing of reimbursement Obligations in respect thereof with cash collateral or letters of credit in a manner satisfactory to Secured Party), the security interest granted
hereby (other than with respect to any cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Pledgors. Upon any such termination Secured Party will, at Pledgors
expense, execute and deliver to Pledgors such documents as Pledgors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. In addition, upon the proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral by a Pledgor to any Person (other than a Subsidiary

Agreement.

SECTION 16. Secured Party as Agent.

(a) Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Swap Counterparties. Secured Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right
hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the
Credit Agreement; provided that Secured Party shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 12 in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Obligees. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 16(a), each Swap Counterparty, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Swap Counterparty that all
rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Secured Party for the benefit of Lenders and Swap Counterparties in accordance with the terms of this Section 16(a).

(b) Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as

Secured Party under this Agreement; and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also
constitute appointment of a successor Secured Party under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring Secured Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such
successor Secured Party all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party under
this Agreement, and (ii) execute (if necessary) and deliver to such successor Secured Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such
successor Secured Party of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agents resignation hereunder
as Secured Party, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.

(c) Secured Party shall not be deemed to have any duty whatsoever with respect to any Swap Counterparty until it shall have received written notice in
form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party from a Pledgor or the Swap Counterparty as to the existence and terms of the applicable Lender Swap Agreement.

SECTION 17. Additional Pledgors.

The initial Pledgors hereunder shall be Company and such of the Subsidiary Pledgors
as are signatories hereto on the date hereof. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Company may become Additional Pledgors by executing a Counterpart. Upon delivery of any such Counterpart to Secured Party,
notice of which is hereby waived by Pledgors, each such Additional Pledgor shall be a Pledgor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Pledgor were an original signatory hereto. Each Pledgor expressly agrees that its obligations
arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Pledgor hereunder, nor by any election of Secured Party not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Pledgor hereunder. This Agreement
shall be fully effective as to any Pledgor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Pledgor hereunder.

SECTION 18. Amendments; Etc.

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by
Pledgors; provided this Agreement may be modified by the execution of a Counterpart by an Additional Pledgor in accordance with Section 17 and Pledgors hereby waive any requirement of notice of or consent to any such amendment. Any such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

SECTION 20. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative

EXHIBIT XI

[FORM OF] SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

This SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE (this Solvency
Certificate) is delivered in connection with that certain First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of [February ], 2008 (the Credit Agreement), by and among RUTHS CHRIS
STEAK HOUSE, INC., a Delaware corporation (Company), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as Lenders (Lenders), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative
Agent (Administrative Agent). Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

This Solvency Certificate is being delivered pursuant to subsection 4.1O of the Credit Agreement. The undersigned is the Chief Financial Officer of Company and hereby further certifies as of the date hereof, in
his/her capacity as an officer of Company, and not individually, as follows:

1. I have responsibility for (a) the management of the
financial affairs of Company and the preparation of financial statements of Company, and (b) reviewing the financial and other aspects of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

2. I have carefully prepared and/or reviewed the contents of this Solvency Certificate and have conferred with counsel for Company for the purpose of
discussing the meaning of any provisions hereof that I desired to have clarified.

3. In preparation for the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, I have prepared and/or reviewed a pro forma balance sheet as at [
], 2008 and pro forma income projections and pro forma cash flow projections for each fiscal year during the term of the Credit Agreement for Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, in each case after
giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. The pro forma balance sheet has been prepared utilizing what I believe are reasonable estimates of the fair valuation and fair saleable
value of the assets of Company and its Subsidiaries. Although any projections may by necessity involve uncertainties and approximations, the projections are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by me to be reasonable.

