Making the Loans. (a) The Borrowing of Loans shall be made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (i) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate
Loans or (ii) on the first Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans (other than a Supplemental Borrowing), and the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt
notice thereof by telecopier or other electronic means. Each such notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein (i) the requested Type of Loans comprising
the Borrowing, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing and the amount of such Borrowing that represents a 3 Year Loan and a 5 Year Loan (which shall be determined in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 2.01),
(iii) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period for each such Loan, (iv) the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, (v) the date of such Borrowing,
(vi) whether such notice is conditioned on the occurrence of any event and (vii) if such notice is conditioned on the occurrence of an event, 

  
 -19- 








 
a description of the event (it being understood that, both the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to assume that the Loans contemplated by such Notice of Borrowing are to be
made unless the Administrative Agent shall have received a written notice of revocation in accordance with Section 2.02(b) prior to the funding of such Borrowing). Each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon (or such other time agreed upon by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on the date of the applicable Borrowing (or, in the case of any Supplemental Borrowing, as promptly as practical following receipt of the Notice of a Non-Funding Lender), make available for the account of its
Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon
fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02. 

(b) A Notice of Borrowing shall be binding on the Borrower unless revoked in writing prior to the Borrowing of the Loans. In the case of a
Borrowing that the Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any revocation of a Notice of Borrowing
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence or any failure to fulfill on or before the date of Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost
or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Loan to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Loan, as a result of such failure, is not made on such
date. 
 (c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Loans for any
Borrowing if the aggregate obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.10. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.02, in the event any Lender shall have failed to make any Loan required to
be made by it under Section 2.01(a) or (b) (any such Lender, a “Non-Funding Lender”), the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing (a “Supplemental Borrowing”) of Loans to be made under
Section 2.01(c) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans so failed to have been made by all the Non-Funding Lenders and (B) the Aggregate Commitments of all Lenders (other
than the Non-Funding Lenders) then remaining in effect. The Supplemental Borrowing shall be deemed to be requested to be made on the Funding Date as a Base Rate Loan, and the location and number of the account to which funds are deemed to be
requested to be disbursed in respect of the Supplemental Borrowing shall be identical to those specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing delivered in respect of the initial Borrowing. Promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Borrower and each Lender of any Lender having become a Non-Funding Lender (such notice being referred to as a “Notice of a Non-Funding Lender”) and shall advise each Lender of the amount of such
Lender’s Supplemental Loan to be made under Section 2.01(c) as part of the Supplemental Borrowing. 

  
 -20- 








 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of
a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent
on the date of Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall
not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing and
(ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same 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 shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes
of this Agreement and the Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations to repay such amount under this subsection (e). 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. 
 (f) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be
made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the making of such Loan set forth in Article 3 are not
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(g) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 8.04(c) are several and not joint. The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 8.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 8.04(c); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Lenders shall be required to make a Supplemental Loan pursuant to Section 2.01(c) if
any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender. 
 (h) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

Section 2.03. Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 3 Year Loans to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the 3 Year Lenders, on the 3 Year Maturity Date. 

  
 -21- 








 (b) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the 5 Year Lenders,
5 Year Loans (i) in a principal amount equal to 5.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5 Year Loans made on the Funding Date on each of the dates that are three, six, nine and twelve months after the third anniversary of the Funding Date
and (ii) in a principal amount equal to 12.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5 Year Loans made on the Funding Date on each of the dates that are three, six and nine months after the fourth anniversary of the Funding Date. The Borrower
shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 5 Year Loans to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the 5 Year Lenders, on the 5 Year Maturity Date. 

Section 2.04. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) each Lender’s
Commitment shall automatically reduce by the amount of each Loan made by such Lender, such reduction to be effective immediately following the making of such Loan by such Lender, and (ii) each Lender’s Commitments shall terminate on the
earlier of (A) the funding of the Loans (including, if applicable, Loans comprising the Supplemental Borrowing) on the Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.01 and (B) 11:59 P.M. on the last day of the Availability Period;
provided that the foregoing shall not excuse a Non-Funding Lender or a Defaulting Lender from liability for a failure to fund its Commitment. 

