The Borrower has requested that the Lenders agree to amend the Credit Agreement in the manner provided herein, and the Lenders whose
signatures appear below, constituting at least the Required Lenders (such term and each other capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein having the meaning assigned to it in the Credit Agreement), are willing so to amend the Credit
Agreement. 
 Accordingly, in consideration of the agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency
and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 A. Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Effective
as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below): 
 (i) the Credit Agreement (excluding, except as set forth below, all Schedules and
Exhibits thereto, each of which shall remain as in effect immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date) is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: ) and to add the bold and
underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: bold and underlined text) as set forth in the pages of the Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto. 

(ii) Schedule I to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to be in the form of Schedule I hereto. 

B. Regarding the Extended Commitments. (i) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, effective as of the
Amendment Effective Date, each Lender that executes and delivers a signature page to this Amendment (an “Extending Lender”) agrees that the Commitment Termination Date with respect to all of its Commitments shall be extended from
February 29, 2020 to June 5, 2021, and that the Maturity Date of any Loans, if any, made by it and outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date shall be extended from February 19, 2021 to June 5, 2022. 






 (ii) To facilitate the transactions to occur on the Amendment Effective Date, on the Amendment
Effective Date the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, through the Administrative Agent, all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Loans and all accrued and unpaid commitment fees under Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement, in each case
to but excluding the Amendment Effective Date. Commitment fees and interest on the Loans (the principal of which shall not be required to be prepaid on the Amendment Effective Date) will accrue for the account of the Lenders (after giving effect to
any assignment effective as of the Amendment Effective Date) from and after the Amendment Effective Date in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. 

C. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that
(i) this Amendment is within its corporate powers and has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action of the Borrower, (ii) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower,
(iii) each of this Amendment, and the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, (iv) as of the date hereof, no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and (v) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, with the same
effect as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of
such earlier date. 
 D. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the first date (the “Amendment Effective
Date”) on which: 
 (i) the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received duly executed counterparts hereof that, when
taken together, bear the authorized signatures of the Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Required Lenders; 
 (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall have received such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the organization, existence and good standing of the Borrower and each other Obligor and the
authorization of this Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel; 
 (iii) the
Administrative Agent shall have received a favorable written opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders dated the Amendment Effective Date) of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, New York counsel for the Borrower,

on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and
(y) as of the Amendment Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (v) the Administrative Agent
shall have received, for the account of each Lender party hereto, an upfront fee equal to the sum of (a) 0.065% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments of such Extending Lender (to the extent held by such Extending Lender immediately prior to the
Amendment Effective Date) and (b) 0.20% of the aggregate amount of any new or increased Commitments of such Lender as of the Amendment Effective Date (it being understood that Commitments assumed by any Lender pursuant to an Assignment and
Assumption that becomes effective on the Amendment Effective Date shall be considered new Commitments pursuant to this clause (b)); and 

(vi) the Administrative Agent shall have received all other amounts invoiced to the Borrower that are due and payable to it, any of its
affiliates or any of the Lenders, including payment or reimbursement of all fees and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) required to be paid or reimbursed by the Borrower in connection with this Amendment. 

E. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair,
constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms,
conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
entitle the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document, and the
representations, warranties and agreements contained herein shall, for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, be deemed to be set forth in the Credit Agreement. Each Obligor agrees that all of its obligations, liabilities and indebtedness under each
Loan Document, including guarantee obligations, shall remain in full force and effect, in accordance with applicable law, on a continuous basis after giving effect to this Amendment. On and 

  
 3 







 
after the effectiveness of this Amendment, any reference to the Credit Agreement contained in the Loan Documents shall mean the Credit Agreement as modified hereby. This Amendment shall not
extinguish any payment obligation outstanding under the Credit Agreement or discharge or release the Lien or priority of any Loan Document or any other security therefor or any guarantee thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a
substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement or instruments guaranteeing or securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently
herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Amendment or any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Loan Party under any Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder.

 F. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by
facsimile or other electronic imaging means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 
 G.
Severability. Any provision of this Amendment held to be ineffective, invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the effectiveness, validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the ineffectiveness,
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

H. Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

I. Headings. The headings of this Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
hereof.

occurring after the Effective Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such
purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall
have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders that whether or not the Borrower may at any time adopt Financial Accounting
Standard No. 159 (or successor standard solely as such successor standard relates to fair valuing liabilities) or accounts for liabilities acquired in an acquisition on a fair value basis pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard No. 141(R) (or
successor standard solely as such successor standard relates to fair valuing liabilities), all determinations of compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be made on the basis that the Borrower has not adopted Financial
Accounting Standard No. 159 (or such successor standard solely as such successor standard relates to fair valuing liabilities) or, in the case of assets or liabilities acquired in an acquisition, Financial Accounting Standard No. 141(R) (or
such successor standard solely as such successor standard relates to fair valuing liabilities); except in each case that for purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants in Section 6.07 after any such adoption, or for any
period ending after any such adoption, Specified Debt 

  
 - 37 - 







 
shall be valued as it is valued under Financial Accounting Standard No. 159 (or successor standard solely as such successor standard relates to fair valuing liabilities) or Financial
Accounting Standard No. 141(R) (or successor standard solely as such successor standard relates to fair valuing liabilities), as applicable. For purposes of calculations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, GAAP will be deemed to treat operating
leases in a manner consistent with the current treatment under GAAP as in effect on the Effective Date, notwithstanding any modification or interpretive changes thereto that may occur hereafter. 

SECTION 1.05. Currencies; Currency Equivalents. 

(a) Currencies Generally. At any time, any reference in the definition of the term “Agreed Foreign Currency” or in any other
provision of this Agreement to the Currency of any particular nation means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name of such Currency is the same as it was on the Effective Date. Except as provided in
Section 2.10(b) and the last sentence of Section 2.17(a), for purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit under the Multicurrency Commitments, together with all other Borrowings and Letters of
Credit under the Multicurrency Commitments then outstanding or to be borrowed at the same time as such Borrowing, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the Multicurrency
Commitments, (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure, (iv) the Multicurrency LC Exposure, (v) the Covered Debt Amount and (vi) the Borrowing Base or the Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment, the outstanding
principal amount of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit that is denominated in any Foreign Currency or the Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of the Foreign Currency of such Borrowing, Letter of Credit or Portfolio Investment, as the case may be, determined as of the date of such Borrowing or Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with the last sentence of the
definition of the term “Interest Period”) or the date of valuation of such Portfolio Investment, as the case may be. Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing or Loan an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple
amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing or Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Foreign Currency). 

(b) Special Provisions Relating to Euro. Each obligation hereunder of any party hereto that is denominated in the National Currency of a
state that is not a Participating Member State on the Effective Date shall, effective from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State, be redenominated in Euro in accordance with the legislation of the European Union
applicable to the European Monetary Union; provided that, if and to the extent that any such legislation provides that any such obligation of any such party payable within such Participating Member State by crediting an account of the
creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or such National Currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or repay such amount either in Euros or in such National Currency. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this
Agreement with respect to an Agreed Foreign Currency of any country that becomes 

  
 - 38 - 







 
a Participating Member State after the date on which such currency becomes an Agreed Foreign Currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis
of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided that, with respect to
any Borrowing denominated in such currency that is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period therefor. 

Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this
Agreement, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time, in consultation with the Borrower, reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to
reflect the introduction or changeover to the Euro in any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the Effective Date; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower and the Lenders with prior notice of the
proposed change with an explanation of such change in sufficient time to permit the Borrower and the Lenders an opportunity to respond to such proposed change 

SECTION 1.06. Treatment of Convertible Debt.  

