in Section 2.2 hereof in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Commitment Amount. 
 (b) Limitation on Borrowings.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Lender shall not be required to advance any Borrowing or make any conversion or continuation hereunder if: 

(i) after giving effect to such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Principal Obligation would exceed the
Commitment Amount or an Event of Default would occur; 
 (ii) an Event of Default or Potential Default exists;
or 
 (iii) the conditions of Section 6 hereof are not satisfied. 

Section 2.2 Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, Lender agrees, on any Business

Loans, the Principal Obligation would not exceed the Commitment Amount. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof and the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow, repay without penalty or
premium, and re-borrow Loans hereunder, during the Availability Period. Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Loan if the interest rate applicable thereto under Section 2.6 hereof would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect with respect to such
Loan. 
 Section 2.3 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Borrowings. 

(a) Request for Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Lender, which notice shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3(a) attached hereto (each, a “Notice of Advance”), which may also be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at
least: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Advances; and (ii) on the same Business Day of the requested date of any Borrowing of Prime Rate Advances. Each telephonic notice by Borrower

 12 









 
If Borrower fails to give a Notice of Continuation or Notice of Conversion when required, that portion of any LIBOR Advance for which no Notice of Continuation or Notice of Conversion was given
shall continue to bear interest, from and after the expiry date of the then current Interest Period as a LIBOR Advance in the manner required hereunder, and with an Interest Period of the same duration as the then prevailing one, until such time as
Borrower shall give Lender a timely Notice of Continuation or Notice of Conversion therefor. Each Notice of Advance, Notice of Continuation or Notice of Conversion, as the case may be, submitted by Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty that the conditions specified in Sections 6 hereof have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Borrowing or interest rate election. 
 (b) Request for Continuations and Conversions of Borrowings. The Loans shall, at Borrower’s request as described herein, be available in multiple Borrowings bearing interest of different

($500,000.00); and (B) any LIBOR Advance, on any Business Day (a “Prime Rate Conversion Date”), to convert such LIBOR Advance to a Prime Rate Advance (provided, however, that Borrower shall, on such Prime Rate
Conversion Date, make the payments required by Sections 2.9(e) and 2.9(f) hereof, if any); in either case, by giving Lender written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3(d)(i) attached hereto (a “Notice of
Conversion”) of such selection no later than 11:00 a.m. at least: (x) two (2) Business Days prior to such LIBOR Conversion Date; or (y) one (1) Business Day prior to such Prime Rate Conversion Date. Each Notice of
Conversion shall be irrevocable and effective upon notification thereof to Lender. 
 (ii) No later than 11:00
a.m. at least (x) two (2) Business Days prior to the termination of an Interest Period related to a LIBOR Advance, Borrower shall give Lender written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.3(d)(ii) attached hereto (the
“Notice of Continuation”) whether it desires to continue such LIBOR Advance. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable and effective upon notification thereof to Lender. 

  
 13 









 (iii) Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Advance may be continued
or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Advance. 
 Section 2.4 Minimum Amounts. Each
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Advances shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000.00 and not less than $500,000.00, and each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Prime Rate Advances shall
be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000.00 and not less than $100,000.00; provided, however, that a Prime Rate Advance may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the portion of the Loans which is not a LIBOR
Advance.

Lender, at Borrower’s expense, shall deliver the proceeds of the initial Loans on the Closing Date in immediately available funds to an account designated by Borrower.

 (a) Interest Rate;
Interest Payment Dates. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) of this Section 2.5: (i) each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum
equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) each Prime Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Accrued and unpaid interest (A) on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, and (B) on any obligation of Borrower
hereunder on which Borrower is in default shall be due and payable at any time and from time to time following such default upon demand by Lender. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after
judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. All such interest payments when due shall be automatically debited from the Designated Account. 