(b) The Borrower shall have the right, upon same day notice to the Administrative Agent delivered prior to 11:00 A.M. on any Business Day, to
terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the Commitments of the Lenders. A notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned on the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be
in the aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and, once terminated, a Commitment may not be reinstated. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the
Commitments under this Section 2.04. Each voluntary reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be applied ratably to the 3 Year Commitments and the 5 Year Commitments and will be applied pro rata to
the outstanding Commitments of each Lender under the applicable Tranche. All fees in respect of the Commitments accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 

Section 2.05. Interest. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan
owing to each Lender from the Funding Date until such principal amount of such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 

(i) Base Rate Loans. During such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times to the
sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time for such Loan plus (y) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time for such Loan, payable, in the case of such Loan, in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June,
September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Loan shall be Converted or paid in full. 

  
 -22- 








 (ii) Eurodollar Rate Loans. During such periods as such Loan is a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Loan to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Loan plus (y) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to
time for such Loan, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such
Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be Converted or paid in full. 
 (b) Default Interest. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), the Borrower shall pay interest on the overdue amount of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, as the case may be, at a rate per annum which is
(x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would be otherwise applicable thereto pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this Section 2.05 plus 2%, (y) in the case of overdue interest, the rate that would be otherwise
applicable to the principal of the related Loan pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this Section 2.05 (and not pursuant to subclause (x) of this clause (b)) plus 2% and (z) in the case of fees and other amounts, the rate described
in clause (a)(i) of this Section 2.05 plus 2%. 
 Section 2.06. Interest Rate Determination. (a) The Administrative Agent
shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.05(a)(i) or (ii). 

(b) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, (i) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for
any Interest Period for such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for the applicable Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify
the Borrower and the Lenders. Thereafter, (A) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan, and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to
Convert Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 

(c) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions
contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Loans will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period
therefor, Convert into (or continue as) Eurodollar Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month (subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”). 

(d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising any Borrowing or Set shall be reduced, by
payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $25,000,000, such Loans shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Loans. 

  
 -23- 








 (e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under
Section 6.01(a), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Loans into,
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended. 
 Section 2.07. Optional Conversion of Loans. The Borrower may on any Business Day,
upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.06 and 2.10, Convert Loans of one Type into Loans of the other
Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loans and any Conversion of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than $25,000,000. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Loans to be Converted and (iii) if such
Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Loan or portion thereof. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 

Section 2.08. Optional Prepayments of Loans. (a) The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, in whole
or in part; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each optional prepayment made pursuant to this
Section 2.08(a) shall be applied to the Tranche of Loans directed by the Borrower and will be applied pro rata to the outstanding Loans under the applicable Tranche. Prepayments of the 5 Year Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.08(a) shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof as directed by the Borrower. 
 (b) [Reserved.] 

(c) Notices. Voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.08(a) shall be made upon notice to the Administrative Agent not later than
11:00 A.M. on any Business Day for Base Rate Loans, and upon at least three Business Days’ notice for Eurodollar Rate Loans, stating the Tranche of Loans to be prepaid and the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the applicable
prepayment. Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this clause (c), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share of such prepayment and such notice shall not
thereafter be revocable. 
 (d) Other Amounts. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be accompanied by interest on
the principal amount prepaid, accrued to the date of such prepayment. In the event of any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to
Section 8.04(d). 
 Section 2.09. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or
in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any written guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority each of which is effective after the date hereof (whether or not having the force
of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining 

  
 -24- 








 
Eurodollar Rate Loans (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.09 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes (as to which
Section 2.12 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its
Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost (whether or not such increased costs arise prior to the receipt of written notification from such central bank or other governmental authority), provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such increased costs to the extent such increased costs accrued prior to the date that is six months prior to such notice, and provided further that, if such change, event or
circumstance giving rise to such increased costs has a retroactive effect, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost,
submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error in the calculation of such amount. 

(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any written guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by or liquidity requirement applicable to such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and
that the amount of such capital or liquidity requirements is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation (whether or not such amounts arise prior to the
receipt of written notification from such central bank or other governmental authority) in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity requirements to be allocable to
the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender to the extent such amounts arose prior to the date that is six months prior to such notice, and
provided further that, if such change, event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs has a retroactive effect, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error in the calculation of such amounts. 

