 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

This CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of November 18, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), is by and among UNIVERSAL TECHNICAL
INSTITUTE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), the other Loan Parties signature hereto, as Loan Parties, and FIFTH THIRD BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a federally chartered institution (“Lender”).

 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS,
Borrower desires that Lender extend a revolving credit facility to Borrower to provide funds necessary for the purpose of providing (a) working capital financing for Borrower, (b) funds for other general corporate purposes of Borrower,
(c) funds for all or part of the Concorde Acquisition, and (d) funds for other purposes permitted hereunder; and 
 WHEREAS,
Borrower and each Loan Party desires to secure all of the Obligations by granting to Lender a first-priority perfected Lien upon substantially all of its personal property, including, without limitation, all outstanding Stock of each Subsidiary,
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	1.	 DEFINITIONS 



1.1. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of the Loan Documents, capitalized terms shall have the meanings as defined in this Agreement
(including, as applicable, each Annex to this Agreement and Appendix I to this Agreement). 
 1.2. Accounting Terms and
Determinations. Unless otherwise specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations hereunder (including determinations made pursuant to the exhibits hereto) shall be made, and all Financial
Statements required to be delivered hereunder shall be prepared on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the most recent audited consolidated Financial Statements of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries
delivered to Lender on or prior to the Closing Date. If at any time any change in GAAP would, in either case, affect the computation of any financial ratio or financial requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either Borrower or Lender shall
so request, Lender and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the final approval of Lender); provided, that until so
amended, (a) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (b) the Loan Parties shall provide to Lender Financial Statements and other documents required under this
Agreement which include a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP; provided, further, that (i) any election under Accounting Standards
Codification 825-10-25 (previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159) (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial
Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Loan Party at “fair value”, as defined therein, shall be disregarded for the purposes












 
of computing any financial ratios and requirements herein and (ii) the effect of any changes to GAAP that would require leases which are, or would have been, classified as operating leases
under GAAP as it exists on the Closing Date to be classified and accounted for as capital leases under the revised GAAP (including by reason of adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-02) shall be
disregarded for the purposes of computing any financial ratios and requirements herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Loan Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender,
cause or permit any change in application of GAAP, or any method of GAAP utilized, by the Loan Parties in their Financial Statements after the Closing Date. 

1.3. Other Definitional Provisions and References. References in this Agreement to “Sections”, “Annexes”,
“Exhibits”, “Appendices” or “Schedules” shall be to Sections, Annexes, Exhibits, Appendices or Schedules of or to this Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided. Any term defined herein may be used in the
singular or plural. “Include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Except as otherwise specified or limited herein, references to any Person include the
successors and assigns of such Person. The references “from” or “through” any date mean, unless otherwise specified, “from and including” or “through and including,” respectively. References in any Loan
Document to the knowledge (or an analogous phrase) of any Loan Party are intended to signify that such Loan Party has actual knowledge or awareness of a particular fact or circumstance after due inquiry. Unless otherwise specified herein, the
settlement of all payments and fundings hereunder between or among parties hereto shall be made in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Time is of the essence in Borrower’s and each other Loan Party’s
performance under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents. All amounts used for purposes of financial calculations required to be made herein shall be without duplication. Except as otherwise specified or limited herein, references to any
statute or act shall include all related regulations, rules and orders and all amendments and supplements and any successor or replacement statutes, acts and regulations. References to any statute or act, without additional reference, shall be
deemed to refer to federal statutes and acts of the United States. References to any agreement, instrument or document (including the Loan Documents and any Organizational Document) shall include all schedules, exhibits, annexes, appendices and
other attachments thereto and shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or document as from time to time amended, amended and restated, modified, extended, restated, replaced or supplemented (subject to any restrictions on such
amendments, amendments and restatements, modifications, extensions, restatements, replacements and supplements set forth herein or in any other Loan Document). 
  

	2.	 ADVANCES AND LETTERS OF CREDIT 



2.1. Revolving Credit Advances and Borrowings. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender agrees to make available to Borrower from time to time until the Commitment Termination
Date advances pursuant to its Revolving Loan Commitment (each, a “Revolving Credit Advance”); provided, that the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Credit Advances will not result in the Revolving Exposure exceeding
the Revolving Loan Commitment, or the limitations set forth in Section 6.5 hereof. Until the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this
Section 2.1(a). 

  
 2 












 (i) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Notice of Borrowing with respect to
each proposed borrowing of a Revolving Credit Advance (other than Revolving Credit Advances made pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.3), such Notice of Borrowing to be
delivered no later than: (A) 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Standard Time) (or such later time acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion) on the day of such proposed borrowing, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances in an aggregate principal amount
equal to or less than $250,000, and (B) the day that is two Business Days prior to such proposed borrowing, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances in an aggregate principal amount greater than $250,000. Once given, a Notice of Borrowing shall
be irrevocable and Borrower shall be bound thereby. 
 (ii) Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to make Revolving Credit
Advances based on telephonic or electronic notices made by any Person which Lender, in good faith, believes to be acting on behalf of Borrower, in accordance with procedures established by or otherwise acceptable to Lender from time to time in its
sole discretion (including Lender’s confirmation of such notices). All Revolving Credit Advances will be advanced to the primary operating account of Borrower, unless Borrower otherwise instructs Lender in writing. 

(b) The making of each Advance by Lender, whether under Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.3, will
be deemed to be a representation by Borrower that the Advance will not violate the terms of Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.3, respectively. Lender shall have no duty to follow, or any liability for,
the application by Borrower of any proceeds of any Advance. 
 (c) Any Revolving Credit Advance constituting the Initial Draw shall be
advanced to an account of Borrower’s at Fifth Third or its Affiliates and held until satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Concorde Acquisition having been met. 

2.2. Prepayments/Commitment Termination. 

(a) Termination of Revolving Loan Commitment. 

(i) Borrower may at any time on at least 10 days’ prior written notice to Lender terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment;
provided that, upon such termination, all Advances and other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full and all Letter of Credit Obligations shall be cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied in accordance with Annex A.
Any voluntary termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment must be accompanied by payment of any Tranche Rate funding breakage costs in accordance with Section 2.5(c). Upon any such termination of the Revolving Loan
Commitment, Borrower’s right to request Revolving Credit Advances, or request that Letter of Credit Obligations be incurred on its behalf, shall simultaneously be permanently terminated. 

(ii) All of the Obligations shall, if not sooner paid or required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, be due and payable in full on the Commitment Termination Date. 

  
 3 












 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) Subject to Section 2.1(b), if at any time the outstanding balance of the aggregate Revolving
Exposure exceeds Availability, or the limitations imposed by Section 6.5 hereof (any and all such excess Revolving Exposure is herein referred to, collectively, as an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall
promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, repay the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances to the extent required to eliminate such Overadvance. If any such Overadvance remains after repayment in full of the aggregate
outstanding Revolving Credit Advances, Borrower shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Annex A to the extent required to eliminate such Overadvance. Any such prepayment shall be applied
in accordance with Section 2.2(c). 
 (ii) Subject to Section 2.2(c),
within 2 Business Days after receipt by any Loan Party or Subsidiary of cash proceeds (including insurance proceeds and proceeds from casualty losses or condemnations) of any voluntary or involuntary sale or disposition of, or any casualty or
condemnation event with respect to, any property or assets of any Loan Party or Subsidiary (determined exclusive of any proceeds of sales and other dispositions permitted by Sections 5.1(a) and (c) solely for purposes of this
Section 2.2(b)(ii)), Borrower shall notify Lender of such Loan Party’s receipt of such cash proceeds and shall prepay the Advances (and cash collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations) in an amount equal to all such
cash proceeds, net of (A) commissions and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by Borrower in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates), (B) transfer taxes, (C) amounts payable to holders of Liens that are senior to the Liens of Lender created under the Loan Documents on such assets (to the extent such Liens constitute
Permitted Encumbrances hereunder), and (D) an appropriate reserve for income taxes in accordance with GAAP in connection therewith (it being understood that to the extent any such reserve is reversed or abandoned, the amount so reversed or
abandoned shall constitute cash proceeds payable pursuant to this Section). Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.2(c); provided, that so long as (1) no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (2) Borrower shall have given Lender prior written notice of Borrower’s intention to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the
subject of such sale or disposition or the cost of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of such Loan Party or, in the case of proceeds from casualty losses or condemnation, to the cost of repair and restoration of the
affected assets, (3) the monies are held in a Deposit Account in which Lender has a perfected first-priority security interest, and (4) such Loan Party completes such replacement, purchase, or construction within one (1) year after
the initial receipt of such monies, then the Loan Party whose assets were the subject of such disposition shall have the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of such assets or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets
useful in the business of such Loan Party or, in the case of proceeds from casualty losses or condemnation, to the cost of repair and restoration of the affected assets, unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without
such replacement, purchase, or construction being made or completed, in which case, such net cash proceeds not so applied shall be paid to Lender and applied in accordance with Section 2.2(c). 

