 Agreements 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by each of the parties, Credit Parties,
Lenders and Administrative Agent hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I. 

DEFINITIONS AND ACCOUNTING TERMS 
 Section 1.1 Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the terms defined above shall have the meanings set forth therein and the following terms shall have the meanings set forth on
Appendix I (unless otherwise indicated, such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined). 
 Section 1.2 Computation of Time Periods. In this Agreement, with respect to the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means
“from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding”. 

Section 1.3 Accounting Terms; Changes in GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all accounting terms used
herein shall be interpreted, and all financial statements and certificates and reports as to financial matters required to be delivered to the Lenders hereunder shall (unless otherwise disclosed to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in
writing at the time of delivery thereof) be prepared, in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with those used in the preparation of the latest financial statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders hereunder. All
calculations made for the purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement shall (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) be made by application of GAAP applied on a basis consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual or
quarterly financial statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.6 most recently delivered prior to or concurrently with such calculations. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the
computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth herein, and either Borrower or the Requisite Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to
preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders); provided 

  
 2 








 
that, until so amended, (a) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein, and (b) Borrower shall provide to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after
giving effect to such change in GAAP. 
 Section 1.4 Miscellaneous. Article, Section, Schedule, and Exhibit
references are to Articles and Sections of and Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. All references to instruments, documents, contracts, and agreements are references to such instruments, documents, contracts, and
agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented, and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified. The words “hereof”, “herein”, and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this
Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “including” means “including, without limitation,”. Paragraph, article and/or section headings have been inserted
in this Agreement as a matter of convenience for reference only and it is agreed that such paragraph and/or headings are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE II. 

CREDIT FACILITIES 
 Section 2.1 Commitments. 
 (a) Maximum Commitment. Subject to
the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of the Loans available to the Borrower in Dollars during the
Availability Period in accordance with this Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 hereof provided, however, (i) with regard to each Lender individually, the sum of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Loans shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Commitment, which is set forth in Schedule I attached hereto, (ii) with regard to the Lenders collectively, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the
Advances made hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all amounts applied to refinance the loans and obligations under the DIP Agreement) shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment, (iii) in no event shall any Advance be made
hereunder which would cause the aggregate Advances to be made hereunder to be in excess of the Borrowing Availability which then exists, and (iv) the Lenders shall not be required to make more than five advances hereunder (and each of such
advances shall be made in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof). Upon any Lender funding its entire Commitment in accordance with the provisions hereof, such Lender will have no further commitment to fund Loans hereunder. The failure of
any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made
by such other Lender). Amounts repaid or prepaid on any Loan may not be reborrowed. 
 (b) Each Lender shall make each Loan to
be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, and the


  
 3 








 
Administrative Agent shall promptly credit and/or remit the amounts so received to an account as directed by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on
such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met or waived in accordance herewith, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall only be required to advance funds to the Borrower with respect to a Loan to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall have received such funds from the Lenders.

 (d) To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopier, a duly completed and executed
Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent and each Lender three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or four (4) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing if the Borrowing Request is received after
1:00 p.m. New York City time, by Administrative Agent or any Lender). Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with the foregoing provisions of Section 2.1: 

(i) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing; 
 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) the
location and number of Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed; and 
 (iv) with respect to the First
Advance, that the conditions set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 have been satisfied and with respect to the Second Advance, Third Advance, Fourth Advance and Fifth Advance that the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 have
been satisfied, in each case, as of the date of the notice. 
 (e) Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in
accordance with this Section 2.1, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof. 

Section 2.2 Loans. Subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein (including without limitation, the provisions
set forth in Section 2.1 hereof), the Loans shall be advanced to Borrower as follows: 
 (i) on the Closing Date, an
initial advance of a Loan in an amount of up to $15,000,000.00 provided that the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and 3.2 (other than the condition set forth in Section 3.2(f)) have been satisfied (“First
Advance”); 
 (ii) after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the Availability Period, a second advance
under the Loan in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of a Borrowing Request and (y) the remaining amount of Borrowing Availability provided that the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied
(“Second Advance”); 
 (iii) after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the Availability Period, a
third advance under the Loan in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of a Borrowing Request and (y) the remaining amount of Borrowing Availability provided that the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 have been
satisfied (“Third Advance”); 

  
 4 








 (iv) after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the Availability Period, a fourth
advance under the Loan in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of a Borrowing Request and (y) the remaining amount of Borrowing Availability provided that the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied
(“Fourth Advance”); and 
 (v) after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the Availability Period, a
fifth advance under the Loan in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of a Borrowing Request and (y) the remaining amount of Borrowing Availability provided that the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 have been
satisfied (“Fifth Advance”). 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from the Closing Date through and including
the first anniversary thereof, each Lender agrees that if a Credit Party’s bankruptcy estate has allowed but unpaid administrative expense claims, the Borrower shall be permitted to request an Advance, to the extent any Advance has not been
previously funded, to pay such claims, and the Lenders shall fund any such Advance, notwithstanding that the condition set forth in Section 3.2(b) is not satisfied with respect to such Advance, but only to the extent that the
failure to satisfy such condition is due to the existence of a Default or Event of Default arising pursuant to Sections 7.1(a), (d) or (t) or pursuant to Section 7.1(f) to the extent resulting from the
entry or obtaining of an order with respect to any Credit Party’s bankruptcy estate that causes an unpaid administrative expense claim to be an allowed but unpaid administrative expense claim; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that in no
event shall the Lenders be required to fund any such Advance if the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(a), (c), (d) and (e) are not satisfied with respect thereto.