(b) Default Interest. If any principal of, or interest on, the Loans is not paid when due, then (in lieu of the interest rate
provided in Section 2.6(a) hereof) such past due principal and interest on the Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate, from the date it was due to, but excluding, the date it is paid. If any other Event of Default hereunder shall occur,
then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a) hereof) the principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or is
waived. 
 (c) Determination of Rate. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing shall become effective,
without prior notice to Borrower, automatically as of the opening of business of Lender on the date of said change. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Advances upon determination of such interest rate. The
determination of the LIBOR Rate by Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Prime Rate Advances are outstanding, Lender shall notify Borrower of any change in Lender’s Prime Rate promptly following the
public announcement of such change. 

  
 14 









 (d) Timing of Interest. Interest on the Loans and any portion thereof shall commence
to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal of the Loans by Lender, consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.6, notwithstanding whether Borrower received the
benefit of the Loans as of such date and even if the Loans are held in escrow pursuant to the terms of any escrow arrangement or agreement. With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such
time as the repayment has been received in federal or other immediately available funds by Lender. 
 (e) No Setoff,
Deductions, etc. All payments hereunder shall be made without any deduction, abatement, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever, the rights to which are specifically waived by Borrower.

 Section 2.9 Payments; Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments; Breakage. 

(a) Payments. The entire unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date
as required under Section 2.8 hereof. All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations under this Agreement by Borrower to or for the account of Lender shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff by Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Lender at Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date such
payment is due. Funds received after 11:00 a.m. shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by Lender on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. If
any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. All
payments made on the Obligations shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following manner: (a) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including Attorney Costs) arising under the terms hereof; (b) second,
against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; (c) third, against all principal due and owing on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; and (d) fourth, to all other amounts
constituting any portion of the Obligations.

shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment. If such written notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the
date specified therein. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Advance shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Sections 2.9(e) and 2.9(f). 

(c) Interest Rate Not Ascertainable, etc. In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent
manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on Borrower) that on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate, by reason of changes affecting the London interbank market, or Lender’s position therein, (a) deposits in U.S. dollars are not
being offered to banks in the relevant interbank market for the applicable Interest Period of any LIBOR Advance or (b) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, then in such event, Lender shall give telephonic or
written notice to Borrower of such determination. Until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, Lender shall not be required to make or maintain a LIBOR Advance and the
alternative rate of interest offered under this Agreement shall apply or, if no such rate is offered, the rate of interest shall be determined by Lender in its sole discretion. 

(d) Illegality. In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final,
conclusive and binding on Borrower) at any time that compliance by Lender in good faith with any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, or any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental
Authority, prohibits or restrains the making or continuance of any LIBOR Advance, then, in any such event, Lender shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower of such determination, whereupon: (i) Borrower’s right to request a LIBOR
Advance shall be immediately suspended, and (ii) that portion of the Loans bearing interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall automatically and immediately convert to a Prime Rate Advance, and shall be subject to Section 2.9(f). 

(e) Increased Costs. If, by reason of the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of
imposition or increase of reserve requirements or regulations regarding capital adequacy) in or in the interpretation of any Legal Requirement, or the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental or
quasi-governmental authority exercising supervisory authority over Lender or its holding company or their activities (whether or not having the force of law), (i) Lender or its holding company or Lending Office shall be subject to any tax, duty
or other charge with respect to any portion 

  
 16 









 
of the Loans, or the basis of taxation of payments to Lender or its holding company or Lending Office of the principal of or interest on any portion of the Loans shall change (except for changes
in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Lender or its holding company or Lending Office, imposed by the jurisdiction in which Lender’s principal office or its holding company’s principal office or its Lending Office is located);
(ii) any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, deposit insurance or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, Lender or its Lending Office shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting any portion of the Loans shall be imposed on Lender or its Lending Office or the secondary Eurodollar market; or (iii) Lender or
its holding company or Lending Office is required to increase the amount of capital required to be maintained or the rate of return on capital to Lender, or its holding company or Lending Office, is reduced, and as a result of any of the foregoing
there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of making, funding or maintaining any portion of the Loans, or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by Lender or its holding company or Lending Office, or in the rate of
return to Lender or its holding company or Lending Office, then Borrower shall from time to time, upon written notice from and demand by Lender pay to Lender within five (5) Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender against such increased cost or diminished return (but provided that Lender is also charging such additional amounts to other borrowers similarly situated as Borrower). A certificate as to the amount
required to compensate Lender, submitted to Borrower by Lender, shall, except for manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. The provisions of this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and cancellation of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or
similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and
directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a Change in Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 