(c) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.09 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to minimize such additional amounts and to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any
additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise notably disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for such Lender’s reasonable expenses incurred
in connection with such change or in considering such a change in an amount not to exceed the Borrower’s pro rata share of such expenses based on such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower and the total loans of such Lender to its
similarly situated customers. 

  
 -25- 








 (d) For purposes of this Section 2.09, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations recommendations and directives promulgated thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof (whether or not having the force of law) and
(ii) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations, recommendations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the
United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed introduced or adopted after the date hereof regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued,
promulgated or implemented. For the avoidance of doubt, the Bank for International Settlements and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision each constitute a “governmental authority” for purposes of this Section 2.09. 

Section 2.10. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative
Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having relevant jurisdiction asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan, will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate
Loan and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to Convert Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist. 
 Section 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder
and under the Notes, if any, not later than 2:00 P.M. on the day when due, in US Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, without set off, counterclaim or deduction. The Administrative Agent
will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.12 or 8.04(d)) to the Lenders of the applicable Tranche for the account
of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and
Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes, if any, in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all
appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 P.M. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 

  
 -26- 








 (b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on
the Prime Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is not based on the
Prime Rate and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or
fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error in the calculation of such interest rate or fee. 

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes, if any, shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or
principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders
that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent each Lender of the applicable
Tranche severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender
repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

Section 2.12. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. 

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

(ii) If the Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then
(A) the Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Withholding Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the
Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (C) to the 

  
 -27- 








 
extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required
withholding or deductions (including those applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction
been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower
shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable laws. 
 (c) Indemnification.

 (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby,
indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes imposed
or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.12) withheld or deducted by the Withholding Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto. 
 (ii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify, within 30 days after demand therefor, (A) the
Administrative Agent for 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), (B) the Withholding Agent for any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.07(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) the Withholding Agent for any
Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Withholding 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 or the Withholding Agent, as applicable, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Withholding Agent, as applicable, to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable
by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c)(ii). 

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by law to report such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 

  
 -28- 








 (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable
laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested
information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether payments made hereunder or under any of the Notes are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding
or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish
such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. 
 (ii) Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (or, if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. Federal
income tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) 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 request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor thereto) or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender (or, if such Foreign Lender is disregarded as an
entity separate from its owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) that is entitled under the Internal Revenue Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to 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 request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(A) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an

 -29- 








 (C) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor
thereto) and all required supporting documentation including, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, Internal Revenue Service 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 certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4, 
 (D) in the case of a Foreign Lender (or, if such Foreign
Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c)
of the Internal Revenue Code: (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender (or such other Person) is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Internal Revenue Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C)

(iv) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable),
each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, such documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, sufficient for
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA and to determine whether payments to such Lender or Administrative Agent are subject to withholding tax under FATCA. Solely for purposes of this
sub-clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (v) Each
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the
Borrower have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the
account of such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be. If any party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it has been indemnified under this Section 2.12, it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such indemnified party; provided that the indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party, agrees to repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over to the indemnifying party, in the
event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. 
 (g) Reduction of Additional Amounts.
The Administrative Agent and any Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to take such steps (including changing the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office) as would not be notably disadvantageous to it to avoid or minimize any
indemnity payments or additional amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12. The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and such Lender for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such steps, in the case of
a Lender, in an amount not to exceed the Borrower’s pro rata share of such expenses based on such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower and the total loans of such Lender to its similarly situated customers. 

Section 2.13. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the
exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise) on account of the Loans owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.12, 8.01(b), 8.04(d) or 8.07) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loans of the applicable
Tranche as contemplated hereunder, such Lender shall forthwith notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and purchase from the other Lenders of the applicable Tranche such participations in the Loans owing to them as shall be necessary to cause
such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender
shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that
any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender by delivering payment pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set off) with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

Section 2.14. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of
Loans. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of 

  
 -31- 








 
such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the
Loans owing to such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the outstanding Loans of such Lender. 

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(d) shall include (i) the date and amount of each
Borrowing, the Type and Tranche of Loans comprising each Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

 (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in
its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in
the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect,
in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. 