(iii) [Intentionally Omitted.] 

  
 4 












 (iv) If any Loan Party incurs Indebtedness not permitted under the terms of
this Agreement, no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt of the proceeds thereof, Borrower shall notify Lender of such Loan Party’s receipt of such proceeds and shall prepay the Advances (and cash collateralize Letter of
Credit Obligations) in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) all such proceeds, net of reasonable costs paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith and (B) the amount of any outstanding Advances
and Letter of Credit Obligations. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.2(c). 
 (c)
Application of Certain Mandatory Prepayments. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(b) shall be applied as follows: first to
pay any Overadvances that may be outstanding, second to prepay the remaining Advances without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment, and third to cash collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations in the
manner set forth on Annex A. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such amounts shall be applied as provided in Section 9.3. All prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.2(b)
must be accompanied by payment of any Tranche Rate funding breakage costs in accordance with Section 2.5(c). 

(d) Application of Prepayments to Tranche Rate Loans. Any prepayment of a Tranche Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of an
Interest Period therefor shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid and shall be subject to Section 2.5(c). All prepayments of an Advance shall be applied first to that portion of such Advance comprised of
Base Rate Loans and then to that portion of such Advance comprised of Tranche Rate Loans, in direct order of Interest Period maturities. 

(e) No Implied Consent. Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be construed to constitute Lender’s consent to
any transaction that is not expressly permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or a waiver of any Event of Default arising therefrom. 

2.3. [Intentionally Omitted.] 

2.4. Interest and Applicable Margins; Fees. 

(a) Subject to Sections 2.4(c) and 2.4(d), each Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
date when made at a rate per annum equal to the Tranche Rate plus the Tranche Rate Adjustment, or the Base Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin. Each determination of an interest rate by Lender shall be conclusive and binding on
Borrower in the absence of manifest error. All computations of Fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, which results in more
interest charged than if interest were calculated based on a 365-day year. Interest and Fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such Fees are computed from (and including) the first day
thereof to (but excluding) the last day thereof. 

  
 5 












 (b) All as determined by Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents and Lender’s loan
systems and procedures periodically in effect, interest shall be paid in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) on the date of each payment or prepayment of Advances on and after the Commitment Termination Date. Lender may
estimate the amount of interest that Borrower will owe on Borrower’s periodic statements and Lender may adjust the amount of interest owed on each subsequent statement provided to Borrower to reflect any differential between the estimated
amount of interest shown on Borrower’s preceding statement and the actual amount of interest determined to have been due by Lender on the preceding Interest Payment Date. Borrower agrees to pay the amount shown due on the Interest Payment Date
on each of Borrower’s periodic statements on each Interest Payment Date. 
 (c) At the election of Lender while any Event of Default
exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), 9.1(h) or 9.1(i) exists), interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by Law) on the Advances
and the Letter of Credit Fees shall increase, from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, to a rate per annum which is determined by adding 2.0% per annum to the Applicable Margin or Letter of Credit Fee, as applicable, then in
effect for such Advances (plus the Tranche Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be) or Letter of Credit Obligations, as applicable (the “Default Rate”). All such interest shall be payable on demand of Lender. 

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of
interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any Law applicable to
Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by Lender, and in such event Borrower shall pay Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable Law (“Maximum Lawful
Rate”) for such period; provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such
time as the total interest received by Lender is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as
otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
 (e) Fees. 

(i) Closing Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date a closing Fee in the aggregate amount of $250,000.
(the “Closing Fee”). The Closing Fee is fully-earned and non-refundable as of the Closing Date. 

(ii) Unused Line Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a commitment Fee (the “Unused Line Fee”), which
shall accrue, as of each day during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Loan Commitment terminates, at the rate set forth in the “Unused Line Fee” column of the table contained in
the definition of Applicable Margin on the then daily amount of the difference of the Revolving Loan Commitment minus the sum of (A) the aggregate outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Advances plus (B) the outstanding
amount of Letter of Credit Obligations. The accrued Unused Line Fee shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, all as determined by Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents and Lender’s loan systems and procedures
periodically in effect. Accruals of the Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed during the applicable period (including the first day but excluding the last day
of such period). 

  
 6 












 (iii) Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender with
respect to each standby Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) a Fee in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin for Tranche Rate Loans from time to time in effect multiplied by the maximum amount available from time to time
to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, which Fee shall be payable (as more specifically determined pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents with respect to such Letter of Credit and otherwise as determined by Lender in accordance with the Loan
Documents and Lender’s loan systems and procedures periodically in effect) in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; and 

(A) on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Lender on account of any Letter of Credit Obligations. 

All such Fees are fully earned by Lender when paid and non-refundable. The Letter of Credit Fee will be
calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. 

(iv) NSF Fees. In addition to, and without limiting, any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
Lender may impose a non-sufficient funds fee for any check that is presented for payment that is returned for any reason. 

2.5. Tranche Rate Provisions. 

(a) Tranche Rate Election. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.2, Borrower may request that Revolving
Credit Advances permitted to be made hereunder be Tranche Rate Loans and that outstanding portions of Advances made hereunder be converted to Tranche Rate Loans. Any request with respect to a new Revolving Credit Advance will be made by submitting a
Notice of Borrowing to Lender. Once given, and except as provided in clauses (b)-(f) below, a Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable, and Borrower shall be bound thereby. In the case of any conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Tranche Rate Loan,
any conversion of an existing Tranche Rate Loan to a new Tranche Rate Loan with a different Interest Period, or any conversion of a Tranche Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, such election must be made pursuant to a Notice of Conversion. In addition to
the other provisions of this Agreement, as a condition to any Tranche Rate election hereunder, on or before the date on which the applicable Tranche Rate Loan is to be advanced or converted hereunder, in each case in accordance with Lender’s
loan policies and procedures periodically in effect, Borrower shall notify Lender of each of the following: (i) the requested amount of such Tranche Rate Loan, (ii) the Interest Period that Borrower has elected to apply to such Tranche
Rate Loan, and (iii) the date of the requested advance or conversion. In the absence of a Notice of Conversion submitted to Lender not later than noon Pacific Standard Time (or such later time acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion) on the
Business Day on which such Interest Period expires, Borrower will be deemed to have requested that the Tranche Rate Loan then maturing be continued as a Tranche Rate Loan for the same Interest Period commencing on the date on which such expiring
Interest Period ends. If Borrower requests a new Advance but fails to submit a Notice of Borrowing as required by this paragraph, and if Borrower would 

  
 7 












 
otherwise be entitled to elect a Tranche Rate Loan under the terms of this Agreement, Borrower will be deemed to have elected to have such principal amount bear interest as a Tranche Rate Loan
with an Interest Period of one month, commencing on the date of the advance. Unless otherwise permitted by Lender in its sole discretion: (A) in no event may the last day of any Interest Period exceed the Commitment Termination Date,
(B) in no event may any new Interest Period commence with respect to any Tranche Rate Loan requested to be converted hereunder prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period then in effect with respect to such Tranche Rate
Loan, (C) there may be no more than five (5) Tranche Rate Loans outstanding at any one time, and (D) if required by Lender in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, each request for a Tranche Rate Loan, whether by
original issuance or conversion, shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 and, if in excess of such amount, in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess of such amount. 