(f) Loss Compensation. Borrower shall compensate Lender, upon its written request (which request shall, absent manifest error, be
final, conclusive and binding upon Borrower), for all actual losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by Lender on funds borrowed by it to make or carry any LIBOR Advance to the extent not recovered by
Lender in connection with the re-employment of such funds), which Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason a conversion to a LIBOR Advance does not occur on the date specified therefore in the relevant Notice of Continuation or Conversion, as
the case may be, or (ii) if any repayment (or conversion) of a LIBOR Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period whether, in the case of repayment, such repayment is voluntary or occurs for any other
reason including demand, or whether, in the case of conversion, such conversion occurs for any reason specified in Sections 2.9(d) or 2.9(e). The provisions of this Section 2.9(f) shall survive repayment of the Loans and the cancellation of
this Agreement. 

  
 17

or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any LIBOR Advance; (b) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate as its Lending
Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Prime Rate Advance and (c) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to Borrower. In such event, Lender shall continue to hold the Note, if any,
evidencing its Loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of the Loans in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions Section 2.4 hereof.

 Section 2.11 Ranking of Loans, Scope of Recourse. The Obligations of Borrower shall be senior obligations of
Borrower which Borrower hereby agrees to repay upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to be a release, waiver, discharge or impairment of
this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, or shall preclude Lender from seeking to exercise its rights hereunder. 

Section 2.12 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by Borrower solely (a) to repurchase and redeem
the Equity Interests of Borrower from its equityholders and (b) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Lender shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to Borrower’s use of the

(b) Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender an unused commitment fee on the average daily amount by which the
Commitment Amount exceeds the outstanding balance of the Loans, commencing from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date, at the rate of 0.50% per annum, payable in arrears on the fifth (5th) Business Day of the month immediately following
each quarterly period commencing from the date hereof and, if earlier, on the Maturity Date (the “Unused Commitment Fee”). Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that the Unused Commitment Fee payable hereunder is a bona fide
unused commitment fee and is intended as reasonable compensation to Lender for committing to make funds available to Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes. 
 Section 2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest with respect to the Loans shall be made by Lender on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days
(including the first day, but excluding the last day) in the period for which such interest is payable; provided, however, that if such computation shall cause the amount of interest payable hereunder to exceed the Maximum Rate, all
computations of interest shall be made upon the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. Computations of fees hereunder shall be made by Lender on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day, but
excluding the last day) for the period calculated. 

  
 18 









 Section 2.15 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such
payments, then: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) Lender receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions; and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subparagraph (a) immediately above,
Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority (except to the extent such penalties and interest have arisen as a result of Lender’s failure to pay such amounts in a timely manner). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to Borrower by Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as
practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Lender 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 Lender. 
 (e) Tax

 Section 7.2 Remedies. 

(a) General. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender may at any time thereafter: (i) demand
payment and declare the principal of, and all interest then accrued on, the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable with interest, advances, out-of-pocket costs and Attorney Costs
(including those for appellate proceedings), without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of 

  
 32 









 
intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and/or
(ii) exercise any right, privilege, or power set forth herein and in any Loan Document; and/or (iii) without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, or otherwise
provided under or pursuant to any Legal Requirement or agreement. 
 (b) Certain Further Rights. If an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right of set-off) and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or
relating to Borrower’s Obligations, all rights and remedies of under any applicable law. 
 (c) Lender; Cumulative
Rights. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered
by, or applicable to, any of them, as the case may be, or at law or in equity, may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Loans shall be declared due and payable. Any such actions taken by Lender
shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without
impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein, or by statutes or in the other Loan Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that no right or remedy
hereunder is exclusive of any other right or remedy or remedies, and that each and every such right or remedy shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder, under the Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, all rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted
all of its remedies and all Obligations hereunder have been paid in full. 
 (d) Crediting of Monies Recovered. Any
amounts recovered from Borrower or any other Person after an Event of Default shall be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Obligations and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order,
priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine. 
 (e) No Duty to Mitigate Damages. Other than
in respect of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender shall not be required to do any act whatsoever or exercise any diligence whatsoever to mitigate any damages if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing hereunder.