Section 2.15. Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender
(other than any Defaulting Lender or Non-Funding Lender) a commitment fee on the daily actual unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender, for each day during the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the date on which the
Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section 2.04, at a rate equal to 0.10% per annum. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during such period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 3 is not
met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the date on which the Commitments are
terminated pursuant to Section 2.04. Such fees shall be fully earned upon becoming due and payable and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall timely pay such fees as separately agreed in the Fee Letters.

 (b) Any representation or warranty made or deemed made by
the Borrower herein or in any certificate required to be delivered hereunder shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made; or

Business Days and the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such Debt; or any such Debt aggregating the Requisite Amount shall be declared due and payable or any other event shall occur or condition
shall exist under any agreement or instrument relating to any such Debt aggregating the Requisite Amount and shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument, if the effect of such event or
condition is to accelerate the maturity of such Debt and such Debt shall not have been discharged or such event or condition shall continue to exist; or any such Debt aggregating the Requisite Amount shall be required to be prepaid or redeemed
(other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment or redemption), purchased or defeased, in each case prior to the stated maturity thereof where the cause of such prepayment, redemption, purchase or defeasance is the occurrence of an event or
condition that is premised on a material adverse deterioration of the financial condition or results of operations of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, provided that with respect to Debt aggregating the Requisite Amount of the types
described in clauses (h) or (i) of the definition of “Debt” and to the extent such Debt relates to the obligations of any Person other than a Restricted Subsidiary, no Event of Default shall occur so long as the payment of such

similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it), either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days, or any
of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property)
shall occur; or (ii) the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries shall take any corporate (or other organizational) action to authorize any of the actions set forth in this subsection (e) under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; or 
 (f) Any final judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of $400,000,000
shall have been rendered against the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or order and there shall be a period of 60 consecutive days during which a
stay of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not have been in effect and such judgment or order is not satisfied, vacated or discharged; provided, however, that any such judgment or
order shall not be an Event of Default under this subsection (f) if and for so long as (i) the amount of such judgment or order is covered by a valid and binding policy of 

  
 -43- 








 
insurance between the defendant and the insurer or insurers covering payment thereof, (ii) such insurer or reinsurer shall be rated, or, if more than one insurer or reinsurer, at least 90%
of such insurers or reinsurers as measured by the amount of risk insured shall be rated, at least “A-” by A.M. Best Company or its successor or its successors and (iii) such insurer(s) or reinsurer(s) has been notified of, and has not

(g) (i) Any Person or two or more Persons acting in concert shall have acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the
SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of Voting Stock of the Borrower (or other securities convertible into such Voting Stock) representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of all Voting Stock of the
Borrower or (ii) during any period of up to 11 consecutive months, commencing after the date of this Agreement, individuals who at the beginning of such 11-month period were directors of the Borrower, together with individuals nominated or
appointed to the board of directors of the Borrower by a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such 11-month period or whose nomination or appointment was previously so approved, shall cease for
any reason (other than solely as a result of (A) death or disability or (B) voluntary retirement or resignation of any individual in the ordinary course and not for reasons related to an actual or proposed change of control of the
Borrower) to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Borrower; or 
 (h) The Borrower or its ERISA Affiliates shall incur, or
shall be reasonably likely to incur, liability that would have a Material Adverse Effect as a result of one or more of the following: (i) the occurrence of any ERISA Event with respect to the Borrower, (ii) the partial or complete
withdrawal of the Borrower or its ERISA Affiliates from a Multiemployer Plan, or (iii) the reorganization or termination of a Multiemployer Plan; 

then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower,
declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement by the Borrower to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable by
the Borrower, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that in the event of an actual entry of an order for relief with respect to
the Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice
of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 
 ARTICLE 7 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

Section 7.01. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMCB 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 

  
 -44- 








 
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

Section 7.02. 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, 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 7.03. Exculpatory Provisions. 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: 
 (a) shall not be
subject to any fiduciary duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) 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 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; and 

(c) 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. 

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 Sections 6.01 and 8.01) or (ii) in
the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a
Lender. 
 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 

  
 -45- 








 
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 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 7.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed, 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 that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. 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 7.05. 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 credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

Section 7.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
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 so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$5,000,000,000. 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 (such 30-day period, the
“Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders with the consent of the Borrower so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. 

