 The Applicable Margin shall be determined and adjusted quarterly on the date (each a “Calculation Date”)

(a) the Applicable Margin shall be based on Pricing Level IV until the first Calculation Date with respect to the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2012 and, thereafter the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the

is outstanding when such inaccuracy is discovered or such financial statement or Officer’s Compliance Certificate was delivered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period
(an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (A) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Officer’s Compliance Certificate for such
Applicable Period, (B) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be determined as if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio in the corrected Officer’s Compliance Certificate were applicable for such Applicable Period, and

Sections 5.1(c) and 10.2 nor any of their other rights under this Agreement. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitment and the repayment of all other Obligations
hereunder.

shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred at any time under such Sections.

 REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY 

SECTION 2.1 Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in
reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower in Dollars or Alternative Currencies from time to time from the Closing Date through, but not including,
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as requested by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3; provided, that (a) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment,
(b) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not at any time exceed such 

  
 -37-









 
Lender’s Commitment and (c) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of all Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Loan Commitment.
Each Revolving Credit Loan by a Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans requested on such occasion. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 
 SECTION 2.2 Swingline Loans. 
 (a) Availability. Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may in its sole discretion make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time from the Closing Date through, but not including, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date;
provided, that (a) after giving effect to any amount requested, the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment and (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans
(after giving effect to any amount requested), shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment. 
 (b) Refunding. 

(i) Swingline Loans shall be refunded by the Lenders in Dollars on demand by the Swingline Lender (and
the Swingline Lender shall demand such refunding no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date such Swingline Loan was advanced) in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders
on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall fund its respective Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as required to repay Swingline Loans outstanding to the Swingline Lender upon demand by the Swingline Lender
but in no event later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is made. No Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s
failure to fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Lender’s Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan. 

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts
received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the Borrower
with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding
Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so
recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower pertain to a Swingline Loan extended after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 11.3 and which such Event of Default has not been waived by the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as
applicable). 

  
 -38-









 (iii) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund
Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Article VI. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section, one of the events described in Section 10.1(i) or (j) shall have
occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Revolving Credit Loan would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the Swingline Loan to be refunded in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the aggregate
amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate
evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline
Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded). 
 (c) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section 2.2 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.14 and Section 5.15. 
 SECTION 2.3 Procedure for Advances of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans. 
 (a) Requests for Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of
Borrowing”) not later than 12:00 p.m. (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars and each Swingline Loan, (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in
Dollars and (iii) at least four (4) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, of its intention to borrow, specifying (A) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the
amount of such borrowing, which shall be, (x) with respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (y) with respect to LIBOR Rate
Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (z) with respect to Swingline Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof,
(C) whether such Loan is to be a Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan, (D) in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan, whether the Loans are to be LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, and (E) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the
duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. A Notice of Borrowing received after 12:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing.


  
 -39-









 (b) Disbursement of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans. Not later than
2:00 p.m. on the proposed borrowing date, (A) each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in funds immediately available to the Administrative
Agent in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made on such borrowing date and (B) the Swingline Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, the Swingline Loans to be made on such borrowing date. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section in immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the Borrower identified in the most recent notice
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C (a “Notice of Account Designation”) delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent
from time to time. Subject to Section 5.7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section to the extent that any Lender has
not made available to the Administrative Agent its Commitment Percentage of such Loan. Revolving Credit Loans to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Lenders as provided in Section 2.2(b). 

SECTION 2.4 Repayment and Prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans. 

(a) Repayment on Termination Date. The Borrower hereby agrees to repay the outstanding principal amount of (i) all Revolving
Credit Loans in full on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and (ii) all Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(b) (but, in any event, no later than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), together, in each case, with all
accrued but unpaid interest thereon. 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) If at any time: 
 (A) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Outstandings at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of Aggregate Commitment, or 

(B) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of all Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds
an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Loan Commitment, 
 the Borrower agrees to repay immediately
upon notice from the Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Extensions of Credit in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Dollar Equivalent Amount of (x) such Outstandings as of such
date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Aggregate Commitment or (y) such Revolving Credit Loans as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Alternative Currency Loan Commitment, in each case, with each such
repayment applied first, to the principal 

  
 -40-









 amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, second to the principal amount of outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans and third, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, as a payment of Cash Collateral with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding into a Cash Collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Lenders, in an amount equal to such excess (such Cash Collateral to be applied in accordance with Section 10.2(b)). 
 (ii) If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition or Insurance and Condemnation Event (other than any Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to, and in
accordance with, Sections 9.5(a) through (e)) and any such transaction results in the receipt by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of aggregate Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 in any Fiscal Year (any such transaction or
series of related transactions being a “Relevant Transaction”), the Borrower shall (A) give written notice to the Administrative Agent thereof promptly after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds and (B) except to
the extent the Borrower elects in such notice to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds as provided below, make mandatory prepayments of Loans and/or Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations in the order set forth in
clause (i) above in amounts equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received from such Relevant Transaction within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Subsidiary; provided that, at the option
of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business within 365 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, has contractually committed in writing within 365 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds, 547 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds); provided further, that if any
such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be so reinvested at any time after the occurrence of the Relevant Transaction, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of Loans and/or Cash
Collateralize L/C Obligations in the order set forth in clause (i) above. 
 (c) Optional Prepayments.
The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit D (a “Notice of Prepayment”) given not later than 12:00 p.m. (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before
each LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice. Partial prepayments shall be in an
aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof with respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans and $100,000
or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Swingline Loans. A Notice of Prepayment received after 12:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount
required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Notice of a Prepayment delivered in connection with any refinancing of all of the Revolving Credit Facility with the proceeds of such refinancing or
of any incurrence of Indebtedness, may be, if expressly so stated to be, contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing or incurrence and may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such refinancing is not consummated (provided that the
failure of such contingency shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations in respect thereof under Section 5.9). 

  
 -41-









 (d) Limitation on Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrower may not prepay any
LIBOR Rate Loan on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof. 

SECTION 2.5 Permanent Reduction of the Aggregate Commitment. 

(a) Voluntary Reduction. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business
Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the Aggregate Commitment at any time or (ii) portions of the Aggregate Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal
amount not less than $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Commitment Percentage; provided that no such
reduction, in whole or in part, of the Aggregate Commitment shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans and/or deposit of Cash Collateral with the Administrative Agent to collateralize the L/C Obligations
made concurrently pursuant to clause (b) below, the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitment. All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any reduction, in whole or in part, of the
Aggregate Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 (b) Corresponding Payment. Each
permanent reduction permitted pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations, as applicable, after such reduction to
the Aggregate Commitment as so reduced and if the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the Aggregate Commitment as so reduced, the Borrower shall be required to deposit in Dollars the Dollar Equivalent
Amount of Cash Collateral in a Cash Collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to such excess. Such Cash Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 10.2(b). Any reduction of the Aggregate
Commitment to zero shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Obligations (and the furnishing of Cash Collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the L/C Obligations at such time) and shall result in the termination of the Aggregate Commitment
and the Swingline Commitment and the Revolving Credit Facility. If the reduction of the Agreement Commitment requires the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to
Section 5.9 hereof. 
 SECTION 2.6 Termination of Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility
and the Aggregate Commitment shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the
agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or (without limiting the Borrower’s obligations with respect thereunder under Section 3.5 or
otherwise) any of its Subsidiaries in Dollars or in Alternative Currencies on any Business Day from the Closing Date through but not including the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by
such Issuing Lender; provided, however, that the applicable Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (a) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment;
provided that any Issuing Lender may issue a Letter of Credit in excess of the L/C Commitment if (x) the term of such Letter of Credit is less than one (1) year from the date of issuance and (y) after giving effect to such
issuance, the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Outstandings would not exceed the Aggregate Commitment or (b) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be a
standby letter of credit or bank guarantee issued to support obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, (ii) expire on a date no later than the earlier of (A) the fourth anniversary of the date of
issuance and (B) June 1, 2018; provided, that (x) any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in
subclause (B) above) and (y) no later than five (5) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize in Dollars each Letter of Credit, if any, with an expiration date after the Revolving

such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also
include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, except (x) any technical or non-substantive modifications or amendments, as determined in the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Lender or (y) as the context
may otherwise require. As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder. 

(b) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Article III shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.14 and Section 5.15. 

  
 -43-









 SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower may
from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (with a copy delivered to the Administrative Agent’s Office) a
Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Letter
of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Lender shall process such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures
and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article VI, promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business
Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as
otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
of the issuance and upon request by any Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Revolving Credit Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s participation therein. 