Section 2.3 Funding Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent shall have no Commitments (to make Loans)
in its capacity as Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent’s requirement to make Loans (from the Loan proceeds received from the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be limited to the funds that it receives from the
Lenders (to fund such Loans). 
 Section 2.4 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, the unpaid principal
amount of each Loan of such Lender and all other Obligations on the Maturity Date (or sooner in accordance with the provisions hereof). All payments or repayments of Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall be made in Dollars.

 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of
the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 

  
 5 








 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder; (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder; and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts
maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded in the absence of manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In the event of a conflict between records maintained by any Lender
and the records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
 (e) Any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that Loans 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) in the form of Exhibit E. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest
thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.6) 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 as signs). 
 Section 2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay (i) the Administrative Agent an
annual administrative fee (the “Administrative Fee”) as set forth and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, and (ii) the Lenders a closing fee (the “Closing Fee”)
as set forth and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lenders Fee Letter. The Administrative Fee and the Closing Fee each shall be earned in full on the Closing Date and are nonrefundable. Neither the Administrative Fee nor the Closing
Fee shall in any way limit Borrower’s obligations to pay any other fee, or reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for any cost or expense, under the Loan Documents. 

Section 2.6 Interest. 
 (a) The Loans shall bear interest at the Borrower’s election, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as follows: 
 (i) at a rate per annum equal to nine and three quarters percent (9.75%), payable in cash in accordance with Section 2.6(c) hereof; or 

(ii) at a rate per annum equal to nine and three quarters percent (9.75%) which shall be paid in kind and capitalized (and thereby
added to principal, which shall thereafter accrue interest) on the last day of each fiscal quarter (“PIK Interest”); provided that for purposes of calculating Borrowing Availability and the amount of unfunded Commitments,
capitalized PIK Interest shall not reduce the amount of Borrowing Availability, the Total Commitment, the Total Commitment or the amount of the Lenders’ respective Commitments. 

  
 6 








 The Borrower must elect the form of interest payment with respect to each Interest Period by
delivering a written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each Interest Period which notice shall be irrevocable. In the absence of such an election for any Interest Period,
interest on the Loans shall be payable according to the election for the previous Interest Period; provided, however, subject to Section 2.6(b), at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
may not elect PIK Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.6(a), the Borrower may file materials with the SEC stating its intention regarding the election of the form of interest provided, that such filing
shall not constitute notice unless a copy of such filing is delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected PIK Interest for the Interest Period
beginning on the Closing Date. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date that an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing (including, without limitation, at any time during an Interest Period), at the request of the Requisite Lenders (which such request may be made by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Requisite Lenders),
(i) all outstanding Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 11.75%, per annum (or 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Obligations as provided in
Section 2.6(a)(i)) (the “Default Rate”) and (ii) all interest accrued and accruing shall be payable in cash on demand. 
 (c) Accrued interest on the Loans pursuant to Section 2.6(a) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.6(a); provided that
(i) interest accrued at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall
be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. 
 (d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and in shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

Section 2.7 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. 

(b) At its option, the Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the unfunded Commitments;
provided that each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. 
 (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.7(b) at least three (3) 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 Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by
the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be irrevocable, provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, such notice may 

  
 7 








 
be revoked upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, if the election to terminate or reduce the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.7 was conditioned on a refinancing and
such refinancing is not consummated. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

Section 2.8 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (a) Optional Payments. 
 (i) Subject to Section 2.8(a)(ii)
below, at any time and from time to time, the Borrower, at its option, may repay the Obligations, in whole or in part. Each such repayment shall include all accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of the Obligations being repaid (including, but
not limited to, outstanding PIK Interest) through the Repayment Date and the Repayment Premium due in connection with such repayment pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(v) below; provided that each partial repayment shall be in an amount that is
an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations. 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in Sections 2.8(a)(i) and 2.8(a)(v) to the contrary, if at any time within the twelve
(12) months following the Closing Date, the Borrower, prepays the Obligations, in whole, but not in part (including but not limited to in connection with any refinancing of the Obligations), in addition to repayment of 100% of the principal
amount of the Obligations plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, any outstanding PIK Interest), through the Repayment Date, the Borrower shall pay the Applicable Premium calculated as of such Repayment Date (a
“Make-Whole Prepayment Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment in full of the Obligations prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date whether or not such
prepayment is (x) optional by the Borrower, (y) occurs as a result of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.8(c), 2.8(d), 2.8(e), 2.8(f) or 2.8(g), or (z) occurs pursuant to or following an
acceleration of the Obligations as set forth in Sections 7.2 or 7.3 including, but not limited to, as a result of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lender’s exercise of their rights and remedies following the occurrence of an
Event of Default or during a Debtor Relief Law proceeding. 
 (iii) If the Borrower elects to repay the Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.8(a), at least five (5) days prior to the Repayment Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) but not more than sixty (60) days before the Repayment Date,
the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which writing may be by electronic communication in accordance with Section 10.2(b)) of the Repayment Date, the principal amount of such Loans to be repaid and the Repayment
Premium or Applicable Premium, and deliver to the Administrative Agent, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Repayment Date, an Officer’s Certificate stating that such repayment will comply with the conditions contained in this
Section 2.8(a). Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Repayments shall be accompanied by any accrued interest due through the Repayment Date to the
extent required by Section 2.6 and any Repayment Premium or Applicable Premium, if applicable. 