(b) Temporary Replacement of the Tranche Rate and Tenor Replacement. In the event, prior to commencement of any Interest Period
relating to a Tranche Rate Loan, Lender shall determine that: (i) the Tranche Rate is unavailable, unrepresentative, or unreliable, (ii) the Tranche Rate as determined by Lender will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of
funding the Tranche Rate Loans for such Interest Period, or (iii) the making or funding of Tranche Rate Loans has become impracticable; then, in any such case, Lender shall promptly provide notice of such determination to Borrower (which shall
be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error), and (A) any request for a Tranche Rate Loan or for a conversion to or continuation of a Tranche Rate Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base
Rate Loan, (B) each Tranche Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and (C) the obligations of Lender to make Tranche Rate Loans shall be suspended until
Lender determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, in which event Lender shall so notify Borrower. 
 At any time
(including in connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate), Lender may remove any tenor of a Tranche Rate that is unavailable, non-representative, or not in compliance with or aligned with the
International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, in Lender’s sole discretion, for Tranche Rate settings; provided however that Lender may reinstate such previously removed tenor for
Tranche Rate settings, if Lender determines in its sole discretion that such tenor has become available and representative again. 
 (c)
Tranche Rate Replacement. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and
any Rate Contract shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.5(c)), but without limiting Section 2.5(b) above, if Lender determines (which determination
shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error) that any of the circumstances described in Section 2.5(b)(i)-(iii) has occurred and is unlikely to be temporary or the administrator of the Tranche Rate or
a Governmental Authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over Lender has made a public statement identifying a specific date (the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”) after which the Tranche Rate will no longer be
representative or made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans or otherwise cease or no longer be in compliance or 

  
 8 












 
aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Benchmarks, and there is no successor administrator satisfactory to Lender, then on a date and time
determined by Lender, but no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, the Tranche Rate will be replaced hereunder and under any other Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR. 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Lender determines that the Successor Rate designated in
Section 2.5(c)(i) above is not available or administratively feasible, or if any of the circumstances described in Section 2.5(c)(i) with regard to the Tranche Rate has occurred with respect to a
Successor Rate then in effect, Lender may replace the Tranche Rate or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.5(c) with another alternative benchmark rate and a Spread Adjustment, giving due
consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities and any recommendations of a relevant Governmental Authority, and which Spread Adjustment or method for calculating such Spread
Adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Lender from time to time in its reasonable discretion. 

(iii) If the Successor Rate is based on Daily Simple SOFR, interest shall be due and payable on a monthly basis. 

(iv) Any such alternative benchmark rate and Spread Adjustment shall constitute a Successor Rate hereunder. Any Successor Rate
shall become effective on the date set forth in a written notice provided by Lender to Borrower (such date to be five or more Business Days after the date of such notice), and, for the avoidance of doubt, from and after such date (i) all
Tranche Rate Loans shall bear interest at the Successor Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) all references herein and in any other Loan Documents to “Tranche Rate” shall mean and refer to the Successor Rate. 

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Successor Rate would be less than the Index Floor, the Successor
Rate will be deemed to be the Index Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (vi) Lender
does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, or any other matter related to the Tranche Rate or any Successor Rate, including the selection of such rate, any
related Spread Adjustment, or any Conforming Changes, or whether the composition or characteristics of any Successor Rate and Spread Adjustment or Conforming Changes will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the
initial Tranche Rate. 
 (vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, after the Closing Date,
Borrower enters into a Rate Contract with respect to all or part of a Tranche Rate Loan and the floating interest rate under the Rate Contract is Daily Simple SOFR, Lender may replace the Tranche Rate hereunder with Daily Simple SOFR and a Spread
Adjustment without the consent of any other party hereto; provided further that, if subsequent thereto, Lender and Borrower amend such Rate Contract to include, or 

  
 9 












 
terminate such Rate Contract and enter into a new Rate Contract with, a floating interest rate thereunder of the original Tranche Rate, then Lender may further replace Daily Simple SOFR hereunder
with the original Tranche Rate (and a Spread Adjustment, if applicable) hereunder without the consent of any other party hereto; and, in either such event, (A) such rate shall be a Successor Rate hereunder, and (B) Lender shall provide
written notice thereof to Borrower. 
 (d) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if any Law shall make it unlawful
for Lender to make, fund or maintain Tranche Rate Loans, Lender shall promptly give notice of such circumstances to Borrower. In such an event, (i) the commitment of Lender to make Tranche Rate Loans, continue Tranche Rate Loans as Tranche Rate
Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Tranche Rate Loans shall be immediately suspended and (ii) all outstanding Tranche Rate Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period thereof or at such
earlier time as may be required by Law. 
 (e) Tranche Rate Breakage Fee. Upon (i) any default by Borrower in making any
borrowing of, conversion into or conversion of any Tranche Rate Loan following Borrower’s delivery to Lender of any applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or (ii) any payment of a Tranche Rate Loan on any day that is not
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (regardless of the source of such prepayment and whether voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrower shall promptly pay Lender an amount equal to the amount of any losses, expenses and
liabilities (including any loss (including interest paid) in connection with the re-employment of such funds) that Lender sustains as a result of such default or such payment. 

(f) Increased Costs. If, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
(including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any successor thereto, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the Tranche Rate pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), special
deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by Lender, or (ii) shall impose on Lender any other condition affecting its Tranche
Rate Loans, any of its notes issued pursuant hereto (if any) or its obligation to make Tranche Rate Loans; and the result of anything described in these clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) Lender of
making or maintaining any Tranche Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement or under any of its notes issued pursuant hereto (if any) with respect thereto, then upon demand by Lender,
Borrower shall promptly pay directly to Lender such additional amount as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or such reduction, as long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is nine (9) months prior to the date on
which Lender first made demand therefor (except that, if the occurrence giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof). 
 (g) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, implementation, or administration of the Tranche Rate,
including any temporary or permanent replacement for the Tranche Rate, Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any such Conforming
Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Lender will promptly notify Borrower of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use,
implementation, or administration of the Tranche Rate, or any temporary or permanent replacement of the Tranche Rate.

 2.6. Letters of Credit. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions
contained herein and in Annex A, Borrower shall have the right to request, and Lender agrees to incur, Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 

2.7. General Provisions Regarding Payment. Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00 p.m. (Pacific
Standard Time) on the day when due in immediately available funds in Dollars to the account of Lender provided to Borrower from time to time. For purposes of computing interest and Fees and determining Borrowing Availability as of any date, all
payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which immediately available funds therefor are received by Lender prior to noon Pacific Standard Time. Payments received in by Lender after noon Pacific Standard Time on any Business Day or on
a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day so long as such funds are available funds. 

2.8. Loan Account. Lender shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record all Advances, all
payments made by Borrower, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Advances or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Lender’s customary accounting
practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on Lender’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Lender by
Borrower; provided, that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations. Lender shall render to Borrower a monthly accounting of transactions with respect
to the Advances setting forth the balance of the Loan Account for the immediately preceding month. Each and every such accounting shall be presumptive evidence of all matters reflected therein absent manifest error. 

2.9. Taxes. 
 (a) Gross-up for Taxes. All payments of principal and interest on the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes,
except as required by applicable Law. If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then the applicable
Loan Party will (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted, (ii) promptly forward to Lender an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Lender evidencing such payment to
such authority, and (iii) if the Tax is an Indemnified Tax, pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Lender will equal the full amount Lender would have received had no
such withholding or deduction been required. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. If any
Indemnified Taxes are directly asserted 

  
 11 












 
against Lender (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to a payment received hereunder or any other Loan Document or with respect to, or arising from, the obligations of the Loan Parties under
any Loan Document, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) payable or paid by Lender and any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ or tax advisor fees and expenses), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. 

(b) Interest and Penalties. If Borrower or any other applicable Loan Party fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties and reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and tax advisor fees and expenses) that may become payable by Lender (or any of its Affiliates) as a result of any
such failure. 
 (c) Withholding Documentation. At Borrower’s request, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower a United
States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. 
 (d) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Lender
determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.9 (including by the payment in error of additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(d)), it shall, so long as no Event of Default is occurring, pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with
respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Lender or its Affiliates and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Loan Parties, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.9(d)
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that Lender or its Affiliates is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 2.9(d), in no event will Lender be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) the payment of which would place such Person (or its Affiliates) in a less
favorable net after-Tax position than such Person (or its Affiliates) would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise
imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.9(d) shall not be construed to require Lender or its Affiliates to make available its respective
Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to a Loan Party or any other Person. 
 (e) Usage
of Terms. For the purposes of this Section 2.9 and the definitions of Excluded Tax, Indemnified Tax, Taxes, and Other Taxes used therein, “Lender” means Lender and, subject to
Section 11.6(b), any Participant. 

