requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans.
Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of
Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each
Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether Borrower
is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a
Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the
duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If 

  
 33 








 
Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed
Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If Borrower
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of
its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans
described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Office not later
than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension,
Section 5.01), Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as received by Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Bank of America with
the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Administrative Agent by Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the
Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and
second, shall be made available to Borrower as provided above. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein,
a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans
without the consent of Required Lenders. 
 (d) Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the
Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders of any
change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five
(5) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans. 
 2.03 Letters of Credit. 

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements
of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of


  
 34 








 
Borrower, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit;
and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrower and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit,
(x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (1) the Borrowing Base and (2) the Aggregate Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender plus such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by
Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the
foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of
Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
 (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any
Letter of Credit, if: 
 (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of the
requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 

(B) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all
the Lenders have approved such expiry date. 
 (iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue
any Letter of Credit if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall
by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit
any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable
on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 
 (B) the issuance of the
Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; 
 (C) except as otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $250,000; 

  
 35 








 (D) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than
Dollars; 
 (E) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into
arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to
Section 2.16(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or
potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or 
 (F) the Letter of Credit contains any
provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder. 
 (iv) The L/C Issuer
shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof. 

(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit
does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit. 
 (vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the
Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to
any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative
Agent” as used in Article X included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. 

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to the
L/C Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or
date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of
the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in
case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as
the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of 

  
 36 








 
any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the
proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and
Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent may require. 

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written
notice from any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article
V shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in
each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from
the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 

(iii) If Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion,
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any
such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”)
in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an
Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of
Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has
received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from Administrative Agent that Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or
(2) from Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

 (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising
bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the 

  
 37 








 
L/C Issuer will also deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the
L/C Issuer shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse
the L/C Issuer through Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on
the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion
of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and
Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer at Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on
the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to
Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With
respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have
incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such
event, each Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C
Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in
respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer. 
 (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by


  
 38 








 
this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other
than delivery by Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of
Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii),
then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment
is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent) with
respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after the
L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if Administrative Agent receives for the
account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Administrative Agent), Administrative
Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described
in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand
of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under
this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 39 








 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit,
this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or
other right that Borrower or any Guarantor or Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or
any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of
Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or 

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Parent, Borrower or any Subsidiary. 

Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of
any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents
unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
 (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and Borrower agree
that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent,
participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken
or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Borrower hereby assumes
all risks 

  
 40 








 
of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not,
preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided,
however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to
consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear
on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 

(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and Borrower when a Letter of
Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. 
 (h) Letter of Credit
Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the
Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to
which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance
with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For
purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and
payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand
and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees
shall accrue at the Default Rate. 
 (i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
Issuer. Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in any letter agreement between Borrower and Administrative Agent, computed on
the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable 

  
 41 








 on the tenth Business Day following the last day of each March, June, September and December
in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and
thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, Borrower
shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.
Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 
 (j)
Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 
 2.04 Prepayments. 
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments.
Borrower may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by Administrative Agent
not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each
case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest
Period(s) of such Loans. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall
make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with
any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.16, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages. 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments—Borrowing Base. If for any reason the Total Outstandings at
any time exceed the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Commitments then in effect and (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess;
provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Committed Loans the Total Outstandings
exceed the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, and (ii) the Borrowing Base. 
 2.05 Termination
or Reduction of Commitments. Borrower may, upon notice to Administrative Agent (which notice may be conditioned on closing of alternative financing), terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate
Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent) prior to the date of
termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the 

  
 42 








 
Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving
effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All
fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. Unless the Aggregate Commitments are terminated in their entirety, the Aggregate Commitments shall not be
less than $20,000,000. 
 2.06 Repayment of Loans. 

Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans outstanding on
such date. 
 2.07 Interest. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a
rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) (i) If any amount of principal
of any Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws. 
 (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by Borrower under any Loan
Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default
Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iii) Upon the request of Required Lenders, while any
Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due
and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law. 

  
 43 








 2.08 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in
subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03: 
 (a)
Unused Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, an unused fee equal to the applicable Unused Fee Percentage times the Unused Portion. The unused
fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each
March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The unused fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the
Unused Fee Percentage during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Unused Fee Percentage separately for each period during such quarter that such Unused Fee Percentage was in effect. 

(b) Other Fees. 
 (i) Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in any letter agreement between Borrower, Administrative
Agent, certain Lenders, and Arrangers regarding fees payable with respect to the Obligations. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

(ii) Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and
at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. 

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which may result in more
fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the
Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest
rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If, as a
result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Borrower or for any other reason, Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by Borrower as of any applicable date was
inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States, automatically and without further action by Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees
actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may 

  
 44 








 
be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.07(b) or under Article IX. Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive
the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 
 2.10 Evidence of
Debt. 
 (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records
maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions
made by the Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the
Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in
the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to
such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records
maintained by Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

2.11 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) General. All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable
interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing
interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (b) Clawback. 

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to Administrative
Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on 

  
 45 








 
such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time
required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be
made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of
such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by
Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds 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 Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b)
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender
makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Administrative Agent because the
conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such
Lender, without interest. 
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any


  
 46 








 
Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

 (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any
Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

2.12 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 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 Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such
Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on
behalf of Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in
Section 2.15, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant,
other than an assignment to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
 Each Loan 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 Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 

2.13 Extension of Maturity Date. 
 (a) Requests for Extension. Borrower may, by notice to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than ninety (90) days and not later than sixty (60) days
prior to the Initial Maturity Date, request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Initial Maturity Date for an additional 364 days from the Initial Maturity Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”), and such requested
extension will be granted subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) below. 

  
 47 








 (b) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. As a condition
precedent to such extension, (i) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Initial Maturity Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party
(A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such extension and (B) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (y) the
representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Initial Maturity Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties
specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.13, the representations and warranties contained in
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 6.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and
(b), respectively, of Section 7.01, and (z) no Default exists, (ii) Administrative Agent shall have received, at Borrower’s expense, an Acceptable Borrowing Base Appraisal of each Borrowing Base
Property dated not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, and (iii) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, an extension fee
equal to the Aggregate Commitments as of the date of, and after giving effect to, such extension, times one fifth of one percent (0.20%). 
 2.14 Increase in Commitments. 
 (a) Request for
Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not
exceeding $200,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, (ii) Borrower may make a maximum of three (3) such requests, and (iii) no such request may be
submitted after the date that is six (6) months prior to the then applicable Maturity Date. At the time of sending such notice, Borrower (in consultation with Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is
requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). 
 (b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal
to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. 

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and each
Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld),
Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel. 

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this
Section, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and
the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. 

  
 48 








 (e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent
to such increase, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party
(x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the
representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties
specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 6.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b),
respectively, of Section 7.01, (B) no Default exists, and (C) a Borrowing Base Report and (ii) a favorable opinion of outside counsel to the Loan Parties as to no conflict with or violation of any material debt
document, in form and substance substantially similar in scope to the opinions delivered by Latham & Watkins, LLP on November 22, 2010 and on January 11, 2011 and as acceptable to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall prepay any
Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable
Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section. 
 (f)
Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or 11.01 to the contrary. 
 2.15 Cash Collateral. 
 (a) Certain Credit Support
Events. Upon the request of Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a
Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to
Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). Should any L/C Obligations be outstanding during a period that would otherwise qualify as a Permitted Financial Covenant Non-Compliance Period (other
than the existence of such L/C Obligations), Borrower may immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations to qualify for a Permitted Financial Covenant Non-Compliance Period. 

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to
deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant
hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is
subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured


  
 49 








 
thereby, Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient
to eliminate such deficiency. 
 (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.16 or 9.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to
the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash
Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein. 
 (d)
Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations
giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) Administrative Agent’s
good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default
(and following application as provided in this Section 2.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash
Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 
 2.16
Defaulting Lenders. 
 (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That 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 Section 11.01. 

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative
Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer hereunder; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for
future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account
and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C 

  
 50 








 
Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the L/C Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach
of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against
that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that 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 L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the
payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash
Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any unused fee pursuant to
Section 2.08(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) pursuant
to Section 2.08(a) and (b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall (A) be required to pay to the L/C Issuer the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting
Exposure arising from that Defaulting Lender and (B) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to
receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h). 
 (iv) Reallocation of
Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in
Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that,
(i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire,
refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of that
Lender. 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the L/C Issuer agree in
writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any
conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as
Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro 

  
 51 








 
rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the
extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

  

	2.17	Collateral and Guaranties. 


(a) Collateral. To secure the full and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower and certain Subsidiaries shall
enter into a Pledge Agreement pursuant to which each such entity grants, pledges, assigns, and creates first priority Liens in favor of Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of Lenders) in 100% of the Pledged Equity. 

(b) Guaranties. Pursuant to the Parent Guaranty, Parent shall unconditionally guarantee in favor of Administrative Agent and
Lenders the full payment and performance of the Obligations. Pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty or any joinder thereto substantially in the form attached to the Subsidiary Guaranty, Parent and Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary that is required
by the definition of “Subsidiary Guarantor” to execute a Subsidiary Guaranty unconditionally guaranteeing in favor of Administrative Agent and Lenders the full payment and performance of the Obligations, other than Subsidiaries who are, or
whose Affiliates are, subject to any Contractual Obligation which prohibits such Subsidiary from guaranteeing the Obligations. 