  
 8 








 (iv) Once the notice of repayment described in Section 2.8(a)(iii) is mailed,
the Loans to be prepaid become irrevocably due and payable on the Repayment Date and at the Repayment Premium, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Repayment Date; provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may
revoke its notice of repayment if such repayment was conditioned on a refinancing and such refinancing is not consummated. 

(v) In connection with any repayment of the Loans in full or in part (other than a repayment in full pursuant to paragraph (ii) of
Section 2.8(a) in respect to which the Applicable Premium shall apply as provided in such paragraph), the Borrower shall pay a Repayment Premium equal to the percentage of the principal repaid during the following periods: 

 

					
	 	  	Repayment	 
	 Period
	  	Premium	 
		
	 From the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date
	  	 	6	% 
		
	 From the day after the first anniversary of the Closing Date through the second anniversary of the Closing Date
	  	 	5	% 
		
	 At all times from and after the day after the second anniversary of the Closing Date
	  	 	3	% 

 For the avoidance of doubt, the Repayment Premium shall be due in connection with any repayment of the
Obligations in full or in part (other than as provided in Section 2.8(a)(ii)), whether or not such repayment is (x) optional by the Borrower, (y) occurs as a result of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Sections 2.8(c),
2.8(d), 2.8(e), 2.8(f) or 2.8(g), or (z) occurs pursuant to or following an acceleration of the Obligations as set forth in Sections 7.2 or 7.3 including, but not limited to, as a result of the
Administrative Agent’s or the Lender’s exercise of their rights and remedies following the occurrence of an Event of Default or during a Debtor Relief Law proceeding.

 (ii) Not later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from the Disposition of the JV Interests, such Credit Party shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement apply
100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to make repayments of the Obligations, if any are then outstanding, in accordance with Sections 2.8(h) and (i); provided that no such repayment shall be required under this
Section 2.8(c) with respect to any Disposition to the extent no Obligations are then outstanding on the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds. 
 (d) Debt Issuance. Not later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance (including the issuance of any Permitted Subordinated Debt) by any

so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or arise therefrom, the Borrower shall have the option upon written notice stating its intention to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (or by filing materials with

or more Credit Party, to invest or commit to invest such Net Cash Proceeds in investments permitted pursuant to Section 6.7(g) or (k) within six (6) months of receipt thereof, provided that if any amount is so committed

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; 

  
 12 









 (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 London
interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; 

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 reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, or other recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount)
then, upon request of such Lender, or other recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other recipient, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute
discretion) that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
for any such reduction suffered.

necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.9 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days
prior to the date that such Lender, 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 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 180-day period referred to above shall not begin earlier than the date of effectiveness of the Change in Law. 

  
 13 









 Section 2.10 Breakage Payments. In the event of the failure to borrow or prepay
any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (but excluding consequential damages and loss of anticipated profits), if any,
attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal,
interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.9, 2.10 or 2.12, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly
required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction 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 its offices at 520 Madison Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10022,
Attn: Account Officer – Par Petroleum (or to such deposit account as directed by Administrative Agent), except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.9, 2.10, 2.12, 8.8 and 10.4 shall be made directly to the
persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, 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 payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, except as expressly specified otherwise. 

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (subject to the priorities set forth in Section 7.6 in the case of proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or realization
upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies) (i) first, towards payment of either the Applicable Premium or Repayment Premium which is due in connection with any repayment,
(ii) second, towards payment of interest (including, but not limited to, any outstanding PIK Interest) and fees (other than the Applicable Premium or Repayment Premium) then due hereunder, and (iii) third, towards payment of principal then
due hereunder, with all such amounts distributed ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, interest and fees then due to such parties. 

  
 14 









 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Obligations resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon 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 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; 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 to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or
its Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Credit Party 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 such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation. If under
applicable Debtor Relief Law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.11(c) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such
secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured Party is entitled under this Section 2.11(c) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice in writing from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith
and may in its sole discretion, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 greater of
the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.11(c), 2.11(d) or 8.8, then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations
are fully paid.

 Section 2.12 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made
without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Indemnified Taxes; provided that if any Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such
payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) such Credit
Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate accompanied by reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.12 and 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 accompanied by reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and in any event within
thirty (30) days of any such payment being due, by a Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, such Credit Party 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 and the Requisite Lenders. 

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by


  
 16 









 
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments under this Agreement to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such
documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the following portion of this Section 2.12(e)) 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. Each Foreign Lender, on or before the date it becomes a Foreign Lender, shall to the extent it is legally entitled to do so
(i) furnish two copies (which shall be accurate and complete, and originally executed) of either (a) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form), (b) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form),
certifying, in the case of (a) or (b), to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder, or (c), to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for
its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Foreign Lender, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-9 or such other appropriate documentation from
each beneficial owner, together with any information, if any, required to be transmitted with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code or the regulations issued thereunder, to establish that such party
is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such party, and (ii) to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, upon reasonable request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide a new
Form W-8BEN (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or Form W-8IMY (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form to confirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction
in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder, or to establish that such party is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such party; provided that any Foreign Lender that is not
a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code that is relying on the “portfolio interest exception” under Section 881(c) of the Code shall also furnish a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form of
Exhibit H if it is furnishing a Form W-8BEN. Each Foreign Lender that does not furnish Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) represents that, to its knowledge, any Fees paid hereunder are not attributable to services
performed by such Lender in the United States. 
 (f) Any Administrative Agent or Lender that is not a Foreign Lender and is not
an exempt recipient (as defined in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder) shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the date it become a party hereto, and at such
other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower in its reasonable discretion, two U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such party. 