  
 -46- 








 
In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent
may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) 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 directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for
above in this paragraph. 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 as Administrative Agent of the
retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as
provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 7 and Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Section 7.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each 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 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 7.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Global Coordinators, Syndication
Agent, Documentation Agents or Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Amendments, Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Notes, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Borrower and the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that (i) any provision of this Agreement may be
amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least ten Business Days’ prior
written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within ten Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment,
(ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders, do any of the following: (A) change the percentage of the Commitments of or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of
Lenders, that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder or (B) amend this Section 8.01 and (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and each
Lender that has or is owed obligations under this Agreement or the Notes that are modified by such amendment, waiver or consent, (A) increase or extend the Commitment of such Lender or subject such Lender to any additional obligations (it being
understood that any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase or extension of the Commitment of any Lender), (B) reduce the principal of, or
interest on, the Loans made by such Lender, fees or other amounts payable hereunder to such Lender, (C) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans made by such Lender, fees or other amounts payable
hereunder to such Lender or (D) waive the application of Section 2.13 or otherwise change Section 2.04, Section 2.08, Section 2.11 or Section 2.13 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of any payment or
reduction in the Commitments required thereby and provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action,
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note. 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 the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. 
 (b) Each Lender grants
(x) to the Administrative Agent the right (which right may be exercised by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to purchase all (but not less than all) of such Lender’s Commitments and Loans owing to it, and the Notes held by
it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder at a price equal to the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans owed to such Lender (together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees owed to such Lender) and (y) to the Borrower
the right (which right may be exercised by the Borrower in its sole discretion) to cause an assignment of all (but not less than all) of such Lender’s Commitments and Loans owing to it and the Notes held by it and all of its rights and
obligations hereunder to Eligible Assignees, which right may be exercised by the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) or the Borrower (in its sole discretion), as the case may be, if such Lender refuses to execute any amendment, waiver or
consent which requires the written consent of all the Lenders or all of the affected Lenders and to which the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have agreed. Each Lender agrees that if the Administrative Agent or the
Borrower, as the case may be, exercises its option hereunder, it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 8.07; provided however if such Lender does not execute and deliver such
Assignment and Assumption, it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document pursuant to Section 8.07.

notice to the Administrative Agent, provided that immediately after giving effect to any such revised Schedule 4.01(j) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the representation and warranty made in Section 4.01(j) shall be
true.

(ii) All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications described in clause (i) shall be effective
(1) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal delivery, (2) if delivered by mail, when received by the intended recipient, (3) if delivered by posting to an Approved Electronic Platform, an Internet
website or a similar telecommunication device requiring that a user have prior access to such Approved Electronic Platform, website or other device (to the extent permitted by Section 8.02(b) to be delivered thereunder), when such notice,
demand, request, consent and other communication shall have been made generally available on such Approved Electronic Platform, Internet website or similar device to the class of Person being notified (regardless of whether any such Person must
accomplish, and whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information, compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of
confidentiality) and such Person has been notified in respect of such posting that a communication has been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform, (4) if delivered by posting to a website specified in Section 5.01(i), when such

 (iii)
Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) (unless the Administrative Agent requests that the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) be followed or if the Borrower elects to effect delivery of a communication pursuant to clause (ii)(4)
above) and any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the Borrower shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the
Administrative Agent by properly transmitting such Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to covenant.compliance@jpmorgan.com and
intralinks.publications@jpmorgan.com, with a copy to mijal.x.warat@jpmorgan.com or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in this clause
(iii) shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to the Borrower in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such
manner. 
 (b) Posting of Approved Electronic Communications. 

  
 -50- 








 (i) Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinksTM or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative
Agent in its reasonable judgment to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 

(ii) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security
procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through
a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and the Borrower acknowledge and agree that the distribution of material through an
electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration
provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders and the Borrower hereby approve distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and,
except with respect to any such distribution found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Indemnity Persons, assumes the risks of such
distribution. 
 (iii) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS
IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. 

(iv) Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by
applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

 (c) Treatment of Information. 