  
 12 












 2.10. Capital Adequacy. If Lender or any Person controlling Lender shall reasonably
determine that any Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit to a level
below that which Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law, then from time to time, upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender such additional amount as will compensate Lender or such
controlling Person for such reduction. 
 2.11. Mitigation Obligations. If Lender requests compensation under either
Section 2.5(f) or Section 2.10, or requires Borrower to pay any additional amount to Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of Lender pursuant to
Section 2.9, then, upon the written request of Borrower, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder (subject to the provisions of Section 11.6) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts
payable pursuant to any such Section, as the case may be, in the future, (b) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, and (c) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender (as determined in its reasonable
discretion). Without limitation of the provisions of Section 10.1, Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

2.12. Notes. Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event,
Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to Lender a Note payable to the order of Lender (or, if requested by Lender, to Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by Lender. Thereafter, subject to
Section 2.8, the Advances evidenced by such Notes and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if any such Note is a
registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns) and this Agreement. 
  

	3.	 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 



To induce Lender to make the Advances and to incur Letter of Credit Obligations, the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, hereby make the
following representations and warranties to Lender as of the Closing Date, as of the date of the making of each Advance (or other extension of credit), and as of any other date such representations and warranties are deemed made pursuant to the

 13 












 
a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary is qualified to do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, which jurisdictions
as of the Closing Date are specified on Schedule 3.1, except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1, as of the Closing Date, no Loan
Party or any Subsidiary has in the five (5) year period preceding the Closing Date, had any name other than its current name, or been incorporated or organized under the Laws of any jurisdiction other than its current jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization, or been party to any merger, consolidation or other change in structure. No Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is an Affected Financial Institution. 

3.2. Organization and Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents
to which it is a party (a) are within its powers, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary action pursuant to its Organizational Documents and applicable Law, (c) require no further action by or in respect of, or filing or
registration with, or notice to or authorization or approval of, any Governmental Authority, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (except Liens created pursuant to
the Loan Documents), and (d) do not violate, conflict with or cause a breach or a default under (i) any Law, (ii) any of the Organizational Documents of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or (iii) any agreement or instrument
binding upon it, except for such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults as would not, with respect to each of clauses (i) and (iii), reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

3.3. Binding Effect. Each of the Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party constitutes a valid and binding agreement or
instrument of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Laws relating to the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. 
 3.4. Capitalization. The issued and outstanding and
authorized Stock of each Subsidiary as of the Closing Date is as set forth on Schedule 3.4. All issued and outstanding Stock of each Subsidiary is duly authorized and validly issued (and, in the case of a Subsidiary that is a corporation,
fully paid and non-assessable), free and clear of all Liens other than those in favor of Lender, and such Stock was issued in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable Laws. The identity of the
holders of the Stock of each Subsidiary and the percentage of their actual and fully diluted ownership of the Stock of each Subsidiary, in each case as of the Closing Date, is set forth on Schedule 3.4. No shares of the Stock of any

 14 












 3.5. Financial Information. 

(a) Annual Statements. The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the most recent Fiscal Year then ended, in each case as reported in Borrower’s annual report on form 10-K, as filed with the SEC, copies of which
have been delivered or made available to Lender from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, fairly present in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as
of such date and their consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for such Fiscal Year. 
 (b)
Quarterly Statements. The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the most recent Fiscal Quarter then ended (other than the fourth Fiscal Quarter
of each Fiscal Year), in each case as reported in Borrower’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC, copies of which have been delivered or made available to Lender from time to time
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, fairly present in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash
flows for the Fiscal Quarter then ended (subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnote disclosures). 

(c) Pro Forma Balance Sheet. The pro forma balance sheet of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2022 a
copy of which has been delivered to Lender, fairly presents in all material respects, on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements referred to in Section 3.5(a), the consolidated financial position of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries as of such date, adjusted to give effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the making of any Advances and the issuance of any Letters of Credit to be made on the Closing Date, (ii) the application of
the proceeds therefrom as contemplated by the Loan Documents, and (iii) the payment of all legal, accounting and other fees related thereto to the extent known at the time of the preparation of such balance sheet. As of the date of such pro
forma balance sheet and the date hereof, no Loan Party or any Subsidiary had or has any material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, including liabilities for Taxes, long term leases or forward or long term commitments, which are not properly
reflected on such balance sheet. 
 (d) Projections. The Projections delivered on the date hereof have been prepared by the Borrower
in light of the past operations of its businesses, but including future payments of known contingent liabilities, including the Concorde Acquisition, and reflect projections for the period beginning on October 1, 2022 and ending on
September 30, 2025, on a month-by-month basis for the first year and on a
year-by-year basis thereafter. The Projections are based upon the same accounting principles as those used in the preparation of the Financial Statements described above
and the estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of which the Borrower believes to be reasonable and fair in light of current conditions and current facts known to any Loan Party and, as of the Closing Date, reflect the Borrower’s good
faith and reasonable estimates of the future financial performance of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period set forth therein. The Projections are not a guaranty of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from the
Projections. 
 (e) No Material Adverse Effect. Since June 30, 2022, there has been no Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 15 












 3.6. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes
pending, or to the best knowledge of each Loan Party, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, against any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties which individually
or in the aggregate: 
 (a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby; 
 (b) would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate as to all Loan Parties, a Material
Adverse Effect; or 
 (c) seek an injunction or other equitable relief which would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in
the aggregate as to all Loan Parties, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 No injunction, writ, temporary restraining order or any order of any
nature has been issued by any court or other Governmental Authority purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or directing that the transactions provided for herein or
therein not be consummated as herein or therein provided. As of the Closing Date, no Loan Party or any Subsidiary is the subject of an audit or, to each Loan Party’s knowledge, any review or investigation by any Governmental Authority

may be made against any of them, on account of wages and employee and retiree health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on their books, as the case may be. The consummation of the transactions

or any Governmental Authority has taken or threatened any action in connection with any such violation, Release or other matter. If Lender at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Laws or
Environmental Permits by any Loan Party or any Environmental Liability arising thereunder, or a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, that, in each case, would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, then each Loan Party shall, upon Lender’s written request (i) cause the performance of such environmental audits including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and preparation of such environmental

until satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Concorde Acquisition have been met. 
 8.2. Further Conditions to Each Advance.
Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Advance, convert or continue any Advance as a Tranche Rate Loan or incur any Letter of Credit Obligation, if, as of the date thereof: 

(a) any representation or warranty by any Loan Party contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any certificate
or other document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, is or becomes untrue or incorrect in any material respect (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties
that are already qualified or modified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect in the text thereof), except to the extent that such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date in which case such representation or warranty is
untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of such earlier date (except that such material qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) and, in
each case, except for changes therein expressly permitted or expressly contemplated by this Agreement; 
 (b) any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or would result after giving effect to any Advance (or the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation); 

  
 37 












 (c) after giving effect to any Advance (or the incurrence of any Letter of Credit
Obligations), the outstanding aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposure would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment or the limitations imposed by Section 6.5; or 

(d) an event shall have occurred, or a condition shall exist, that has or could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

The request and acceptance by Borrower of the proceeds of any Advance (including the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligations or the conversion or
continuation of any Advance into, or as, a Tranche Rate Loan) shall be deemed to constitute, as of the date thereof, (i) a representation and warranty by each Loan Party that the conditions in this Section 8.2 have
been satisfied and (ii) a reaffirmation by each Loan Party of the granting and continuance of Lender’s Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

 40 












 (d) During the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized by each Loan
Party at any time or from time to time, with contemporaneous notice to Borrower (any prior notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (i) balances held by Lender or any of Lender’s
Affiliates at any of its offices for the account of any Loan Party (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party), and (ii) other property at any time held or owing by Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates to or for

respect to the Obligations as provided in this Section 9.2. 
 9.3. Application of Proceeds. 