(b) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable
Issuing Lender has received written notice from the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article VI shall not
then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary of the Borrower) in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth herein and otherwise in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices. 
 SECTION 3.3 Commissions and Other Charges. 
 (a) Letter of Credit
Commissions. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amount equal to (i) the daily
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit times (ii) the Applicable Margin applicable to Performance Letters of Credit or Financial Letters of Credit, respectively. Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to each Issuing Lender and
the L/C Participants all commissions received pursuant to this Section 3.3 in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. 
 (b) Issuance Fee. In addition to the foregoing commission, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Lender, an issuance fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender
(i) with respect to Wells Fargo, as an Issuing Lender, as set forth in the Fee Letter or (ii) with respect to each other Issuing Lender, as separately agreed between the Borrower and 

  
 -44-









 such Issuing Lender. Such issuance fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of
each calendar quarter commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. 

(c) Other Costs. In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for
such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 

SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations. 
 (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably
agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s
Commitment Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C
Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender upon demand an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount (as determined by such
Issuing Lender) of such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed. 
 (b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by
such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent shall notify each L/C Participant of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay in Dollars to such
Issuing Lender the Dollar Equivalent Amount (as determined by such Issuing Lender) of the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender after the
date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily
average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate distributed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts
owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the applicable Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such
payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day. 

  
 -45-









 (c) Whenever, at any time after the applicable Issuing Lender has made payment under any
Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and has received from any L/C Participant its Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section, such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether
directly from the Borrower or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment
received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it. 

SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees
to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars (by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Issuing Lender) on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and the Dollar Equivalent Amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the Dollar Equivalent Amount of
(a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment; provided, however, that if such notification is delivered by such Issuing
Lender after 12:00 p.m. on any date of payment, then the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on the next succeeding Business Day. Unless the Borrower shall immediately notify the applicable Issuing Lender that the Borrower intends to
reimburse such Issuing Lender for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Lenders make a Dollar-denominated Revolving Credit
Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate on such date in the Dollar Equivalent Amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment,
and the Lenders shall make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with this Section to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article VI. If the Borrower has elected to pay the
amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender as provided above, the unreimbursed Dollar Equivalent Amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any
outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full. 
 SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender or any 

  
 -46-









 beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees that the Issuing Lenders and
the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon,
even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any
claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or
advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by any such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
nonappealable judgment. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the Borrower. The responsibility of each Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any
draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft)
delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.6 to the contrary, the Borrower may have a claim against such Issuing
Lender, and such Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary) damages suffered by the Borrower which a court of competent
jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable judgment were caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or such Issuing Lender’s bad faith or willful or grossly negligent 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. 
 SECTION 3.7 Effect of Letter of Credit Application. To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this
Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply. 
 ARTICLE IV 

COLLATERAL 

SECTION 4.1 Perfection Trigger Event. On and after the Closing Date and on and after each Release Date, the Obligations will be
unsecured and remain unsecured (other than with respect to Cash Collateral as provided in other Articles of this Agreement) unless and until, subject to Section 4.3(d), a Perfection Trigger Event occurs, upon the occurrence of which, the
Obligations shall be secured by (a) a perfected first priority Lien (or a preferred Ship Mortgage, as the case may be) on Designated Vessels of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors that (i) as of the Closing Date, have an OLV of at
least $260,000,000 in the aggregate and (ii) as of each Increased Amount Date, have an OLV equal to at least 1.5 times the Aggregate Commitment after giving effect to the related Incremental Commitment Increases, in each case,


  
 -47-









 according to the appraisal performed prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Designated Vessels
covered thereby and, with respect to any other Designated Vessels, an appraisal performed by an Approved Appraiser, (b) a perfected Lien on all accounts receivables of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors arising out of the rendering of
services by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary Guarantor in the United States (subject only to Permitted Liens) and (c) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (clauses (a) through (c), collectively, the
“Collateral”). The Administrative Agent shall not, nor shall the Required Lenders direct the Administrative Agent to, deliver a Perfection Trigger Notice to the Borrower or the Escrow Agent, unless (x) one or more of the events
described in clauses (a)(i) through (a)(iii) of the definition of Perfection Trigger Event shall have occurred and (y) if such Perfection Trigger Notice is to be delivered solely on the basis of the event described in clause (a)(ii)
of the definition of Perfection Trigger Event, the conditions set forth in the proviso in the definition of Perfection Trigger Notice permitting the delivery of such notice shall have been satisfied. Upon the occurrence of a Perfection Trigger Event
and the delivery of the Escrowed Documents by the Escrow Agent to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions as may be necessary or advisable, in its sole
determination, to perfect such Liens in the Collateral, as soon as practicable following its receipt of the Escrowed Documents from the Escrow Agent. 
 SECTION 4.2 Substitution of Collateral. The Borrower may at any time (including prior to the commencement of a Perfection Period) provide flag vessels in substitution (“Substituted
Vessels”) for any Designated Vessel subject to, or that may become subject to, the Lien on the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, upon a Perfection Trigger Event in accordance with the
Security Documents; provided, that (a) the aggregate OLV of all Designated Vessels, after giving effect to the Substituted Vessels, is equal to at least (i) prior to the first Incremental Commitment Increase, $260,000,000 and
(ii) on and after each Incremental Commitment Increase, 1.5 times the Aggregate Commitment, immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment Increase; provided, that the OLV of the Substituted Vessels shall be
determined by an appraisal from an Approved Appraiser conducted within 90 days (or such earlier date as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) prior to the related Increased Amount Date and (b) prior to giving
effect to the substitution of Substituted Vessels, the Borrower shall execute and deliver, or cause the other Credit Parties to execute and deliver, Ship Mortgages and other additional Security Documents (including, without limitation, such
opinions, resolutions, certificates and other instruments related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent with respect to each Substituted Vessel to (x) at all times
prior to the Springing Lien Termination Date (other than during a Perfection Period), the Escrow Agent and (y) at all times during a Perfection Period, the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 4.3 Release of Collateral. (a) If at any time a Perfection Trigger Event has occurred and the Administrative Agent
maintains perfected Liens in any of the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents, such Liens shall be (subject to the proviso below) released and terminated on the date (a “Release Date”) on which the Administrative Agent (in
its sole determination) confirms in writing (such written confirmation not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Borrower, following the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate executed by the chief financial officer or
treasurer of the Borrower certifying clauses (i) and (ii) below, that: 

  
 -48-









 (i) No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and 

(ii) The Borrower has maintained a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio less than or equal to the Trigger Leverage Ratio for
the two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended with respect to which financial statements have been delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or (b) and is projected to maintain a Consolidated
Total Leverage Ratio less than or equal to the Trigger Leverage Ratio for the next two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters; 
 provided,
however, that the release of the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral and the occurrence of the Release Date shall be further conditioned upon (x) if at the time any Surety has perfected a Lien on any of the Collateral,
such Surety has terminated or, concurrently with the Administrative Agent, will terminate such perfection or (y) if at the time no Surety has perfected a Lien on any of the Collateral, no Surety has notified the Administrative Agent of its
intention to perfect a Lien on any of the Collateral. 
 (b) As soon as practicable after the Release Date, if any, and the
termination by each Surety of the perfection of its respective Liens on the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver such agreements, documents and instruments, in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to evidence and effect the release and termination of the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral. 

(c) On each Release Date occurring prior to the Springing Lien Termination Date, the Borrower shall, and shall cause its Credit Parties
to, execute and deliver (i) to the Escrow Agent (and shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent) new Security Documents, including, without limitation, new Ship Mortgages, a new Receivables Security Agreement and all
other agreements, documents and instruments (collectively, the “Replacement Escrowed Documents”) in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to evidence each such Credit Party’s prospective grant and
perfection of Liens on the Property that would constitute Collateral and (ii) to the Administrative Agent, all opinions, resolutions, certificates and other instruments reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
delivery of the Escrowed Documents. 
 (d) On and after the Springing Lien Termination Date, (i) this
Article IV and all other provisions hereunder and under the other Loan Documents relating to a Perfection Trigger Event shall be of no further force or effect, (ii) to the extent that the Administrative Agent has perfected its Lien
on the Collateral, all such Liens shall be released and terminated and (iii) the appointment of the Escrow Agent and the arrangements set forth under the Escrow Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect in accordance with
the terms thereunder. The Obligations shall thereafter remain unsecured (other than with respect to Cash Collateral that may be required pursuant to other Articles of this Agreement). As soon as practicable after Administrative Agent receives notice
from the Borrower that the Springing Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, (i) execute and deliver such agreements, documents and instruments as the Borrower may
reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to evidence and effect the release and termination of the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral and to terminate the Security
Documents and (ii) execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, jointly with the Borrower, a notice in the form of Exhibit B-2 attached to the Escrow Agreement. 