 (f) No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement, warranty, representation or covenant
contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document applicable to it shall be breached by Borrower and thereafter waived by Lender, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach
hereunder. The failure or delay of Lender to require performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not affect its right to require performance of such provision unless and until such performance has been
waived in writing by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof. 

  
 33 









 (g) IMMEDIATE DEMAND FOR PAYMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, in the event that any Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) shall have occurred, the principal of, and all interest on, the Obligations shall thereupon become due and payable concurrently therewith, without any further action
by Lender, and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 8.1 Amendments. Neither this Agreement
nor any other Loan Document, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower on the
other hand. 
 Section 8.2 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by law or equity,
Lender and any assignee of Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower 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 by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, Lender or such assignee to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the Obligations owing to Lender or
such assignee, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not Lender or such assignee shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Lender and any such
assignee agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such setoff and application made by Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 

Section 8.3 Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all
other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall
extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand. Subject to the terms of
the Loan Documents, Lender (pursuant to the terms hereof) and Borrower may from time to time enter into agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or the rights of Lender or Borrower hereunder, or may grant waivers or consents
to a departure from the due performance of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder. 

  
 34 









 Section 8.4 Payment of Expenses. Borrower agrees: (i) to pay or reimburse
Lender for all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of
the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, all
Attorney Costs; and (ii) to pay or reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses (except for Attorney Costs incurred if Borrower shall prevail in a finally adjudicated litigation) incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted
enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any
legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including, without limitation, all Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, and fees and taxes related thereto, and other
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by Lender, in each case at such times as are reasonable. All amounts due under this Section 8.4 shall be payable within
ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the repayment of all Obligations. 
 Section 8.5 Indemnification by Borrower. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless Lender and its respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (i) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any
Indemnitee by any Person relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower; (ii) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of
action that may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Obligations) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, any predecessor loan documents, the Loans, the use or
contemplated use of the proceeds of the Loans, or the relationship of Borrower and Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or
related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clauses (i) or (ii) above; and (iv) any and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation,
Attorney Costs) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim,
demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, whether or not arising out of the negligence of an Indemnitee, and whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding; provided
that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim caused by its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee, or for any claim caused by Lender’s breach
of its obligations under the Loan Documents (and in such event only if Borrower shall prevail in any such finally adjudicated litigation). No Indemnitee shall have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 8.5 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand
therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the repayment of all Obligations.

 37 









 Section 8.9 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Borrower hereby submits for
itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in New York County, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof. Borrower consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought
in such courts and Borrower waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or
claim the same. 
 Section 8.10 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had
never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement,
unless such continued effectiveness of this Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein. If any provision of this Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any
provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. 

Section 8.11 Entirety. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements
and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 
 Section 8.12 Successors and
Assigns. 
 (a) In General; Borrower Assignment, etc. 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, except that Borrower not may assign or otherwise transfer any of Borrower’s rights or Obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of Lender and Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 8.12. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignment; Participations. Lender may assign without the consent of
Borrower (except as provided in the last sentence hereof), to any of Lender’s Affiliates, or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or one or more banks or other entities, or all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement and the Loan
Documents. In the event of an assignment of all of its rights, Lender may transfer the Note to the assignee. In the event of an assignment of a portion of its rights under the Note, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a new note(s) to the order of the
assignee in an amount equal to the principal amount assigned to the assignee and a new note(s) to the order of Lender in an amount equal to the principal amount retained by Lender (collectively, the “New Notes”). Such