(a) After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the

(a) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all
commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which any Loan Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard,
(b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Lender’s taking possession or control of, or to Lender’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, the Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing

 41 












 
investigation, documentation, negotiation, closing and syndication of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, in connection with the performance by Lender of its rights and remedies

(A) the creation, perfection and maintenance of Liens pursuant to the Loan Documents and (B) protecting, storing, insuring, handling, maintaining or selling any Collateral, (iii) without limitation of the preceding clause (i), all
actual costs and out of pocket expenses of Lender in connection with (A) any Litigation, dispute, suit or proceeding relating to any Loan Document and (B) any workout, collection, bankruptcy, insolvency, post-judgment or other enforcement
proceedings under any and all of the Loan Documents, and (iv) all actual costs and out of pocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any Litigation, dispute, suit or proceeding relating to any Loan Document and in connection with any
workout, collection, bankruptcy, insolvency, post-judgment or other enforcement proceedings under any and all Loan Documents, provided, that to the extent that the actual costs and expenses referred to in this clause (iv) consist of
reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel, Borrower shall be obligated to pay such reasonable fees, costs and expenses for counsel to Lender and local counsel to Lender in each relevant jurisdiction. 

10.2. Indemnity. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to indemnify, pay and hold harmless Lender and the Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, trustees, agents, investment advisors, collateral managers, servicers, and counsel of Lender (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitee) in connection with any investigative, response, remedial,
administrative or judicial matter or proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on behalf of a Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, and the reasonable expenses of
investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than any broker retained by Lender) asserting any right to payment for the transactions

indirect result of the presence on or under, or escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from, any property now or previously owned, leased or operated by a Loan Party or any other Person of any Hazardous Materials or any
Hazardous Materials Contamination, (B) arising out of or relating to the offsite disposal of any materials generated or present on any such property, or (C) arising out of or resulting from the environmental condition of any such property

from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the

indemnified liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.2 THAT APPLY TO, AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE
FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO, ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES AND LIABILTIES THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM OR ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE OR THE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF LENDER OR ANY OTHER INDEMNITEE
UNDER THIS SECTION 10.2. 
  

	11.	 MISCELLANEOUS 



11.1. Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in every other Loan Document shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of Sections 2.5(f), 2.9, 2.10, 10, and 11 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and any termination of this Agreement. 

11.2. No Waivers. No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein and therein provided shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. Any reference in any Loan Document to the “continuing” nature of any Event of Default shall not be construed as establishing or otherwise indicating that Borrower or any other Loan Party
has the independent right to cure any such Event of Default, but is rather presented merely for convenience should such Event of Default be waived in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents. 

11.3. Notices. 
 (a) All
notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier, e-mail, electronic submissions or similar writing, but not facsimile transmission)
and shall be given to such party at its address or e-mail address set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or e-mail address as such party may
hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to Lender and Borrower; provided, that notices, requests or other communications shall be permitted by e-mail or other electronic submissions only in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3(b). Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by e-mail or other electronic submissions, as
set forth in Section 11.3(c) or (ii) if given by mail, prepaid overnight courier or any other means, when received at the applicable address specified by this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
and for the avoidance of any doubt, notices, requests and other communications delivered by facsimile transmission do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 11.3. 

  
 43 












 (b) Notices and other communications to the parties hereto may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites); provided, that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to notices sent directly to any party hereto if such party has
notified Lender that it has elected not to receive notices by electronic communication (which election may be limited to particular notices) and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion or any notices regarding request for advances
hereunder shall be delivered or furnished by Borrower by electronic communication in accordance with all procedures established by or otherwise acceptable to Lender from time to time in its sole discretion. 

(c) Unless Lender otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail
address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or
other written acknowledgment), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address
as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided, that if any such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during
normal business hours, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day. 

11.4. Severability. In case any provision of or obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document 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. 

11.5. Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified
unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by Borrower and Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties hereby authorize Lender to (i) correct any
patent (or scrivener’s) errors or other erroneous content in the Loan Documents, (ii) date any dates and fill in any blanks or other missing content in any of the Loan Documents, and (iii) replace or substitute pages, as applicable,
in each Loan Document that were changed to correct such errors or fill in such dates, missing content or blanks (each a “Corrected Document”), in each case, without the need for a written amendment signed by the parties;
provided that Lender shall send a copy of any such Corrected Document to Borrower (which copy may be given by electronic mail). Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, Borrower further covenants that it shall, and shall cause
each of the other Loan Parties to, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered (or, as applicable, re-execute, re-acknowledge
and re-deliver), (A) each agreement, instrument or other document that was incorrectly drafted and signed at the Closing Date and (B) all such further assurances and other agreements, instruments or
documents, and take or cause to be taken all such other actions, as Lender shall request from time to time to permit Lender to evidence or give effect to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any of the
transactions contemplated hereby, including to perfect (or continue the perfection of) and protect Lender’s Liens upon the Collateral, and shall take such other action as may be requested by Lender to give effect to or carry out the intent and
purposes of this Agreement. 

  
 44 












 11.6. Assignments; Participations. 

(a) Assignments. With the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Lender (and any
subsequent assignee of Lender) may transfer and assign all or any of its rights or delegate any or all of its duties under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required in connection with
(i) any assignment to an Affiliate of the assignor, (ii) any assignment, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (the determination of such Event of Default to be in Lender’s sole discretion), and (iii) any
assignment to any corporation or association into which the Lender may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its business, or any line of business, or assets as
a whole or substantially as a whole (and in respect of (iii), such corporation or association shall be and become the successor Lender under this Agreement and shall have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its
predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act). Subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 11.8, Lender may, without obtaining any consent of any
Loan Party, disclose to all prospective and actual assignees and Participants all financial, business and other information about the Loan Parties which Lender may possess at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, Lender may, without obtaining any
consent of any Loan Party, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party hereto. 

(b) Participations. Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower, sell to one or more Persons participating
interests in its Advances, commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) Lender’s obligations hereunder
shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, and (iii) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined
as if Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to Lender, provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower hereby agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 2.10 and the requirements under Section 2.9(c) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.9(c) shall be delivered to Lender) to the same
extent as if it were Lender; provided, further, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, with respect to any participation, than Lender would have been entitled to
receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Law, regulation ruling, treaty or other action or doctrine of a Governmental Authority that occurs after the date the Participant acquired the
applicable participation. Borrower acknowledges that Participants have and will have certain rights under their respective participation agreements with Lender that may, subject to the terms of the participation agreements, require Lender to obtain
the consent (collectively, “Participant Consents”) of some or all of the Participants before Lender takes or refrains from taking certain actions (other than as 

  
 45 












 
expressly required by the Loan Documents) or grants waivers, consents or approvals in respect of the Advances, the Loan Documents or the Collateral. None of the Participants, however, will have
Participant Consent rights which are greater than those rights and remedies Lender has under the Loan Documents. In addition, from time to time, Lender may request instructions from the Participants in respect of the actions, waivers, consents or
approvals which by the terms of any of the Loan Documents Lender is permitted or required to take or to grant or to not take or grant (“Participant Instructions”). If the Participant Consents are, pursuant to the terms of the
respective participation agreements, required or Participant Instructions are requested, Lender will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.6(b), (A) be absolutely empowered to take or refrain from
taking any action (other than as expressly required by the Loan Documents) or withhold any waiver, consent or approval, and (B) not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person, including Borrower and any Participant, from taking or
refraining from taking any action or withholding any waiver, consent or approval under any of the Loan Documents until it has received the requisite Participant Consents or, as applicable, the Participant Instructions. Borrower agrees that if
amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest
in amounts owing under this Agreement and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as Lender under this Agreement. If Lender sells a participation to a
Participant as provided under this Section 11.6(b), it shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that Lender
shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its
other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and Lender shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Lender shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant
Register. 
 (c) Loan Party Assignments. No Loan Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or other
obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of Lender. 
 11.7. Headings. Headings and
captions used in the Loan Documents (including the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes hereto and thereto) are included for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect. 