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document (a) any settlement in respect of Convertible Debt
to the extent made through the delivery of Equity Interests and/or payment of Cash does not constitute a Restricted Payment and (b) the conversion of Convertible Debt, the right of any or all of the holders thereof to trigger and/or settle such
conversion or any triggering and/or settlement thereof or the triggering, exercise or settlement of any rights by any or all of the holders thereof to cause the Borrower to repurchase such Convertible Debt shall not (i) constitute a
“scheduled principal payment” for purposes of clause (a) of the definition of “Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness”, and any cash payment made by the Borrower in respect thereof shall constitute a “regularly scheduled
payment, prepayment or redemption of principal and interest in respect thereof required pursuant to the instruments evidencing such Indebtedness” within the meaning of clause (a) of Section 6.12 or (ii) constitute an event or
condition described in clause (h) of Article VII. 
 ARTICLE II

 SECTION
2.01. The Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein: 
 (a) each Dollar Lender agrees to make
Syndicated Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Dollar
Commitment, (ii) the aggregate Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure (excluding, after the Existing Commitment Termination Date, Non-Extended Loans) of all of the Dollar Lenders exceeding the aggregate Dollar
Commitments or (iii) the total Covered Debt Amount exceeding the Borrowing Base then in effect; and 

  
 - 39 - 







 (b) each Multicurrency Lender agrees to make Syndicated Loans in Dollars and in
Agreed Foreign Currencies to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s

(c) within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Syndicated Loans. 

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Syndicated Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class, Currency
and Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations
hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 

(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.13, each Syndicated Borrowing of a Class shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans or
of Eurocurrency Loans of such Class denominated in a single Currency as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each ABR Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any
domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing (whether Eurocurrency, ABR or Swingline) shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a larger
multiple of $1,000,000; provided that a Syndicated ABR Borrowing of a Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of such Class or that is required to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement of such Class as contemplated by Section 2.05(f). Borrowings of more than one Class, Currency and Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that no more than ten Eurocurrency Borrowings
may be outstanding at the same time. 

  
 - 40 - 







 (d) Limitations on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request (or to elect to convert to or continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing) any Syndicated Loans if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Maturity Date or the Existing Maturity
Date, as applicable, with respect to such Loan. 
 SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. 

(a) Notice by the Borrower. To request a Syndicated Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by

Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 
 (b) Content of Borrowing Requests.
Each telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(c) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amounts of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

  
 - 41 - 







 (d) Failure to Elect. If no election as to the Class of a Syndicated Borrowing is
specified, then the requested Syndicated Borrowing shall be deemed to be under the Multicurrency Commitments. If no election as to the Currency of a Syndicated Borrowing is specified, then the requested Syndicated Borrowing shall be denominated in
Dollars. If no election as to the Type of a Syndicated Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month and, if an Agreed Foreign Currency has been specified, the requested
Syndicated Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency and having an Interest Period of one month. If a Eurocurrency Borrowing is requested but no Interest Period is specified, (i) if the Currency
specified for such Borrowing is Dollars (or if no Currency has been so specified), the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars having an Interest Period of one month’s duration, and (ii) if the Currency
specified for such Borrowing is an Agreed Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans. 

(a) Agreement to Make Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans under the Dollar Commitment or the Multicurrency Commitment to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans of both Classes exceeding the Dollar Equivalent of $50,000,000, (ii) the total Revolving Dollar Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Dollar Commitments, (iii) the total
Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments or (iv) the total Covered Debt Amount exceeding the Borrowing Base then in effect; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to
make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. 

(b) Notice of Swingline Loans by the Borrower. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of such proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which
shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Swingline Loan and whether such Swingline Loan is to be made under the Dollar Commitments or the Multicurrency Commitments. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of
any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a
Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 

  
 - 42 - 







 (c) Participations by Lenders in Swingline Loans. The Swingline Lender may by written
notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, require the Lenders of the applicable Class to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the
Swingline Loans of such Class outstanding. Such notice to the Administrative Agent shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the applicable Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative
Agent will give notice thereof to each applicable Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage, as the case may be, of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above in this paragraph, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency
Percentage, as the case may be, of such Swingline Loan or Loans; provided that no Lender shall be required to purchase a participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) if (x) the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Borrowing at the time such Swingline Loan was made and (y) the Required Lenders of the respective Class shall have so notified the Swingline Lender in writing and shall not have
subsequently determined that the circumstances giving rise to such conditions not being satisfied no longer exist. 
 Subject to the
foregoing, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including
the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments of the respective Class, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply
with its obligation under this Section 2.04(c) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.04(c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the
Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative
Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) and to the Swingline Lender, as their
interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 

  
 - 43 - 







 SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.01, the
Borrower may request the Issuing Bank to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and under either the Dollar Commitments or Multicurrency Commitments, Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or (in the case of
Letters of Credit under the Multicurrency Commitments) in any Agreed Foreign Currency for its own account or the account of any of its Subsidiaries or any Portfolio Company (provided that the Borrower shall remain primarily liable to the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders hereunder for the payment and reimbursement of all amounts payable in respect of such Letter of Credit) in such form as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its reasonable determination and for the benefit of such named
beneficiary or beneficiaries as are specified by the Borrower. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the applicable Commitments up to the aggregate amount available to be drawn thereunder. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative
Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date
of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount and Currency of such Letter of Credit,
whether such Letter of Credit is to be issued under the Dollar Commitments or the Multicurrency Commitments, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such
Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form 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 form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any
Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
 (c) Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be
issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension, (i) the aggregate LC Exposure of the Issuing Bank (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Lenders pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section) shall not exceed $25,000,000,
(ii) the total Revolving Dollar Credit Exposures (excluding, after the Existing Commitment Termination Date, Non-Extended Loans) shall not exceed the aggregate Dollar Commitments, (iii) the total
Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures (excluding, after the Existing Commitment Termination Date, Non-Extended Loans) shall not exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments and (iv) the total Covered
Debt Amount shall not exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect. 

  
 - 44 - 







 (d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, twelve months after such renewal or extension, so long as such renewal or
extension occurs within three months of such then-current expiration date) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the date
that is five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed;
provided further, however, that a Letter of Credit may expire after the Commitment Termination Date, subject to the Borrower’s obligation to cash collateralize such Letter of Credit as provided in the last paragraph of
Section 2.09(a). 
 (e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit of a Class (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit
increasing the amount thereof) by the Issuing Bank, and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender of such Class, and each Lender of such Class hereby acquires from
the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage, as the case may be, of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including
any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the applicable Commitments; provided that no Lender shall be required to purchase a participation in a
Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) if (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Borrowing at the time such Letter of Credit was issued and (y) the Required Lenders of the
respective Class shall have so notified the Issuing Bank in writing and shall not have subsequently determined that the circumstances giving rise to such conditions not being satisfied no longer exist. 

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender of a Class hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage, as the case may be, of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank in respect of Letters of Credit of
such Class promptly upon the request of the Issuing Bank at any time from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the
Borrower for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender
(and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to 

  
 - 45 - 







 the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative
Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to the next following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse
the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not
relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 To the extent that the Borrower fails to deposit in the Letter
of Credit Collateral Account the amount required by the last paragraph of Section 2.09(a), as and when so required, in respect of any outstanding Letters of Credit of any Class, each Lender of such Class hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, such Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage, as the case may be, of such amount, promptly upon the request
of the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, and in any event on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date. Such payment shall be made in the same Currency or Currencies of the applicable amount or amounts that the Borrower is required to
deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in respect of any such outstanding Letter of Credit to pursuant to Section 2.05(k). Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment
shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent
shall hold such amount in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05(k). Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (f) below, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may
appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to deposit cash collateral as required by the last paragraph of Section 2.09(a). 

The obligation of the Lenders to fund participations acquired pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) with respect to Letters of Credit that expire
after the Commitment Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.05(d) shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date, subject to compliance with the previous paragraph. 

(f) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall
reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower
receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received
prior to such time; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than 

  
 - 46 - 







 $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with
Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with a Syndicated ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan of the respective Class in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment
shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Syndicated ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. 
 If the Borrower fails to make such payment
when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency
Percentage, as the case may be, thereof. 
 (g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse
LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever
and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein or any other agreement, application or document or instrument relating to this Agreement, (ii) any
draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) payment in good faith by the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank against presentation
of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit and (v) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Lender Party (including the Issuing Bank), the Administrative Agent or any other Person
or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or
responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any
error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages or any other type of special or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that
are caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that: 

  
 - 47 - 







 (i) the Issuing Bank may 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, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on
their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 
 (ii) the Issuing Bank shall have the
right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit; and 

(iii) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the Issuing Bank when determining whether drafts
and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing). 