(g) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at
the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably 

  
 17 









 
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their 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 (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 (h) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or an assignee) determines in its reasonable discretion that it has received a
refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12, it shall pay over such refund to
such Credit Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or the Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that such Credit
Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee), agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) within a reasonable time (not to exceed twenty (20) days) after receipt of written notice that the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this Section 2.12(h) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) to make available its Tax Returns or any other information which it deems confidential to the Borrower
or any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Credit Party the payment of which would place such Person in a less favorable net after-tax
position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund had never been paid in the first instance. 

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement 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. 

Section 2.13 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.9, or if the Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.9 or 2.12, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or 

  
 18 









 
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous in any material respect to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender
in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail submitted by such Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.9, or if the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance
with Section 2.13(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, 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 10.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee selected by the Borrower that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.6,
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (assuming for this purpose that the Loans of such
Lender were being prepaid)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); (iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law;
(iv) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent, (v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from
a claim for compensation under Section 2.9 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (vi) any such assignment shall be
accompanied by an assignment of all of such Lender’s Warrants. 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 2.14 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. 
 (i)
Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders. 

(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 Sections 2.11(c) or 7.4 shall be
applied at such time or times as the Requisite Lenders shall instruct the Administrative Agent 

  
 19 









 
(or, in the case of payments to the Administrative Agent, as determined by the Administrative Agent) as follows: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent hereunder; (ii) second, to any other Lender which has made a Covering Advance to fund the Defaulting Lender’s share of any Advance which the Defaulting Lender has failed to fund; (iii) third, as the Borrower
may request (so long as no Default or Event of 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 Requisite Lenders;
(iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Requisite Lenders) and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential
future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; (v) fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by
any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; (vi) sixth, so long as no Default or Event of 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 (vii) seventh, 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 in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its
appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis
prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded. 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 pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to this Agreement for any period during
which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee to such Defaulting Lender that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(iv) Warrants. Except as provided in Section 2.14(c) below, if at any time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender on
account of a failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advances hereunder, then such Defaulting Lender shall forfeit a portion of the Warrants it received on the Closing Date as provided in Section 5.1 of the Warrant Issuance Agreement.

 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing)
and the Requisite Lenders 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, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Requisite Lenders shall determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro
rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made for the benefit of the Defaulting Lender retroactively with respect to


  
 20 









 
fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or Warrants forfeited 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 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) In the event that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender because of its failure to fund an Advance hereunder, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly provide each Non-Defaulting Lender with written notice of such failure. On or before the tenth (10th) Business Day (the “Substitute Funding Day”) after the Administrative Agent’s issuance of such written
notice, any Non-Defaulting Lender may notify the Administrative Agent that it desires to fund the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance. If one or more than one (1) Non-Defaulting Lender (each, a “Covering
Lender”) elects in its sole discretion to fund the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, each such Covering Lender shall be permitted to fund a portion of such Advance (“Covered Advance”) based on the
respective amounts of the Commitments of each such Covering Lender. Any such Covering Lender shall be required to fund its portion of the Advance which the Defaulting Lender has failed to fund within five (5) Business Days of such Substitute
Funding Day. In such event, each Covering Lender who funds such advance shall be entitled to receive additional Warrants as provided in Section 5.2 of the Warrant Issuance Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(ii) hereof, until each Covering Lender has received the full amount of principal and interest due to it in respect to any outstanding Covering Advances, any amounts which would otherwise be paid to the
Defaulting Lender hereunder shall instead be paid pro rata to the Covering Lenders in proportion to their outstanding Covering Advances. 
 Section 2.15 Usury Recapture. 
 (a) If, with respect to any Lender,
the effective rate of interest contracted for under the Loan Documents, including the stated rates of interest and fees contracted for hereunder and any other amounts contracted for under the Loan Documents which are deemed to be interest, at any
time exceeds the Maximum Rate, then the outstanding principal amount of the loans made by such Lender hereunder shall bear interest at a rate which would make the effective rate of interest for such Lender under the Loan Documents equal the Maximum
Rate until the difference between the amounts which would have been due at the stated rates and the amounts which were due at the Maximum Rate (the “Lost Interest”) has been recaptured by such Lender. 

(b) If, when the loans made hereunder are repaid in full, the Lost Interest has not been fully recaptured by such Lender pursuant to the
preceding paragraph, then, to the extent permitted by law, for the loans made hereunder by such Lender the interest rates charged under Section 2.6 hereunder shall be retroactively increased such that the effective rate of interest under
the Loan Documents was at the Maximum Rate since the effectiveness of this Agreement to the extent necessary to recapture the Lost Interest not recaptured pursuant to the preceding sentence and, to the extent allowed by law, Borrower shall pay to
such Lender the amount of the Lost Interest remaining to be recaptured by such Lender. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or
any other term in this Agreement and the Loan Documents to the contrary, it is the intention of each Lender and Borrower to conform strictly to 

  
 21 









 
any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then any such excess shall be
canceled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the loans made hereunder by such Lender or be refunded to Borrower. 