  
 -49-









 SECTION 4.4 Escrow Agent. The Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent a copy of the Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the Escrow Agent shall deliver, notwithstanding any contrary instructions delivered by the Borrower or any other Person, the Escrowed Documents to the Administrative Agent within
three (3) Business Days of the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a Perfection Trigger Notice from the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 4.5 Appraisals. To the extent that no Release Date has occurred prior to the one-year anniversary of the commencement of
any Perfection Period, the Borrower shall, upon written request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, promptly deliver (but in no event more than 45 days (or, at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, no more than
60 days) after the receipt of the Administrative Agent’s or the Required Lender’s, as applicable, request) to the Administrative Agent updated appraisals of the Designated Vessels from an Approved Appraiser in similar form and scope
as the appraisals delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(iv); provided, that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Required Lenders may request updated appraisals more often than once during any
calendar year. 
 SECTION 4.6 Further Assurances. (a) During each Perfection Period, the Borrower shall maintain the
security interest created by the Security Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, subject to the rights of the Credit Parties to dispose of the Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents or substitute certain Collateral pursuant to
Section 4.2. 
 (b) (i) At all times after the Closing Date, regardless of the occurrence of any Perfection Period,
the Borrower shall, and shall cause each Credit Party to, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further agreements, instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (through the Administrative Agent) may
reasonably require for the purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) at all times prior to the Springing Lien Termination Date, the Borrower shall, and shall cause each
Credit Party to, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further agreements, instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (through the Administrative Agent) may reasonably require for the purposes of
renewing the rights of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral pledged, or to be pledged to, the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, including, without limitation, (A) authorizing the filing of any
financing or continuation statements under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created by the Loan Documents upon the occurrence of any Perfection Trigger Event and (B) executing
amendments to the Ship Mortgages to provide for any changes in the Applicable Law governing the security interests in, and Liens on, any of the Designated Vessels pledged thereunder, or to provide for any change in the nature of any of the
Collateral or Property that would constitute Collateral that may affect the creation or perfection of any security interests or Liens of the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -50-









 (c) Each Credit Party agrees to take any and all actions necessary to defend title to the
Collateral or Property that would constitute Collateral against all Persons, and at all times during a Perfection Period, to defend the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in the Collateral and the priority
thereof against any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 4.7 Collateral Covenants. At all times prior to the
Springing Lien Termination Date, each Credit Party: 
 (a) will not transfer or change the flag of, or change the vessel name or
vessel number of, any of the Designated Vessels without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not grant any such written consent unless (i) the Administrative Agent is
satisfied that all actions necessary or desirable have been taken so that after giving effect to the proposed transfer or change, the Ship Mortgage related to such Designated Vessel, as modified to reflect such transfer or change, is in the form
required pursuant to Section 7.12 and benefits to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Designated Vessel at least as favorable as those granted to the Administrative Agent under the original Ship Mortgage or (ii) the
related Credit Party provides Substituted Vessel(s) in substitution of such Designated Vessel that are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and have an aggregate OLV reasonably equal to or greater than (or such lesser OLV as reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent) the OLV of such Designated Vessel; provided, further, that any such consent, once obtained shall not be construed to be a waiver of this provision with respect to any subsequent proposed transfer
or change of flag, or change in the vessel name or vessel number; 
 (b) will not (i) cause or permit any Designated Vessel
to be operated in any manner contrary to law, (ii) engage in any unlawful trade or violate any law or expose any Designated Vessel to penalty or forfeiture, except where any such operation, engagement, violation or exposure could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) do, or suffer or permit to be done, anything which can or may injuriously affect, in any material respect, the registration, documentation or trade endorsement of a Designated Vessel under
the laws and regulations of the United States, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, or such other jurisdiction governing the documentation or registration of such Designated Vessel; 

(c) in the event that any claim or lien is asserted against any Designated Vessel for loss, damage or expense which is covered by
insurance required hereunder, and it is necessary for such Credit Party to obtain a bond or supply other security to prevent arrest of such Designated Vessel or to release the Designated Vessel from arrest on account of such claim or lien, shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any such arrest or threatened arrest and within thirty (30) days, cause such Designated Vessel to be released by posting security or otherwise; 

(d) will not (i) do or permit or willingly allow to be done any act to cause any insurance required by the terms of this Agreement
or any Ship Mortgage to be suspended, impaired or cancelled, and (ii) permit or allow any Designated Vessel to undertake any voyage or run any risk or transport any cargo or passengers which may not be permitted by the policies in force,
without having previously insured such Designated Vessel by additional coverage extending to such voyages, risks, passengers or cargos; 

  
 -51-









 (e) shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the actual or constructive total loss
of a Designated Vessel or the agreed or compromised total loss of a Designated Vessel, or the arrest capture, condemnation, confiscation, registration, seizure or forfeiture of a Designated Vessel; 

(f) shall keep its chief executive office and the offices where it keeps its records concerning the “Account Collateral” (as
defined in the Receivables Security Agreement) at the location specified in the Receivables Security Agreement or, upon reasonable (but in any event, not less than 7 days’) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, at such other
locations in a jurisdiction where all action that may be reasonably necessary or desirable or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to, upon the occurrence of a Perfection Trigger Event, perfect and protect any security
interest granted or purported to be granted thereunder, or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies under the Receivables Security Agreement with respect to such Account Collateral; and 

(g) except upon reasonable (but in any event, not less than 7 days’) prior written notice to Administrative Agent, will not
change its legal name or organizational identification number, if any, or corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other organizational structure to such an extent that any UCC financing statement included in the Escrowed Documents in
connection with this Agreement would become seriously misleading. 
 ARTICLE V 

GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS 
 SECTION 5.1 Interest. 
 (a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the
provisions of this Section, at the election of the Borrower, (i) Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin
(provided that the LIBOR Rate shall not be available until three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date unless the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 5.9 of this Agreement) and (ii) any Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower shall select
the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 5.2. Any Loan or any portion thereof as
to which the Borrower has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan. 
 (b)
Interest Periods. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower, by giving notice at the times described in Section 2.3 or 5.2, as applicable, shall elect an interest period (each, an “Interest
Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be a period of one (1), two (2), three (3), or six (6) months or, if agreed by all of the relevant Lenders, nine (9) or twelve (12) months; provided
that: 

  
 -52-









 (i) the Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of or
conversion to any LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the immediately preceding Interest Period expires; 

(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire
on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such
month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day; 
 (iii) any Interest Period
with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day
of the relevant calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; 
 (iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; and 
 (v) there shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods in
effect at any time. 
 (c) Default Rate. Subject to Section 10.3, (i) immediately upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(a), (b), (i) or (j), or (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of
Default, (A) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to request LIBOR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit, (B) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of
the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then
applicable to Base Rate Loans, (C) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including
the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (D) all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on demand of the Administrative Agent.
Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

 (d) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last
Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing June 30, 2012; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three
(3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. All computations of interest 

  
 -53-









 for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime 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 provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as
applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year). 
 (e) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or
event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall
automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful
rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations on a pro rata basis. It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive
or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. 
 SECTION 5.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall have the option to
(a) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in
excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans and (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000
in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or (ii) continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans. Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent irrevocable (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 12:00 p.m. three
(3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued,
the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period
to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation. Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan at
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto. 

  
 -54-









 SECTION 5.3 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fee. Commencing on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment of the Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders, if
any); provided, that the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans shall not be considered usage of the Aggregate Commitment for the purpose of calculating the Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business
Day of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing June 30, 2012 and ending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Such commitment fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (other than any
Defaulting Lender) pro rata in accordance with such Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentages. 
 (b) Other
Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. The 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. 
 SECTION 5.4 Manner of Payment.