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents
purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and
whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the applicable
Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date
that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Syndicated ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement within two Business Days following the date when due
pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then the provisions of Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of
payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 

(j) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower
shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From 

  
 - 48 - 







 and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the
rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to
any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all
the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(k) Cash Collateralization. If the Borrower shall be required to post collateral for LC Exposure (or, in the case of Section 2.19,
the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure) pursuant to Section 2.09(a), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.10(c), Section 2.19 or the last paragraph of Article VII, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into a segregated collateral
account or accounts (herein, collectively, the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) in the name and under the dominion and control of the Administrative Agent Cash denominated in the Currency of the Letter of Credit under which
such LC Exposure (or, in the case of Section 2.19, the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure) arises in an amount equal to the amount required under Section 2.09(a), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.10(c), Section 2.19 or the last
paragraph of Article VII, as applicable. Such deposit (as well as any amounts deposited pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.05(e)) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral in the first instance for the LC Exposure (or, in
the case of Section 2.19, the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure) under this Agreement and thereafter for the payment of the Secured Obligations under the Guarantee and Security Agreement, and for these purposes the Borrower hereby grants a
security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and in any financial assets (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) or other property held therein. If the Borrower is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.19, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as promptly as practicable to the extent that (i) after giving
effect to such return, there shall not be any LC Exposure that is not fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral, (ii) at the time of such return,
no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) after giving effect to such return, the Borrower shall remain in compliance with its obligations to post cash collateral for LC Exposure hereunder. 

(l) Reallocation of Participations. On the Existing Commitment Termination Date, if any LC Exposure exists at such time: 

(i) all of such LC Exposure held by the Non-Extending Lenders shall be reallocated
among the remaining Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Dollar Percentages or Applicable Multicurrency Percentages, as the case may be, but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Revolving Credit Exposures (other than Loans of
Non-Extending Lenders) does not exceed the total of all Extending Lenders’ Commitments, (y) no Extending Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure will exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and
(z) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; and 

  
 - 49 - 







 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrower shall on the Existing Commitment Termination Date prepay Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(a) in an amount such that after giving effect thereto, all LC Exposure of the
Non-Extending Lenders could be reallocated in accordance with clause (i) above (whereupon such LC Exposure shall be so reallocated regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are
satisfied at such time). 
 SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in
Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request;
provided that Syndicated ABR Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. 

(b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR
Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Nothing in this Section 2.06(b) shall relieve any Lender of its obligation to fulfill its
commitments hereunder, and shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 - 50 - 







 SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. 

(a) Elections by the Borrower for Borrowings. Subject to Section 2.03(d), the Loans constituting each Borrowing initially shall be
of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing
of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided, however, that (i) a
Borrowing of a Class may only be continued or converted into a Borrowing of the same Class, (ii) a Borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be continued as, or converted to, a Borrowing in a different Currency, (iii) no
Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may be continued if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures (excluding, after the Existing Commitment Termination Date, the Non-Extended Loans) would exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments, and (iv) a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may not be converted to a Borrowing of a different Type. The
Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders of the respective Class holding the Loans constituting such
Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may specify a different Interest Period for
any portion of a Borrowing consisting of Non-Extended Loans (or specify that any portion of a Borrowing consisting on Non-Extended Loans be an ABR Borrowing) to the
extent that the Interest Period to be specified by the Borrower for any portion of such Borrowing consisting of Non-Extended Loans would expire after the Existing Commitment Termination Date. This
Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) Notice of Elections. To make an
election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly (but no later than the close of business on the date of such
request) by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 

(c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information
in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing (including the Class) to which such Interest Election Request
applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv)
of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 

  
 - 51 - 







 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d). 

(d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative
Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e)
Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is
repaid as provided herein, (i) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Eurocurrency Borrowing of the same Class having an Interest Period of one month, and
(ii) if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing no outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing may have an Interest Period of more than one
month’s duration. 
 SECTION 2.08. Termination, Reduction or Increase of the Commitments. 

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments of each Class shall terminate on the Commitment
Termination Date; provided that the Commitments held by the Non-Extending Lenders shall terminate on the Existing Commitment Termination Date. 

(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any
Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be in an amount that is $5,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of the Commitments of any Class) or a larger multiple of $5,000,000 in excess
thereof and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments of either Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Syndicated Loans of such Class in accordance with Section 2.10, the total
Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class would exceed the total Commitments of such Class. 

  
 - 52 - 







 (c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the
effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of a Class delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the
Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 
 (d)
Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders of such Class in accordance
with their respective Commitments. 
 (e) Increase of the Commitments. 

(i) Requests for Increase by Borrower. The Borrower may, at any time, propose that the Commitments hereunder of a
Class be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”) by notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying each existing Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or each additional lender
(each an “Assuming Lender”) that shall have agreed to an additional Commitment of such Class and the date on which such increase is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”), which shall be a Business
Day at least three Business Days after delivery of such notice and at least 30 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided that: 

(A) the minimum amount of the Commitment of any Assuming Lender, and the minimum amount of the increase of the Commitment of
any Increasing Lender, as part of such Commitment Increase shall be $25,000,000 or a larger multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that this clause (A) shall not be a condition to a Commitment Increase following any
Lender’s delivery of a GBSA Notice; 
 (B) immediately after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, the total
Commitments of all of the Lenders hereunder shall not exceed $750,000,000; 
 (C) each Assuming Lender shall be consented to
by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and no Non-Extending Lender may participate in any Commitment Increase
unless in connection therewith such Lender shall have agreed to become an “Extending Lender” under this Agreement; 

  
 - 53 - 







 (D) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Commitment Increase
Date or shall result from the proposed Commitment Increase; and 
 (E) the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or by reference to a Material Adverse Change, which representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all
respects) on and as of the Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date). 

For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be obligated to agree to an additional Commitment requested by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.08(e). 
 (ii) Effectiveness of Commitment Increase by Borrower. Each Assuming Lender, if any, shall become
a Lender hereunder as of such Commitment Increase Date and the Commitment of the respective Class of any Increasing Lender and such Assuming Lender shall be increased as of such Commitment Increase Date; provided that: 

(x) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Commitment
Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating that each of the applicable conditions to such Commitment Increase set forth in the
foregoing paragraph (i) has been satisfied; and 
 (y) each Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender shall have delivered to
the Administrative Agent, on or prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent), an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Lender shall, effective as of such Commitment Increase Date, undertake a Commitment or an increase of Commitment in each case of the respective Class, duly executed by such
Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent. 
 Promptly following
satisfaction of such conditions, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Class (including any Assuming Lenders) thereof and of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase Date by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system.


  
 - 54 - 







 (iii) Recordation into Register. Upon its receipt of an agreement referred
to in clause (ii)(y) above executed by an Assuming Lender or any Increasing Lender, together with the certificate referred to in clause (ii)(x) above, the Administrative Agent shall, if such agreement has been completed, (x) accept
such agreement, (y) record the information contained therein in the Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. 

(iv) Adjustments of Borrowings upon Effectiveness of Increase. On the Commitment Increase Date, the Borrower shall
(A) prepay the outstanding Syndicated Loans (if any) of the affected Class in full, (B) simultaneously borrow new Syndicated Loans of such Class hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment; provided that with respect
to subclauses (A) and (B), (x) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Lender
and (y) the existing Lenders, the Increasing Lenders (if any) and the Assuming Lenders (if any) shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the
Syndicated Loans of such Class are held ratably by the Lenders of such Class in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Class of such Lenders (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) and (C) pay to the Lenders
of such Class the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.15 as a result of any such prepayment. Concurrently therewith, the Lenders of such Class shall be deemed to have adjusted their participation interests in any outstanding
Letters of Credit and outstanding Swingline Loans of such Class so that such interests are held ratably in accordance with their Commitments of such Class as so increased. 