  
 38 









 
New Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Note, shall be dated the effective date of the assignment and otherwise shall be substantially identical
to the Note. Upon receipt of the New Notes from Lender, Borrower shall execute such New Notes and, at the reasonable expense of Lender, promptly deliver such New Notes to Lender. Upon receipt of the executed New Notes from Borrower, Lender shall
return the Note(s) to Borrower. Lender and the assignee shall make all appropriate adjustments in payments under this Agreement and the Note for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. In the event of an assignment of all
or any portion of its rights hereunder, Lender may transfer and deliver all or any of the property then held by it as security for Borrower’s Obligations hereunder to the assignee and the assignee shall thereupon become vested with all the
powers and rights herein given to Lender with respect thereto. After any such assignment or transfer, Lender shall be forever relieved and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility in the matter with respect to the property transferred,
and Lender shall retain all rights and powers hereby given with respect to property not so transferred. Lender may, without the prior consent of Borrower, sell participations to any of Lender’s Affiliates or the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, or one or more banks or other entities, in or to all or a portion of its rights under the Note; provided, however, that in such case Lender shall remain the holder of this Agreement and the Note and accordingly Borrower shall
continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or proposed participation,
disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or proposed participant any Information relating to Borrower furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower, provided, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or
proposed assignee or proposed participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Information related to Borrower received by it from Lender as provided in Section 8.18 hereof. 

Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to secure obligations of Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 Section 8.13 Maximum Interest, No Usury. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the
Obligations any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal
and treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency
exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate;
provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of 

  
 39 









 
existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in
such event, Lender shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. 
 Section 8.14 Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Agreement. 

Section 8.15 Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

Section 8.16 Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. 

Section 8.17 Credit Verification Reports. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the right to obtain, and will obtain,
credit reports regarding Borrower, from various credit agencies (the “Credit Reports”), in connection with its due diligence (i) in entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Documents, and
(ii) on an on-going basis during the term hereof. Borrower authorizes and permits Lender to undertake, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, such due diligence and obtain any such Credit Reports. Such Credit Reports shall be obtained at
Lender’s expense. 
 Section 8.18 Confidentiality. Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed: (a) to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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 (and, in
respect thereof, Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to so notify Borrower of any such request within ten (10) days of receipt by Lender of such request, it being understood and agreed that the failure by Lender to so notify Borrower shall
not constitute a breach by Lender hereunder); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (and, in respect thereof, Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to so notify Borrower of
its receipt of a subpoena or other similar legal notice within ten (10) days of such receipt by Lender, it being understood and agreed that the failure by Lender to so notify Borrower shall not constitute a breach by Lender hereunder);
(d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.18, to: (i) pursuant to Section 8.12(b) hereof, any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any Swap Contract or
other 

  
 40 









 
credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower; (g) with the consent of Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information: (x) becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.18 or (y) becomes available to Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 8.18, “Information” means all
information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Person. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality
of Information as provided in this Section 8.18 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would
accord to its own confidential information. 
 Section 8.19 Construction; Conflict with Other Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges
that it and its counsel have reviewed and revised the Agreement and the Loan Documents, and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendments or exhibits thereto. To the extent the terms of this Agreement conflict with the terms of any other Loan Document to which Borrower is a party, the terms hereof shall govern, provided
that, nothing herein shall limit the terms of any other Loan Document to the extent such terms are more detailed than the terms hereof or otherwise add additional provisions which are not expressly set forth otherwise herein. 

Section 8.20 Further Assurances. Lender and Borrower shall, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed,
acknowledged and delivered, such supplements hereto and such further instruments as may reasonably be required for carrying out the intention of or facilitating the performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other documents,
agreements, certificates and instruments to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound in connection with this Agreement. 

Section 8.21 Treatment of Certain Information. Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other
services may be offered or provided to Borrower (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by Lender or by one or more Affiliates of Lender, and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to share any information delivered to Lender by Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Affiliate of Lender. Lender hereby agrees to provide notice to Borrower when it shares such information.