(c) Future Liens and Guaranties. Promptly upon the designation, formation, or acquisition of any new Subsidiary of any Company
(x) that would be required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the definition thereof or (y) the Equity Interests of which would be required to be Pledged Equity as required by the definition thereof (each such new
Subsidiary being referred to herein as the “Additional Assets”), Parent or Borrower shall (or shall cause the appropriate Subsidiary to) execute and deliver within 30 days, to Administrative Agent all further instruments and
documents (including, without limitation, Pledge Agreements, all certificates and instruments representing shares of stock or other equity interests, a counterpart of the Subsidiary Guaranty, and documents of the types referred to in
clauses 5.01(a)(v) and 5.01(a)(vi) of Section 5.01(a), and upon request, favorable opinions of counsel to such new Subsidiary (which shall cover, among other things, the
legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the documents to be delivered), all in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent), and shall take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that
Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to (a) grant, perfect, and protect Liens in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in such Additional Assets, as security for the Obligations to the extent Liens are required in
such assets pursuant to Section 2.17(a) or (b) to grant a Guarantee of the Obligations to the extent Guarantees are required for such Obligations pursuant to Section 2.17(b), it being expressly
understood that the granting of such additional security and a Guaranty for the Obligations is a material inducement to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Lender, and provided that to the extent any Subsidiary or an Affiliate
thereof is subject to any Contractual Obligation which prohibits the Equity Interests from being pledged to secure the Obligations or the granting of a Guaranty of the Obligations, no such pledge or Guarantee shall be required hereunder. Upon
satisfying the terms and conditions hereof, (i) such Additional Assets shall be included in the “Collateral” for all purposes under the Loan Documents, and all references to the “Collateral” in
the Loan Documents shall include the Additional Assets and (ii) such new Subsidiaries shall be included in the definition of “Subsidiary Guarantor” for all purposes under the Loan Documents, and all


  
 52 








 
references to the “Subsidiary Guarantor” in the Loan Documents shall include such new Subsidiaries. 

(d) Release of Collateral and Guaranties. 

(i) Upon any sale, transfer, or disposition of Pledged Equity which is expressly permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents
(or is otherwise authorized by requisite Lenders), and upon ten (10) Business Days’ (or such lesser time period agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior written request by Borrower (which request must be accompanied
by true and correct copies of (i) all documents of transfer or disposition, including any contract of sale, and (ii) all requested release instruments), Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to)
execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of Liens granted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders pursuant hereto in such Pledged Equity and to release the Guaranty executed by such Subsidiary (and, to the extent
such Person is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor and its Equity Interests are not otherwise required to be Pledged Equity hereunder after giving effect to such contemplated release, the Guaranty by the direct holder of such Subsidiary
Guarantor’s Equity Interests and the Pledged Equity in such direct holder). 
 (ii) Upon the incurrence of
any Indebtedness by a Subsidiary Guarantor which is expressly permitted pursuant to Section 8.03, in the case of any Borrowing Base Property Owner, or the existence of any Indebtedness by any other Subsidiary Guarantor, and upon
ten (10) Business Days’ (or such lesser time period agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior written request by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute
such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Guaranty executed by such Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary and the pledge of the Pledged Equity issued by such Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary; provided that, (A) the
Indebtedness incurred by the applicable Subsidiary is secured by a Property, (B) the terms of such Indebtedness expressly prohibit such Subsidiaries from providing a Guarantee of the Obligations, or the pledge of the Equity Interests issued by
the affected Subsidiaries, as applicable, and (C) Borrower has provided to Administrative Agent true and correct copies of all documents evidencing such Indebtedness. 

(iii) The actions of Administrative Agent under this Section 2.17(d) are, in addition to the conditions
set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, subject to the following: (i) no such release of Liens or Guaranties shall be granted if any Default would exist after giving effect thereto;
(ii) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other
than the release of such Liens or Guaranty without recourse or warranty; (iii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair any other Obligations or Liens existing or arising under the Loan Documents, and (iv) in
the event that the Pledged Equity or any Guaranty of any Borrowing Base Property Owner is requested to be released, then Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent with evidence that after giving effect to such requested release, the Outstanding
Amount shall not exceed the Borrowing Base. 

  
 53 








 Article III. 
 Taxes, Yield Protection and Illegality 
 3.01 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. 

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require Borrower or Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld
or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below. 

(ii) If Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both
United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and
documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and
(C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the
provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws. 

(c) Tax Indemnifications. 
 (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer,
and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by Borrower or Administrative Agent or paid by Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify Administrative Agent, and
shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this
subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Administrative 

  
 54 








 
Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and
the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify Borrower and Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims,
liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Borrower or Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against Borrower or Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a
result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
to Borrower or Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the
resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other
Obligations. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or by Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent shall deliver to
Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
 (e) Status of Lenders; Tax
Documentation. 
 (i) Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower and to Administrative Agent, at the time or times
prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other
reasonably requested information as will permit Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the
required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

 (A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Borrower


  
 55 








 
or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements; and 
 (B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to
the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable: 
 (1) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 
 (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,

 (3) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation, 

(4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent
shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or 
 (5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding
or deduction required to be made. 
 (iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify Borrower and Administrative
Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be
reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that Borrower or Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such
Lender. 
 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall
Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account
of such Lender or the L/C 

  
 56 








 
Issuer, as the case may be. If Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C
Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 
 3.02 Illegality. If any
Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to
the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the
London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest
rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies
Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if
applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the
Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the
Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based
upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that
(a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does 

  
 57 








 
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the
Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar
Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. 

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer; 

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of
Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any
Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C
Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the
Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then
from time to time Borrower will pay to such 

  
 58 








 
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for
any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C
Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section
and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or
the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies
Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 (e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith,
which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to
Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of
such notice. 
 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time
to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory,
automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
 (b) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the
failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or 

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result
of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13; 
 including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense
arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the 

  
 59 








 
deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have
funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar
Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any
Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or
the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of
Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13. 
 3.07
Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of Administrative Agent. 

Article IV. 

Borrowing Base 
 4.01 Initial Borrowing Base. As of the Closing Date, the Borrowing Base shall consist of the Initial Borrowing Base Properties as set forth on Schedule 4.01. 

4.02 Changes in Borrowing Base Calculation. Each change in the Borrowing Base shall be effective upon receipt of a new Borrowing
Base Report pursuant to Section 7.02(b); provided that any increase in the Borrowing Base reflected in such Borrowing Base Report shall not become effective until the fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery thereof and
provided further that any change in the Borrowing Base as a result of the receipt of a new Acceptable Borrowing Base Appraisal pursuant to Section 4.07 shall be effective upon the date that Administrative Agent approves such
appraisal, and any change in the Borrowing Base as a result of the admission of an Acceptable Property into the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.03 shall be effective upon the date that such Acceptable Property is admitted
into the Borrowing Base. 

  
 60 








 4.03 Requests for Admission into Borrowing Base. Borrower shall provide
Administrative Agent with a written request for a Property to be admitted into the Borrowing Base. Such request shall be accompanied by information regarding such Property including the following: (a) a general description of such
Property’s location, market, and amenities; (b) a property description; (c) purchase information (including any contracts of sale and closing statements); (d) cash flow projections for the next three (3) years and operating
statements for at least the previous three (3) years or since opening or acquisition if open or acquired less than three (3) years; (e) a property condition report; (f) the documents and information with respect to such Property
listed in Section 4.11; and (g) such other information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent as shall be necessary in order for Administrative Agent and Required Lenders to determine whether such Property is eligible
to be a Borrowing Base Property. 
 4.04 Eligibility. In order for a Property to be eligible for inclusion in the
Borrowing Base, such Property shall have characteristics consistent with the following general guidelines: 
 (a)
all Property Information shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent; 
 (b) no Material Title Defect
or Material Property Event with respect to such Property shall exist; 
 (c) such Property shall have reasonably
satisfactory access to public utilities; 
 (d) the admission of such Property into the Borrowing Base shall not
breach any obligation of any Loan Party under any Contractual Obligation; 
 (e) the Environmental Assessment
with respect to such Property shall not reveal any Material Environmental Event; 
 (f) such Property shall be an
Acceptable Property; and 
 (g) the structural engineering report with respect to such Property shall not reveal
any material defects. 
 4.05 Approval. 

(a) Each Property that meets all of the requirements to be admitted to the Borrowing Base set forth in this Article
IV shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s and Required Lenders’ approval for admission into the Borrowing Base. Notwithstanding the foregoing guidelines, Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby approve all Initial Borrowing
Base Properties (i) as Acceptable Properties and (ii) for admission into the Borrowing Base; provided that, Administrative Agent and Lenders must receive and approve the documentation and other items marked as “Post-Closing
Borrowing Base” on Schedule 5.03 with respect to the Initial Borrowing Base Properties, before any value will be assigned to the Initial Borrowing Base Properties for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base. 

(b) Any Property not meeting all of the requirements to be admitted to the Borrowing Base set forth in this Article
IV shall be subject to the approval of Administrative Agent and the Super Majority Lenders. 
 (c) Upon
receipt by Administrative Agent of the written request for a Property to be admitted into the Borrowing Base as set forth in Section 4.03, Administrative Agent shall within five (5) Business Days distribute a copy of such
request to each Lender. Each Lender will have 

  
 61 








 
ten (10) Business Days from the date of such Lender’s receipt of such request to approve the inclusion of the proposed Property in the Borrowing Base. If Administrative Agent does not
receive a response from a Lender regarding its approval of the Property within such ten (10) Business Day period, the admission of the Property into the Borrowing Base will be deemed approved by such Lender. If such Property is denied admission
to the Borrowing Base by the affirmative vote of the Required Lenders, Borrower may request in writing that Administrative Agent re-submit such Property for a vote by the Super Majority Lenders as set forth in this clause (c).