Section 2.16 Allocation. The Loans and Warrants taken together, constitute an “investment unit” for purposes of
Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code. In accordance with Sections 1273(c)(2)(A) and 1273(b)(2) of the Code, the issue price of the investment unit is the amount of the Loans, with $2,200,000 thereof representing the fair market value of the
Warrants. The Borrower and each Lender agree to use the foregoing purchase price allocation for income tax purposes (unless otherwise required by a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction) and for all
other purposes (including, without limitation, for financial reporting purposes) and shall not take any position inconsistent with the allocation contained in this Section 2.16 on any tax return or for any other tax purpose.

Schedule 4.21. 
 Section 4.2 Power. The execution, delivery, and performance by each Credit Party of this
Agreement, any Notes, and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, thereby and the Plan of Reorganization (a) are within such Credit Party’s governing powers,

Party’s identity or organizational structure, (iv) in any Credit Party’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number, if any, or (v) in any Credit Party’s jurisdiction of organization
(including by merging with or into any other entity, reorganizing, dissolving, liquidating, reorganizing or organizing in any other jurisdiction), until (A) it shall have given the Administrative Agent not less than ten (10) days’
prior written notice (in the form of an Officers’ Certificate), or such lesser notice period agreed to by the Requisite Lenders, of its intention so to do, clearly describing such change and providing such other information in connection
therewith as the Requisite Lenders may reasonably request; (B) it shall have taken all action reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the applicable Secured Parties in the 

  
 46 









 
Collateral, if applicable; and (C) such change is not otherwise in violation of this Agreement. Each Credit Party agrees, as soon as practicable, to provide the Administrative Agent with
certified Organizational Documents reflecting any of the changes described in the preceding sentence. Each Credit Party also agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in the location of any office in which it maintains books
or records relating to Collateral owned by it or any office or facility at which Collateral is located (including the establishment of any such new office or facility), other than changes in location to a Property subject to a Mortgage or a leased
property, in each case if different than the location relating to such Collateral set forth in the schedules to the Security Instruments or the most recent supplement thereto. 
 (b) Concurrently with the delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 5.6(a), each Credit Party shall, deliver to the Administrative Agent a supplement to the schedules to the
Security Instruments or confirmation that there have been no changes to the information set forth in such schedules since the date of the Security Instruments or the last supplement thereto provided pursuant to this Section 5.17(b).

 Section 5.18 Immaterial Subsidiaries. On or before the 90th day after the Closing Date (or such later date as
agreed by the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion), the Credit Parties shall liquidate or dissolve each Immaterial Subsidiary; provided, that the Credit Parties shall promptly after the expiration of such 90 days after the Closing Date comply
with Section 5.12(b) with respect to any Immaterial Subsidiary that is not liquidated or dissolved within such 90 days after the Closing Date unless the Board of Directors of the Borrower shall determine that such Immaterial Subsidiary does not
own any material Property and that the value of such Immaterial Subsidiary’s Property would make compliance with Section 5.12(b) impractical or uneconomic, and the Borrower shall have so notified the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in
writing. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.18 shall not apply to any Subsidiary that is an Immaterial Subsidiary as of the Closing Date but ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary after the Closing Date.

Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.5, 5.6, 5.8 and 5.9 and Article VI of this Agreement), (l), (m) and (n) above will constitute an Event of Default only if the event described is not
remedied by the applicable Credit Party within thirty (30) days after the Default Notice Date,(B) defaults under Sections 5.2, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.8 and Article VI of this Agreement will constitute an Event of Default

only if the event described is not remedied by the applicable Credit Party within one (1) days after the Default Notice Date. For purposes of this section, “Default Notice Date” shall mean the earlier of (i) any officer of
Borrower (or, in the case of any Credit Party, any officer of that Credit Party) becoming aware of the occurrence of the event and (ii) Borrower’s receipt of a notice from Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) on
behalf of Lenders of the occurrence of the event. 
 Section 7.2 Optional Acceleration of Maturity. If any Event of

and each Lender 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
indebtedness at any time owing by Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made
any demand under this Agreement, any Notes, or such other Loan Documents, and although such Obligations may be unmatured or may be due to another Lender or the Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to promptly notify
Borrower after any such set off and application made by Administrative Agent or such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of Administrative Agent and each
Lender under this Section 7.4 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set off) that Administrative Agent or such Lender may have. 

Section 7.5 Non-exclusivity of Remedies. No remedy conferred upon Administrative Agent and Lenders is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy, and each remedy shall be cumulative of all other remedies existing by contract, at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

ARTICLE VIII. 
 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 Section 8.1 Appointment, Authorization and
Action. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent as an agent of such Lender and Secured Party under the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent hereby accepts such designation and appointment. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in
such capacity, through its agents or employees to (i) to take such action as agent on its behalf under the provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, (ii) execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with
respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents or otherwise at the direction of the Requisite Lenders and (iii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Secured
Parties in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Credit Party shall have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any such provisions. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, and such instructions shall be
binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, or applicable law. 
 (b) Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at the
direction of the Requisite Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by