 (a) Sharing of Payments. Each payment by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of
any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment, not later than
2:00 p.m. at the Administrative Agent’s Office on the date specified for payment under this Agreement, in immediately available funds (i) with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, in the type of
currency in which Revolving Credit Loan was made or (ii) with respect to all other Extensions of Credit, in Dollars, and shall be made without any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before
3:00 p.m. on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 10.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after
3:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Revolving Credit Loan in any Alternative Currency, the
Borrower is prohibited by any Applicable Law from making any payment required hereunder to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in the type of currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan was made, then all payments to be made by
the Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrower
takes all risks of the imposition of any such Applicable Law. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its Commitment
Percentage in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent on account of the
principal of or interest on the Swingline Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Swingline Lender shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Swingline Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the
Issuing Lenders fees or L/C Participants’ 

  
 -55-









 commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender or the L/C
Participants, as the case may be. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 5.9,
5.10, 5.11 or 12.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender. Subject to Section 5.1(b)(ii), if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which
is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment. 

(b) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a), if there exists a Defaulting Lender each payment by
the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.14(b). 
 SECTION 5.5
Evidence of Indebtedness. 
 (a) Extensions of Credit. The Extensions of Credit made by each Lender shall be
evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent
manifest error of the amount of the Extensions of Credit made by the Lenders to the 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 the
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 the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters,
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note and/or Swingline Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach
schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b)
Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in clause (a), each Lender and the 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 and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such
matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
 SECTION 5.6
Adjustments. 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 its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Sections 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 or 12.3) greater than its
pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the 

  
 -56-









 Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Loans and such other 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 Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that 
 (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and 

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the 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), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 5.14 or
(C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 
 Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees,
to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation. 
 SECTION 5.7
Obligations of Lenders. 
 (a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Sections 2.3(b) and 4.2 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in
fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the
daily average Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to
Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the
Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be
without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -57-









 (b) Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit. The obligations
of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are neither joint nor joint and several. The failure of any Lender to make available its Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested
by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date. 
 SECTION 5.8 Changed Circumstances.

 (a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. In connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base
Rate Loan as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to LIBOR or a conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall
be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or any Base Rate Loan as to which the interest
rate is determined with reference to LIBOR or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such
circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loan as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to LIBOR and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as
a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to LIBOR shall be suspended, and (i) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrower shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in
full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 5.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; or
(B) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as to which the interest rate is not determined by reference to LIBOR as of the last day of such Interest Period; or (ii) in the case of
Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to LIBOR, the Borrower shall convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Loan to a Base Rate Loan as to which the interest rate is not determined by reference to
LIBOR as of the last day of such Interest Period. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR 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 

  
 -58-









 (b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If any Lender reasonably determines,
after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency,
shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan or any Base Rate Loan as to which the interest rate is determined by
reference to LIBOR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower that such Lender has reasonably determined that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to LIBOR, and
the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to LIBOR shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may
select only Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is not determined by reference to LIBOR hereunder, (ii) all Base Rate Loans shall cease to be determined by reference to LIBOR and (iii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully
continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan as to which the interest rate is not determined by reference to LIBOR
for the remainder of such Interest Period. 
 SECTION 5.9 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders
against any loss or expense (including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) which
may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any
amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of a Lender to make a Loan) to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined,
in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such
Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be
conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. 
 SECTION 5.10 Increased Costs. 

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

  
 -59-









 (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 advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR
Rate) or any Issuing Lender; 
 (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes
and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense
(other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of
any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender,
such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon receipt of written notice from such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower shall
promptly pay to any such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered (it being understood that the provisions set forth in this Section are not intended to derogate from the Borrower’s rights provided in Section 5.12). 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such
Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the
capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such
Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such
Lender or such Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing
Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered (it being understood that the provisions set forth in this Section are not intended to derogate from the Borrower’s rights provided in Section 5.12). 

  
 -60-









 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the applicable
Issuing Lender or Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts (together with a description and calculation of such amounts) necessary to compensate such Lender, Recipient or such Issuing Lender or their respective holding company, as the case may
be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown
as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests.
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or any Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the
case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but in any event, shall not extend more than 365 days prior to the date that
such notice was received by the Borrower). 
 SECTION 5.11 Taxes. 

(a) Issuing Lender. For purposes of this Section 5.11, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lenders. 

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

  
 -61-









 (d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient,
within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required
to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability, with a reasonably detailed calculation thereof, delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable
after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.11, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued
by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Sections 5.11(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower, 
 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax (and, upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any similar form required under any state or local law);

 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

  
 -62-









 (i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding
Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (ii)
executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (and, upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any similar form required under any state or local law); 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10
percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (iv) to the extent a
Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or
Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign
Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as
may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
 (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times
reasonably 

  
 -63-









 requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each
Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of
its legal inability to do so. 
 (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.11), it shall
pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the
amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the
indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to
require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(h) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative
Agent within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.10(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and
(iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (h). The agreements in this clause (h) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -64-









 (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.11 shall
survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any
Loan Document. 
 SECTION 5.12 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender ceases to fund LIBOR Rate Loans (or Base Rate
Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to LIBOR) as a result of a condition described in Section 5.8, requests compensation under Section 5.10, or requires the Borrower to pay additional amounts to
any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 5.11, then such Lender or Issuing Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts
to designate a different lending office for funding, issuing or booking any Loan or Letter of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender,
such designation or assignment (i) (x) would avoid the suspension of funding such LIBOR Rate Loans (or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to LIBOR) or (y) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 5.10 or Section 5.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.10, if the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.11, or any Lender ceases to fund LIBOR Rate Loans (or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to LIBOR) as a result of any condition described in
Section 5.8, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 5.12(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, either (i) terminate the Commitment of such Lender or Issuing Lender and (A) in the case of a Lender (other than an Issuing Lender),
repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans held by, and the Commitments of, such Lender as of such termination date and (B) in the case of an Issuing Lender, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to
such Issuing Lender relating to the Loans held by the Issuing Lender as of such termination date and cancel, backstop on terms satisfactory to such Issuing Lender or Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit issued by it, or (ii) require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.10), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant
to Section 5.10 or 5.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that: 

  
 -65-









 (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in draws under Letters of Credit which have not been reimbursed, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including
any amounts under Section 5.9) from the assignee or the Borrower, as the case may be; 
 (ii) in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; 
 (iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; 

(iv) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall
have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent; and 
 (v) either the Borrower or the applicable
assignee shall have paid any applicable processing and recordation fee. 
 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 the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

SECTION 5.13 Incremental Loans. (a) At any time the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to
request the establishment of one or more increases in the Aggregate Commitment (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment Increase” and, all such increases, collectively, the “Incremental Commitment Increases”)
to make incremental Revolving Credit Loans (any such incremental Revolving Credit Loan, an “Incremental Loan”); provided that (1) the total aggregate amount for all such Incremental Commitment Increases shall not (as of
any date of incurrence thereof) exceed the amount of $50,000,000 and (2) the total aggregate amount for each Incremental Commitment Increase (and the Incremental Loans made thereunder) shall not be less than the amount of $10,000,000 or, if
less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (1). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that any Incremental Commitment
Increase shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent. The Borrower may invite any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any
Approved Fund, and/or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to provide an Incremental Commitment Increase (any such Person, an “Incremental Lender”). Any Lender or any Incremental Lender offered or
approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Commitment Increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitment Increase. Any Incremental Commitment Increase shall become effective as of such
Increased Amount Date; provided that: 

  
 -66-









 (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date
before or after giving effect to any Incremental Commitment Increase; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall have received from the Borrower an Officer’s Compliance Certificate demonstrating that the Borrower will be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.14 both before and
after giving effect to any Incremental Commitment Increase and the making of any Incremental Loans on such Increased Amount Date; 
 (C) each Incremental Commitment Increase (and the Incremental Loans made thereunder) shall constitute Obligations of the Borrower and shall be guaranteed, and to the extent a Perfection Trigger Event has
occurred or thereafter occurs, secured with the other Extensions of Credit on a pari passu basis; 
 (D) in
the case of each Incremental Commitment Increase (the terms of which shall be set forth the relevant Lender Joinder Agreement to the extent the Incremental Lender is not a Lender hereunder at the time of such increase): 

(x) such Incremental Commitment Increase shall mature on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, shall bear interest at the
rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Loans; and 
 (y) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Commitment Percentages of Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the applicable Increased Amount Date among
the Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Commitment Increase) in accordance with their revised Commitment Percentages, and the Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Commitment
Increase) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Borrower shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 5.9 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a
repayment); 
 (E) any Incremental Lender providing an Incremental Commitment Increase shall be entitled to the
same voting rights as the existing Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and any Extensions of Credit made in connection with each Incremental Commitment Increase shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the other Revolving
Credit Loans made hereunder; 

  
 -67-









 (F) to the extent that such Incremental Commitment Increase is being
provided by an Incremental Lender that is not a Lender hereunder at the time of such increase, such Incremental Commitment Increase shall be effected pursuant to one or more Lender Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (which Lender Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in
the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 5.13); 
 (G) the
Borrower shall execute and deliver additional Ship Mortgages and related perfection and other Security Documents (including, without limitation, such opinions, resolutions, certificates and other instruments related thereto) as may be reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent to (x) at all times prior to the delivery of a Perfection Trigger Notice (so long as the Springing Lien Termination Date has not occurred), the Escrow Agent and (y) on and after the delivery of a
Perfection Trigger Notice (but prior to a Release Date, so long as the Springing Lien Termination Date has not occurred), the Administrative Agent, such that the aggregate orderly liquidation value (“OLV”) of all Designated Vessels
(based on current appraisals from an Approved Appraiser with respect to new Designated Vessels and the appraisals from an Approved Appraiser delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to Closing Date with respect to all other Designated Vessels)
that (i) other than during a Perfection Period, would be pledged or (ii) during a Perfection Period, have been pledged, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, is equal to at least 1.5
times the Aggregate Commitment, after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment Increase; 
 (H) the
Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. 