 4.06 Notice of Changes in Borrowing Base due to Admission of New Borrowing Base Properties. If a Property is admitted
into the Borrowing Base after the date of this Agreement, then Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders in writing of any changes to the Borrowing Base as a result of the admission of such Property into the Borrowing Base. 

4.07 Appraisals of Borrowing Base Properties. 

(a) Administrative Agent or Required Lenders will be entitled to obtain, at Borrower’s expense, once during each
twelve (12) month period, an Acceptable Borrowing Base Appraisal of each Borrowing Base Property or any part thereof; provided that, in addition to the foregoing, Administrative Agent will be entitled to obtain additional Acceptable
Borrowing Base Appraisals of any Borrowing Base Property or any part thereof if (i) a Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) an Exclusion Event has occurred and is continuing; or (iii) an appraisal is required under applicable
Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall, upon its reasonable belief that a Material Property Event has occurred with respect to a Borrowing Base Property, or is likely to occur, be entitled to obtain from time to time, at its
own expense, an Acceptable Borrowing Base Appraisal for such Borrowing Base Property. 
 (b) Borrower may at its
option request that Administrative Agent obtain, at Borrower’s expense, an Acceptable Borrowing Base Appraisal of any Borrowing Base Property or any part thereof, and Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders in writing of any

 4.09 Exclusion Events. Each of the following events shall be an “Exclusion
Event” with respect to a Borrowing Base Property: 
 (a) any Borrowing Base Property suffers a
Material Environmental Event after the date of this Agreement (without regard to whether such Material Environmental Event constitutes a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement);

Borrower shall have the right to a ten (10) Business Day extension to remedy any continuing situation so long as such Material Property Effect can be remedied and such Loan Party has been and continues to diligently pursue such remedy;

 (c) a Lien securing claims in excess of $2,000,000 for the performance of work or the supply of materials
which is established against a Borrowing Base Property, or any stop notice served on the owner of such Borrowing Base Property, Administrative Agent or a Lender, remains unsatisfied or unbonded for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of
filing or service; 
 (d) any PIP reflecting any condition requiring corrective action shall be received by any

PIP; 
 (e) such Borrowing Base Property is abandoned; 

(f) such Borrowing Base Property is so demolished, destroyed or damaged that, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative
Agent, it cannot be restored or rebuilt with available funds to a profitable condition within a reasonable period of time and in any event, prior to the Maturity Date or in such manner as would result or does result in the termination of any
Franchise Agreement, Management Agreement, or License Agreement applicable to such Borrowing Base Property; and 

(g) any Condemnation which (i) would result in the blockage or substantial impairment of access or utility service to
the Improvements with respect to such Borrowing Base Property, (ii) would cause such Borrowing Base Property to fail to comply with any Law, or (iii) is reasonably likely to result in a Material Property Event. 

After the occurrence of any Exclusion Event, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and Borrower (the “Exclusion
Notice”) that, effective five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice and for so long as such circumstance exists, such Property shall no longer be considered a Borrowing Base Property for purposes of determining the
Borrowing Base. Borrowing Base Properties which have been subject to an Exclusion Event may be released from the Borrowing Base by Borrower; provided that such release shall be subject to the conditions for release set forth in
Section 4.08 above. 
 If Administrative Agent delivers an Exclusion Notice and such Exclusion Event no longer exists, then
Borrower may give Administrative Agent written notice thereof (together with reasonably detailed 

  
 63 








 
evidence of the cure of such condition) and such Borrowing Base Property shall, effective with the delivery by Borrower of the next Borrowing Base Report, be considered a Borrowing Base Property
for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base as long as such Borrowing Base Property meets all the requirements to be included in the Borrowing Base set forth in this Article IV. Any Property that is excluded from the Borrowing Base

to no Liens, other than Permitted Liens. 
 6.09 Environmental Compliance. 

(a) The Companies conduct in the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and
claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof Parent and Borrower have reasonably concluded that, with respect to the
Borrower, the Borrowing Base Properties, and the Borrowing Base Property Owners, such Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) After due inquiry and investigation in accordance with good commercial or customary practices to determine whether
contamination is present on any Borrowing Base Property, or elsewhere as a result of the off-site disposal of Hazardous Materials by the Loan Parties in connection with any Borrowing Base Property, without regard to whether Administrative Agent or
any Lender has or hereafter obtains any knowledge or report of the environmental condition of such Borrowing Base Property, except as may be indicated in the environmental assessment reports delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with its
due diligence investigations in connection with this Agreement (the “Environmental Reports”): (i) during the period of any Loan Party’s ownership of each of the Borrowing Base Properties, except in the ordinary
course of business of operating each of the Borrower Base Properties as a hotel, such Borrowing Base Property has not been used for landfill, dumping, or other waste disposal activities or operations, for generation, storage, use, sale, treatment,
processing, recycling, or disposal of any Hazardous Material, for underground or aboveground storage tanks, or for any other use that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Property Event, and to each Company’s actual knowledge, no

investigation or inquiry concerning the presence or release of any Hazardous Material on any Borrowing Base Property or to its actual knowledge on any adjacent property or concerning whether any condition, use or activity on any Borrowing Base
Property or any adjacent property is in violation of any Environmental Law; (iv) except as could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Property Event, the present conditions, uses, and activities on each Borrowing Base Property do not
violate any Environmental Law and the use of any Borrowing Base Property which any Company (and each tenant and subtenant) makes and intends to make of any Borrowing Base Property complies and will comply with all applicable Environmental Laws;
(v) no Borrowing Base Property appears on the National Priorities List, any federal or state “superfund” or “superlien” list, or any other list or database of properties maintained by any local, state, or federal agency or
department showing properties which are known to contain or which are suspected of containing a Hazardous Material; (vi) no Company has ever applied for and been denied environmental impairment liability insurance coverage relating to any
Borrowing Base Property; and (vii) no Company has, nor, to any Company’s knowledge, have any tenants or subtenants, been denied any permit or authorization to construct,

occupy, operate, use, or conduct any activity on any Borrowing Base Property by reason of any Environmental Law. 
 Even though a Loan Party may have provided Administrative Agent with an Environmental Assessment or other environmental report together with other relevant information regarding the environmental
condition of the Borrowing Base Properties, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent is not accepting any Property as a Borrowing Base Property based solely on that assessment, report, or information. Rather Administrative Agent
has relied on the assessments, reports, and representations and warranties of Borrower in this Agreement, and Administrative Agent is not waiving any of its rights and remedies in the environmental provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. 
 6.10 Insurance. The properties of the Companies are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance

filed, and have paid all Federal, state and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP. There is no proposed tax assessment against any Company that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Company is party to any tax sharing agreement that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) All sums due and owing by any Loan Party to the other parties to each REA (or by the other parties to each REA to such

 7.07 Maintenance of Insurance. 

(a) Obtain and maintain, at Borrower or the applicable Loan Party’s sole expense: (a) property insurance with
respect to all insurable property of such Loan Party, against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, explosion, hail, tornado and such additional hazards as are presently included in special form (also known as “all-risk”) coverage
and against any and all acts of terrorism and such other insurable hazards as Administrative Agent may require, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost, including the cost of debris removal, without
deduction for depreciation and sufficient to prevent any Loan Party and Administrative Agent and Lenders from becoming coinsurers; (b) if and to the extent any portion of any Borrowing Base Property or the Improvements is, under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (for purposes of this Section, “FDPA”), as it may be amended from time to time, in a Special Flood Hazard Area, within a Flood Zone designated A or V in a participating community,

from time to time be required by Administrative Agent (including but not limited to soft cost coverage, automobile liability insurance, business interruption insurance, or delayed rental insurance, boiler and machinery insurance, earthquake

the height, type, construction, location, use and occupancy of buildings and Improvements. Sublimits shall be permitted where insurance capacity is restricted and to the extent commercially available for comparable properties on similar terms. All
insurance policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts, with deductibles, limits and retentions, and in forms satisfactory to Administrative Agent acting reasonably and reflective of then current market practices of similarly
situated property owners. All insurance companies providing insurance required pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be licensed to do business in the state in which the Borrowing Base Property is located and must have an A. M.
Best Company financial and performance ratings of A-:IX or better. All insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties, except for general liability insurance, shall provide that each such
policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried, Administrative Agent or any Lender and that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if
there were a separate policy covering each insured. If any insurer which has issued an insurance policy pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document becomes insolvent or is the subject of any petition, case, proceeding or other action
pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law, or if in Administrative Agent’s reasonable opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate, each Loan Party shall in each instance promptly upon its discovery thereof or upon the
request of Administrative Agent therefor, promptly obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent a like policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by Administrative Agent, acceptable evidence of insurance) issued by another insurer, which insurer and
policy meet the requirements of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. 
 (b) Cause all
certificates of insurance or other evidence of each initial insurance policy to be delivered to Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, with all premiums fully paid current, and each renewal or substitute policy (or evidence of
insurance) shall be delivered to Administrative Agent, with all premiums fully paid current, at least ten (10) days before the termination of the policy it renews or replaces. 