4. Based upon the foregoing and upon the best of my knowledge after due diligence, I have concluded as follows:

a. The fair valuation and fair saleable value of the property of Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis is:
(x) greater than the total amount of debts and liabilities of Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (including unliquidated liabilities, unmatured liabilities, contingent liabilities and liabilities that would not be required to
be reported under GAAP), and (y) not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities on the existing debts and liabilities of Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (including unliquidated liabilities,
unmatured liabilities, contingent liabilities and liabilities that would not be required to be reported under GAAP) as they become absolute and due considering all financing alternatives and potential asset sales reasonably available to Company and
its Subsidiaries.



| |  |      |  |                     
| |  | ---- |  | --------------------
| |  | XI-1 |  | Solvency Certificate



---

b. Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis have the ability to pay their debts and
liabilities (including unliquidated liabilities, unmatured liabilities, contingent liabilities and liabilities that would not be required to be reported under GAAP) as they become absolute and due considering all financing alternatives and potential
asset sales reasonably available to Company and its Subsidiaries.

c. Company and its Subsidiaries do not have an unreasonably small amount
of capital in relation to their business or any contemplated or undertaken transaction.

d. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
executed the Loan Documents or made any transfer or incurred any obligations thereunder, with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors.

e. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries intends to incur, or believes (nor should it reasonably believe) that it will incur, debts beyond its
ability to pay such debts as they become due.

In computing the amount of contingent liabilities as of the date hereof, such liabilities
have been computed at the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual liability.

As reflected in the pro forma income projections and pro forma cash flow projections, I believe that it is reasonable to assume that Company and its
Subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. Thus, for the purpose of the above analysis, the values of the assets of Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis have been computed by considering Company and its Subsidiaries to be a going
concern.

I understand that Administrative Agent and Lenders are relying on this Solvency Certificate in extending credit to Company
pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

[signature follows]

Notes:

We are
in the process in several states of ensuring that the registrations currently reflect that RCSH has changed its state of incorporation from Louisiana to Delaware. In some states, this can only be done via a formal assignment whereas others will
accept a mere notice.

The company is allowing the mark Ruths Chris Steak House - U.S. Prime Only to lapse pursuant to a policy that it
enacted in 1999.

In some states, the registration for Home of Serious Steaks has been allowed to expire because the mark is no longer being
used in that state.

SCHEDULE 5.6

LITIGATION

1. Nikko Rose and Brandon Rose, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly
situated v. Ruths Chris Steak House, Inc., No. 1:07-cv-12166-WGY, on the docket of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Boston Division. On November, 19, 2007, Nikko Rose and Brandon Rose on behalf of
themselves and other current and former waitstaff at Ruths Chris restaurants filed a class action suit against Ruths Chris Steak House, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Boston Division. The
Plaintiffs allege that the Defendant violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by improperly taking a tip credit against the minimum wage for its waitstaff employees. The Plaintiffs seek monetary damages in the form of restitution for the
portion of the minimum wage they did not receive in base pay, liquidated damages, attorneys fees and costs and any other damages to which they may be entitled under law. It is impossible at this time to determine the outcome of this matter.

2. Nikko Rose and Brandon Rose, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated v. Ruths Chris Steak House, Inc.,
No. 07-5081-A, on the docket of the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk, ss. On November, 19, 2007, Nikko Rose and Brandon Rose on behalf of themselves and other current and former waitstaff at Ruths Chris
restaurants filed a class action suit against Ruths Chris Steak House, Inc. in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk, ss. The Plaintiffs allege that the Defendant violated the Massachusetts Tips Law. The Plaintiffs
seek monetary damages in the form of restitution for the portion of the gratuities and services charges they did not receive, statutory trebling of damages, and attorneys fees and costs. It is impossible at this time to determine the outcome
of this matter.

3. In Re: Melia Stopa, EEOC Charge No. 570-2007-01860, Ms. Stopa filed a charge of discrimination with
the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on November 14, 2007 alleging that she was discriminated against on the basis of her sex. We responded to Ms. Stopas charge on January 16, 2008. We are awaiting the EEOCs
decision. It is impossible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter.

Under present law the Commission has no authority to issue
judgments or otherwise to require the payment of back pay or other damages. In order to obtain such relief, the Commission or the claimant would have to pursue the claim by instituting litigation against the Company. Because it is impossible at this
time to evaluate the likelihood that such litigation will be instituted and also because neither we nor, to our knowledge, the Commission has made any significant investigation of the facts relating to this charge, it is impossible at this time to
evaluate the possibility that this charge will result in any liability to the Company.

On August 31, 2007, Ruths Chris received
correspondence from counsel in Washington, D.C. alleging individual claims of discrimination and class sex discrimination claims. We have ongoing discussions with these attorneys. As noted above, the Bush and Stopa EEOC charges are pending. It is
impossible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter.