(b) The Incremental Lenders shall be included in any determination of the Required Lenders, and the Incremental Lenders will not
constitute a separate voting class for any purposes under this Agreement. 
 (c) On any Increased Amount Date on which any
Incremental Commitment Increase becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender providing an Incremental Commitment Increase shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Commitment
Increase. 
 SECTION 5.14 Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, following the written
request of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall promptly (but in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such written request)
Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Lender and/or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 5.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by
such Defaulting Lender) in Dollars in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 

  
 -68-









 (a) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security
for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is

Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans were issued at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a
pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in

commissions pursuant to Section 3.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash
Collateral pursuant to Section 5.14. 
 (C) With respect to any letter of credit commission not
required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (2) pay to each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender,
as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay
the remaining amount of any such fee. 
 (iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.
All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative
Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender
to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender,
including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 (v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice
to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, repay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize each Issuing Lender’s
Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.14. 

  
 -71-









 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing
Lender and the Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions
set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the
Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Aggregate Commitment under
the Revolving Credit Facility (without giving effect to Section 5.15(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or
payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to
Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that
it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure
after giving effect thereto.

Federal Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit will be used for purchasing or carrying margin stock or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U
or X of such Board of Governors. Following the application of the proceeds of each Extension of Credit, not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the assets (either of the Borrower only or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
Consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of Section 9.2 or Section 9.5 or subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between the Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to
Indebtedness will be “margin stock”. 
 SECTION 7.11 Government Regulation. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary
thereof (a) is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” (as each such term is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and (b) is, or after giving
effect to any Extension of Credit will be, subject to regulation under the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, except, in the case of clause (b) only, to the extent that such regulation could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 7.12 Security Documents. The Receivables Security Agreement and each Ship Mortgage
executed by any Credit Party in favor of the Administrative Agent are (a) as of the Closing Date and each Release Date, in the form required to evidence legal, valid, enforceable and continuing Liens (subject, in the case of the Ship Mortgages,
to their recordation in the appropriate public office in accordance with the laws of the United States and the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, as applicable, following the occurrence of a Perfection Trigger Event), in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in all right, title and interest of such Credit Party in any and all of the Collateral described therein, securing the Obligations from time to time outstanding; provided that the
Liens evidenced thereunder shall not be effective unless and until a Perfection Trigger Event has occurred, and (b) upon all proper filings and recordings being duly made in the locations referred to in the applicable Security Document, each
such Lien created pursuant to such Security Document would constitute a fully perfected first priority Lien in all right, title and interest of such Credit Party in any and all of the Collateral described therein, superior in right to any Liens,
existing or future, which such Credit Party of any creditors thereof or purchasers therefrom, or any other Person, may have against such Collateral or interests therein, except for Permitted Liens. Each

 Ship Mortgage on United States flag vessels would constitute as of the date and time of filing with the NVDC
a preferred mortgage pursuant to § 31322(a) of Title 46 of the United States Code. Each Ship Mortgage on Republic of the Marshall Islands flag vessels would constitute as of the date and time of filing with the Maritime Administrator

party thereunder and (iv) the policy or other identification number thereof. Such insurance policies and programs are in such forms and amounts, and provide coverage against such risks as are required by Section 8.6 and are
customary for corporations of established reputation engaged in the same or a similar business and owning and operating similar properties. 
 SECTION 7.14 Burdensome Provisions. The Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries do not presently anticipate that future expenditures needed to meet the provisions of any statutes, orders,
rules or regulations of a Governmental Authority will be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Financial Statements. The audited and unaudited financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(f)(i) are complete and accurate in all material respects and fairly present in all material respects the Consolidated financial
position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such dates, and the Consolidated results of the operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (other than customary year-end adjustments for unaudited financial statements). All such

necessary in the conduct of their respective businesses are in adequate operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage due to casualty excepted, are free and clear of any known defects except such defects as do not substantially
interfere with the continued use thereof in the conduct of normal operations, and are able to serve the function for which they are intended in the conduct of such Person’s business.

Section 8.2(g), the Credit Parties are the sole owners of each Designated Vessel and hold valid legal title to the whole of such Designated Vessels. As of the Closing Date and as of the date of each annual delivery of the list of

SECTION 7.21 Absence of Defaults. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

SECTION 7.22 Disclosure. No financial statement, material report, material certificate or other material information furnished in
writing by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or

 SECTION 10.4 Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Obligations have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 10.2 or the Administrative Agent or any Lender has exercised any remedy set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments received by the Lenders upon the Facility Obligations and all net proceeds
from the enforcement of the Facility Obligations shall be applied: 
 First, to payment of that portion of the Facility
Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, each Issuing Lender in its capacity as such and the Swingline
Lender in its capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause First payable to them; 

  
 -113-









 Second, to payment of that portion of the Facility Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
clause Second payable to them; 
 Third, to payment of that portion of the Facility Obligations constituting
accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them; 

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Facility Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement
Obligations and payment obligations then owing under Facility Hedge Agreements and Facility Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; 
 Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Issuing Lender, to Cash Collateralize any L/C Obligations then outstanding; and 
 Last, the balance, if any, after
all of the Facility Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Facility Obligations arising under Facility Cash Management Agreements and Facility Hedge Agreements shall
be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or
Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment
of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XI for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto. 
 SECTION 10.5 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 Credit Party, the
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 the Administrative Agent shall have made any
demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) 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 Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative
Agent under Sections 3.3, 5.3 and 12.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

  
 -114-









 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same; 
 (c) and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3, 5.3 and 12.3. 
 SECTION 10.6 Credit
Bidding. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, shall have the right to credit bid and
purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all or any portion of Collateral, or Property that would constitute Collateral, at any sale thereof conducted by the Administrative Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including
pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof, or a sale under a plan of reorganization, or at any other sale or
foreclosure conducted by the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with Applicable Law. 

(b) Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Administrative
Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other
similar dispositions of Collateral, or Property that would constitute Collateral. 
 ARTICLE XI 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 SECTION 11.1 Appointment and Authority. 
 (a) Each of the Lenders and each
Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall, except as expressly set forth in this Article, have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such


  
 -115-









 
provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is
not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between contracting parties. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral
agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the
agent of such Lender and such Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Facility Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as
are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, to enter into additional Loan Documents or supplements to existing Loan Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties). In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral
agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article XI for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the
Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Articles XI and XII (including
Section 12.3, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

SECTION 11.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in
its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise
requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory
capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 SECTION 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent: 
 (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether
a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan 

  
 -116-









 
Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or
termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 
 (iii) shall not,
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 (b) The Administrative
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall
believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.2 and Section 10.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a
Lender or an Issuing Lender. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or
inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in
connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein 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 VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 11.4 Reliance by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any
certification submitted by the Borrower with respect to the confirmation of the conditions to the occurrence of a Release Date or the Springing Lien Termination Date, 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. The 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 an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from 


  
 -117-









 
such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

SECTION 11.5 Delegation of Duties. The 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 the Administrative Agent. The 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 the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the Revolving Credit Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The 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 order that any direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary) damages suffered by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries were caused by
the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 SECTION 11.6 Resignation of Administrative
Agent. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders
and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the 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 the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

 (b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition
thereof, the Required Lenders and the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to such Person, remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, the Required Lenders and the Borrower may appoint a successor. If
no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”),
then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 
 (c) With
effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of 

  
 -118-









 
any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall
continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above. 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 removed
Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

(d) Any resignation by Wells Fargo (or any successor or assignee thereof) as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. 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 Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents,
and (c) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to
effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 SECTION 11.7
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the 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 each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the 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. 