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Repayment. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Loans as follows: 

(i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender of each Class, on each Repayment Date in respect of such
Lender, an amount (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.09(g)) equal to 1/12th of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Syndicated Loans of such Class outstanding on the Existing Commitment Termination Date (with
respect to the Non-Extending Lenders) or the Commitment Termination Date (with respect to the Extending Lenders) (in each case, after giving effect to any prepayment of Syndicated Loans of such Class on
the Existing Commitment Termination Date or the Commitment Termination Date, as the case may be); provided that all Non-Extended Loans and Extended Loans outstanding on the Existing Maturity Date or the
Maturity Date, respectively, shall be repaid on the Existing Maturity Date or the Maturity Date, respectively; 
 (ii) to the
Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan of each Class, on each of the following days: (a) the Existing Commitment Termination Date, (b) the Commitment Termination Date and (c) the first date after such
Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least ten Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Syndicated Borrowing of such Class is made, the Borrower shall
repay all Swingline Loans of such Class then outstanding. 

  
 - 55 - 







 In addition, not less than five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the
Borrower shall deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 2.05(k)) Cash in an amount equal to 102% of the undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding on the close of business on the date that is
five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, such deposit to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for the LC Exposure under this Agreement in respect of the undrawn portion of such Letters of Credit. 

(b) Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the
Borrowing or Borrowings of such Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such selection not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days
before the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings of a Class shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. If the Borrower
fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other Borrowings of such Class in
the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Syndicated Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such
Borrowing. 
 (c) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts and Currency of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(d) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record
(i) the amount and Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount and Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender of such Class hereunder and (iii) the amount and Currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(e) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall
be prima facie evidence, absent obvious error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 - 56 - 







 (f) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such
form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 (g)
Application of Prepayments. Any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10 of a Borrowing of any Class following the Existing Commitment Termination Date shall be applied ratably as between the then outstanding Non-Extended Loans and Extended Loans, and shall reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(i) or (ii) in the manner specified by the
Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment (or, if no such specification is made therein, such prepayment shall reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Borrowings of such Class ratably based on the amount of such scheduled
repayments). 
 SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in
part without any penalty or premium (other than amounts payable under Section 2.15, if any), subject to the requirements of this Section. 

(b) Mandatory Prepayments due to Changes in Exchange Rates. 

(i) Determination of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date and, in addition, promptly upon the receipt by the
Administrative Agent of a Currency Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding principal amount of any
Loan that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Loan, determined as of such Quarterly Date or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice received by the
Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, as of such Business Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise received, as of the first Business Day after such Currency Valuation Notice
is received. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Multicurrency Lenders and the Borrower thereof. 

  
 - 57 - 







 (ii) Prepayment of Multicurrency Loans. If, on the date of such
determination, the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Commitments as then in effect, the Borrower shall, if requested by the Required Multicurrency Lenders (through the
Administrative Agent), prepay the Multicurrency Loans and Multicurrency Swingline Loans (and/or provide cover for Multicurrency LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.05(k)) within 15 Business Days following the Borrower’s receipt of such
request in such amounts as shall be necessary so that after giving effect thereto the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure does not exceed the Multicurrency Commitments. 

For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation Notice” means a notice given by the Required Multicurrency Lenders to the Administrative Agent
stating that such notice is a “Currency Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to make more than one
valuation determination pursuant to Currency Valuation Notices within any rolling one-month period. 

Any prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied, first, to Multicurrency Swingline Loans outstanding, second, to
Syndicated Multicurrency Loans outstanding and third, as cover for Multicurrency LC Exposure. 
 (c) Mandatory Prepayments or Cover
due to Borrowing Base Deficiency. In the event that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist, the Borrower shall prepay Loans (and provide cover for Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.05(k)) or reduce Other Covered
Indebtedness in such amounts as shall be necessary so that such Borrowing Base Deficiency is immediately cured; provided that (i) the aggregate amount of such prepayment of Loans (and cover for Letters of Credit) shall be at least equal
to the Revolving Credit Exposure’s ratable share of the aggregate prepayment, cover and reduction of Other Covered Indebtedness and (ii) if, within five Business Days after delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating such
Borrowing Base Deficiency (and/or at such other times as the Borrower has knowledge of such Borrowing Base Deficiency), the Borrower shall present the Administrative Agent a plan reasonably feasible in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to
enable such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be cured within 30 Business Days (which 30-Business Day period shall include the five Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or
reduction shall not be required to be effected immediately but may be effected in accordance with such plan (with such modifications as the Borrower may reasonably determine and as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), so long as
such Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within such 30-Business Day period. 
 (d) Mandatory
Prepayments due to Non-Approved Change in Investment Policies. In the event that at any time the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall amend, change, supplement or otherwise modify the Investment
Policies in a manner that is, or that could reasonably be expected to be, material and adverse to the Lenders (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without the Borrower or such Subsidiary 

  
 - 58 - 







 having obtained the consent referred to in clause (b) of the proviso to the definition of Investment
Policies), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans then outstanding in full, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder; provided that no prepayment shall be required to the extent
such amendment, change, supplement or modification is mandated by applicable law, rule or regulation (including the provisions of the Investment Company Act applicable to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries). 

(e) Notices, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline
Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before (or, in
the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, four Business Days before) the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment
or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of
each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional
notice of termination of the Commitments of a Class as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of
any such notice relating to a Syndicated Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the affected Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing
of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Syndicated Borrowing of a Class shall be applied ratably to the Loans of such
Class included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.09(b). 

SECTION 2.11. Fees. 
 (a)
Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.375% on the average daily unused amount of the Dollar Commitment and the
Multicurrency Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender during the period from and including the Original Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the date such Commitment terminates and the Commitment Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees
shall be payable within one Business Day after each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of the date the Commitments of the respective Class terminate and the Commitment Termination Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Commitment of any Class of a Lender shall be deemed to be used
to the extent of the outstanding Syndicated Loans and LC Exposure of such Class of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Class of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose). 

  
 - 59 - 







 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.19(a)(iii), the Borrower
agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit of each Class of Commitments, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Margin applicable to interest on Eurocurrency Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure of such Class (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and
including the Original Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure of such Class, and (ii) to the
Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Original Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date,
provided that (x) all such fees with respect to the Letters of Credit of a Class shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments of such Class terminate, (y) any such fees accruing after the date on which such
Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand and (z) for the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, with respect to any Letter of Credit that expires after the Commitment Termination Date as provided in Section 2.05(d), the Borrower
shall continue to pay the fronting and other fees specified in Section 2.11(b)(ii) above following the Commitment Termination Date for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this
paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). 
 (c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d)
Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of
commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent obvious error.

 SECTION 2.12. Interest. 

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan denominated in Dollars) shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin provided that in the case of Swingline Loans such interest rate shall be reduced by the commitment fee rate payable pursuant to Section 2.11(a). 

(b) Eurocurrency Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted
LIBO Rate for the related Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) [Reserved] 

(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by
the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the
case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above, (ii) in the case of overdue interest on any principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such
principal as provided above and (iii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 

(e) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan in the
Currency in which such Loan is denominated and, in the case of Syndicated Loans, upon the Maturity Date or Existing Maturity Date, as applicable, with respect to such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to
paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Syndicated ABR Loan prior to the Commitment Termination Date), accrued interest on
the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (f) Computation. All interest
hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and (ii) interest computed by
reference to the CDOR Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The
applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 - 61 - 







 SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest
Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing of a Class (the Currency of such Borrowing herein called the “Affected Currency”): 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected
Currency for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the affected Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Syndicated Borrowing
to, or the continuation of any Syndicated Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective and, if the Affected Currency is Dollars, such Syndicated Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or
converted to, a Syndicated ABR Borrowing, (ii) if the Affected Currency is Dollars and any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as a Syndicated ABR Borrowing and (iii) if
the Affected Currency is a Foreign Currency, any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective. 