11.8. Confidentiality. Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding the Loan Parties
and their respective businesses identified as such by Borrower and obtained by Lender by a Loan Party pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with Lender’s customary procedures for handling information of such nature, except that
disclosure of such information may be made (i) to Lender’s Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, 

  
 46 












 
agents, trustees, administrators, managers, auditors, professional consultants, advisors and representatives of Lender and of Lender’s Affiliates (collectively, the “Related
Parties” of Lender) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (ii) to rating agencies,
insurance industry associations and portfolio management services, (iii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of or participants in any interest in the Advances and, as applicable, the Loan Documents, to prospective contractual
counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) in Rate Contracts permitted hereby and to prospective providers of Bank Products, provided, that any such Persons shall have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this
Section 11.8, (iv) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties, including any self-regulatory authority, (v) to any other party
hereto, (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,
(vii) as required by Law, subpoena, judicial order or similar order and in connection with any Litigation, (viii) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of such Person, (ix) with the
consent of Borrower, (x) to the extent such information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (B) becomes available to Lender or any of its Related Parties on a nonconfidential basis
from a source other than the Loan Parties, and (xi) to a Person that is a trustee, investment advisor, collateral manager, servicer, noteholder or secured party in a Securitization (as hereinafter defined) in connection with the administration,
servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for such Securitization. For the purposes of this Section, “Securitization” shall mean a public or private offering by Lender or any of its Affiliates or their respective
successors and assigns, of Stock or debt securities which represent an interest in, or which are collateralized, in whole or in part, by the Advances. Confidential information shall include only such information identified as such at the time
provided to Lender and shall not include information that either (A) is in the public domain, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to such Person through no fault of such Person, or (B) is disclosed to such Person by a
Person other than a Loan Party, provided, Lender does not have actual knowledge that such Person is prohibited from disclosing such information. The obligations of Lender under this Section 11.8 shall supersede and
replace the obligations of Lender under any confidentiality agreement in respect of this financing executed and delivered by Lender prior to the date hereof. 

11.9. Waiver of Consequential and Other Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and
each Loan Party 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for
any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

  
 47 












 11.10. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall not be under any obligation to
marshal any assets in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes any payment or Lender enforces its Liens or Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or
the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid by anyone, then to the extent of such recovery, the
Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefore, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred. 
 11.11. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT, EACH
NOTE AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO OR ARISING THEREFROM (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW. EACH LOAN PARTY
HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO LENDER’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON EACH SUCH LOAN PARTY BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, ADDRESSED TO SUCH LOAN PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE 10 DAYS AFTER THE SAME HAS BEEN POSTED. 
 11.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH LOAN PARTY AND LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
THEREBY AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH LOAN PARTY AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS RELIED
ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH LOAN PARTY AND LENDER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF
REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS. 

  
 48 












 11.13. Publication; Advertisement. 

(a) Publication. No Loan Party will directly or indirectly publish, disclose or otherwise use in any public disclosure, advertising
material, promotional material, press release or interview, any reference to the name, logo or any trademark of Fifth Third or any of its Affiliates or any reference to this Agreement or the financing evidenced hereby, in any case except (i) as
required by Law, subpoena or judicial or similar order, in which case the applicable Loan Party shall give Lender prior written notice of such publication or other disclosure or (ii) with Fifth Third’s prior written consent. 

(b) Advertisement. Following public disclosure by Borrower of this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Lender to publish the
name of such Loan Party, the existence of the financing arrangements referenced under this Agreement, the primary purpose and/or structure of those arrangements, the amount of credit extended under each facility, the title and role of each party to
this Agreement, and the total amount of the financing evidenced hereby in any “tombstone”, comparable advertisement or press release which Lender elects to submit for publication. In addition, each Loan Party agrees that Lender may provide
lending industry trade organizations with information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements after the Closing Date. With respect to any of the foregoing, Lender shall provide Borrower with an opportunity to review and
confer with Lender regarding the contents of any such tombstone, advertisement or information, as applicable, prior to its submission for publication and, following such review period, Lender may, from time to time, publish such information in any
media form desired by Lender, until such time that Borrower shall have requested Lender cease any such further publication. 
 11.14.
Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
instrument. Signatures by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including “pdf” or “tif” format) shall bind the parties hereto. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding
among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 

11.15. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the
event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. 
 11.16. USA PATRIOT Act Notification. Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record certain information and documentation that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and such other
information that will allow Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. The Loan Parties agree to, promptly following a request by Lender, provide all such other documentation and information that Lender requests in
order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. 

  
 49 












 11.17. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of
Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected
Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder
which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full
or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or
other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in
lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any applicable Resolution Authority. 

11.18. CALIFORNIA JUDICIAL REFERENCE. In the event any legal proceeding is filed in a court of or in the State of California (the
“Court”) by or against a Loan Party or Lender in connection with any controversy, dispute or claim directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Notes issued pursuant hereto (if any), the Loan Documents or
the transactions contemplated thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) (each, a “Claim”) and the waiver set forth in the preceding Section 11.12 is not enforceable in such action or
proceeding, the Loan Parties and Lender (by its acceptance hereof) agree as follows: 
 (a) With the exception of the matters specified in
Section 11.18(b) below, any Claim will be determined by a general reference proceeding in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638 through 645.2, including any revision or
replacement of such statutes or rules hereafter enacted. The Loan Parties and Lender intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, including any
revision or replacement of such statute or rule hereafter enacted. Except as otherwise provided in this and the other related Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where
venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable Law. 
 (b) The following matters shall not be subject to a general reference proceeding:
(i) judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property; (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation,
set-off); (iii) appointment of a receiver; and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or
preliminary injunctions or other 

  
 50 












 
injunction relief). This Section 11.18 does not limit the right of the Loan Parties or Lender to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in
Section 11.18(b) (i) - (iv) and any such exercise or opposition does not waive the right of the Loan Parties or Lender to a reference proceeding pursuant to this Section 11.18. 

(c) Upon the written request of the Loan Parties or Lender, the Loan Parties and Lender shall select a single referee, who shall be a retired
judge or justice. If the Loan Parties and Lender do not agree upon a referee within ten (10) days of such written request then the Loan Parties or Lender may request the Court to appoint a referee pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 640(b), including any revision or replacement of such statute or rule hereafter enacted. 
 (d) All proceedings and hearings
conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except when the Loan Parties or Lender so requests, a court reporter will be used and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The
party making such request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay costs of the court reporter, provided that such costs, along with the referee’s fees, shall ultimately be borne by the party who does not prevail, as determined by the
referee. 
 (e) The referee may require one or more prehearing conferences. The Loan Parties and Lender shall be entitled to discovery, and
the referee shall oversee discovery in accordance with the rules of discovery, and may enforce all discovery orders in the same manner as any trial court judge in proceedings at law in the State of California. The referee shall apply the rules of
evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California and shall determine all issues in accordance with applicable state and federal law. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief and rule on any motion
which would be authorized in a trial, including, without limitation, motions for default judgment or summary judgment. The referee shall report the referee’s decision, which report shall also include findings of fact and conclusions of law.

 (f) THE LOAN PARTIES AND LENDER RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS RESOLVED IN A GENERAL REFERENCE PROCEEDING PURSUANT HERETO WILL BE
DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY.

 ANNEX A 

to 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 LETTERS OF CREDIT 

(a) Issuance. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Lender agrees to incur, from time to time prior to the Commitment
Termination Date, upon the request of Borrower and for Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s account, Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued by Lender for Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s account. Borrower
shall give Lender at least five Business Days prior written notice requesting the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation. The notice shall be accompanied by a completed Letter of Credit application. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, Letter of Credit applications by Borrower and communications by Lender may be made and transmitted pursuant to electronic codes and security measures mutually agreed upon and established by and between Borrower and Lender. Borrower
hereby authorizes Lender to accept, act upon, and treat as genuine and original (but without any obligation of Lender to do any of the foregoing) applications, authorizations, and other requests regardless of the manner communicated, including those
sent or communicated via overnight courier, certified or non-certified mail, fax, email, electronic code, or phone, so long as Lender does not have actual knowledge that a particular application,
authorization, or other request is not authorized by Borrower. 
 (ii) Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute
utilization of the Commitments. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, extended, reinstated, or otherwise amended only if (and upon issuance, extension, reinstatement or other amendment of each Letter of Credit Borrower shall be deemed to represent and
warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, extension, reinstatement or other amendment, (i) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed $20,000,000.00 (the “L/C Sublimit”); and
(ii) Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment. 
 (iii) Borrower is responsible for preparing
or approving the text of each Letter of Credit as submitted to and as issued by Lender and as received by the beneficiary, notwithstanding any drafting recommendations or forms provided by Lender. Lender’s recommendation or drafting of text or
Lender’s use or non-use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s ultimate responsibility. Borrower is responsible for Lender’s failure to apply, or to observe
standard practice as applied to, Letter of Credit terms or conditions, and for terms or conditions that (A) are erroneous, ambiguous, inconsistent, insufficient, ineffective, or illegal, (B) require Lender to respond to a demand in fewer
than three Business Days, or (C) require or allow Borrower to sign, issue, or present a document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Lender’s obligation to issue, amend, or extend the expiration date of a Letter of
Credit is subject to its review and approval of the proposed terms of the Letter of Credit (and any amendment thereof) in its sole discretion. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that 