(c) Pay all premiums on policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to Administrative
Agent evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the timely payment thereof. If any loss occurs at any time when the Loan Parties have failed to perform the Loan Parties’ covenants and agreements in this Section 7.07
with respect to any insurance payable because of loss sustained to any part of any Borrowing Base Property or otherwise, whether or not such insurance is required by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
nevertheless be entitled to the benefit of all insurance 

  
 82 








 
covering the loss and held by or for a Loan Party, to the same extent as if it had been made payable to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders. 

(d) Cause all insurance policies provided for or contemplated by this Section 7.07 with respect to the
assets and properties of the Loan Parties that constitute Collateral to name the applicable Loan Party as the insured. In addition, such insurance policies shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ (or ten (10) days in the case of
termination for non-payment) prior written notice to Administrative Agent of any material modification or cancellation of such policy. 
 7.08 Compliance with Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property, except
in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted; or (b) the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 7.09 Books and Records. Maintain proper books of record and account, in
which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP (or, if the Companies are required to adopt IFRS, then IFRS) consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of Parent or
such Company, as the case may be. 
 7.10 Inspection Rights. Permit representatives and independent contractors of
Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect and photograph any Borrowing Base Property and any of its other properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and all recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless
of the medium of recording including, without limitation, all software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers,
and independent public accountants (provided that the Loan Parties shall have the right to have their representatives present at any meeting with the independent public accountants), all subject to confidentiality constraints and at the expense of
Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and once annually unless reasonably requested more frequently by Administrative Agent, upon reasonable advance notice to the applicable Loan Party; provided, however,
that when an Event of Default exists Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of Borrower at any time during normal business hours. Any
inspection or audit of the Borrowing Base Properties or the books and records, including recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording including, without limitation, software, writings, plans, specifications and
schematics of Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, or the procuring of documents and financial and other information, by Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or on behalf of Lenders shall be for Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’
protection only, and shall not constitute any assumption of responsibility to Borrower or anyone else with regard to the condition, construction, maintenance or operation of the Borrowing Base Properties nor Administrative Agent’s approval of
any certification given to Administrative Agent nor relieve Borrower or any other Loan Party of Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s obligations. 
 7.11 Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition financing, repayment of Indebtedness, and general corporate purposes,
including acquisitions of property, not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document. 
 7.12 Environmental Matters.

 (a) Violations; Notice to Administrative Agent. 

  
 83 








 (i) Not cause, commit, permit, or allow to continue (A) any violation
of any Environmental Law which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect: (I) by any Loan Party; and (II) by or with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties or any use of or condition or activity on the Borrowing
Base Properties, or (B) the attachment of any environmental Liens on the Borrowing Base Properties; 
 (ii)
Except as could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, shall not place, install, dispose of, or release, or cause, permit, or allow the placing, installation, disposal, spilling, leaking, dumping, or release of, any Hazardous
Material or storage tank (or similar vessel) on the Borrowing Base Properties; provided, however, that any Hazardous Material or storage tank (or similar vessel) disclosed in the Environmental Reports or otherwise permitted pursuant to any tenant
lease affecting any Borrowing Base Property shall be permitted on any Borrowing Base Property so long as such Hazardous Material or storage tank (or similar vessel) is maintained in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; 

(iii) Promptly upon request deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of each report pertaining to any Borrowing Base
Property or to any Loan Party prepared by or on behalf of such Loan Party in response to any Environmental Claim; and 
 (iv) Immediately advise Administrative Agent in writing of (i) discovery of any Hazardous Material on any Borrowing Base Property that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Property Event
or (ii) any Environmental Claim, in each case as soon as such Loan Party first obtains knowledge thereof, including a full description of the nature and extent of the Environmental Claim and/or Hazardous Material and all relevant circumstances.

 (b) Site Assessments and Information. If Administrative Agent shall ever have good cause to believe
that any Hazardous Material affects any Borrowing Base Property which could cause a Material Property Event, or if any Environmental Claim is made against a Borrowing Base Property Owner or a Borrowing Base Property, or if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, then if requested by Administrative Agent, at Borrower’s expense, deliver to Administrative Agent from time to time, in each case within sixty (60) days after Administrative Agent’s request, an
Environmental Assessment (hereinafter defined) made after the date of Administrative Agent’s request. As used in this Agreement, the term “Environmental Assessment” means a report of an environmental assessment of the
applicable Borrowing Base Property and of such scope (including but not limited to the taking of soil borings and air and groundwater samples and other above and below ground testing) as Administrative Agent may request, by a consulting firm
approved by Administrative Agent, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld and made in accordance with ASTM standard practice, which is (i) either addressed to Administrative Agent or subject to a reliance letter reasonably satisfactory
to Administrative Agent, (ii) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, and (iii) accompanied by a certification from Borrower that it is complying in good faith with the recommendations set forth therein. If any
Loan Party fails to furnish Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after Administrative Agent’s request with a copy of an agreement with an acceptable environmental consulting firm to provide such Environmental Assessment, or if any
Loan Party fails to furnish to Administrative Agent such Environmental Assessment within sixty (60) days after Administrative Agent’s request, Administrative Agent may cause any such Environmental Assessment to be made at Borrower’s
expense and risk. Each Loan Party shall cooperate with each consulting firm making any such Environmental Assessment and shall supply to the consulting firm, from time to time and 

  
 84 








 
promptly on request, all information reasonably available to the applicable Loan Party to facilitate the completion of the Environmental Assessment. Administrative Agent and its designees are
hereby granted access to the Borrowing Base Properties at any time or times, upon reasonable notice (which may be written or oral), and a license which is coupled with an interest and irrevocable, to make or cause to be made such Environmental
Assessments. Administrative Agent may disclose to any information Administrative Agent ever has about the environmental condition or compliance of the Borrowing Base Properties to the extent required by Law or as permitted by
Section 11.07. Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to make any Environmental Assessment of the Borrowing Base Properties, and in no event shall any Environmental Assessment by Administrative Agent be or give rise to a
representation that any Hazardous Material is or is not present on the Borrowing Base Properties, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental Law, nor shall Borrower or any other Person be entitled to rely on any
Environmental Assessment made by Administrative Agent or at Administrative Agent’s request. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender owes any duty of care to protect any Loan Party or any other Person against any Hazardous Material or other
adverse condition affecting the Borrowing Base Properties. 
 (c) Remedial Actions. If any Hazardous
Material is discovered on any Borrowing Base Property at any time and regardless of the cause, which is in violation of any Environmental Law, promptly, Borrower shall or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to, at the Loan Parties’ sole risk
and expense, to the extent required by Environmental Laws, remove, treat, and dispose of the Hazardous Material in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and solely under the applicable Loan Party’s name (or if removal is prohibited
by any Environmental Law, take whatever action is required by Environmental Law), in addition to taking such other action as is necessary to have the full use and benefit of such Borrowing Base Property as currently conducted, and Borrower shall
provide Administrative Agent with satisfactory evidence thereof. Within sixty (60) days after completion of such remedial actions, the applicable Loan Party shall obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent an Environmental Assessment of the
applicable Borrowing Base Property made after such completion and confirming to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction that all required remedial action as stated above has been taken and successfully completed and that there is no evidence or
suspicion of any contamination or risk of contamination on the applicable Borrowing Base Property or any adjacent property, or of violation of any Environmental Law, with respect to any such Hazardous Material. During the continuance of an Event of
Default, Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may, but shall never be obligated to, remove or cause the removal of any Hazardous Material from any Borrowing Base Property (or if removal is prohibited by any Environmental Law, take or cause the
taking of such other action as is required by any Environmental Law) if the Loan Parties fail promptly to commence such remedial actions as required above and thereafter diligently to prosecute the same to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent
(without limitation of the rights of Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders to exercise all rights and remedies available by reason of the continuance of an Event of Default); and Administrative Agent and its designees are hereby granted access
to the Borrowing Base Properties at any time or times, during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon reasonable notice (which may be written or oral), and a license which is coupled with an interest and irrevocable, to remove or cause such
removal or to take or cause the taking of any such other action. 
 (d) Environmental Indemnification.

 (i) Each of Borrower, Parent, and each Guarantor (collectively “Environmental
Indemnitors”) shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Environmental Damages; unless, and to the 