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, 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, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable
thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or
expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

  
 - 62 - 







 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of
making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of
Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender,
Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital and
Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any,
regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if
any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that
which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies
of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), by an amount deemed to be material by such Lender or Issuing Bank, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary
to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 - 63 - 







 SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor,
(c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.10(e) and is revoked in
accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(b) of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the Borrower
shall compensate each affected Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (excluding in any event, loss of anticipated profits). In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be
deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of: 
 (i) the amount of interest
that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan denominated in the Currency of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest
Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal
to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Currency for such Interest Period, over 
 (ii) the amount of interest that such
Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits denominated in such
Currency from other banks in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period. 
 Payment under this Section shall be made upon request of a
Lender delivered not later than five Business Days following the payment, conversion, or failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay that gives rise to a claim under this Section accompanied by a certificate of such Lender setting forth the
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof. 

  
 - 64 - 







 SECTION 2.16. Taxes. 

(a) Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank. 

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be
made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from
any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(c) Payment of Other Taxes. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or
at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (d) Indemnification by the
Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, 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 the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall
severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for
such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register
and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such 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 any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 

  
 - 65 - 







 (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (g) Status of
Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences,
the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying
that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is
legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
(x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to 

  
 - 66 - 







 the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from,
or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a
“10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are
claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including 

  
 - 67 - 







 as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the
amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date and any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code.

 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party 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 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party 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
such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party
the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the
indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.
This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or
any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

(j) FATCA. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date of the Amendment, the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loan Document as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 

  
 - 68 - 







 SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 
 (a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made
by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 2:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent,
be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, except as otherwise expressly
provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03, which shall be made directly to
the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day
that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. 

All amounts owing under this Agreement (including commitment fees, payments required under Section 2.14, and payments required under
Section 2.15 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, but not including principal of, and interest on, any Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.15, which are payable in
such Foreign Currency) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) are payable in Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), the unpaid portion of such Loan shall, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date thereof (or, if such due date is a day
other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such principal shall be payable on demand; and if the
Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan that is not denominated in Dollars, such interest shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such interest shall be payable on demand. 

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to
pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees of a Class then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees of such Class then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees of such Class then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements of such Class then due hereunder, ratably among
the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements of such Class then due to such parties. 

  
 - 69 - 







 (c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each
Borrowing of a Class shall be made from the Lenders of such Class, each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.11 shall be made for account of the Lenders of the applicable Class, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the
Commitments of a Class under Section 2.08 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders of such Class, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of a
Class shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders of such Class according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be
included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders of such Class pro rata in
accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders of such Class pro
rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans of such Class then due and payable to the respective Lenders. 
 (d)
Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, or
participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans, and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, and accrued interest thereon
then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans, and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, of other
Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans, and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored
to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. 

  
 - 70 - 







 (e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
required to) assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the
Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 

(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(c), 2.05(e), 2.06(b) or 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to
satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.18.
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any cost or expense not required to be reimbursed by the Borrower and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender
(as provided in Section 9.02(d)), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Dollar Commitment or Multicurrency Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and the


  
 - 71 - 







 Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent
of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to
be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 SECTION 2.19.
Defaulting Lender Provisions. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a
Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 
 (i) Waivers and Amendments. The Commitment and
Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders. Required Dollar Lenders and Required Multicurrency Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby
shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof. 

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(d)
shall not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but shall instead be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing
Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(k); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of
which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit
account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure
with respect to such Defaulting Lender with 

  
 - 72 - 







 respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.05(k); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing
Bank or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as
a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting
Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded
its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of,
and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting
Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans of the applicable Class are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Dollar Commitments or Multicurrency Commitments,
as applicable, without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant
to this Section 2.19(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii) Certain Fees. 

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee under Section 2.11(a) for any period during which that
Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive participation fees under Section 2.11(b) in respect of its
participations in Letters of Credit of either Class for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Dollar Percentage or Applicable Multicurrency Percentage, as applicable, of the
stated amount of the Letters of Credit of such Class for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(k). 

  
 - 73 - 







 (C) With respect to any participation fee in respect of Letters of Credit of
either Class not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender of such Class that portion of any such
fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit of such Class that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s or the Swingline
Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure of each Class shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Dollar Percentages or Applicable
Multicurrency Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment of the applicable Class), as applicable, but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of
such reallocation, and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure or Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure, as applicable, of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed
such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Dollar Commitment or Multicurrency Commitment, as applicable. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a
Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 (v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If
the reallocation described in Section 2.19(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an
amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure on account of such Defaulting Lender and (y) second, cash collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure on account of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.05(k). 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline
Lender and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set
forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the applicable Class or Classes of the other Lenders or take
such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans of each applicable Class to be held pro rata by the Lenders in
accordance with the relative amounts of their 

  
 - 74 - 







 Dollar Commitments or Multicurrency Commitments, as applicable, (without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv)),
whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and
provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party
hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long
as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, in each case of the Class or
Classes with respect to which such Defaulting Lender participates, to the extent that the reallocation described in Section 2.19(a)(iv) cannot be effected or cash collateral has not been provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section
2.19(a)(v).

or affecting the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) the Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with
respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 - 86 - 







 SECTION 5.06. Books and Records; Inspection and Audit Rights. 

(a) Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep, or cause to be kept,
books of record and account in accordance with GAAP. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect
its properties during normal business hours, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as
reasonably requested; provided that the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall be entitled to have its representatives and advisors present during any inspection of its books and records. 

(b) Audit Rights. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by Administrative
Agent (including any consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by the Administrative Agent) to conduct evaluations and appraisals of the Borrower’s computation of the Borrowing Base and the assets included in the Borrowing Base,

the Borrower shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses for more than one such evaluation or appraisal during any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any subsequent evaluation or appraisal
during such calendar year. The Borrower also agrees to modify or adjust the computation of the Borrowing Base to the extent required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders as a result of any such evaluation or appraisal; provided
that if the Borrower demonstrates that such evaluation or appraisal is incorrect, the Borrower shall be permitted to re-adjust its computation of the Borrowing Base. 

SECTION 5.07. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules,
regulations, including all Environmental Laws, and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material

Investment Company Act (including, without limiting the foregoing, Section 18(a)(1)(A) and any applicable “asset coverage” maintenance requirement) and any applicable rules, regulations or orders issued by the SEC thereunder, and all
applicable Anti-Terrorism Laws, Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. 

  
 - 87 - 







 SECTION 5.08. Certain Obligations Respecting Subsidiaries; Further Assurances. 

(a) New Subsidiaries. In the event that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall form or acquire any new Subsidiary (other than an
Immaterial Subsidiary or a Financing Subsidiary for so long as such entity remains an Immaterial Subsidiary or a Financing Subsidiary), such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor and the Borrower will cause the entire Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied by and with respect to such Subsidiary. 
 (b) Further Assurances. (i) The Borrower will,
and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, take such action from time to time as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent to effectuate the purposes and objectives of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, take such action from time to time as may be required under any applicable law, or that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, to
cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied, all at the expense of the Obligors. The Borrower also agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents. 

(ii) To the extent not otherwise publicly filed with the SEC, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with a copy
of any amendment, supplement or modification to its Investment Policies as soon as practicable after its adoption. 
 (iii) On or prior to
the date that is 30 days after the Effective Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), (x) each of BCIC-MBS, LLC, BKC ARS Blocker, Inc. and BKC ASW Blocker, Inc.
(collectively, the “Blockers”) shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor (or be dissolved or become designated as an Immaterial Subsidiary in accordance with the terms hereof) and (y) the Borrower shall cause the entire Collateral
and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied by and with respect to each of the Blockers (unless dissolved or designated as an Immaterial Subsidiary in accordance with the terms hereof). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, each of the Blockers shall for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base be treated as though such Blocker was a Subsidiary Guarantor on and as of the Effective Date ((x) unless an Event of Default under clause (r) of Article VII
shall have occurred or (y) until such time as any such Blocker is dissolved, is designated as an Immaterial Subsidiary or otherwise ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder after becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the preceding
sentence)). 
 SECTION 5.09. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans only for general corporate purposes of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the acquisition and funding (either directly or through one or more wholly-owned Subsidiaries) of secured and unsecured leveraged loans, mezzanine loans, high-yield securities, convertible securities,
preferred stock, common stock and other Portfolio Investments and as otherwise specified in this Agreement; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility as to the use of any of such proceeds. No
part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used in violation of applicable law or, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any Margin Stock. Margin Stock shall be purchased by


  
 - 88 - 







 
the Obligors only with the proceeds of Indebtedness not directly or indirectly secured by Margin Stock, or with the proceeds of equity capital of the Borrower. The Borrower will not request any
Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and the Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, directly or indirectly, the proceeds of any Borrowing or any
Letter of Credit (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Terrorism Laws,
(ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country or (iii) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions
applicable to any party hereto. 
 SECTION 5.10. Status of RIC and BDC. The Borrower shall at all times maintain its status as a RIC
under the Code, and as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act. 
 SECTION 5.11. Investment
Policies. The Borrower shall at all times be in compliance with its Investment Policies, except to the extent that the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 5.12. Portfolio Valuation and Diversification, Etc. 