  
 Annex A 












 
Borrower is familiar with, and understands, applicable Law and letter of credit practice. If requested by Lender, Borrower will execute, deliver, and submit a letter of credit application and
reimbursement agreement on Lender’s standard forms in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any such letter of
credit application or reimbursement agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control, for so long as Borrower and Lender are subject thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to Borrower’s
ultimate responsibility as set forth above in this paragraph (a), Lender’s obligation to issue, amend, or extend the expiration date of a Letter of Credit is subject to its review and approval of the proposed terms of the Letter of Credit (and
any amendment thereof) in its sole discretion. 
 (iv) Borrower will notify Lender in writing no later than three Business
Days after Borrower first becomes aware of any objection Borrower may have to Lender’s issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit, Lender’s acceptance or rejection of a presentation under any Letter of Credit, or any other action or
inaction taken or proposed to be taken by Lender under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement, document, or instrument relating hereto; provided, however, that if Lender reasonably believes that it is obligated to take
any action, including, but not limited to, the payment on a Letter of Credit in a period of time less than three Business Days, Lender is allowed to take such action without liability to Borrower. Borrower’s failure to give timely and specific
notice of objection shall automatically waive Borrower’s objection, authorize or ratify Lender’s action or inaction, and absolutely preclude Borrower from raising the objection as a defense or claim against Lender (or any Indemnitee). If
Lender approaches Borrower for a waiver of discrepancies in a presentation, then Borrower must respond within three Business Days. Lender may treat Borrower’s failure to respond as a waiver of the indicated discrepancies, but need not itself
accept Borrower’s implied or express waiver of discrepancies as binding on Lender. Borrower’s acceptance or retention of any documents presented under or in connection with a Letter of Credit (including, but not limited to, originals or
copies of documents sent directly to Borrower) or of any property for which payment is supported by any Letter of Credit shall ratify Lender’s honor of the relevant presentation and absolutely preclude Borrower from raising a defense or claim
against Lender (or any Indemnitee) with respect to such honor. 
 (b) Expiration Date. Except for Evergreen Letters of Credit that
are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph, no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date that is later than the earlier of (i) one year following the date of issuance thereof (or, in the case of any extension of
the expiration date thereof, whether automatic or by amendment, one year after the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit) unless otherwise permitted by Lender (subject to the other provisions
of this Agreement) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date, and Lender shall not be under any obligation to incur Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit having an expiration
date that is later than the Commitment Termination Date. If Borrower so requests in any notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment of an outstanding Letter of Credit), Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a
Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”), provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit shall 

  
 Annex A 












 
permit Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each one-year period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving
prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such one-year period to be agreed upon by
Borrower and Lender at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by Lender, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to Lender for any such extension. 

(c) Reimbursement and Interim Interest. 

(i) If Lender shall make any disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse Lender by paying to Lender
an amount equal to such disbursement in immediately available U.S. dollars, without withholding, deduction, or setoff, not later than 1:00 p.m. prevailing local time in New York, NY on (i) the Business Day that Borrower receives notice of
Lender’s disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. prevailing local time in New York, NY; or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to
such time, with interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for the additional calendar day(s) elapsed; provided that, if such disbursement by Lender is not less than $250,000, Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth in
the Agreement, request in accordance with Section 2.1 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit Advance in an equivalent amount, and to the extent so financed, Borrower’s obligation to make such payment
shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Advance. Lender’s records showing the dates and amounts of payments due and disbursements made shall be presumed correct and complete and, if Borrower does not object within
five Business Days after receiving the information, shall be final. 
 (ii) If Borrower fails to reimburse Lender for any
amount disbursed when due pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) above, then the unpaid amount shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses Lender for such
disbursement, at the Default Rate. 
 (d) Limitations. Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

 (i) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall enjoin or restrain, or purport to
enjoin or restrain, Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or request that Lender refrain from, or, if in the sole discretion of Lender, any Law applicable to Lender shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
Credit in particular, or any such order, judgment or decree, or Law shall impose upon Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve, capital, or liquidity requirement (for which Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost, or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that Lender in good faith deems material to it; 

  
 Annex A 












 (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more
policies of Lender; or 
 (iii) except as otherwise agreed by Lender, such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than
$250,000. 
 Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter
of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit. 

(e) Cash Collateral. 

(i) If Borrower is required to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to this Agreement,
including Section 9.2 of this Agreement, prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower will pay to Lender cash or Cash Equivalents acceptable to Lender (“Cash Collateral”) in an amount equal to 103% of
the Letter of Credit Obligations plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Such Cash Collateral shall be held by Lender and pledged to, and subject to the control of, Lender. Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Lender a security interest in all
such Cash Collateral and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations, whether or not then due. This Agreement, including this paragraph (e)(i), shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable Law. 
 (ii) If any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due
and payable, shall for any reason be outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral within two Business Days therefor in the manner described, and subject to the terms and conditions as set forth, above. 

(iii) From time to time after funds are deposited as Cash Collateral by Borrower, whether before or after the Commitment
Termination Date, Lender may apply such funds then held by it to the payment of any amounts, and in such order as Lender may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by Borrower to Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations
of Borrower and, upon the satisfaction in full of all Letter of Credit Obligations of Borrower, to any other Obligations then due and payable. 

(iv) Neither Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the Cash
Collateral, except that upon the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations (which requires the return of all original Letters of Credit) and the payment of all amounts payable by Borrower to Lender in respect thereof, any remaining Cash
Collateral shall be applied to other Obligations then due and owing and upon payment in full of such Obligations any remaining amount shall be paid to Borrower or as otherwise required by Law. Interest earned, if any, on Cash Collateral shall be
held as additional collateral. 

  
 Annex A 












 (f) Fees and Expenses. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees payable pursuant to
Section 2.4(e)(iii) of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Lender, on demand, such Letter of Credit Fees as are set forth from time to time in Lender’s Fee schedule for letters of credit. Borrower acknowledges that
Lender may modify such Fee schedule at any time and will communicate such new Fee schedule information to Borrower as required in the notice provision hereunder. Such new Fees will be effective 30 days after such notice and shall apply as of such
date to all existing and future Letters of Credit issued by Lender. In the event of any inconsistency between the Fees set forth in this Agreement and the Fees set forth in such Fee schedule, the Fees set forth in this Agreement will control. 

(g) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for payments made with respect to any Letter of Credit
Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and not subject to abatement, reduction, withholding, deduction, deferment, interruption, recoupment, or other right (whether legal, equitable, or otherwise) for any reason whatsoever,
without necessity of presentment, demand, protest, or other formalities. Such obligations of Borrower shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances, including and/or despite any of the following: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other
agreement; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense (including suretyship), or other right that Borrower or any of
its Affiliates may at any time have against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such transferee may be acting), Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or therein, or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or any of its Affiliates and the beneficiary for which the Letter of Credit was procured); 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect, or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

(iv) payment by Lender under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof against presentation of a demand, draft, certificate, or

(h) Lender Discretion. 