(i) Certain of the Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material nonpublic information with respect to the Borrower or its securities (“Restricting Information”). Other Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take
action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may contain Restricting Information. Each Lender acknowledges its obligations under United States Federal and state securities laws. Neither the Administrative Agent
nor any of its Related Parties shall, by making any Communications (including Restricting Information) available to a Lender, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Lender or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any
statement with regard to or otherwise warrant that any such information or Communication does or does not contain Restricting Information nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties be responsible or liable in any way for any
decision a Lender may make to limit or to not limit its access to Restricting Information. In particular, none of the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties (1) shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each
of its Related Parties, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender has or has not limited its access to Restricting Information, such Lender’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material,
nonpublic information or such Lender’s compliance with applicable laws related thereto or (2) shall have, or incur, any liability to (i) any Lender or any of their respective Related Parties arising out of or relating to the
Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Lender or (ii) the Borrower or any of its Related Parties arising out of or relating to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
Parties providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Lender other than as found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
Parties. 
 (ii) The Borrower agrees that (1) all Communications it provides to the Administrative Agent intended for
delivery to the Lenders whether by posting to the Approved Electronic Platform or otherwise shall, if such Communications are determined by the Borrower not to contain Restricting Information, be (A) clearly and conspicuously marked
“PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof and (B) accompanied by a customary authorization letter in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent (any Communication satisfying both (A) and (B), an “Approved PUBLIC Communication”), (2) the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Approved PUBLIC
Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although, in this latter case, such Communications may contain sensitive business information and, therefore, remain subject to the confidentiality undertakings of
Section 8.13) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (3) all Approved PUBLIC Communications may be delivered to all Lenders and may be made available through a
portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Side Information,” and (4) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any 

  
 -52- 








 
Communications that are not Approved PUBLIC Communications as Restricting Information and may post such Communications to a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform not designated “Public
Side Information”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by the Borrower regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public
information with respect to any of the Borrower or their securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates incur any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for any action taken by the Administrative Agent or
any of its Affiliates based upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Lender that may decide not to take access to Restricting Information. Nothing in this
Section 8.02(c) shall modify or limit a Person’s obligations under Section 8.13 with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Information. 

(iii) Each Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that might contain
Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Lender agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information) on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact
information) on such Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Lender’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Restricting
Information may be sent by electronic transmission. 
 (iv) Each Lender acknowledges that Communications delivered hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to all Lenders generally. Each Lender that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does so voluntarily and, by such
election, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and other Lenders may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Lender. Each such electing Lender acknowledges the possibility that, due to its
election not to take access to Restricting Information, it may not have access to any Communications (including, but not by way of limitation, the items required to be made available to the Administrative Agent specified in Section 5.01(i))
unless or until such Communications (if any) have been filed or incorporated into documents which have been filed with the SEC by the Borrower (to the extent that the Borrower shall from time to time be subject to the reporting requirements of the
SEC). None of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender with access to Restricting Information shall have any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Lender or to use such Restricting Information on behalf of such
electing Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information. 
 (v) The
provisions of the foregoing clauses of this Section 8.02(c) are designed to assist the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower in complying with their respective contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where
certain Lenders express a desire not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the Lenders hereunder or thereunder may contain
Restricting 

  
 -53- 








 
Information. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve such purpose nor does
the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties warrant or make any other statement to the effect that the Borrower’s or Lender’s adherence to such provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance by the Borrower or Lender with
its contractual obligations or its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Lenders and the Borrower assume the risks associated therewith. 

Section 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Subject to
Section 3.04, the remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
 Section 8.04.
Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, syndication (including printing, distribution and bank meetings), transportation
and duplication costs, and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead
Arrangers as to their rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the Fee Letters. Such expenses shall be paid by the Borrower upon presentation of an itemized statement of account (after reasonable time for the Borrower to review such
statement of account), regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders,
if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes, the Fee Letters and the other documents to
be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this subsection (a). 