SECTION 11.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the syndication agents, documentation
agents, co-agents, bookrunners, lead managers, arrangers, lead arrangers or co-arrangers listed on the cover page or signature pages 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 the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder. 

  
 -119-









 SECTION 11.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. 

(a) Each of the Lenders (including in its or any of its Affiliate’s capacities as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank)
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion: 
 (i) to release any Lien
on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Loan Document (A) upon the termination of the Aggregate Commitment and payment in full of all Facility Obligations
(other than (1) contingent indemnification obligations and (2) obligations and liabilities under Facility Cash Management Agreements or Facility Hedge Agreements) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than
Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender shall have been made), (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or in connection with any sale or other disposition
permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 12.2 and (D) on each Release Date and on the Springing Lien Termination Date; 

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to
the holder of any Permitted Lien which by operation of law or contract would have priority over the Liens securing the Obligations; and 
 (iii) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release
or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.9. In each case as specified in this
Section 11.9, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral
from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, in each case in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 11.9. In the case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any property constituting Collateral in a transaction permitted pursuant to Section 9.5, the Liens created by any of
the Loan Documents on such property shall be automatically released without need for further action by any person. 

  
 -120-









 (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or
inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in
connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 
 SECTION 11.10 Facility Hedge Agreements and Facility Cash Management Agreements. No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 10.4 or any Collateral by
virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including
the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do

Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and delivered to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an amendment, signed by the Borrower; provided, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

 (g)
consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of such Credit Party’s rights and obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement), in each case, without the written consent
of each Lender; 
 (h) release (i) all of the Subsidiary Guarantors or (ii) Subsidiary Guarantors comprising
substantially all of the credit support for the Obligations, in any case, from the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (other than as authorized in Section 11.9), without the written consent of each Lender; or 

(i) at any time during a Perfection Period, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any Security Document (other

require the consent of the Supermajority Lenders under clause (x) above, and (vi) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend any provision of the Loan Documents (and such amendment shall become effective without
any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any such provision.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (a) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended or
(b) no amendment, waiver of consent of the type set forth in Sections 12.2 (b) and (c) which would otherwise require the consent of each Lender shall be permitted, in each case, without the consent of such Defaulting

transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or such Indemnitee’s officer’s employees, directors, controlled representative or
controlled affiliates involved in the arrangement of this Agreement) or (y) result from a claim brought by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, if such Credit Party or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), an Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, then (without limiting the
Borrower’s obligation to do so) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s
pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such
unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the Lenders shall be required to pay such
unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) provided, further, that

capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this

Applicable Law, the Borrower and each other Credit Party 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 clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

the Swingline Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, 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), other than deposits in fiduciary accounts as to which a Credit Party is acting as a fiduciary for another Person who is not a Credit Party at
any time, owing by such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or such Credit Party
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the

such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Affiliate different from the branch, office or Affiliate 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 the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4 and, pending such payment, shall be
segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to
the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and their
respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender, each Issuing
Lender and the Swingline Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the 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.

governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each

appellate court from any thereof, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation 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, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in
this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against the Borrower or any other Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c)
Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto 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 of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable

BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). IF AND TO THE EXTENT THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IS UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON IN SUCH FORUM, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE 

  
 -129-









 
ADJUDICATION OF ALL CLAIMS PURSUANT TO JUDICIAL REFERENCE AS PROVIDED IN CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 638, AND THE JUDICIAL REFEREE SHALL BE EMPOWERED TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ALL
ISSUES IN SUCH REFERENCE, WHETHER FACT OR LAW. 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 CONSENT 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. 
 SECTION 12.7 Reversal of Payments. To the extent any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or
part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 12.8 Injunctive Relief. The Borrower recognizes that, in the event the Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy
of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders. Therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Lenders, at the Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving
actual damages. 
 SECTION 12.9 Accounting Matters. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any
financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement
to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with
GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a
reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. 

SECTION 12.10 Successors and Assigns; Participations. 
 (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 neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except in connection with
a transaction permitted

under this Agreement) 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
clause (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of
clause (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto 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 clause (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent
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 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/or the Loans
at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate 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 clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable
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 the
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 the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent six (6) Business Days after the date written notice
thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such sixth (6th) Business Day; 
 (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 Loan or the Commitment assigned; 
 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required
for any assignment, except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 

  
 -131-









 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that
the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within six (6) Business Days after having received notice thereof; 

(B) the consent of the 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 with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and 
 (C) the consents of the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. 

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment; provided that (A) only one such fee will be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved
Funds by a Lender and (B) the 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 the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to
(A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (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 any Person set forth on Schedule 12.10. 

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person. 

(vii) 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 the Administrative Agent in an aggregate
amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy
in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate)
its full pro rata share 

  
 -132-









 
of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Commitment 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 the Administrative Agent pursuant to
clause (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 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 and 12.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by
the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this
Section. 
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such 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, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’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 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) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.3(c) with respect to any payments made by such
Lender to its Participant(s). 

  
 -133-









 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, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 12.2 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of the Required
Lenders. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.8, 5.9, 5.10 and 5.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements of
Section 5.11(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.11(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.12 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall
not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.10 and 5.11, with respect to such participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a
greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate
with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.12(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.4 as though it were a
Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.6 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e)
Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal
amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any
portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person
except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(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 to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation 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. 

  
 -134-









 SECTION 12.11 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders 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 Related Parties (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 in accordance with customary practices), (b) to the extent required
or requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any regulatory or similar authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (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 under this Agreement, under
any other Loan Document or under any Facility Hedge Agreement or Facility Cash Management Agreement, or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Facility Hedge Agreement or Facility Cash Management
Agreement, 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 Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made
by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Revolving Credit Facility or
(ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Credit Facility (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such Person to whom such disclosure
is to be made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and shall undertake to keep such Information confidential in accordance with customary practices); (h) with the written consent of the Borrower, or (i) to the

provided that any provision of the Security Documents which imposes additional burdens on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or gives the Administrative Agent or
Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.

 THIS LENDER-SURETY PRIORITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated         , 2012, is entered into by: 

 

	 	1.	WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders under the Lender Credit Agreement (as defined
below), and 

  

	 	2.	ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates including, but not limited to FIDELITY AND DEPOSIT COMPANY OF MARYLAND, COLONIAL AMERICAN CASUALTY
AND SURETY COMPANY, and AMERICAN GUARANTEE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE COMPANY, its successors and assigns (“Surety”). 


Agent and Surety agree that all capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in the Equipment

certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2012, among Great Lakes, certain subsidiaries of Great Lakes party thereto, as Credit Parties, Agent and the other lenders party thereto from time to time (as amended, restated, supplemented,
refinanced or replaced from time to time, the “Lender Credit Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS Indemnitors have provided Surety with a
security interest in the Collateral Equipment (among other interests, rights and remedies) pursuant to the terms of, and as defined in, the General Agreement of Indemnity, dated September 7, 2011 (the “GIA”); and 

WHEREAS Agent and Indemnitors have provided Surety a priority right to access and use the Collateral Equipment pursuant to the terms of the EUA; and