  
 85 








 
extent that, such Environmental Damages arise solely and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnitees. THIS OBLIGATION SHALL INCLUDE ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM THE
NEGLIGENCE OR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF ANY INDEMNITEE. This obligation shall include, but shall not be limited to, (A) injury or damage to any Person, property, or natural resource occurring on or off of such Borrowing Base Property including
the cost of demolition and rebuilding of any Improvements on any Borrowing Base Property that constitutes Environmental Liabilities, (B) the burden of defending Environmental Claims (with counsel reasonably approved by Indemnitees), even if
such Environmental Claims are groundless, false, fraudulent, frivolous, or ultimately defeated, and conducting all negotiations of any description, (C) paying and discharging, when and as the same shall become due, any and all judgments,
penalties, or other sums due against any Indemnitee in respect of Environmental Claims, (D) all costs of (1) removal and/or remediation of any kind, and disposal of any Hazardous Materials, (2) the investigation or remediation of any
such Hazardous Material or violation of Environmental Law, to the extent required by Environmental Laws, including the preparation of any feasibility studies or reports and (3) the performance of any cleanup, remediation, removal, response,
abatement, containment, closure, restoration, monitoring, or similar work to the extent required by any Environmental Law (including any of the same in connection with any foreclosure action or transfer in lieu thereof), (E) all costs of
determining whether any Borrowing Base Property is in compliance and causing each Borrowing Base Property to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, (F) all liability to pay or indemnify any Person or Governmental Authority for
costs expended in connection with any of the foregoing, and (G) each Indemnitee’s attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and court costs. Any Indemnitee may (i) at its expense, employ additional counsel of its choice to
associate with counsel employed by Environmental Indemnitors, and (ii) settle any Environmental Claim against it, whether or not subject to indemnification hereunder, provided that, if an Environmental Claim is subject to indemnification
hereunder and Environmental Indemnitors desire that Indemnitees not enter into a settlement which Indemnitees propose to accept, then Indemnitees shall not enter into such settlement if Environmental Indemnitors provide to Indemnitees collateral
security or other financial assurance reasonably acceptable to Indemnitees in an amount determined by Indemnitees as reasonably necessary to ensure the fulfillment by Environmental Indemnitors of their indemnity obligation in connection with the
applicable Environmental Claim. 
 (ii) Each Environmental Indemnitor and its successors and assigns hereby
waives, releases and agrees not to make any claim or bring any cost recovery action against Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Environmental Law now existing or hereafter enacted. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent
that Administrative Agent or any Lender is strictly liable under any Environmental Laws, the Environmental Indemnitors’ obligations to Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement shall likewise be without regard to fault on the
part of any Environmental Indemnitor with respect to the violation or condition which results in liability to Administrative Agent or such Lender. 
 (iii) If the undertakings in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), or in any portion thereof, are at any time determined to be unenforceable because it is violative of any
Law or public policy, Environmental Indemnitors will contribute the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Environmental Damages incurred by the Indemnitees as set forth
above. 

  
 86 








 (iv) Environmental Indemnitors shall pay to each Indemnitee all costs and
expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Indemnitee’s legal counsel) incurred by that Indemnitee in connection with the enforcement of the terms of this Section 7.12(d). 

(v) With respect to any of the Borrowing Base Properties located in the State of California, and to the extent that
California law necessarily governs with respect to the provisions of this Section 7.12 notwithstanding the parties’ choice of New York Law, then the definition of Environmental Laws shall be deemed to include references to
(1) the Porter-Cologne Water Cleanup Act, (2) the Waste Management Act of 1980, (3) the Toxic Pit Cleanup Act, (4) the Underground Tank Act of 1984, (5) the California Waste Quality Improvement Act, and (6) California
Health and Safety Code Sections 25117 and 25316. 
 (e) Survival of Indemnity. Environmental
Indemnitors’ obligations under Section 7.12(d) shall survive the making and repayment of the Obligations and the expiration or termination of the Commitments and this Agreement, and any transfer of any Environmental
Indemnitor’s right, title and interest in and to any or all of any Borrowing Base Property (whether by sale or otherwise) until such time as any claim described in Section 7.12(d) hereof shall be barred by the applicable
statute of limitations. No Environmental Indemnitor, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent in each instance, may assign, transfer or set over to another, in whole or in part, all or any part of its benefits, rights, duties, or
obligations hereunder. The burden of proof with regard to establishing the date upon which any event or condition occurred or upon which a Hazardous Material was placed, disposed or Released on, to or from any Borrowing Base Property, shall be upon
Environmental Indemnitors. 
 7.13 Condemnation, Casualty and Restoration. 

(a) The applicable Loan Party shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any proceeding for the Condemnation of any
Borrowing Base Property. If such Condemnation is reasonably likely to result in a Material Property Event, the applicable Loan Party shall give prompt notice of such Condemnation to Administrative Agent and such property shall be subject to
exclusion from the Borrowing Base, as set forth in Section 4.09. 
 (b) If any Borrowing Base
Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), and either (i) the aggregate cost of repair of such damage or destruction shall be equal to or in excess of twenty
percent (20%) of the total most recent Appraised Value in respect of such Borrowing Base Property or (ii) such Casualty is reasonably likely to result in a Material Property Event, give prompt notice of such Casualty to Administrative
Agent and in the case of clause (ii) above, such property shall be subject to exclusion from the Borrowing Base, as set forth in Section 4.09. To the extent such property is not removed by Borrower as a
Borrowing Base Property in accordance with Section 4.08, the applicable Loan Party shall pay or cause to be paid, all Restoration costs whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by a Loan Party. If an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the applicable Loan Party shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of,
Administrative Agent. 
 7.14 Ground Leases. 

With respect to Borrowing Base Properties that are subject to ground leases: 

  
 87 








 (a) Pay or cause to be paid all rents, additional rents, and other sums
required to be paid by the applicable Loan Party, as tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of any such Acceptable Ground Leases; 
 (b) Diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants, and conditions any Acceptable Ground Lease as tenant under such Acceptable Ground Lease; 

(c) Exercise any individual option to extend or renew the term of such Acceptable Ground Lease upon demand by
Administrative Agent made at any time within thirty (30) days prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and each applicable Loan Party hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Administrative Agent as its
attorney-in-fact to, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of such Loan Party, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be
coupled with an interest; and 
 (d) Not cancel, terminate, surrender, or amend any such Acceptable Ground Lease
without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, unless, in the case of an amendment, the same would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Property Event. 
 If any Loan Party shall default in the performance or observance of any term, covenant, or condition of any such Acceptable Ground Lease on the part of such Loan Party and shall fail to cure the same
prior to the expiration of any applicable cure period provided thereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to[, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default,] pay any sums and
to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of such Acceptable Ground Lease on the part of any Loan Party to be performed or observed on behalf of such Loan Party, to the end that
the rights of such Loan Party in, to, and under such Acceptable Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. If the landlord under any such Acceptable Ground Lease shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any notice of default
under such Acceptable Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, in good faith, in reliance thereon at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuation of a Default. 
 7.15 [Reserved]. 

7.16 [Reserved]. 
 7.17 REIT Status. At all times, Parent (including its organization and method of operations) shall qualify as a REIT. 
 7.18 Operation of Borrowing Base Properties. In each case, unless the failure to do so would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) operate each Borrowing Base
Property in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with each Franchise Agreement and each License Agreement applicable thereto, (except as permitted by Sections 6.26 and 6.27 above), and pay all fees or charges
of any kind in connection therewith; (b) keep each Borrowing Base Property occupied so as not to impair the insurance carried thereon, and not use or occupy or conduct any activity on, or allow the use or occupancy of or the conduct of such
activity on, such Borrowing Base Property in any manner which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable, or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto; (c) not
(i) initiate or permit any zoning reclassification of any Borrowing Base Property or seek any variance under existing zoning ordinances applicable to such Borrowing Base Property or (ii) file any plat, condominium declaration, or
restriction, 

  
 88 








 
in each case, that is adverse to the interests of the Loan Parties or use or permit the use of such Borrowing Base Property in such a manner which would result in such use becoming a
nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or other Laws; (d) preserve, protect, renew, extend, and retain all material rights and privileges granted for or applicable to each Borrowing Base Property; and (e) not permit any
drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal or production of any mineral, hydrocarbon, gas, natural element, compound or substance (including sand and gravel) from the surface or subsurface of any Borrowing Base Property regardless of the
depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof. 
 7.19 Leases and Rents. In each case, unless the
failure to do so would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) not default under any Lease which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Property Event, (b) not waive, release, discount, set off, or

give notice to Administrative Agent of any notice of termination of a Management Agreement or Borrowing Base Property to the extent such enforcement is deemed by the Borrower to be prudent under the circumstances and where failure to so enforce the
same could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (v) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants required to be performed under the Agreements relating to the Borrowing Base Property
under the terms and conditions of the applicable Management Agreement, except where failure could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) No Loan Party shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except to the extent any such actions could
not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Property Event: (i) surrender, terminate, or cancel any Management Agreement or otherwise replace the Manager or enter into any other management agreement with respect to any Borrowing Base
Property; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of any Management Agreement; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any management fees under any Management Agreement; or (iv) otherwise modify,

rise to a Default hereunder if the Companies replace the applicable Manager with a Qualified Manager within ninety (90) days following such breach, default, or termination by such Manager;


  
 89 








 
provided, however, that, this clause (c) shall in no way affect the determination as to whether such breach or termination constitutes a Material Property Event.

necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of each Loan Party under each such Franchise Agreement and each License Agreement, in each case relating to a Borrowing Base Property, except to the extent the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) promptly notify Administrative Agent of the giving of any notice to any Loan Party of any default of any Franchise Agreement or any License Agreement, in each case relating to a Borrowing Base Party, on
the part of such Loan Party to deliver to Administrative Agent a true copy of each such notice.

Franchisor. 
 (c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any Loan Party
shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant, or condition of any Franchise Agreement or any License Agreement relating to a Borrowing Base Property to be performed or observed, then, in each case, if the same could
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Property Event, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing any Loan Party from any of their obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall
have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants, and conditions of such Franchise Agreement or such License Agreement on the part of
such Loan Party to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of such Loan Party, to the end that the rights of such Loan Party in, to, and under such Franchise Agreement and such License Agreement shall be kept

and during the continuance of an Event of Default for the purpose of taking any such action. If any Franchisor or any licensee under any License Agreement relating to a Borrowing Base Property shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any
notice sent to any Loan Party of default under such Franchise Agreement or such License Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent in good
faith, in reliance thereon. 