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Lender, and each of their
Affiliates and their and such Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, together with their successors and permitted assigns, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages,
losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason
of, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with (i) the syndication of the credit facility established hereby, this Agreement, the Notes,
the Fee Letters, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any 

  
 -54- 








 
property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING,
IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether or not it is brought by the
Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to the extent such
claim, damage, loss, liability or expense (A) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any of its Related Indemnity Persons or (B) arises
from disputes among two or more Indemnified Parties (but not including any such dispute that involves a Lender to the extent such Lender is acting in any different capacity (i.e., as the Administrative Agent or as a Joint Lead Arranger) under this
Agreement or the Fee Letters or to the extent that it involves the Joint Lead Arrangers’ or the Administrative Agent’s syndication activities). No party to this Agreement shall have any liability based on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, the Notes, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans; provided that this
sentence shall not limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations set forth in this subsection (b). 
 (c) To the extent that the
Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8.04 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents or advisors, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate, officer, director employee, agent or advisor, as the case may be, pro rata in accordance with such
Lender’s outstanding Loans and Commitments or, if no Loans are outstanding and the Commitments have expired or been terminated, such Lender’s Commitments as most recently in effect (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, or was incurred by or asserted against such Affiliate, officer, director, employee, agent or advisor acting for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity, as the case may be. 

(d) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower (or pursuant to Section 8.01(b)) to
or for the account of a Lender other than within 15 days of the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, as a result of a payment, prepayment (whether optional or mandatory) or Conversion pursuant to this Agreement or acceleration of the
maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 6.01, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to
compensate such Lender for any additional reasonable losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, Conversion or failure to prepay, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated
profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Loan. 

  
 -55- 








 (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement hereunder, the agreements and
obligations contained in Sections 2.09, 2.12, 8.04 and 8.13 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes and termination of the Commitments. 

Section 8.05. Right of Set off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the
making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 by the Required Lenders to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Loans due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01 and notice to the
Borrower as required under Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement and any Note held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application, provided that the failure to give such notices shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under
this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have. 

Section 8.06. Binding Effect. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have
been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of the Lenders. 
 Section 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may, with the consent of the
Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and, if demanded by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (w) pursuant to Section 8.01(b), (x) following the right of such Lender to a payment arising
under Section 2.09 or 2.12, (y) following a notice given by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 or (z) if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, in each case, upon at least ten Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, will, assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans owing to it and any Notes held by it),
provided that the Borrower may make a demand with respect to a Lender that has given notice pursuant to Section 2.10 only if the Borrower makes such demand of all Lenders similarly situated that have given such notice; provided
further that, any assignment (i) prior to the funding of the Loans on the Funding Date shall be to (A) a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender; provided that if any assignee under this subclause (A) (to the
extent, in the case of an assignee that is a Lender, not approved by the Borrower in its sole discretion) becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Funding Lender, the assignor shall remain responsible for the assigned Commitment in accordance with an
Assignment and Assumption (the “Prefunding Backstop Requirement”) or (B) any Persons 

  
 -56- 








 
with the consent of the Borrower (in its sole discretion); provided that all assignments by the Initial Lenders or Affiliates or Approved Funds thereof shall be subject to the
Borrower’s consent in its sole discretion except that assignment by an Initial Lender to its Affiliate shall be permitted without consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so long as such Initial Lender shall satisfy the Prefunding
Backstop Requirement and (ii) after the funding of the Loans on the Funding Date, shall be to (A) a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender and (B) other Persons subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be
unreasonably withheld, and such consent to be deemed to have been given if the Borrower shall not have provided a response within ten Business Days of a written request for consent) unless with respect to this clause (ii) an Event of Default
under Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(e) has occurred and is continuing in which case the consent of the Borrower shall not be required and provided further that, (i) [Reserved], (ii) except in the case of an assignment to
a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment of or the outstanding principal amount of the Loans
owing to the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower shall be
arranged by the Borrower after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and
obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (v) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such
assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Loans owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal and all other amounts that have accrued and are payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (vi) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption (it being understood that a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such
Assignment and Assumption on the fifth Business Day following the demand of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and any Notes subject to such assignment (provided that the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment) and (vii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or its securities) will be made available
and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. Upon such execution (including deemed execution), delivery (including deemed
delivery), acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, 