(a) Industry Classification Groups. For purposes of this Agreement, the Borrower shall in its reasonable determination assign each
Portfolio Investment to an Industry Classification Group. To the extent that any Portfolio Investment is not correlated with the risks of other Portfolio Investments in an Industry Classification Group established by Moody’s, such Portfolio
Investment may be assigned by the Borrower to the Industry Classification Group that is most closely correlated to such Portfolio Investment. In the absence of any correlation, the Borrower shall be permitted, upon notice to the Administrative Agent
and each Lender to create up to three additional industry classification groups for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (b) Portfolio
Valuation, Etc. 
 (i) Settlement Date Basis. Solely for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base, all
determinations of whether an investment is to be included as a Portfolio Investment shall be determined on a settlement-date basis (meaning that any investment that has been purchased will not be treated as a Portfolio Investment until such purchase
has settled, and any Portfolio Investment which has been sold will not be excluded as a Portfolio Investment until such sale has settled); provided that no such investment shall be included as a Portfolio Investment unless it has been paid
for in full. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph (b)(i) is not intended to require the Borrower to reflect investment transactions on a settlement-date basis in any financial statements or books of record or other documents required to be
prepared in accordance with GAAP if doing so would cause such financial statements, books of record or other documents to fail to be in accordance with GAAP. 

  
 - 89 - 







 (ii) Determination of Values. The Borrower will conduct reviews of the
value to be assigned to each of its Portfolio Investment as follows: 
 (A) Quoted Investments—External Review.
With respect to each Portfolio Investment that is a Quoted Investment, the Borrower shall, not less frequently than once each calendar month, determine the market value of such Portfolio Investments in accordance with its Investment Policies;
provided that such determinations shall be required not less frequently than once each calendar week at any time that, and for so long as, Quoted Investments compose at least 10% of the Borrowing Base. 

(B) Unquoted Investments—External Review. With respect to each Portfolio Investment that is an Unquoted Investment,
the Borrower shall request an Approved Third-Party Appraiser to assist the Board of Directors of the Borrower in determining the fair market value of such Portfolio Investment, as at the last day of each fiscal quarter; provided that the
Board of Directors of the Borrower shall be permitted to determine the fair market value of such Portfolio Investments without the assistance of any Approved Third-Party Appraiser for Portfolio Investments representing no more than 10% of the
Borrowing Base at any time of determination; provided further, that the Value of any Unquoted Investment acquired during a fiscal quarter shall be deemed to be no more than the cost of such Unquoted Investment until such time as the
fair market value of such Unquoted Investment is determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this sub-clause (B) as at the last day of such fiscal quarter or, as applicable, fiscal year.

 (C) Internal Review. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct internal reviews of all
Portfolio Investments in accordance with the Borrower’s valuation policies and procedures, as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The meetings
shall generally take place once a week at the Borrower’s discretion, but in no event fewer than forty (40) times per fiscal year. Such internal reviews shall take into account any material events of which the Borrower has knowledge that
affect the value of the Portfolio Investments. If the value of any Portfolio Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) is lower than the value of such Portfolio Investment as most recently
determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(A) or (B), such lower value shall be deemed to be the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment for purposes hereof. 

(D) Failure to Determine Values. If the Borrower shall fail to determine the value of any Portfolio Investment as at any
date pursuant to the requirements of the foregoing sub-clauses (A) or (B), then the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment as at such date shall be deemed to be zero. 

  
 - 90 - 







 (c) Scheduled Testing of Values. 

(i) On a specific date to be determined following the end of each fiscal quarter to be reasonably agreed by the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, but in no case within thirty (30) days prior to the last day of any fiscal quarter (each such date, a “Valuation Testing Date”), the Administrative Agent, through an independent valuation provider
selected by the Administrative Agent (the “Independent Valuation Provider”), will test the values as of such Valuation Testing Date determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) above of those Portfolio Investments included in the
Borrowing Base selected by the Administrative Agent. The fair value of such Portfolio Investments tested as of any Valuation Testing Date shall be equal to or greater than the Tested Amount (as defined below). 

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Tested Amount” shall be equal to the greater of: (A) an amount
equal to (1) 125% of the Covered Debt Amount (as of the applicable Valuation Testing Date) minus (2) the sum of the values of all Quoted Investments included in the Borrowing Base (as of the applicable Valuation Testing Date) and (B) 10%
of the aggregate value of all Unquoted Investments included in the Borrowing Base; provided, however, in no event shall more than 25% of the aggregate value of the Unquoted Investments in the Borrowing Base be tested by the Independent
Valuation Provider in respect of any applicable Valuation Testing Date (or, if clause (B) applies, 10%, or as near thereto as reasonably practicable). 

(iii) With respect to any Portfolio Investment, if the value of such Portfolio Investment determined by the Borrower pursuant
to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is not more than the lesser of (A) 110% of the midpoint of the valuation range provided by the Independent Valuation Provider and (B) five (5) points more than the midpoint of the valuation range (expressed as a
percent of par) provided by the Independent Valuation Provider (provided that the value of such Portfolio Investment is customarily quoted as a percentage of par, otherwise this clause (B) shall not be applicable), then the value for such
Portfolio Investment determined by the Borrower in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall continue to be used as the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement. If the value of any Portfolio Investment determined by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 5.12(b)(ii) is greater than the lesser of the values set forth in clause (iii)(A) and (B) (to the extent applicable), then for such Portfolio Investment, the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement shall become the lesser of
(x) the highest value of the valuation range provided by the Independent Valuation Provider, (y) five (5) points more than the midpoint of the valuation range (expressed as a percent of par) provided by the Independent Valuation Provider
(provided that the value of such Portfolio Investment is customarily quoted as a percentage of par, otherwise this clause (y) shall not be applicable) and (z) 110% of the midpoint of the valuation range provided by the Independent Valuation
Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, any values determined by the Independent Valuation Provider pursuant to this Section 5.12(c) or Section 5.12(d) shall be used solely for purposes of determining the


  
 - 91 - 







 
“Value” of a Portfolio Investment under this Agreement and shall not be required to be used by the Borrower for any other purposes, including, without limitation, the delivery of
financial statements or determinations of the fair value of any asset as required under Accounting Standards Codification 820 and the Investment Company Act. 

(d) Supplemental Testing of Values. 

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, individually or at the request of the Required Lenders, shall at
any time have the right to request, upon reasonable notice to the Borrower and at reasonable times and intervals, any Portfolio Investment included in the Borrowing Base with a value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) to be
independently tested by the Independent Valuation Provider. There shall be no limit on the number of such tests that may be requested by the Administrative Agent. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not be
responsible for the reimbursement of any fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Valuation Provider incurred pursuant to Section 5.12(d) in an aggregate amount in excess of the IVP Supplemental Cap in any
12-month period. 
 (ii) If (A) the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 5.12(b)(ii) is less than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider, then the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall continue to be used as the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement
and (B) the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is greater than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider and the difference between such values is: (x) less than 5% of the value determined by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall continue to be the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement; (y) between 5% and 20% of the value determined by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment for purposes of this Agreement shall become the average of the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) and the value
determined by such Independent Valuation Provider; and (z) greater than 20% of the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall retain an additional third-party appraiser
to conduct a valuation of such Portfolio Investment and, upon the completion of such appraisal, the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment for purposes of this Agreement shall become the average of the three valuations (with the average of
the Independent Valuation Provider’s value and the Borrower’s value to be used as the “Value” until the third value is obtained). 