  
 63 









 
the Administrative Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC (or any equivalent provision of the UCC), at any sale thereof conducted under
the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable Legal
Requirements. 
 Section 8.2 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken (including the Administrative Agent’s own negligence) by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the
Requisite Lenders; 
 (b) may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper Person, and
shall not incur any liability for relying thereon; 
 (c) may seek and rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon,
any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel (including counsel for any Credit Party), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and upon any certification (including without
limitation, any Officer’s Certificate or Responsible Officer’s Certificate), instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or delivered to it by any Secured Party, in each case, believed by it
to be made by the proper Person without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof; 

(d) to the extent a Responsible Officer’s certificate, Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel is required or permitted
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be delivered to the Administrative Agent in respect of any matter, the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a Responsible Officer’s certificate, Officers’ Certificate or opinion
of counsel as to such matter and such Responsible Officer’s certificate, Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel shall be full warranty and protection to the Administrative Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under
the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 
 (e) may presume that, in determining compliance with any
condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from
such Lender before the making of such Loan; 
 (f) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be
responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties, or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; 

  
 64 









 (g) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance
of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of any Credit Party or to inspect the Property (including the books and records) of any Credit Party; 

(h) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or value
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; 
 (i) shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take, or refraining from
taking (except as expressly required herein) any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, any action that may be required or contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement) unless it shall first receive
such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders or such additional indemnity from the Lenders, in each case, as it deems appropriate and until such instructions, or indemnity, as applicable are received, the Administrative Agent shall act, or
refrain from acting, as it deems advisable in its sole discretion; 
 (j) shall be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, any action that may be required or contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement) in accordance with a request, direction or consent of the Requisite Lenders
and such request, direction or consent and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders and all holders of Notes; 
 (k) Reserved; and 
 (l) shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, statement, document or other instrument or writing (including any facsimile, electronic message, internet or
intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. 
 Section 8.3 The Administrative Agent and Its Affiliates. If the Administrative Agent shall become a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Administrative Agent
in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party, and any Person who may do
business with or own securities of any Credit Party, all as if the Administrative Agent were not an agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. 
 Section 8.4 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, covenants, functions, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) the Administrative Agent shall not have 

  
 65 









 
any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent
is required to exercise in writing at the direction of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.1); provided that the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Documents or applicable Legal Requirements and (c) except as
expressly set forth in the 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 any Lender or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the 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 or direction of the
Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.1). The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed 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 representative made or in connection with any 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 in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, except as otherwise expressly provided in Article III.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each party to this Agreement
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to
be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the
request and on behalf of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. 

Section 8.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights
and power by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent in connection with their performance
and/or exercise of the Administrative Agent’s duties, rights and powers, and shall apply to their respective activities as Administrative Agent. 

  
 66 









 Section 8.6 Reserved. 

Section 8.7 Lender Credit Decision. 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, independent investigation, appraisal and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

Section 8.8 Indemnification. THE LENDERS SEVERALLY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND
THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY ANY CREDIT PARTY AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATION OF THE CREDIT PARTIES TO DO SO), ACCORDING TO THEIR RESPECTIVE PRO RATA SHARES IN EFFECT ON THE DATE ON
WHICH INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT UNDER THIS SECTION 8.8 (OR, IF INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT AFTER THE DATE UPON WHICH ALL COMMITMENTS SHALL HAVE TERMINATED AND THE LOANS SHALL HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL, RATABLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH OUTSTANDING
LOANS AND COMMITMENTS AS IN EFFECT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SUCH DATE), FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, FINES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATIONS, INQUIRIES OR PROCEEDINGS,
COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH AT ANY TIME (WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS) MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING
OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMMITMENTS OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMMITMENTS OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (INCLUDING IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING,
IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY RELATED PERSON), AND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS AND ANY LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, PROVIDED
THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, CLAIMS, SUITS, LITIGATIONS, INVESTIGATIONS, INQUIRIES OR PROCEEDINGS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS RESULTING FROM
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT. WITHOUT 

  
 67 









 
LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH LENDER AGREES TO REIMBURSE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS RATABLE SHARE OF ANY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING COUNSEL FEES) INCURRED BY
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT, OR ENFORCEMENT (WHETHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHERWISE) OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR
RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, TO THE EXTENT THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH BY ANY CREDIT PARTY. To the extent that the indemnity obligations provided in this Section 8.8 are for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent as the named secured party under the Liens granted under the Security Instruments, each Lender hereby agrees that if such Lender ceases to be a Lender hereunder but Obligations owing to such Lender or an
Affiliate of such Lender continue to be secured by such Liens, then such Lender shall continue to be bound by the provisions of this Section 8.8 until such time as such Obligations have been satisfied or terminated in full and subject to
the terms of the last sentence of Section 10.9. The agreements in this Section 8.8 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

Section 8.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign by giving thirty (30) days prior written
notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Requisite Lenders upon receipt of written notice from the Requisite Lenders to such effect. Upon receipt of notice of any such resignation or removal,
the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such successor Administrative Agent is not a Lender or an Approved Fund, the consent of Borrower.
If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders with the consent of Borrower, if applicable, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative
Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Requisite Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders and Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
shall be, in the case of a successor agent, a Lender, an Approved Fund or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.00;
provided that, if the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring Administrative
Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent
by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII,
Section 10.4, Section 10.12, Section 10.14 and Section 10.15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.

 Section 8.10 Collateral Matters. 

(a) Each Lender irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and each other Lender as its agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting
Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC, any equivalent provision of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable Legal Requirement a
security interest can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Administrative Agent’s
request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. 