	 Great Lakes Lender-Surety Priority Agreement
	 	page 1 of 9









 NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Agent
and Surety agree as follows: 
 1. Collateral Equipment: The Collateral Equipment to which this Agreement applies is defined as the
equipment listed on Exhibit A SCHEDULE OF COLLATERAL EQUIPMENT which is attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference, as may be modified as provided herein. This Agreement does not apply to any other machinery, plant,
equipment or other property of Indemnitors. 
 2. Surety Mortgage: Surety agrees that it will not perfect or file mortgages with respect
to any of the Collateral Equipment, unless and until it shall have first provided Agent with 60 days written notice. 
 3. Priorities:
Agent and Surety acknowledge and agree that the other may perfect a security interest in the Collateral Equipment. With respect to Agent’s and Surety’s mortgages, security interests and liens in the Collateral Equipment, Agent and Surety
agree that as between Agent and Surety, Agent’s mortgage, security interests and liens in the Collateral Equipment shall be senior and prior in right to Surety’s mortgages, security interests and liens in the Collateral Equipment, and
Surety’s mortgages, security interests and liens shall be junior to Agent’s mortgages, security interests and liens, notwithstanding the order, manner or timing of attachment or perfection of any such mortgages, security interests or liens
or the validity, enforceability, perfection or unavoidability thereof or any failure by Agent or the Surety to take any action to attach or perfect such security interests or liens. 
 4. No Challenge: Agent and Surety agree not to institute or join in any legal action challenging the validity, enforceability, perfection or unavoidability of their respective mortgages, security
interests or liens with respect to the Collateral Equipment. 
 5. Right to Enforce and Transfer; Release: Agent and Surety agree that
the other party may take action to enforce that party’s rights and interest in the Collateral Equipment, including any rights which may result in the transfer of such Collateral Equipment to third parties, provided that a) the enforcing party
provides prior written notice to the other party of the enforcing party’s foreclosure or similar disposition of any such Collateral Equipment; b) any such exercise and enforcement or other disposition by Agent of any Collateral Equipment shall
be subject to and shall not interfere with Surety’s continuing rights and interests and priority access and use under and pursuant to the terms of the EUA. In the event of any transfer of such Collateral Equipment to third parties by the Agent
in connection with an enforcement by the Agent or in connection with a consensual disposition and, in any such event pursuant to which the Agent shall release its mortgages, security interests or liens with respect to such Collateral Equipment,
Surety shall promptly release its mortgages, security interests and liens on such Collateral Equipment, provided that Surety’s mortgages, security interests and liens shall remain on the proceeds of such Collateral Equipment, subject to the
relative priorities set forth in section 3 above. Surety hereby authorizes Agent to effect such lien releases on behalf of Surety and to execute and deliver all instruments to effect such release of Surety’s mortgages, security interests and
liens (which authorization being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). 
 6. Modification of Exhibit A. Exhibit A may be modified by
a Rider to this Agreement upon written notice by Agent to Surety at any time.

 7. Collateral Proceeds: If any Collateral proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds
or distributions pursuant to any plan of reorganization or other insolvency proceeding with respect to any Indemnitor) are received by Surety with respect to the Collateral Equipment, Surety shall receive and hold such proceeds on behalf of the
other party and shall promptly pay or transfer such proceeds to the other party, with any necessary endorsements. To the extent that there are any excess proceeds from the Collateral Equipment which may be held by Agent following satisfaction in
full of the Indemnitor’s obligations to Agent and the lenders party to the Lender Credit Agreement and the termination of the commitments under the Lender Credit Agreement, Agent shall promptly pay or transfer such proceeds to Surety, with any
necessary endorsements. 
 8. No Prohibition: Neither Agent nor Surety shall enter into any agreement with any Indemnitor prohibiting
such Indemnitor from granting mortgages on, security interests in, or liens on, any Collateral Equipment to secure the obligations of such Indemnitor either to Agent and the lenders in connection with the Lender Credit Agreement or to Surety in
connection with the GIA or the EUA. 
 9. No Impact on Rights and Remedies other than to the Collateral Equipment: Notwithstanding the
respective priorities of security interests and liens above, nothing in this Agreement is intended to or does waive, release, limit, condition or otherwise affect the Surety’s rights and remedies under the EUA and/or the GIA, at law or in
equity, other than as stated in this Agreement with respect to the Collateral Equipment, or Agent’s or any lender’s rights and remedies under and with respect to the Lender Credit Agreement with respect to the Collateral Equipment.

 10. No impact on Surety’s priority use of the Collateral Equipment: Notwithstanding the respective priorities of security
interests and liens above, nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive, release, limit, condition or otherwise affect the Surety’s priority access and use of the Collateral Equipment to perform Surety’s Bonded Obligations, in accordance
with the EUA.

“NOTICE OF SHIP MORTGAGE 
 This vessel is owned by Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and is covered by a First Preferred Fleet Mortgage in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as Administrative Agent and trustee, under authority of Chapter 313 of Title 46 of the United States Code, as amended. Under the terms of said Mortgage, neither the owner, the master or agent of this vessel nor any other person has any
right, power or authority to create, incur, or permit to be placed or imposed upon this vessel any lien whatsoever, other than liens for wages of a stevedore when employed directly by a person listed in 46 U.S.C. 31341, for wages of the crew in
respect of this vessel (including wages of the master to the extent provided by 46 U.S.C. 11112), general average, salvage (including contract salvage), liens fully covered by insurance and any deductible applicable thereto, liens permitted by
Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement, and other liens incident to current operations or for repairs.”

 (b) The Mortgagor will not create, incur, permit to be placed or imposed upon or permit to
exist upon any of the Vessels or any of the proceeds of the Vessels or sums due or to become due in respect of the Vessels or in respect of insurance thereon any lien whatsoever, other than liens contemplated by the aforesaid notice. In due course
and in any event within thirty (30) days after the same becomes due and payable, the Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be discharged or make adequate provision for the satisfaction or discharge of all material claims or demands with respect to
the Vessels, unless such claims or demands are being contested in good faith. 
 SECTION 5. (a) The Mortgagor will not transfer
or change the flag, change the vessel name or change the vessel number of any of the Vessels without the written consent of the Mortgagee first had and obtained, and any such written consent to any one transfer or change of flag, change in vessel
name or change in vessel number shall not be construed to be a waiver of this provision with respect to any subsequent proposed transfer or change of flag, change in vessel name or change in vessel number of the same or any other Vessel. 

(b) The Mortgagor will not cause or permit any of the Vessels to be operated in any manner contrary to law and the Mortgagor will not
engage in any unlawful trade or violate any law or expose any of the Vessels to penalty or forfeiture, except where any such operation, engagement, violation or exposure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and will
not do, or suffer or permit to be done, anything which can or may injuriously affect in any material respect the registration, documentation, or trade endorsement of a Vessel under the laws and regulations of the United States. 

(c) Without limiting in any way the right of the Mortgagee to decline to grant any written consent described in Section 5(a)
or to condition any such written consent on other conditions, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Mortgagee shall not grant any such written consent unless either: (i) the Mortgagee is satisfied that all actions necessary or
desirable have been taken so that after giving effect to the proposed transfer or change the Mortgagee will, upon the occurrence of any Perfection Trigger Event, have a valid and enforceable first lien on the Vessels which are the subject hereof
providing rights (including practically realizable enforcement rights) and benefits to the Mortgagee with respect to such Vessels at least as favorable to the Mortgagee as those granted to the Mortgagee with respect thereto by this Mortgage or
(ii) the Mortgagor substitutes for such Vessels as collateral under this Mortgage other vessels owned by the Mortgagor (including all appurtenances thereunto appertaining or belonging and any and all additions, improvements and replacements
thereto) such that, after giving effect to any such substitution, the aggregate orderly liquidation value of all vessels subject to the Ship Mortgages is equal to at least: (x) prior to the first Incremental Commitment Increase, $260,000,000,
and (y) on and after each Incremental Commitment Increase, 1.5 times the Aggregate Commitment, immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment Increase. 
 SECTION 6. (a) From and after any Perfection Trigger Event, in the event of an actual, constructive or compromised total loss of any Vessel, such loss shall not be adjusted or compromised without the
prior written consent of the Mortgagee, and all insurance or other payments for such shall, unless the Mortgagor is entitled to reinvest such payments in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement and does elect to so reinvest,
be paid to the 

  
 - 4 -









 
Mortgagee and applied by the Mortgagee as follows: first, to any costs or expenses of the Mortgagee in connection with collecting such payment; second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations;
third, to the payment of all other secured indebtedness, if any; and fourth, any surplus thereafter remaining, to the Mortgagor, its successors and assigns or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. 

(b) In the event that any claim or lien is asserted against any Vessel for loss, damage or expense which is covered by insurance required
hereunder, and it is necessary for the Mortgagor to obtain a bond or supply other security to prevent arrest of the Vessel or to release the Vessel from arrest on account of such claim or lien, the Mortgagee, on request of the Mortgagor or its
agent, may, in the sole discretion of the Mortgagee, assign to any person, firm or corporation executing a surety or guarantee bond or other agreement to save or release the Vessel from such arrest, all right, title and interest of the Mortgagee in
and to said insurance covering said loss, damage or expense, as collateral security to indemnify against liability under said bond or other agreement. In any such event, Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any such arrest or
threatened arrest and, within thirty (30) days, cause such Vessel to be released by posting security or otherwise. 
 (c)
If requested by the Mortgagee at any time and from time to time, the Mortgagor will deliver to the Mortgagee copies of all cover notes, binders, policies and certificates of entry in protection and indemnity associations, and all endorsements and
riders amendatory thereof, in respect of insurance maintained in connection with the Vessels. 
 (d) The Mortgagor agrees that
it will not do or permit or willingly allow to be done any act by which any insurance required by the terms of this Mortgage may be suspended, impaired or cancelled, and that it will not permit or allow any Vessel to undertake any voyage or run any
risk or transport any cargo or passengers which may not be permitted by the policies in force, without having previously insured the Vessel by additional coverage extending to such voyages, risks, passengers or cargoes. 