(iii) The Value of any Portfolio Investment for which the Independent Valuation Provider’s value is used shall be the
midpoint of the range (if any) determined by the Independent Valuation Provider. 

  
 - 92 - 







 (e) Generally Applicable Valuation Provisions. 

(i) The Independent Valuation Provider shall apply a recognized valuation methodology that is commonly accepted in the
Borrower’s industry for valuing Portfolio Investments of the type being valued and held by the Obligors. Other procedures relating to the valuation will be reasonably agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 

(ii) All valuations shall be on a settlement date basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the Value of any Portfolio Investment
determined in accordance with this Section 5.12 shall be the Value of such Portfolio Investment for purposes of this Agreement until a new Value for such Portfolio Investment is subsequently determined in good faith in accordance with this
Section 5.12. 
 (iii) The values determined by the Independent Valuation Provider shall be deemed to be
“Information” hereunder and subject to Section 9.13 hereof. 
 (iv) All tests by the Independent Valuation
Provider shall be conducted in a manner not disruptive to the business of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of its receipt of the final results of any such test promptly upon its receipt thereof (but shall not provide
a copy of such results to any Obligor). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of such results and the related report to the Borrower or any Lender promptly upon the Borrower’s or such Lender’s
request. 
 (f) Diversification Requirements. The Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries (other than Financing Subsidiaries
that are exempt from the provisions of the Code applicable to RIC’s), subject to applicable grace periods set forth in the Code, to comply with the portfolio diversification and similar requirements set forth in the Code applicable to
RIC’s. 
 SECTION 5.13. Calculation of Borrowing Base. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Borrowing Base”
shall be determined, as at any date of determination, as the sum of the Advance Rates of the Value of each Portfolio Investment (excluding any cash held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(k)); provided that: 

(a) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments of all issuers in a
consolidated group of corporations or other entities, in accordance with GAAP, that exceeds 6% of the aggregate Value of all Portfolio Investments in the Collateral Pool shall be 50% of the Advance Rate otherwise applicable; 

(b) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments of all issuers in a
consolidated group of corporations or other entities, exceeding 12% of the aggregate Value of all Portfolio Investments in the Collateral Pool shall be 0%; 

  
 - 93 - 







 (c) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the
Portfolio Investments attributable to common equity, warrants, Investments that are not Performing and Portfolio Investments where less than 2/3rds of the interest (including accretions and “pay-in-kind” interest) for the current monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual period (as applicable) is payable in cash, exceeding 20% of the Borrowing Base shall be 0%; 

(d) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments in any single Industry
Classification Group that exceeds 25% of the aggregate Value of all Portfolio Investments in the Collateral Pool shall be 0%; provided that, with respect to the Portfolio Investments in a single Industry Classification Group from time to time
designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, such 25% figure shall be increased to 30% and, accordingly, only to the extent that the Value for such single Industry Classification Group exceeds 30% of the aggregate Value of all Portfolio
Investments in the Collateral Pool shall the Advance Rate applicable to such excess Value be 0%; 
 (e) no Portfolio
Investment may be included in the Borrowing Base until such time as such Portfolio Investment has been Delivered (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement) to the Collateral Agent, and then only for so long as such Portfolio Investment
continues to be Delivered as contemplated therein; and 
 (f) the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the Value of the
Portfolio Investments attributable to any investment in a Financing Subsidiary shall be 0%. 
 As used herein, the following terms have the following
meanings: 
 “Advance Rate” means, as to any Portfolio Investment and subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 5.13, the following percentages with respect to such Portfolio Investment:

Loan Documents; (b) covenants in documents creating Liens permitted by Section 6.02 prohibiting further Liens on the assets encumbered thereby; (c) customary restrictions contained in leases not subject to a waiver; and (d) any
other agreement that does not restrict in any manner (directly or indirectly) Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents on any Collateral securing the Secured Obligations under the Guarantee and Security Agreement and does not require the direct

as Unsecured 

  
 - 105 -

(b) any material provision of any of the Affiliate Agreements (other than any Permitted Board-Approved Affiliate Transaction),
unless such modification, supplement or waiver is not less favorable to the Borrower than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties.

 ARTICLE VIII 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. 
 The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is 

  
 - 110 - 







 
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of
its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all
its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of
the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as
Administrative Agent. 

  
 - 111 - 







 The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notice in writing to the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in consultation with the
Borrower), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (the
“Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the
Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal
Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice. 
 With effect from the
Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) the Required Lenders shall perform the duties
of the Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly) until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as
provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
retired) Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower
to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement
or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion

in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a
substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). 

  
 - 114 - 







 THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES (AS

exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default,

 - 115 - 







 (b) Amendments to this Agreement. Other than for Commitment Increases effected in
accordance with Section 2.08(e), neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and

 (ii) reduce the principal amount of any
Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon,
or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 

(iv) change Section 2.17(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments, or making of
disbursements, required thereby without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, or 
 (v) change any of the
provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make
any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 provided further that
(x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be and (y) the consent of Lenders holding not less than two-thirds of the Revolving Credit Exposure and unused Commitments (excluding, to the extent that such

 - 116 -

provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class in a manner that does not affect all Classes equally shall be effective against the Lenders of such
Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification. 
 (c) Amendments to
Security Documents; Releases of Liens and Subsidiary Guarantors. No Security Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified, nor may the Liens thereof be spread to secure any additional obligations (including any increase
in Loans hereunder, but excluding (i) any such increase pursuant to a Commitment Increase under Section 2.08(e) to an aggregate amount not greater than $750,000,000 and (ii) Designated Indebtedness and Hedging Agreement Obligations
(as such terms are defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement)) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, and by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that,
(i) without the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall release all or substantially all of the Obligors from their respective obligations under the Security Documents and (ii) without the written consent of each Lender, no
such agreement shall release all or substantially all of the collateral security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the Security Documents, alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the Liens

or release all or substantially all of the guarantors under the Guarantee and Security Agreement from their guarantee obligations thereunder, except that no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (and so
agrees with the Borrower) to direct the Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Security Agreement, to release any Lien covering property (and to release any such guarantor) at any time that (x) such release is permitted under the Guarantee
and Security Agreement or (y) the consent of the Required Lenders or each Lender, as applicable, as provided in this Section 9.02(c) or the consent of such Lenders as provided by Section 9.02(b), in each case, has been obtained.

have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to replace each such Non-Consenting Lender with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.18(b) so long as at the time of such replacement, each such
replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination.

counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and an additional regulatory counsel in each relevant regulatory field, as applicable, for the Determining Party to the extent reasonably requested, and (iv) and all documented costs, expenses, taxes,

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not be responsible for the reimbursement of any fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Valuation Provider incurred pursuant to Section 5.12(d) in an aggregate amount in excess
of $200,000 in any 12-month period (the “IVP Supplemental Cap”). 
 (b)
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (other than Taxes or Other Taxes which shall only be indemnified by the Borrower to the extent
provided in Section 2.16), including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery
of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby,
(ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds 

  
 - 118 - 







 
therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with
the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee
is a party thereto or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way
to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or (ii) a claim brought by the Borrower or any Obligor against such Indemnitee for material breach in
bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, if the Borrower or such Obligor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction. 
 The Borrower shall not be liable to any Indemnitee for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of the Transactions asserted by an Indemnitee against the Borrower or any other Obligor; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not be deemed to impair or affect the Obligations of the Borrower
under the preceding provisions of this subsection. 
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that (i) the Borrower fails to
pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section or (ii) the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Valuation Provider
incurred pursuant to Section 5.12(d) exceed the IVP Supplemental Cap for any 12-month period, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the
case may be (or to the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (ii) above), such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that, in the case of clause (i) above, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon such Lender’s share of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments at
such time. 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

  
 - 119 - 







 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after
written demand therefor. 
 (f) No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Lenders and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this
paragraph, the “Banks”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Obligors, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise
will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Bank, on the one hand, and the Obligors, their stockholders or their Affiliates, on the other. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Banks, on
the one hand, and the Obligors, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Bank has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Obligor, its stockholders or its
Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Bank has advised, is currently advising or will advise any
Obligor, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Obligor except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Bank is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or
fiduciary of any Obligor, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for
making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Bank has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar
duty to any Obligor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. 
 SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.