(b) The Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent
from the Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any actions with respect to any Collateral or Security Instruments which may be necessary to perfect and maintain Acceptable Security Interests in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to
the Security Instruments. The Administrative Agent is further authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any action (other than
enforcement actions requiring the consent of, or request by, the Requisite Lenders as set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.3) in exigent circumstances as may be reasonably necessary to preserve any rights or privileges of
the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or applicable law. By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Instruments, each Secured Party not party hereto hereby agrees to the terms of this Section 8.10(b).

 (c) Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes the automatic release of any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document: (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all the Obligations at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) at the time the Property subject to such Lien is sold or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and
the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate or document to that effect provided to it by a Secured Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry) to any person other than a Credit Party; (iii) if it constitutes
Property in which no Credit Party owned any interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the
Loan documents pursuant to Section 9.9; (v) with respect to any Equity Interests of any Immaterial Subsidiary, upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Immaterial Subsidiary pursuant to Section 5.18, or (vi) if
the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the applicable Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, as required by Section 10.1. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the
Secured Parties will confirm in writing or the Borrower will provide an Officer’s Certificate confirming, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent’s authority to take or refrain from taking any action with respect to the release of
particular types or items of 

  
 69 









 
Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.10. By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Instruments, each Secured Party not party hereto hereby agrees to the
terms of this Section 8.10(c). 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the
contrary, each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, and each Secured Party hereby agree that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantees, it being understood and agreed
that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the Security Instruments may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Requisite Lenders on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof. By
accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Instruments, to the extent a Secured Party is not a party hereto, it agrees to the terms of this Section 8.10(d). 

(e) In each case as specified in this Section 8.10, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent to), at the direction of the Requisite Lenders and at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such
item of Collateral from the security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Document, Section 9.9, and this Section 8.10; provided, however, that (1) the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose it to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other
than the release of such Collateral or such Transferred Guarantor without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly
so released) and the Administrative Agent’s Liens shall automatically attach to the proceeds from any such sale, license, lease, or other dispositions of any such Collateral. 

(f) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure the value or sufficiency of any
Collateral or that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully
created, perfected, protected, maintained, preserved, continued or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, or whether to impose,
maintain, reduce, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not, or unless expressly provided in any Loan Documents to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of
care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the
Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Administrative Agent’s
own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Secured Parties as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein.

 ARTICLE IX. 
 GUARANTEE 
 Section 9.1 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby
jointly and severally guarantee, as primary obligors and not as a surety, to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration,
demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition
under Title 11 of the United States Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and any Notes held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Credit Party under any Loan Document
in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, agree that if the Borrower or other
Guarantors shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or
renewal. 
 Section 9.2 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 9.1
shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as
described above: 
 (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any
performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 
 (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted; 

(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall
be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security
therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; 

  
 71 









 (iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of any Lender or
Administrative Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or 
 (v) the
release of any other Guarantor. 
 To the extent permitted by law, the Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment,
demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument
referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. To the extent permitted by law, the Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension,
waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be
deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this
Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by
Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against Borrower or against any
other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and
effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from
time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding. 
 Section 9.3
Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IX shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Credit Party in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise. 

Section 9.4 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash
of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement, it shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in
Section 9.1, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Debts of any Credit Party to another
Credit Party permitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be subordinated to such Credit Party’s Obligations. 

  
 72 









 Section 9.5 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as
between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and
payable in the circumstances provided in said Article VII) for purposes of Section 9.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and
payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due
and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 9.1. 
 Section 9.6 Instrument for the Payment of
Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article IX constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by
such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213 to the extent permitted thereunder. 

Section 9.7 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article IX is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to
all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. 
 Section 9.8 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any
action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable Debtor Relief Law or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under
Section 9.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 9.1, then,
notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Credit Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and
enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. 

Section 9.9 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, all or
substantially all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor owned by a Credit Party or property of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a Person or Persons, none of which is a Credit Party,
such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Sections 10.4 and 10.7 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any
Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Instrument and, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor owed by a Credit Party, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to the Security Instrument shall be released, and the Administrative Agent shall take such actions as the Requisite Lenders shall direct are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 9.9 in accordance with
the relevant provisions of the Security Instruments. 

  
 73 









 Section 9.10 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the
extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its
proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9.4. The provisions of this Section 9.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and
liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent may make available to the Lenders materials and/or information
provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the

Documents. 
 Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times

and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material
non-public information with respect to the Credit Parties or their securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 
 THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PERSONS WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE
ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN 

  
 76

FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY CREDIT PARTY’S OR
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH

any Lender or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
 Section 10.4 Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay (a) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates (including the reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Administrative Agent and each Lender), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (b) all out of pocket expenses
incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Administrative Agent or any Lender) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (i) in connection

(other than pursuant to a transaction permitted under Section 6.4(a)) or any interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is
intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, any other Indemnitee) any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 (i) Any Lender may assign (the “Assignor”) to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) each
such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of such Lender’s rights and obligations assigned under this Agreement, (B) the amount of the Loans of such Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment
(determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall be, if to an entity other than a Lender or an Approved Fund, not less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Loans) and shall be, if not assigned in full, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (C) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (D) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver

such Lender shall have complied in all respects with Section 3.3 of the Warrant Issuance Agreement, and (G) if the assignment is not being made to an Affiliate of the Assignor the requirements of paragraph (b)(ii) of this
Section 10.6 shall have been satisfied. Upon such execution, delivery, acknowledgement and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least three Business

and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) such Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than any rights
which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.9) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