  
 90

Section 7.21 shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Lien of
the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Administrative Agent therefor. 
 (e) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party shall, promptly upon request of Administrative Agent, use diligent good faith efforts to obtain and deliver an

such Franchisor, such licensor or any Loan Party is in default under any of the terms, covenants, or provisions of such Franchise Agreement or License Agreement, and such Franchisor or such licensor knows of no event which, but for the passage of
time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under such Franchise Agreement or License Agreement, (iii) none of such Franchisor, such licensor or any Loan Party has commenced any action or given or received any
notice for the purpose of terminating such Franchise Agreement or License Agreement, and (iv) all sums due and payable to such Franchisor or such licensor under such Franchise Agreement or License Agreement have been paid in full. 

(f) In the event that any Management Agreement also serves as a franchise agreement or contains provisions typically
contained in franchise agreements, then the provisions of this Section 7.21 shall also apply to such Management Agreement. 
 (g) Notwithstanding Sections 7.21(a) or (b) above, no breach or default by any party under a Franchise Agreement nor any termination of a Franchise Agreement shall give
rise to a Default hereunder if the Companies replace the applicable Franchisor with a Qualified Franchisor within ninety (90) days following such breach, default, or termination by such Franchisor; provided, however, that, this
clause (g) shall in no way affect the determination as to whether such breach or termination constitutes a Material Property Event. 
 7.22 Operating Leases. Unless otherwise waived by the parties thereto, in writing:

substantially the same terms as existing prior to such amendment restatement, or renewal), (ii) no Loan Party is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of any Operating Lease


  
 91 








 
and no Operating Lessee knows of any event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under its Operating Lease, (iii) no Loan
Party has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any Operating Lease and (iv) all sums due and payable under any Operating Lease have been paid in full; and

performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to
Administrative Agent. 
 10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and
shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C
Issuer, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan
or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent 

  
 102








 
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 10.05 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the
extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non appealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 

10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 

(a) Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, Parent and
Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Parent and Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such
bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify
Parent, Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C
Issuer directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was
acting as Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under 

  
 103








 
the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make
other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking
or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 10.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or Syndication Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties
or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder. 

10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file
such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the
L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.08 and
11.04 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 11.04. 
 Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of


  
 104








 
any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding. 

10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its
option and in its discretion, 
 (a) To transfer or release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon termination
of the Aggregate Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (other than Letters of Credit as to which other
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
(iii) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders, (iv) after foreclosure or other acquisition of title if approved by the Required Lenders, or (v) that is permitted
or required to be released in accordance with Section 2.17; 
 (b) to release any Guarantor
from its obligations under any Subsidiary Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or ceases to be required to be a Guarantor as a result of a transaction as set forth in Sections 2.17 or 8.04(a); and

 (c) If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by foreclosure or by retention in full or partial
satisfaction of the Obligations, Administrative Agent shall take title to the Collateral in its name or by an Affiliate of Administrative Agent, but for the benefit of all Lenders in their Applicable Percentages on the date of the foreclosure sale
or retention in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations. Administrative Agent and all Lenders hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right of partition with respect to any Collateral so acquired. 

(d) Each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of
Lenders. Except to the extent unanimity is required hereunder, (i) each Lender agrees that any action taken by Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Required Lenders of the powers
set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders, and (ii) each Lender agrees that any action taken by Required Lenders in accordance with
the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. 

(e) Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further
consent from any Lender, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

 (f) Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure
that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or
lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, or 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
granted or available to Administrative Agent in this Section 10.10 or in any of the Security Documents; it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto,
Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may 

  
 105








 
deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender, other than to act without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (g) In furtherance
of the authorizations set forth in this Section 10.10, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and in the name of each such Lender,
(i) to enter into Security Documents (including, without limitation, any appointments of substitute trustees under any Security Document), (ii) to take action with respect to the Collateral and Security Documents to perfect, maintain, and
preserve Lenders’ and the Administrative Agent’s Liens, as applicable, and (iii) to execute instruments of release or to take other action necessary to release Liens upon any Collateral to the extent authorized herein. This power of
attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to Administrative Agent’s power, as attorney, relative to the Collateral matters described in this Section 10.10. The powers and
authorities herein conferred on Administrative Agent may be exercised by Administrative Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an officer of Administrative Agent. The power of attorney conferred by
this Section 10.10 is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall remain unpaid, Lenders are obligated to make any Loans, or the L/C
Issuer is obligated to issue Letters of Credit, under the Loan Documents. 
 (h) To the extent any Lender or any
Affiliate of a Lender issues a Swap Contract in accordance with the requirements of the Loan Documents and accepts the benefits of the Liens in the Collateral arising pursuant to the Security Documents, such Lender (for itself and on behalf of any
such Affiliates) agrees (a) to appoint Administrative Agent, as its nominee and agent, to act for and on behalf of such Lender or Affiliate thereof in connection with the Security Documents and (b) to be bound by the terms of this
Section 10.10; whereupon all references to “Lender” in this Section 10.10 and in the Collateral Documents shall include, on any date of determination, any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender that is party
to a then-effective Swap Contract which complies with the requirements of the Loan Documents. Additionally, if the Obligations owed to any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender consists solely of Indebtedness arising under a Swap Contract (such Lender or
Affiliate being referred to in this Section 10.10 as an “Issuing Lender”), then such Issuing Lender (by accepting the benefits of any Security Documents) acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the Loan Documents and
without notice to or consent of such Issuing Lender: (w) Liens in the Collateral may be released in whole or in part; (x) all Guaranties may be released; (y) any Security Document may be amended, modified, supplemented, or restated;
and (z) all or any part of the Collateral may be permitted to secure other Indebtedness. 
 Upon request by Administrative Agent at any
time, Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this
Section 10.10. 
 Article XI. 
 Miscellaneous 
 11.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by Required Lenders and Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the
case may be, and acknowledged by Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or
consent shall: 

  
 106








 (a) waive any condition set forth in Section 5.01(a)
without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate

the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iv) of the second proviso to this Section 11.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default
Rate” or to waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest or Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate or amend any financial covenant or ratio hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would
be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing or to reduce any fee payable under this Agreement; 
 (e) change Section 9.03 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender; 

(f) change any provision of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or
“Super Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,

 (g) release (i) the Parent Guaranty or all or
substantially all of the value of the Subsidiary Guaranty without the written consent of each Lender, except to the extent the release of any Guarantor is permitted pursuant to Sections 4.08 or 10.10 (in which case such
release may be made by Administrative Agent acting alone) or (ii) all or substantially all of the Collateral; 
 and, provided
further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer Document
relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iii) each letter agreement between Borrower, Administrative Agent, certain Lenders, and Arrangers regarding fees payable with respect to the Obligations may be amended,
or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the
Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any
Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 

  
 107








 and, provided further, that if, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver, or consent (a
“Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or Super Majority Lenders, the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other requisite Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not
obtained as described in this paragraph being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at Borrower’s request, Administrative Agent or an
Eligible Assignee shall have the right (but not the obligation) with Administrative Agent’s approval, to purchase from the Non-Consenting Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall sell, all the Non-Consenting Lenders’
Commitments for an amount equal to the principal balances thereof and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, without premium or discount. Administrative Agent is
irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if such Lender fails to execute same within twenty (20) days of such request of assignment. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently
with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).

extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof),
the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or


  
 111








 
any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.11(d). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor. 

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of Administrative Agent or
the L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 11.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any
Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered
into by Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such
recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer
severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is
made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 11.06 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative
Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section,
(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of
subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto 

  
 112








 
shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)
Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this
subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i) Minimum Amounts. 
 (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of
a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 
 (B) in any case not described in
subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding
balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in
the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee
and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met. 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with
respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; 
 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required
for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or
(2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent
within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; 

  
 113








 (B) the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and 

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding). 
 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the
amount of $3,500; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such
assignment shall be made (A) to Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the
foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person. 
 (vi)
Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein,
the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or
subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the
applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and
(y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of
this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 11.04 with respect to facts and 

  
 114








 
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer
by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. 
 (c) Register.
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting
Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or Borrower, Parent, or any of Borrower’s or Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Limitations upon
Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 3.01 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.


  
 115








 (f) 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 (including under its Note, if any) 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. 

(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at
any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank
of America as L/C Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its
resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).
Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of
credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of
Credit. 
 11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees,
agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to
the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or
any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty
(or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this Section or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is
available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof,
such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to
do so if such Person has 

  
 116








 
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public
information concerning Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance
with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws. 
 11.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by
such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or
office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts
so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other
funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such
Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is
not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout
the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may
be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, and the other Loan
Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it 

  
 117








 
shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document
or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent
and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit
Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 

11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in
this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by Administrative Agent, and the L/C Issuer, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 11.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04,
or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other
circumstance exists hereunder that gives Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
 (a) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b); 

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C
Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (c) in the case of
any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter; and 
 (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 

  
 118








 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto,
as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF PARENT, BORROWER, AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE

OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH OF PARENT, BORROWER, AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN
PARAGRAPH (b) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 
 (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE

11.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY

ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

11.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including
in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Parent, Borrower, and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i)(A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent and each Arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Parent, Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand,
and Administrative Agent and each Arranger, on the other hand, (B) each of Parent, Borrower, and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and
(C) Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii)(A) Administrative Agent and each
Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Parent, Borrower, any other Loan Party, or

other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each of Parent, Borrower, and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent and the
Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 
 11.17 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and
Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 11.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant

set forth in the Credit Agreement. 
 B. As of the date hereof, Guarantor holds directly or indirectly all of the Equity
Interests in Borrower and will benefit from the Credit Parties’ extension of credit to Borrower and the Swap Contracts entered into by any Loan Party with a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (each such counterparty, a “Swap

defined) and hereby agrees as follows: 
 Section 1. NATURE OF GUARANTY. Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees,
as a guarantee of payment and not merely as a guarantee of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all existing and future Obligations including,
without limitation, all indebtedness and liabilities of every kind, nature and character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary, of Borrower to the Credit Parties arising under the Credit
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Swap Contracts (including all renewals, extensions, modifications, amendments, and restatements thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by any Credit Party in connection with the
collection or enforcement thereof) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or
proceeding, and, absent manifest error, shall be binding upon Guarantor and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity, or
enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance
relating to

accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment
of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as any Credit Party in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or
other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the
Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Guarantor. 
 Section 4. CERTAIN
WAIVERS. The Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower, the Guarantor, or any other guarantor (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations have been performed and
indefeasibly paid in cash, to the extent of any such payment), or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Credit Party) of the liability of the Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that the
Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Credit Parties to proceed
against the Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Indebtedness, or pursue any other remedy in the Credit Parties’ power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held
by the Credit Parties; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. The Guarantor
expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor or default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration, and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed
Obligations. The Guarantor waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available to the Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code. As provided below, this Guaranty shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The foregoing waivers and the provisions hereinafter set forth in this Guaranty which pertain to California law are included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall

the Credit Parties exercise their right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or
required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Credit Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if
such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Credit Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of
the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty. 
 Section 7. NO SUBROGRATION. Guarantor shall not
exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid and performed in

 Section 9. EXHAUSTION OF OTHER REMEDIES NOT REQUIRED. Guarantor waives diligence by any of the Credit Parties and action on delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part
thereof, including, without limitation any provisions of law requiring any Credit Party to exhaust any right or remedy or to take any action against Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person, entity, or property before enforcing this

 Section 14. NOTICES. Any notice or other communication herein required or

Section 15. NO WAIVER; ENFORCEABILITY. No failure by any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder 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 or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein.

assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void); and (b) inure to the benefit of each of the Credit Parties and

 Form of Parent Guaranty 







 Section 17. CONDITION OF BORROWER. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole
responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business, and operations of Borrower as Guarantor requires, and that no Credit Party shall have any duty, and Guarantor is
not relying on any Credit Party at any time, to disclose to Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations, or financial condition of Borrower. 
 Section 18. RIGHTS OF SETOFF. If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, then Administrative Agent and each other Credit Party (with the prior consent of Administrative
Agent) may setoff and charge from time to time any amount so due against any or all of Guarantor’s accounts or deposits with Administrative Agent or such other Credit Party. 
 Section 19. OTHER GUARANTIES. Unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or
hereafter given by Guarantor for the benefit of the Credit Parties or any term or provision thereof.

GUARANTOR. Guarantor represents and warrants that, by virtue of its relationship with Borrower, the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty is for the direct benefit of Guarantor and it has received adequate consideration for this
Guaranty. 
 Section 21. ADDITIONAL GUARANTOR WAIVERS AND AGREEMENTS 

(a) The Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if the Credit Parties foreclose judicially or nonjudicially against any real property
security, hereafter existing, for the Guaranteed Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that the Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification from the Borrower or others based on any right the
Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by the Guarantor under this Guaranty. The Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this paragraph, such potential
impairment or destruction of the Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle the Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265
Cal. App. 2d 40 (1968). By executing this Guaranty, the Guarantor freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees that the Guarantor will be fully liable under this Guaranty even though the Credit
Parties may foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust securing the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) agrees that the Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which the
Credit Parties may commence to enforce this Guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by the Guarantor in this Guaranty include any right or defense that the Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based
upon or arising out of any one or more of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or Section 2848 of the California Civil Code; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that the Credit Parties are relying on
this waiver in creating the Guaranteed Obligations, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration which the Credit Parties are receiving for creating the Guaranteed Obligations. 

(b) The Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that the Guarantor may have because of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is hereafter
secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) the Credit Parties may collect from the Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower; and (ii) if the Credit Parties
foreclose on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower: (A) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more
than the sale price, and (B) the Credit Parties may collect from the Guarantor even if the Credit Parties, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, have destroyed any right the Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower. This is an
unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the 

  
 E-1-5

 Form of Parent Guaranty 







 
Guarantor may have because any of the Guaranteed Obligations is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon
Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. 
 (c) The Guarantor waives any right or
defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure. 

Section 22. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC. 
 (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN
NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR
RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY CREDIT PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST
GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 
 (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN
ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SECTION 22(b). EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN
ANY SUCH COURT. 
 (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER
PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.02 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 

(e) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT 

  
 E-1-6

OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 22. 

Section 23. COUNTERPARTS. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 
 Section 24. FINAL
AGREEMENT. THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE CONTRACT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

 NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to the Credit Parties to enter into the Credit Agreement and to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit to Borrower thereunder, and to extend such credit to Borrower as the
Credit Parties may from time to time agree to extend, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations (hereinafter defined) and hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. NATURE OF GUARANTY. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely
and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, as a guarantee of payment and not merely as a guarantee of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any
and all existing and future Obligations including, without limitation, all indebtedness and liabilities of every kind, nature and character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary, of

genuineness, validity, regularity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor,
or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to an aggregate
amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

 Section 2. NO SETOFF OR DEDUCTIONS; TAXES. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that it is incorporated and resident in the

be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Credit Parties are in
possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty. 

Section 7. NO SUBROGRATION. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, or similar rights with respect to any
payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid and performed in full (other than contingent liabilities that survive termination of the Loan Documents)
and any commitments of the Credit Parties or facilities provided by the Credit Parties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts
shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. 

Section 8. WAIVER OF SURETYSHIP DEFENSES. Each Guarantor agrees that the Credit Parties may, at any time and from time to time, and without

payment, compromise, discharge, or release of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral (in whole or in part), or for any modification or amendment of the terms thereof or of any instrument or agreement evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations or
the provision of collateral, all without in any way impairing, releasing, discharging, or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other
defense of Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower, or any claim that any Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrower and waives the benefit of
any statute of limitations affecting the liability of any Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower and waives any benefit of and any right to
participate in any security now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties. Further, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the
risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor. 

Section 9. EXHAUSTION OF OTHER REMEDIES NOT REQUIRED. Each Guarantor waives diligence by any of the Credit Parties and action on delinquency
in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including, without limitation any provisions of law requiring any Credit Party to

Section 10. SUBORDINATION. Each Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of Borrower owing to

Guarantor, (c) held by or are to be held by such Guarantor, (d) created directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise, or (e) evidenced in writing (the “Subordinated Debt”) to the indefeasible payment in full

the Credit Parties’ possession concerning any Guarantor, this Guaranty, and any security for this Guaranty.

 Section 23. ADDITIONAL GUARANTOR WAIVERS AND AGREEMENTS 

(a) Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if the Credit Parties foreclose judicially or nonjudicially against any real
property security, hereafter existing, for the Guaranteed Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that such Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification from the Borrower or others based on any
right such Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Guarantor under this Guaranty. Each Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this paragraph, such
potential impairment or destruction of such Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle such Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted in Union Bank v.
Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2d 40 (1968). By executing this Guaranty, each Guarantor freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees that such Guarantor will be fully liable under this Guaranty even
though the Credit Parties may foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust securing the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) agrees that such Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or
proceeding which the Credit Parties may commence to enforce this Guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by such Guarantor in this Guaranty include any right or defense that such Guarantor may have or be
entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or Section 2848 of the California Civil Code; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that the Credit
Parties are relying on this waiver in creating the Guaranteed Obligations, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration which the Credit Parties are receiving for creating the Guaranteed Obligations. 

(b) Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is hereafter
secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) the Credit Parties may collect from each Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower; and (ii) if the Credit Parties
foreclose on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower: (A) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more
than the sale price, and (B) the Credit Parties may collect from such Guarantor even if the Credit Parties, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, have destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower. This is
an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Guarantor may have because any of the Guaranteed Obligations is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based
upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. 
 (c) Each Guarantor waives any right or
defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure. 

Section 24. RELEASE OF GUARANTORS. Subject to Section 2.17(d) of the Credit Agreement, a Guarantor may be released from its
obligations under this Guaranty by Administrative Agent’s execution of a Release of Guaranty in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or
diminished by the release of any other Guarantor hereunder. 
 Section 25. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC. 

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.


  
 E-2-6

 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY
THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN
RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY CREDIT PARTY
MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 25(b). EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN
SECTION 11.02 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 

(e) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER; AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 25.

 Section 26. COUNTERPARTS. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

CONTRACT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Obligations.

with respect to, any of the Collateral except for the Lien created under the Loan Documents; provided that each Pledgor may sell or dispose of any Collateral so long as such sale or disposition is not otherwise prohibited pursuant to the
Credit Agreement, and upon such permitted sale or disposition any assets so sold or disposed as permitted by this Section 7(a) shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement as provided in Section 17 provided
that the foregoing shall not be construed to limit Pledgor’s rights under Section 8(a)(ii) hereof; or

Section 7(d), promptly upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional shares of stock or other securities or interests of each issuer of Pledged Shares or Pledged Interests. 