 (a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

  
 - 120 - 







 (b) Assignments by Lenders. 

(i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one
or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans and LC Exposure at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required
for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment
to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and 
 (C) each of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender. 

(ii) Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans and LC Exposure of a Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans and LC Exposure of such Class of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than U.S. $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of
the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment of any
Class of Commitments or Loans and LC Exposure shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Class of Commitments, Loans and LC
Exposure; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, together with a processing and recordation fee of U.S. $3,500 (which fee shall not be payable in connection with an assignment to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund), for which the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be obligated; 

  
 - 121 - 







 (D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender of the applicable Class,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and 
 (E) no such assignment will be made to any
Defaulting Lender or any of their respective subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender. 

(iii) Effectiveness of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of
a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section. 

(iv) Defaulting Lender Assignments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount
sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full
all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full
pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in the applicable Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes
effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

  
 - 122 - 







 (c) Maintenance of Registers by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Registers” and each individually, a “Register”). The entries in the
Registers shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Registers pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Registers shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective
for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (e) Special Purposes
Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) owned or administered by such Granting Lender,
identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make; provided
that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) the rights of any such SPC shall be derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and such SPC shall be subject to all of the restrictions upon the Granting Lender
herein contained, and (iv) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 (or any other increased costs protection provision), 2.15 or 2.16. Each SPC shall be conclusively presumed to have made arrangements with its Granting
Lender for the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder in a manner which is acceptable to the SPC, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Borrower, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Obligors
shall be entitled to rely upon and deal solely with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans made by or through its SPC. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if,
such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. 

  
 - 123 - 







 Each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement)
that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, in respect of claims arising out of this Agreement; provided that the Granting Lender for
each SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of their inability to institute any such proceeding against its SPC. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section, any SPC may (i) without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its
Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans (but
nothing contained herein shall be construed in derogation of the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans hereunder); provided that neither the consent of the SPC or of any such assignee shall be required for amendments or waivers
hereunder except for those amendments or waivers for which the consent of participants is required under paragraph (f) below, and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis (in the same manner described in Section 9.13(b)) any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 

(f) Participations. Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described
in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were
a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder. 

  
 - 124 - 







 (g) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with paragraphs (e) and (g) of Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender and in the case of a Participant claiming exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, the applicable Lender shall provide the Borrower with satisfactory evidence that the participation is in registered form and shall permit the Borrower to review such register as
reasonably needed for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under applicable laws and regulations. 
 (h) Participant Register.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the 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 Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall 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 absent manifest error, and such 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, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(i) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a
security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(j) No Assignments to the Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or
participate any interest in its Commitments or any Loan or LC Exposure held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender. 

  
 - 125 - 







 (k) No Assignments to Natural Persons. Anything in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in its Commitments or any Loan or LC Exposure held by it hereunder to a natural Person. 

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates
or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and
issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or
incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any
provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent
constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each
of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy or
electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 (b) Electronic Execution
of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form,
each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

  
 - 126 - 







 SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION
9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of
each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff,
(x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19(b) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its
other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in
reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. 
 SECTION 9.09.
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 
 (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by
the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

  
 - 127 - 







 (c) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in
Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

SECTION 9.11. Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign
Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified
Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency
or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the
Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”),
the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on
which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the 

  
 - 128 - 







 
Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section called an “Entitled
Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder
in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby,
as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such
Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred. 
 SECTION
9.12. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in
interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.13. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. 

(a) Treatment of Certain Information. The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other
services may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and the Borrower hereby authorizes each
Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being
understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans,
the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

(b) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (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), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) 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, (f) subject to an

the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, (i) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications; such information to

 SECTION 9.16. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In
of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender which
is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such
liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender party hereto that is an EEA 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 EEA 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 EEA Resolution Authority. 
 SECTION 9.17. German Bank Separation Act. If
any Lender subject to the German Bank Separation Act (any such Lender, a “GBSA Lender”) shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be made in consultation with the Borrower) that, due to the implementation of the
German Act on the Ring-fencing of Risks and for the Recovery and Resolution Planning for Credit Institutions and Financial Groups (Gesetz zur Abschirmung von Risiken und zur Planung der Sanierung und Abwicklung von Kreditinstituten und
Finanzgruppen) of 7 August 2013 (commonly referred to as the German Bank Separation Act (Trennbankengesetz) (the “GBSA”), whether before or after the date hereof, or any corresponding European legislation (such as the proposed
regulation on structural measures improving the resilience of European Union credit institutions) that may amend or replace the GBSA in the future or any regulation thereunder, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in the interpretation by,
any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of the GBSA or any corresponding future European legislation or any regulation thereunder, the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement or the Loans have, or will, become
illegal, prohibited or otherwise unlawful (regardless of whether such illegality, prohibition or unlawfulness could be prevented by transferring such arrangements or Loans to an affiliate or other third party), then, and in any such event, such GBSA
Lender shall give 

  
 - 131 - 







 
written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which written notice shall include a reasonably detailed explanation of such illegality, prohibition or
unlawfulness, including, without limitation, all evidence and calculations used in the determination thereof, a “GBSA Notice”), whereupon (i) all of the obligations owed to such GBSA Lender hereunder and under the Loans shall
become due and payable, and the Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal of such obligations together with accrued interest thereon promptly (and in no event later than the 5th Business Day immediately after the date of such notice) and such
repayment shall not be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.17(c) or 2.17(d) to the extent that there are no outstanding amounts due and payable to the other Lenders at such date and (ii) the Commitments of such GBSA Lender shall
terminate on the fifth Business Day immediately after the date of such GBSA Notice (such date being an “Initial Termination Date”; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to such Initial Termination Date and in
the event the Borrower in good faith reasonably believes there is a mistake, error or omission in the grounds used to determine such illegality, prohibition or unlawfulness under the GBSA or any corresponding future European legislation or any
regulation thereunder, then the Borrower may provide written notice (which written notice shall include a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis of such good faith belief, including, without limitation, all evidence and calculations used in
the determination thereof, a “Consultation Notice”) to that effect, at which point the obligations owed to such GBSA Lender hereunder and under the Loans shall not become due and payable, and the Commitments of such GBSA Lender
shall not terminate, until the Business Day immediately following the tenth Business Day immediately after the date of the GBSA Notice (the period from, and including, the date of the GBSA Notice until such tenth Business Day being the “GBSA
Consultation Period”). In the event the Borrower and such GBSA Lender cannot in good faith reasonably agree during the GBSA Consultation Period whether the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement or the Loans have, or will, become
illegal, prohibited or otherwise unlawful under the GBSA or any corresponding future European legislation or any regulation thereunder, then all of the obligations owed to such GBSA Lender hereunder and under the Loans shall become due and payable,
and the Commitments of such GBSA Lender shall terminate, on the Business Day immediately following the last day of such GBSA Consultation Period. For the avoidance of doubt, during the GBSA Consultation Period, (i) the Commitments and Revolving
Credit Exposure of any GBSA Lender shall be subject to Section 2.19, and the Borrower shall have all rights to replace such GBSA Lender in accordance with Section 2.18(b), in each case, as though such GBSA Lender were a “Defaulting
Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) no GBSA Lender shall be required to fund its pro rata share of any Borrowing. To the extent any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a GBSA Lender’s Loans are
repaid in full pursuant to this Section 9.17, such Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure shall be reallocated as set forth in Section 2.19(a), treating for this purpose such GBSA Lender as a Defaulting Lender.