  
 -57- 








 
have (in addition to any such rights and obligations theretofore held by it) the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights other than rights of indemnification under Section 8.04 or otherwise relating to a time prior to the effective date of
such Assignment and Assumption and, except with respect to an applicable Prefunding Backstop Requirement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion
of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
 (b) By executing
and delivering (or being deemed to have executed and delivered) an Assignment and Assumption, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other
than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or
the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such
assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(e), the most recent financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(i) and
such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such
assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated
to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by
the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed
by an assigning Lender, an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee and, to the extent its consent is required pursuant to Section 8.07(a), the Borrower, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent
shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto or is in such other form approved by the Administrative Agent and (x) on or prior to the funding of the Loans on the Funding Date,
the Borrower in its sole discretion and (y) following the funding of the Loans on the Funding Date, so long as no Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (such approval of the
Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower by providing a copy of
such Assignment and Assumption. 

  
 -58- 








 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the unused Commitment of and the principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to
time (the “Register”). Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.14(c), the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Borrower or
any of its Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its unused Commitment and Loans owing to it and any Notes held
by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the obligee of any such Loan for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no Participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except that a Lender may agree with a Participant as to the manner in which the Lender shall exercise the Lender’s rights to
approve any amendment, waiver or consent to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation and (vi) during the period from the
date hereof to (and including) the funding of the Loans on the Funding Date, no participation shall be permitted to any bank or other entity without the consent of the Borrower in its reasonable discretion; provided that, other than with
respect to participations by an Initial Lender or its Affiliate or Approved Fund (which participations shall be subject to the Borrower’s consent in its sole discretion), no such consent shall be required in the case of a participation to a
Lender if the Lender granting the participation shall have given prior written notice of such participation to the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09 and 2.12 (subject to the
requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.12(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.12(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) and 8.04(d) to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09(c) and 8.07(a) 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 2.09 or 2.12, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would


  
 -59- 








 
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; provided the sale of such participation to such Participant was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. 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 8.07(a) relating to assignments on demand with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 8.05 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the
Administrative Agent, or the Borrower, create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Loans owing to it, and any Note or Notes held by it and) to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central banking authority; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder, substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto or have the effect of increasing the costs payable by the Borrower. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.07, (i) the Lenders may not assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of
an interest in any Tranche of Loans or Commitments without also assigning, transferring or otherwise disposing of a ratable interest in the other Tranche of Loans or Commitments (as applicable) and (ii) any assignment, transfer or other
disposition by a Lender of an interest in any Loans or Commitments that does not comply with clause (i) shall be deemed to be an assignment, transfer or other disposition of Loans or Commitments (as applicable) comprised of a ratable amount of
Loans or Commitments (as applicable) of each Tranche to the extent necessary to ensure each such assignment, transfer or other disposition complies with clause (i) above. 

Section 8.08. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York. 

  
 -60- 








 Section 8.09. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 8.10. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the Notes, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or the Notes in
the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any court referred to in Section 8.10(a). Each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

Section 8.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders
hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes or the actions of the Administrative Agent, or
any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof. 
 Section 8.12. USA Patriot Act. Each
Lender, as applicable, and each Joint Lead Arranger hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), they are
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or such Joint Lead Arranger to identify the Borrower in
accordance with the Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Act and is effective as to each Lender and each Joint Lead Arranger. 

Section 8.13. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Joint Lead Arrangers agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees,
agents, 

  
 -61- 








 
advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Joint Lead Arranger, as the case may be, shall inform the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made of the confidential nature of such Information and, in the case of any such disclosure to an Affiliate, director, officer or employee, cause compliance by such Persons with this Section), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena
or similar legal process, provided that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Joint Lead Arranger, as the case may be, shall, unless prohibited by law, notify the Borrower of any disclosure pursuant to this clause (c) as far in
advance as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights
hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement with the Borrower containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section to (i) any permitted assignee of or permitted participant in, or any prospective permitted assignee of or
permitted participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other
representatives) 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, (iii) any rating agency or (iv) the CUSIP Service
Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Joint Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower without a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries having been
breached to the knowledge of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Joint Lead Arranger, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (including the Fee Letters and any information obtained based on a review of the books and records of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses. Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Section 8.14. No Fiduciary Duty. The Borrower
agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates, on
the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in
connection with any such transactions or communications.