(c) Pledge Amendments. Each Pledgor shall, upon obtaining any additional shares of stock or other securities or interests

Interests to be pledged pursuant to this Agreement. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes Secured Party to attach each Pledge and Security Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Shares
listed on any Pledge and Security Amendment delivered to Secured Party shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Collateral; provided that, the failure of any Pledgor to execute a Pledge and Security Amendment with respect to any
additional Pledged Shares pledged pursuant to this Agreement shall not impair the Lien of Secured Party therein or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder with respect thereto. 

(d) Further Assurances Perfection. Each Pledgor shall from time to time, at the expense of Pledgors, promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any Lien granted or purported to be granted hereby or to
enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor will:

title to or Secured Party’s Lien in all or any part of the Collateral. 
 (e) Authorization to File Financing

 (i) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing or
continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to and limited to all or any part of the Collateral, in such filing offices as Secured Party shall deem appropriate, and each Pledgor shall authenticate and deliver to Secured Party such
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, promptly upon the request of Secured Party and, shall pay Secured Party’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. 

(ii) Each Pledgor hereby further authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and
amendments thereto, relative to and limited to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that a carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement
authenticated by such Pledgor shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed as a financing statement in any and all jurisdictions.

or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents; 

(ii) each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain, and to utilize free and clear of the Lien of this Agreement,
any and all dividends, cash, warrants, rights, instruments, and other property or proceeds from time to time received or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any Collateral; provided, however, that any and all such
dividends, distributions, property or proceeds paid or payable on the Collateral in the form of additional securities of a Pledgee Subsidiary shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Secured Party to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by
any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor and be forthwith delivered to Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so received (with all necessary
endorsements); and 
 (iii) Secured Party shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to Pledgors all such proxies, dividend payment orders, and other instruments as any Pledgor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it is
entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividend payments which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above. 

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default: 

(i) upon written notice from Secured Party to Pledgors, all rights of any Pledgor to exercise the voting and other
consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise
such voting and other consensual rights; 
 (ii) all rights of any Pledgor to receive the dividends, cash,
warrants, rights, instruments, and other property or proceeds in respect of or in exchange for any Collateral which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) shall cease, and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividend payments; and 
 (iii) all dividends, cash, warrants, rights, instruments, and other property or proceeds in respect of or in exchange for any Collateral which are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of
paragraph (ii) of this Section 8(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall forthwith be paid over to Secured Party as
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

 Form of Pledge Agreement 







 (c) In order to permit Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights
which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(b)(i) and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive under Section 8(a)(ii) or
Section 8(b)(ii), (i) each Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Secured Party all such proxies, dividend payment orders, and other instruments as Secured Party may from time to
time reasonably request, and (ii) without limiting the effect of the immediately preceding clause (i), each Pledgor hereby grants to Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Shares and to exercise all other rights,
powers, privileges, and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Shares would be entitled (including, without limitation, giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, calling special meetings of shareholders, and voting at such
meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Shares on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Shares
or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (except for contingent obligations that survive termination of the Loan Documents)
or waiver or cure of such Default. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that this Agreement shall
not in any way be deemed to obligate Secured Party or any Lender to assume any of such Pledgor’s obligations, duties, expenses, or liabilities arising out of this Agreement (including, without limitation, such Pledgor’s obligations as the
holder of the Pledged Shares and as holder of the Pledged Interests) or under any and all other agreements now existing or hereafter drafted or executed (collectively, the “Pledgor Obligations”) unless Secured Party otherwise
expressly agrees to assume any or all of said Pledgor Obligations in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the grant of the Lien in the Collateral in favor of Secured Party as provided herein nor the exercise by Secured
Party of any of its rights hereunder nor any action by Secured Party in connection with a foreclosure on the Collateral shall be deemed to constitute Secured Party as a partner of any partnership or a member of any limited liability company;
provided, however, that in the event Secured Party elects to become a substituted partner of any partnership or a member of any limited liability company in place of Pledgor while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured
Party shall be entitled to and shall become such a substitute partner or member. 
 9. Secured Party Appointed
Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, Secured Party or otherwise, from
time to time in Secured Party’s discretion: 
 (a) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto, relative to and limited to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Pledgor; 
 (b) subsequent to the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive, and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; 

(c) subsequent to the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to receive, endorse, and collect any instruments
made payable to any Pledgor representing any dividend payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same; and 

  
 F-8

 Form of Pledge Agreement 







 (d) subsequent to the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to file
any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral.

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

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

12. Remedies. 
 (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and Secured Party may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified
below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, at such time
or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. Secured Party or any Lender may be the purchaser of
any or all of the Collateral at any such public sale and Secured Party, as agent for and representative of Lenders, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the
Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property
sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay, and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future
have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the applicable Pledgor of the time and place
of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to time 

  
 F-9

 Form of Pledge Agreement 







 
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims
against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first
offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree; provided however, that Pledgors do not waive the requirements of Section 9-610 of the Code with respect to any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
that is conducted under such Section. 
 (b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in
the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral conducted
without prior registration or qualification of such Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions
(including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Pledgor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner and that Secured Party shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of
public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. 
 (c) If Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral, then upon Secured Party’s written request, each Pledgor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged
Shares to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Secured Party all such information as Secured Party may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Collateral which may be sold by Secured
Party in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 

13. Application of Proceeds. All proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be held and applied in accordance with the Credit Agreement. 
 14.
Indemnity and Expenses. 
 (a) EACH PLEDGOR AGREES TO INDEMNIFY SECURED PARTY AND EACH LENDER FROM AND AGAINST
ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, AND LIABILITIES IN ANY WAY RELATING TO, GROWING OUT OF, OR RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH
CLAIMS, LOSSES, OR LIABILITIES RESULT FROM SECURED PARTY’S OR SUCH LENDER’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. 

(b) Pledgors shall pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and
expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that 

  
 F-10

 Form of Pledge Agreement 







 
Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any
of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. 

15. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans. This Agreement shall create a continuing Lien in the Collateral and
shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Obligations (except for contingent obligations that survive termination of the Loan Documents), the termination of the obligations of Lenders to advance Borrowings or
issue Letters of Credit under the Loan Documents, and the expiration of all Letters of Credit and all Swap Contracts, (b) be binding upon each Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of
Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and each Lender, and their respective successors, transferees, and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), but subject to the relevant provisions of
the Loan Documents, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Secured Obligations held by it to any other Person to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in
respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations (except for contingent obligations that survive termination of the Loan Documents), the termination of the obligations of Lenders to
advance Borrowings or issue Letters of Credit under the Loan Documents, and the expiration of all Letters of Credit and all Swap Contracts, the Lien granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgors
(provided that, if an Event of Default then exists, such termination and reversion shall not occur until such time as no Event of Default is continuing). Upon any such termination Secured Party will, at Pledgors’ expense, execute and
deliver to Pledgors such documents as Pledgors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and Pledgors shall be entitled to the return, upon their request and at their expense, against receipt and without recourse to Secured Party, of
such Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 16. Additional Pledgor
Subsidiaries. In accordance with Section 2.17(c) of the Credit Agreement, certain additional Subsidiaries of Parent may from time to time become parties hereto as additional Pledgor Subsidiaries (an “Additional Pledgor
Subsidiary”), and such Additional Pledgor Subsidiary and any applicable Issuer not already a party to this Agreement, shall enter into a joinder hereto, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, together with all
certificates and instruments representing shares of stock or other equity interests, and listing the Collateral to be pledged by such Additional Pledgor Subsidiary. 
 17. Release of Collateral. Collateral shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement upon any of the following events: (i) any sale or disposition of such Collateral as permitted by
Section 7(a) of this Agreement or Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement; (ii) any release of the Lien in such Collateral by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.17(d) and 4.08 of the
Credit Agreement; or (iii) upon termination of Lien pursuant to Section 15. Upon any release of Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Section 17, (i) Secured Party shall thereupon return to the
respective Pledgor or to its order any and all certificates and other instruments evidencing or relating to such released Collateral and (ii) Secured Party will, at Pledgors’ expense, file, or will authorize the respective Pledgor to file,
an amendment or termination to any financing statement releasing such Collateral. 
 18. Amendments; Etc. No
amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Pledgor from the terms and conditions hereof, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
Secured Party 

  
 F-11

 Form of Pledge Agreement 







 
and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Pledgors. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was
given. 
 19. Notices. Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in
writing and shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. 
 20.
Control Agreement; Acknowledgement by Issuers. 
 (a) Pledgors hereby authorize and instruct each Issuer to
comply, and each Issuer hereby agrees to so comply, with any instruction received thereby from Secured Party with respect to the Collateral, without any consent or further instructions from Pledgors (or other registered owner), and Pledgors agree
that such Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying. 
 (b) Each Issuer acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement
and agrees to be bound thereby and to comply with the terms thereof insofar as such terms are applicable to it. Each Issuer further agrees that upon request by Administrative Agent after the occurrence of an Event of Default, upon receipt of notice
from Secured Party, such Issuer shall pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to any Pledged Shares or Pledged Interests directly to Administrative Agent. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably agrees not to vote to amend, and each
Issuer hereby irrevocably agrees not to amend (i) the applicable Issuer’s Formation Agreements to provide that its Equity Interests are securities governed by Article 8 of the Code or (ii) the applicable Issuer’s Article 8 Opt-In
Provisions of the applicable Issuer’s Formation Agreements, and each Pledgor and each Issuer hereby agrees and acknowledges that any such vote shall be invalid and any such amendment shall be void ab initio. 

21. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise
of any power, right, or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right, or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right, or privilege preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. 

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

23. Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and
shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