SECTION 7. The Mortgagor shall promptly notify the Mortgagee of the actual or constructive total loss of a Vessel or the agreed or
compromised total loss of a Vessel, or the arrest, capture, condemnation, confiscation, registration, seizure or forfeiture of a Vessel. 
 SECTION 8. The Mortgagor represents and warrants that it is and will at all times remain a citizen of the United States within the meaning of Section 2 of the Shipping Act, 1916, and pursuant to 46

 (e) The Mortgagor shall abandon any Vessel, other than in connection with an insured actual, constructive or compromised total loss of such Vessel.

manner: 
  

	 	(i)	By publishing such notice for ten (10) consecutive business days in a daily newspaper of general circulation published in New York City; 


 

	 	(ii)	If the place of sale should not be New York City, then also by publication of a similar notice for a similar period of time in a daily newspaper, if any, published at
the place of sale; and 

  

	 	(iii)	By mailing, by registered or certified mail, a similar notice to the Mortgagor on the day of first publication and at least thirty (30) days prior to the date
fixed for sale. 

 The Mortgagee may adjourn any such sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place
appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale, and without further notice or publication the Mortgagee may make any such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned. Any such sale may be conducted without bringing the
Vessels subject to such sale to the place designated for such sale and in such manner as the Mortgagee may deem to be for its best advantage. 
 SECTION 3. Any sale of any or all of the Vessels made pursuant to this Mortgage, whether under the power of sale hereby granted or any judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title and
interest of any nature whatsoever of the Mortgagor therein and thereto, and shall bar the Mortgagor, its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming by, through or under them from claiming any interest in or with respect to each Vessel sold. No
purchaser shall be bound to inquire whether notice has been given, or whether any Default has occurred, or as to the propriety of the sale, or as to the application of the proceeds thereof. At any such sale, the Mortgagee may bid for and purchase
such property and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor. 
 SECTION 4. Provided that a Perfection Trigger Event shall have occurred, the Mortgagee is hereby appointed attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor in the name of the Mortgagor at any time following the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Default, to execute and deliver to any purchaser aforesaid, and is hereby vested with full power and authority to make, in the name and in behalf of the Mortgagor, a good conveyance of the title to each
Vessel sold. In 

  
 - 7 -









 
the event of any sale of a Vessel, under any power herein contained, the Mortgagor will, if and when required by the Mortgagee, execute such form of conveyance of such Vessel, as the Mortgagee
may direct or approve. The Mortgagor hereby consents to the appointment of a consent keeper or substitute custodian by the Mortgagee with the costs thereof to be a cost of the sale to be paid from the proceeds of the sale or by the Mortgagor and,
therefore, secured by this Mortgage as additional Secured Obligations. 
 SECTION 5. Without limiting in any way the provisions
of Section 6 of Article I hereof, the Mortgagee is hereby appointed attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor in the name of the Mortgagor at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of any Default and provided that a
Perfection Trigger Event shall have occurred, to demand, collect, receive, compromise and sue for, so far as may be permitted by law, all freight, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits of any or all of the Vessels and all amounts due
from underwriters under any insurance thereon as payment of losses or as return premiums or otherwise, salvage awards and recoveries, recoveries in general average or otherwise, and all other sums due or to become due at the time of the happening of
any Default in respect of such Vessel or Vessels, or in respect of any insurance thereon, from any person whomsoever, and to make, give and execute in the name of the Mortgagor, acquittances, receipts, releases or other discharges for the same,
whether under seal or otherwise, and to endorse and accept in the name of the Mortgagor all checks, notes, drafts, warrants, agreements and other instruments in writing with respect to the foregoing. 

SECTION 6. The Mortgagee may, whenever any right to enter and take possession of any or all of the Vessels accrues to the Mortgagee
hereunder, require the Mortgagor to deliver, and the Mortgagor shall on demand, at its own cost and expense, deliver, to the Mortgagee each Vessel as demanded. If any legal proceedings shall be taken to enforce any right under this Mortgage, the
Mortgagee shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver of any or all of the Vessels and of the freights, hire, earnings, issues, revenues, income and profits due or to become due and arising from the operation thereof.

 SECTION 7. Provided that a Perfection Trigger Event shall have occurred, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a
Default, the Mortgagor authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee or its appointees or any of them to appear in the name of the Mortgagor, its successors and assigns, in any court of any country or nation of the world where a suit is pending against any
of the Vessels because of or on account of any alleged lien against such Vessel from which such Vessel has not been released other than the lien of this Mortgage, and to take such proceedings as to her as may seem proper towards the defense of such
suit and the purchase or discharge of such lien, and all expenditures made or incurred by it for the purpose of such defense or purchase or discharge shall be a debt due from the Mortgagor, its successors and assigns, to the Mortgagee, and shall be
secured by the lien of this Mortgage in like manner and extent as if the amount and description thereof were written herein. 

SECTION 8. Each and every power and remedy herein given to the Mortgagee shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
power and remedy herein given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, in admiralty or by statute, and each and every power and remedy whether herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such
order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the 

  
 - 8 -









 
beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other power or remedy. No delay or omission by
the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or to be an acquiescence therein; nor
shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security or of any payment of or on account of the amounts due in respect of the Secured Obligations after any Default or of any payment on account of any past Default be construed to be a waiver of any
right to take advantage of any future Default or of any past Default not completely cured thereby. 
 SECTION 9. If at any time
after a Default and prior to the actual sale of any of the Vessels by the Mortgagee or prior to any foreclosure proceedings, the Mortgagor offers to cure completely all Defaults and to pay all expenses, advances and damages to the Mortgagee
consequent on such Defaults, then the Mortgagee shall accept such offer, cure and payment and restore the Mortgagor to its former position, but such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or impair any rights consequent thereon. 

SECTION 10. In case the Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or
otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property subject or intended to be subject to this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken. 

SECTION 11. Following the occurrence of a Perfection Trigger Event, the proceeds of any sale of any or all of the Vessels, earnings of
any charter operation or other use of any or all of the Vessels by the Mortgagee under any of the powers herein specified, and any and all other moneys received by the Mortgagee pursuant to or under the terms of this Mortgage or in any proceedings
hereunder, the application of which has not elsewhere herein, in the Credit Agreement or in the Intercreditor Agreement been specifically provided for, shall be applied or held as follows: 

 

	 	First:	Applied to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including the expenses of any sale, the expenses of any retaking, attorneys’ fees,
court costs, and any other expenses or advances made or incurred by the Mortgagee in the protection of its rights or the pursuance of its remedies hereunder; 


 

	 	Second:	Applied to the payment of any damages or injuries sustained by the Mortgagee occasioned by noncompliance by the Mortgagor with the terms and provisions of this Mortgage
and to furnish indemnity in the proper amount against any other liens or other encumbrances which have or may have priority over those established by this Mortgage; 


 

	 	Third:	Applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such priority as the Mortgagee may elect; 


  
 - 9 -










	 	Fourth:	Applied to the payment of any other obligations secured by the Vessels which are known to the Mortgagee to exist and to be so secured; and 


 

	 	Fifth:	Any surplus thereafter remaining shall be paid promptly to the Mortgagor. 

 SECTION 12. Until a Perfection Trigger Event shall have occurred and one or more Defaults shall occur and continue in existence, the Mortgagor, subject to the provisions of this Mortgage, (a) shall
be suffered and permitted to retain actual possession and use of the Vessels and (b) shall have the right, from time to time, in its discretion, and without application to the Mortgagee, and without obtaining a release thereof by the Mortgagee,
to dispose of, free from the lien hereof, any boilers, engines, machinery, masts, spars, sails, rigging, boats, anchors, cables, chains, tackle, apparel, furniture, fittings, cranes, drills, excavators, shovels, construction or other equipment or
any other appurtenances of the Vessels that are no longer useful, necessary, profitable or advantageous in the operation of the Vessels.