 (ii) If any Assignor desires to sell any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Loans or
Commitments (and its Pro Rata share of the Warrants) to any Person (other than to a Lender or an Approved Fund) while the Obligations or any Commitments are outstanding, then such Lender shall first deliver a written offer letter (the “Offer
Letter”) to the Borrower and the other Lenders and/or Holders (collectively, the “Other Lenders”) notifying them of its desire to sell a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Loans or Commitments (and its Pro Rata share of
the Warrants) and indicating the exact amount of Loans and Warrants (or underlying Warrant Shares (as defined in the Warrant Issuance Agreement)) desired to be sold by the Assignor (collectively, the “Offered Loans”). Upon receipt
of the Offer Letter, the Other Lenders (or any of them) shall have three (3) Business Days to elect to make an offer to collectively purchase all of the Offered Loans for cash by delivering a written notice of an offer to the Assignor (the
“Offer”). The Offer shall set forth the purchase price (the “Loans Offer Price”) for all of the Offered Loans that the Other Lender(s) making the Offer (the “Offering Lenders”) desire(s) to
purchase, which Loans Offer Price shall, in the event the Offering Lenders do not propose the same Loans Offer Price, be determined by holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding held by the Offering Lenders. The
Assignor will then have ten (10) days from its receipt of the Offer to notify the Other Lenders in writing of its acceptance or rejection of the Offer. If no such acceptance or rejection notice is given by the Assignor, then the Assignor shall
be deemed to have rejected the Offer. In the event that the Assignor accepts the Offer, any Offering Lender and any Other Lender that desires to purchase a portion of the Offered Loans, shall have the right to purchase a portion of the Offered Loans
on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer that was accepted by the Assignor and shall thereafter be deemed to be an “Offering Lender” for all purposes hereunder, and the accepted Offer shall be deemed made on a pro rata basis
among such Offering Lenders and Other Lenders on the basis of their pro rata ownership (together with their Affiliates) of the principal amount of the Commitments (or if no Commitments are outstanding, the principal amount of the Loans) prior to
such Offer. The closing of the purchase of the Offered Loans by the Offering Lenders (including and additional Other Lenders that desire to participate in such Offer) shall occur within thirty (30) days after the Assignor’s acceptance of
the Offer at the offices of the Borrower or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Assignor and the Offering Lenders (including and additional Other Lenders that desire to participate in such Offer), with notice to the Administrative Agent. In the
event that more than one Other Lender elects to be an Assignor, then, unless otherwise agreed by such Offering Lenders, such Offer shall be made on a pro rata basis among such Offering Lenders on the basis of their pro rata ownership (together with
their Affiliates) of the principal amount of the Loans prior to such Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Assignor rejects the Offer or the Offering Lenders, taken together, fail to close such purchase within the time period
provided above, then such Offered Loans may be sold by the Assignor to a third party within 120 days after the expiration of the applicable time period set forth above. Any such sale of Offered Loans to a third party shall be for consideration of
not less than the Loans Offer Price and upon other terms and conditions, if any, not materially less favorable to the purchaser than those specified in the Offer. Any Offered Loans not sold within such 120-day period shall continue to be subject to
the requirements of a prior offer and re-sale pursuant to this Section 10.6(b)(ii). 
 (c) Terms of
Assignments. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment
and Acceptance, such Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility 

  
 79 









 
with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency of value
of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Credit Party or the performance
or observance by any Credit Party of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies
of the most recent Financial Statements and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and
without reliance upon Administrative Agent, such Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

 (d) The Register. Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its
address referred to in Section 10.2(a) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amount of, and
stated interest on, the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent, and
Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Procedures. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by a Lender
and any Person that represents itself to be an Eligible Assignee, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of the attached
Exhibit A, (i) countersign such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such
notice, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Notes a new Note if requested by the Eligible Assignee or the assigning Lender, if applicable. Such new Notes shall be dated the effective date of
such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the attached Exhibit E. 
 (f)
Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to any Eligible Assignee in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, its Commitments to Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall
remain the holder of any such Notes for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) Borrower, Administrative 

  
 80 









 
Agent 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 (v) such Lender
shall not require the participant’s consent to any matter under this Agreement, except for change in the principal amount of the Notes, reductions in fees or interest, releasing all or substantially all of any Collateral, permitting any Credit
Party to enter into any merger or consolidation with or into any other, postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, or extensions of the Maturity Date or
the Availability Period. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that participants shall have the same rights under Section 2.9, Section 2.10, Section 2.12, and Section 10.7 as a Lender to the extent of their
respective participations, provided that no Credit Party shall have any greater obligation pursuant to any such provision that it would have had absent the sale of the participation. 

(g) 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 pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 Section 10.7 Indemnification; Waiver.

 (a) INDEMNIFICATION. EACH CREDIT PARTY SHALL, AND DOES HEREBY INDEMNIFY, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (AND ANY SUB-AGENT
THEREOF) AND EACH LENDER, AND EACH OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, AGENT, ATTORNEY-IN-FACT AND AFFILIATE OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM,

representations and warranties. All obligations of each Credit Party provided for in Sections 2.9, 2.10, 2.12, 10.4 and 10.7 and all of the obligations of Lenders in Section 8.8 shall survive any