(i) For Borrower’s account, Lender may at any time provide in a Letter of Credit or otherwise agree to do or do the
following: 
 (A) send the Letter of Credit via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication
(“SWIFT”) network and bind Borrower directly and as an indemnifier to the rules applicable to SWIFT messages (including, but not limited to, rules obligating Borrower or Lender to pay bank charges); 

(B) assert, waive, or, with any necessary consent from the beneficiary or other person or entity, amend any provision in the
Letter of Credit or applicable practice that primarily concerns issuer operations including, but not limited to, (A) identification of the Letter of Credit in any presentation, (B) marking of the Letter of Credit to reflect a transfer,
payment, or other action, (C) specification of the business days and hours, manner, and place for Lender receiving a presentation, effecting honor, and giving notice of dishonor under the Letter of Credit, (D) duration of the period(s) for
examination, approaching Borrower for a waiver, or sending a notice of refusal, (E) disposition of the beneficiary’s documents after dishonor or while approaching Borrower for a waiver, and (F) replacement of a lost Letter of Credit
or recognition of a successor beneficiary; 
 (C) discount an accepted draft or deferred payment undertaking incurred under
the Letter of Credit, at the request of the beneficiary or other third party, without affecting the amount or due date of Borrower’s obligations to reimburse or pay fees to Lender; 

  
 Annex A 












 (D) select any branch, bank office, or Lender affiliate or any other bank or
financial institution or affiliate for issuing, advising, transferring, confirming, and/or nominating bank or person or entity under the law and practice of the place where it acts (if the Letter of Credit permits advice, transfer, confirmation,
and/or nomination) to act under contract with Lender as a letter of credit processing agent for Lender in Lender’s issuance of the Letter of Credit or processing of demands or in any other action that Lender is required or permitted to take
under the Letter of Credit; 
 (E) accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms
and conditions of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation and disregarding any information or data outside of the face of the documents, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may honor and make
payment upon any presentation that appears on its face to substantially comply with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit, whether or not the Letter of Credit requires strict compliance and without regard to any non-documentary condition in such Letter of Credit (including, but not limited to, honor of a draft that is non-negotiable or informal, honor up to the amount available under
the Letter of Credit of a demand claiming more than that amount, honor of a draft or other document that lacks a reference to the Letter of Credit, honor of a presentation of documents that include inconsistent extraneous data, and allowance of a

as such or waive a requirement for its presentation. 
 (ii) Unless specifically committed to do so in a writing signed by
Lender, Lender is not required to issue any Letter of Credit amendment. If the Letter of Credit may be extended or terminated by a notice given or other action taken by Lender (with or without the passage of time), then, whether or not requested to
do so by Borrower, Lender shall have the right to give such notice or take such action, to fail or refuse to do so, or to fail to retain proof of doing so. If Lender gives such notice or takes such action at Borrower’s request, then Borrower
shall obtain the beneficiary’s acknowledgement and, in the case of Letter of Credit termination, return the original Letter of Credit. If Lender fails or refuses to give notice of non-extension or
termination at Borrower’s timely written request, then Lender’s Letter of Credit Fees shall be calculated as if Lender had given such notice or taken such action. 

  
 Annex A 












 (iii) If the beneficiary or another person or entity claims that Lender has
wrongfully repudiated or dishonored a Letter of Credit, then Lender shall have the right to defend or settle the claim, with or without joining Borrower in any proceeding or negotiation and without regard to whether the claimant asserts that Lender
is precluded from relying on a valid defense. Borrower shall have the obligation to mitigate damages and, if Lender pays or settles a claim then Borrower will reimburse, indemnify, account for any benefits, and cooperate with Lender as subrogee.

 (iv) Lender’s actions in one or more instances shall not waive its right, with or without notice to Borrower, to use
its discretion differently in other similar instances and shall not establish a course of conduct on which Borrower may rely in any other instances under the same or other Letter of Credit. 

(i) Indemnification; Nature of Duties. 

(i) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, Borrower hereby agrees to pay and to protect,
indemnify, and save harmless Lender and each other Indemnitee from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and allocated costs of internal and
external counsel) that Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, (B) the failure of Lender seeking indemnification or of Lender to honor a
demand for payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority, (C) arising from or incurred
in connection with any breach of a representation, warranty, or covenant by Borrower; (D) arising out of or resulting from any suit, action, claim, proceeding, or governmental investigation, pending or threatened, whether based on statute,
regulation, or order, or tort, or contract, or otherwise, before any court or governmental authority (and irrespective of who may be the prevailing party); (E) arising out of or in connection with any payment or action taken in connection with any
Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any action or proceeding seeking to restrain any drawing under a Letter of Credit or to compel or restrain any payment or any other action under a Letter of Credit or this Agreement (and irrespective
of who may be the prevailing party); or (F) arising out of or in connection with any act or omission of any governmental authority or other cause beyond the Indemnitee’s reasonable control; except in each case to the extent such claim,
liability, loss, damage, tax, penalty, interest, judgment, cost, or expense is found to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable matter). 
 (ii) As between Lender and Borrower, Borrower assumes all risks
of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, beneficiaries of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Lender shall not be responsible for:
(A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness, or legal effect of any document issued by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in


  
 Annex A 












 
any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent, or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign
any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully and strictly
with the conditions required in order to demand payment under such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, or otherwise, whether or not
they may be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof or of the
proceeds thereof; (G) the credit of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; and (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Lender. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent
the vesting of any of Lender’s rights or powers hereunder or under this Agreement. 
 (iii) Limitations on
Remedies. 
 (A) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or to expand any waivers, covenants, or indemnities
made by Borrower in favor of Lender in any letter of credit application, reimbursement agreement, or similar document, instrument, or agreement between Borrower and Lender. 

(B) EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, LENDER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO BORROWER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. 
 (C) Borrower must take action to avoid and
reduce the amount of damages claimed against Lender (or any other Indemnitee, as applicable). 
 (D) Borrower’s
aggregate remedies against Lender for honoring a presentation or retaining honored documents in breach of Lender’s obligations to Borrower (whether arising under this Agreement, any other agreement, document, or instrument relating hereto,
applicable letter of credit practice or law, or any other applicable law) are limited to the aggregate amounts paid by Borrower to Lender with respect to the honored presentation. 

(E) In any dispute or litigation between Borrower and Lender, Borrower shall pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees,
expert witness fees, and other expenses of litigation or dispute resolution, unless Borrower obtains a non-appealable award for damages against Lender, as so ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. If
Borrower prevails in an action based on forgery or fraud of the beneficiary or other presenter, this does not relieve Borrower from its obligation to pay Lender’s fees and expenses in contesting the entry or maintenance of injunctive relief.


  
 Annex A 












 (iv) Borrower agrees that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), L/C Issuer will be deemed to have exercised care in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
terms thereof. 
 (j) Letters of Credit Issued for account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or
outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, Borrower shall be obligated as a primary obligor as set forth herein for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit, and irrevocably waives any
defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such Subsidiary. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower,
and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. To the extent that any Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Subsidiary of Borrower, Borrower agrees that (i) such Subsidiary
shall have no rights against Lender, and Borrower shall hold Lender harmless with respect to any claim or other attempted exercise of rights by such Subsidiary against Lender, (ii) Borrower shall be responsible for the obligations in respect of
such Letter of Credit under this Agreement and any application or reimbursement agreement, (iii) Borrower shall have the sole right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to this Agreement and the Letter of Credit, and the
disposition of documents related thereto, and (iv) Borrower shall have all powers and rights in respect of any security arising in connection with the Letter of Credit and the transactions related thereto. Borrower shall, at the request of
Lender, cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver an agreement confirming the terms specified in the immediately preceding sentence and acknowledging that it is bound thereby. 

(k) Rules of Practice. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Lender and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued by it, (i) the
rules of the International Standby Practices, ICC Publication No. 590 (as amended, supplemented, restated, and/or republished from time to time, the “ISP”) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lender shall not be responsible to Borrower for, and Lender’s rights and remedies against Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or
permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Laws or any order of a jurisdiction where Lender, the beneficiary, or any advising, transferring, confirming, or nominated bank or person or entity is located, the
practice stated in the ISP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade, or the Institute of
International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such laws or practice rules. 
 (l)
Survival. The provisions of this Annex A shall survive the payment of the Obligations, any termination of this Agreement, and the assignment of any rights hereunder.

provided however, that if at any time prior to the First Pricing Grid Determination Date all or part of the Initial Draw is advanced, the Applicable Margins shall be set at Pricing Grid Level II. Notwithstanding that Pricing Grid Levels could
include a Total Leverage Ratio that is in violation of the applicable ratio required by the Credit Agreement (e.g., by providing for a Total Leverage Ratio in the table set forth above which is more than the then permitted covenant level set

would have led to the imposition of a higher Applicable Margin for any period than the Applicable Margin applied for that period, then (i) Borrower shall immediately deliver to Lender a corrected Compliance Certificate for that period,
(ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the corrected Compliance Certificate for that period, and (iii) Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable
