(3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans or of any conversion of LIBO Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date
of any Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans; provided, however, that if the Lead Borrower wishes to request LIBO Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of
“Interest Period”, (A) the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is available to all of them; and (B) not later than 11:00 a.m., two (2) Business Days before the
requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period is available to all of the applicable Lenders. Each
telephonic notice by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, 

  

 -55- 








 
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans shall
be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Lead Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion
of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of LIBO Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of
Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect
thereto. If the Lead Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Lead Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as,
or converted to, Prime Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Prime Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBO Rate Loans. If the Lead Borrower requests a
Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a LIBO Rate Loan. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.02(c), the
Borrowers shall not request, and the Tranche A Lenders shall be under no obligation to fund, any Tranche A Loan unless the Borrowers have borrowed the full amount of the Tranche A-1 Commitments (to the extent that such Tranche A-1 Commitments have
not been terminated). If any Tranche A-1 Loan is prepaid in whole or part pursuant to Section 2.05, any Loans to the Borrowers thereafter requested shall be Tranche A-1 Loans until the maximum principal amount of Tranche A-1 Loans
outstanding equals the Tranche A-1 Commitments and thereafter shall be Tranche A Loans. All Tranche A-1 Credit Extensions shall be solely Tranche A-1 Loans, and all Letters of Credit shall constitute solely Tranche A Credit Extensions. 

(e) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its
Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Prime
Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(c). In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative
Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit
Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds by no later than 4:00 p.m. on the day of receipt by the Administrative Agent (except
that with respect to the initial Credit Extensions on the Closing Date such funds shall be made available reasonably contemporaneously with the consummation of the Tender Offer) either by (i) crediting the account of the Lead Borrower on the
books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Lead Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the
date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Lead Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings,
and second, shall be made available to the Borrowers as provided above. 
 (f) Each Borrowing of Tranche A Loans (other than Swing
Line Loans) shall be made by the Tranche A Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Tranche A Applicable Percentage and each Borrowing of Tranche A-1 Loans shall be made by the Tranche A-1 Lenders pro rata in
accordance with their respective Tranche A-1 Applicable Percentage. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation to fund its Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement nor increase
the obligation of any such other Lender. 
  

 -56- 








 (g) The Administrative Agent, without the request of the Lead Borrower, may advance (i) any
interest, fee, service charge, expenses, or other payment (other than third party fees and expenses or other payments) to which any Lender is entitled from the Loan Parties relating to any Loan or Letter of Credit upon one (1) Business
Day’s prior notice to the Lead Borrower, and (ii) any third party fees and expenses or other payments for which the Loan Parties are responsible pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document to the extent the same have not been paid by the
Loan Parties within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof, with a copy of the invoice therefor, from the Administrative Agent (provided that if an Event of Default exists and is continuing, no such prior notice shall be
required), and, in each case, may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that an Overadvance may result thereby. Unless prior notice is required and provided pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall
advise the Lead Borrower of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof. Such action on the part of the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s rights and the Borrowers’ obligations
under Section 2.05(c). Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this Section 2.02(g) shall bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter applicable to the applicable
Committed Loans that are Prime Rate Loans. 
 (h) Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBO Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on
the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as LIBO Rate Loans without the Consent of the Required Lenders. 
 (i) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBO Rate
Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Prime Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the
Prime Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
 (j) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions
of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans. 
 (k) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to make any Loan or to provide any Letter of
Credit if an Overadvance would result. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, make Permitted Overadvances without the consent of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer and each Lender shall be bound thereby. Any Permitted
Overadvance may constitute a Swing Line Loan. A Permitted Overadvance is for the account of the Borrowers and shall constitute a Loan and an Obligation and shall be repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.05(c). The making of any such Permitted Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make or permit any Permitted Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted
Overadvances to remain outstanding. The making by the Administrative Agent of a Permitted Overadvance shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of Section 2.03 regarding the Tranche A Lenders’ obligations to purchase
participations with respect to Letters of Credit or of Section 2.04 regarding the Tranche A Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Swing Line Loans. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability for, and
no Loan Party or Credit Party shall have the right to, or shall, bring any claim of any kind whatsoever against the Administrative Agent with respect to “inadvertent Overadvances” (i.e., where an Overadvance results from changed
circumstances beyond the control of the Administrative Agent (such as a reduction in the collateral value)) regardless of the amount of any such Overadvance(s).

 2.03 Letters of Credit. 
 (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 
 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the
period from the Closing Date until and including the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with
Section 2.03(b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Tranche A Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrowers and any drawings
thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments and the Borrowing Base, (y) the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Tranche A Lender, plus such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche
A Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.
Each request by the Lead Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the
preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain
Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. Any L/C Issuer (other than Bank of America or any of its Affiliates) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing on each Business Day
of all Letters of Credit issued on the prior Business Day by such L/C Issuer (if any), provided that (A) until the Administrative Agent advises any such L/C Issuer that the provisions of Section 4.02 are not satisfied, or
(B) the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit issued in any such week exceeds such amount as shall be agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such L/C Issuer shall be required to so notify the Administrative Agent in writing
only once each week of the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer during the immediately preceding week as well as the daily amounts outstanding for the prior week, such notice to be furnished on such day of the week as the Administrative Agent
and such L/C Issuer may agree. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 
 (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: 
 (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months
after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the applicable L/C Issuer has approved such expiry date; or 
 (B) the
expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless either such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized on or prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or all the Tranche A Lenders have
approved such expiry date. 
  

 -58- 








 (iii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit without the prior consent of the
Administrative Agent if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms
purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the
L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction,
reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing
Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 
 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate
one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; 
 (C) such Letter of Credit is to be
denominated in a currency other than Dollars; 
 (D) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic
reinstatement of the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder; or 
 (E) a default of any Tranche A Lender’s
obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Tranche A Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Tranche A Lender to
eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Tranche A Lender. 
 (iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if
the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 

(v) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Tranche A Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of
Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or
omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 
 (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of
Letters of Credit. 
 (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Lead Borrower
delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received
by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion)
prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the
L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the
documents to be presented by such 

  

 -59- 








 
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to
the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may
require. Additionally, the Lead Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as
the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. 
 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the
L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Lead Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the
applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit
for the account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of each
Letter of Credit, each Tranche A Lender shall be deemed to (without any further action), and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer, without recourse or warranty, a risk participation in such Letter of Credit
in an amount equal to the product of such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Applicable Percentage multiplied by the amount of such Letter of Credit. Upon any change in the Tranche A Commitments under this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that
with respect to all L/C Obligations, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to reflect the new Tranche A Applicable Percentages of the assigning and assignee Tranche A Lenders. 
 (iii) If the Lead Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer shall, subject to the provisions of this
Section 2.03, issue a Standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C
Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12)-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the
“Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12)-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Lead Borrower shall not be required to make a
specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Standby Letter of
Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be
permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Standby Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or
otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Lead Borrower
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. 
 (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the
beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
  


 -60- 








 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 
 (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the
Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof; provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the L/C Issuer and the Tranche A Lenders
with respect to any such payment. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day after the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C
Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Tranche A Lender of the Honor Date, the
amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Committed
Borrowing of Tranche A Loans that are Prime Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the
principal amount of Prime Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by
the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (ii) Each Tranche A Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Tranche A Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Tranche A Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made
a Tranche A Loan that is a Prime Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other
reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall
bear interest at the Default Rate described in clause (a) of the definition thereof. In such event, each Tranche A Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)
shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Tranche A Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each Tranche A Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for
any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer. 
  

 -61- 








 (v) Each Tranche A Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Tranche A Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Tranche A Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Lead Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any
payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Tranche A Lender fails
to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Tranche A Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Tranche A Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to
the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the
foregoing. If such Tranche A Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Tranche A Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the
relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Tranche A Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Tranche A Lender such Tranche A Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with
Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds
of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Tranche A Lender its Tranche A Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the
period of time during which such Tranche A Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in
Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Tranche A Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Tranche A Applicable Percentage
thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Tranche A Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The
obligations of the Tranche A Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) Obligations Absolute. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 
  

 -62- 








 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers or any
Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
 (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate
in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C
Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee
of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; 
 (v) any other circumstance
or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries; or 
 (vi) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
 provided that the Borrowers shall have no obligation to reimburse such L/C Issuer to the extent that such payment was made in error due to the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such L/C Issuer (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). 
 The Lead Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Lead Borrower’s instructions or
other irregularity, the Lead Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have
any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the
Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for
(i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct;
(iii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of 

  

 -63- 








 
Credit or any error in interpretation of technical terms; or (iv) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that
this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative
Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e);
provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any
direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any
Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may
accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary (or the L/C Issuer may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such
documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of
Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
 (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason
remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, within one Business Day after such request, Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings). Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth
certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit into the
Cash Collateral Account or deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Tranche A Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in an amount equal to 103% of the Outstanding Amount of
all L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings), pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby Consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have
corresponding meanings. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest
bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America, except that Permitted Investments of the type listed in clauses (a) through (e) of the definition thereof may be made at the request of the Lead Borrower at the option and in the reasonable
discretion of the Collateral Agent (and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense); interest or profits, if any, on such Investments shall accumulate in such account. If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any funds held as
Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Tranche A Lenders or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount
of all L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings), the Borrowers will, forthwith upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Collateral Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of
(x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount (other than L/C Borrowings) over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and
claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer and, to the extent not so applied, shall


  

 -64- 








 
thereafter be applied to satisfy other Obligations in the manner specified in Section 2.05 or Section 8.03 hereof, as applicable. If
the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned promptly to the Borrowers but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after such Event of Default is no longer continuing. 
 (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Lead Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of
Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time
of issuance, shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit. 
 (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche A Lender in accordance with its Tranche A Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate
multiplied by the daily Stated Amount under each such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with
Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of
Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand, and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under of each
Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default
exists, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, notify the Lead Borrower that all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate and thereafter such Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default
Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws as long as such Event of Default is continuing. 
 (j) Fronting Fee and
Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (the “Fronting Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit, at a rate equal to
one-eighth of one per cent (0.125%) per annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and payable on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after
the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily
amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the
customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due
and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 
 (k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms
hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

 2.04 Swing Line Loans. 
 (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Tranche A Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that the Outstanding Amount of such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed
Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not
exceed the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Tranche A Loans of any Tranche A Lender at such time, plus such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such
Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based
on the Prime Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Tranche A Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in
an amount equal to the product of such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Applicable Percentage multiplied by the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Lead Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each
such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and
(ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has
received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing
Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers at its office by crediting the
account of the Lead Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender or as otherwise designated in the Swing Line Loan Notice, in immediately available funds. 
 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 
 (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion may request, and shall request on each Settlement Date, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorize the Swing Line Lender to so request on their behalf), that each Tranche A Lender make a Tranche A Loan that is a Prime
Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Tranche A Lender’s 

  

 -66- 








 
Tranche A Applicable Percentage of the principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request
shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Prime Rate Loans, but
subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Lead Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after
delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Tranche A Lender shall make an amount equal to its Tranche A Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Tranche A
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Tranche A Loan that is a Prime Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the
request for Prime Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Tranche A Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each
Tranche A Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Tranche A Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be
paid by such Tranche A Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Tranche A Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Tranche A Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so
paid shall constitute such Tranche A Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any
Tranche A Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (iv) Each Tranche A Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Tranche A Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Tranche A Lender’s obligation to
make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay
Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Tranche A Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any
payment on account of such 

  

 -67- 








 
Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Tranche A Lender its Tranche A Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted,
in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Tranche A Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing
Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Tranche A Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Tranche A
Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such
demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Tranche A Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing
Line Loans. Until a Tranche A Lender funds its Prime Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of
such Tranche A Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line
Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender at the office specified by the Swing Line Lender in writing to the Lead Borrower. 
 2.05 Prepayments. 
 (a) The Borrowers
may, upon notice from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by
the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Prime Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans shall
be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Prime Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each
case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. All payments shall be first applied to Tranche A Loans, and upon payment of Tranche A Loans in full, to Tranche A-1 Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of
such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if LIBO Rate Loans, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Lead Borrower, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein,
provided that if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Lead Borrower (by
notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06. Any prepayment of a LIBO Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on
the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

  

 -68- 








 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05(a) which permit voluntary prepayments of
the Loans, only if all Tranche A Loans, Swing Line Loans and Unreimbursed Amounts are repaid in full may the Borrowers prepay amounts owed with respect to the Tranche A-1 Loans, provided, however, that any such prepayment shall not
(unless otherwise specified by the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 2.06) reduce or terminate the Tranche A-1 Commitments. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05(a) or the immediately preceding sentence, in addition,
the Borrowers may also repay the Tranche A-1 Loans as required upon any reduction or termination of the Tranche A-1 Commitments in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06(d) hereof. 
 (c) The Borrowers may, upon notice from the Lead Borrower to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to
time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice
is given by the Lead Borrower, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, provided further that if a notice of prepayment is given in
connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Lead Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the
specified prepayment date) if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06. 
 (d) If for any reason the
Total Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments and the Borrowing Base, each as then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the
L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(d)
unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments and the Borrowing Base, each as then in effect. 
 (e) If for any reason the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Tranche A Loans of the Tranche A Lenders at such time, plus the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus the Outstanding
Amount of all Swing Line Loans at any time exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments and the Tranche A Borrowing Base, each as then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Tranche A Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings
in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, and if any such excess remains thereafter the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 
 (f) The Loans shall be prepaid and the L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings) Cash Collateralized in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.13 hereof. 
 (g) If any transaction constituting a Prepayment Event is consummated at any time while any Event of
Default is continuing or Availability is less than $250,000,000 after giving effect to such transaction constituting a Prepayment Event, without duplication of the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 6.13(c) hereof (which shall
control in the event of a Cash Dominion Event), the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans and Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings) in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds received by a Loan Party on account of such Prepayment
Event, irrespective of whether a Cash Dominion Event then exists and is continuing. The application of such amount to the prepayment of Loans and Cash Collateralization of the L/C Obligations shall not reduce the Commitments. 
  

 -69- 








 (h) Mandatory prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.05, first, shall be applied
ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing Line Loans, second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Tranche A Loans, third, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Tranche A-1 Loans, fourth, shall be used to Cash
Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings), and, fifth, the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all L/C Borrowings, Swing Line Loans and Committed Loans outstanding at such time and the Cash
Collateralization of the remaining L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings) in full may be retained by (or shall be returned to) the Borrowers for use in the ordinary course of its business. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been
Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the L/C Issuer or the Tranche A Lenders, as applicable. 
 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments 
 (a) The Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Tranche A Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit or from time to time
permanently reduce in part the Tranche A Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three
(3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrowers shall not
reduce (A) the Tranche A Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect
thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations (other than L/C Borrowings) not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, and to any
concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans hereunder would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, provided, further, that a notice of termination of the Tranche A Commitments delivered by the Lead Borrower
may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Lead Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied. 
 (b) If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit
Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit or Swing Line Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. 
 (c) In the event that the Tranche A Commitments are terminated, the Tranche A-1 Commitments shall be automatically terminated. 

(d) The Borrowers may, upon notice from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent, permanently reduce the Tranche A-1 Commitments
in part to an amount not less than $50,000,000 at any time as long as, after giving effect to any such reduction, no Default or Event of Default then exists or would arise as a result thereof and, after giving effect thereto, Availability is not
less than twenty percent (20%) of the Borrowing Base. The Borrowers may also terminate the Tranche A-1 Commitments in whole or permanently reduce the Tranche A-1 Commitments in part, upon notice from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative
Agent, if (x) no Default or Event of Default then exists or would arise as a result thereof, (y) at the time of such termination, Availability (without giving effect to Incremental Availability) is not less than twenty percent
(20%) of the lesser of the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments and the Tranche A 

  

 -70- 








 
Borrowing Base, and (z) the Borrowers have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that Availability (without giving
effect to Incremental Availability), as projected on a pro-forma basis for the twelve (12) months following such termination and any payments made in connection therewith, will be equal to or greater than twenty percent (20%) of the
Tranche A Borrowing Base. Each such reduction shall be in the principal amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for application as provided herein at the effective time of any such
reduction or termination, any amount by which the Outstanding Amount of Tranche A-1 Loans on such date exceed the amount to which the Tranche A-1 Commitments are to be reduced effective on such date, together with such amounts provided in
Section 2.06(e) hereof. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or
reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit, the Tranche A Commitments or Tranche A-1 Commitments under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of the Tranche A Commitments, the Tranche A Commitment of each Tranche A
Lender shall be reduced by such Tranche A Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount. Upon any reduction of the Tranche A-1 Commitments, the Tranche A-1 Commitment of each Tranche A-1 Lender shall be reduced by such Tranche A-1
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount. All fees (including, without limitation, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees) and interest in respect of the Aggregate Commitments accrued until the effective date of any
termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 2.07 Repayment of Loans.

 (a) The Borrowers shall repay to the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans outstanding on such
date. 
 (b) To the extent not previously paid, the Borrowers shall repay the outstanding balance of the Swing Line Loans on the Termination
Date. 
 2.08 Interest. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b) below, (i) each LIBO Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) each Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the
Applicable Margin; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) (i) If any amount payable under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (ii) If any other Event of Default exists, then the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, notify
the Lead Borrower that all outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate and thereafter such Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws for so long as such Event of Default is continuing. 
  

 -71- 








 (iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law. 
 2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of
Section 2.03: 
 (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche A
Lender, in accordance with its Tranche A Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to (i) if the average daily outstanding Credit Extensions (excluding Swing Line Loans) during a calendar quarter equaled fifty percent (50%) or less of
the Aggregate Commitments, 0.50% times the average daily amount by which the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments exceeded the sum of (A) the principal amount of Tranche A Loans then outstanding, and (B) the then outstanding L/C Credit
Extensions during such calendar quarter, or (ii) if the average daily outstanding Credit Extensions (excluding Swing Line Loans) during a calendar quarter exceeded fifty percent (50%) of the Aggregate Commitments, 0.375% times the
average daily amount by which the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments exceeded the sum of (A) the principal amount of Tranche A Loans then outstanding, and (B) the then outstanding L/C Credit Extensions during such calendar quarter. The
Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche A-1 Lender, in accordance with its Tranche A-1 Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to (i) if the average daily outstanding Credit Extensions during a
calendar quarter equaled fifty percent (50%) or less of the Aggregate Commitments, 0.50% times the average daily amount by which the then Aggregate Tranche A-1 Commitments exceeded the principal amount of Tranche A-1 Loans then
outstanding during such calendar quarter, or (ii) if the average daily outstanding Credit Extensions during a calendar quarter exceeded fifty percent (50%) of the Aggregate Commitments, 0.375% times the average daily amount by which
the Aggregate Tranche A-1 Commitments exceeded the principal amount of Tranche A-1 Loans then outstanding during such calendar quarter. The commitment fees shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which
one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. 
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Arrangers and the
Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 
 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Prime Rate Loans when the Prime Rate is determined by Bank of
America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days
elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion
thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  

 -72- 








 2.11 Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent (the
“Loan Account”) in the ordinary course of business. In addition, each Lender may record in such Lender’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and
prepayment of principal of any such Loan, and each payment of interest, fees and other amounts due in connection with the Obligations due to such Lender. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the
obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect
of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of
its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Upon receipt of an affidavit and indemnity of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s Note and upon cancellation of such Note, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu
thereof, a replacement Note in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor, at such Lender’s expense. 
 (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Tranche A Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
evidencing the purchases and sales by such Tranche A Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and
records of any Tranche A Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
 2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 
 (a) General. All payments to
be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent
will distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on
a day other than a Business Day, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans (or in the case of any Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or in the case of a 

  

 -73- 








 
Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to
the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to the applicable Committed Loans that are Prime Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender
shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its
share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any
claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Payments
by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to
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. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Lead Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative
Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit
Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4.02 hereof), the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like
funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the
Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed
Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 
  


 -74- 








 (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon, greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein (including as in contravention of the priorities of payment set forth in Section 8.03), then the
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans
of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably and in the priorities set forth in Section 8.03, provided that:

 (i) if any such participations or sub-participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations or sub-participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
 Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against
such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 
 2.14 Settlement Amongst Lenders 
 (a) The amount of each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of outstanding Loans (including outstanding Swing Line Loans) shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s discretion) and
shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Loans (including Swing Line Loans) and repayments of Loans (including Swing Line Loans) received by the Administrative Agent as of 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the
“Settlement Date”) following the end of the period specified by the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) The
Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary
statement, (i) the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender its Applicable Percentage of repayments, and (ii) each Lender shall transfer to the Administrative Agent (as provided below) or the Administrative Agent shall transfer
to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all Loans outstanding as of such
Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders 

  

 -75- 








 
and is received prior to 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if
received after 1:00 p.m., then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent
any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such
amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, equal to 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. 
 ARTICLE III. 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY; 
 APPOINTMENT OF LEAD BORROWER 
 3.01 Taxes. 
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting
the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of and basis for calculating such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments.
As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
  

 -76- 








 (e) Status of Lenders. Any Agent, L/C Issuer or Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver
to the Lead Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed
by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Such delivery shall be required on the Closing Date (or, in the case of an assignee, on the date of assignment) and on or before the
date such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation so delivered or as may reasonably be requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In
addition, any Lender or L/C Issuer, if requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will
enable the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or L/C Issuer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, (1) any Foreign
Lender shall deliver to the Lead 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 Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party, 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 
 (iii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY with any accompanying statements and certificates, 
 (iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 
 (v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding
tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Lead Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
 (2) any Lender which is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Lead 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 Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Lender is legally
entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-9; provided, however, that a Person that the Borrowers may treat as an “exempt recipient” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c) (without regard to the third sentence thereof) shall not be
required to deliver an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, except to the extent necessary to avoid U.S. withholding taxes under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1; or 
  

 -77- 








 (ii) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from
or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Lead Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer shall become aware that it is entitled
to claim a refund or credit from a Governmental Authority in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3.01, the Administrative Agent, or such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall promptly notify such Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and, if the Administrative Agent, or such Lender or the L/C Issuer
determines in good faith that making a claim for refund will not have a materially adverse effect on its Taxes or business operations, shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request by such Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental
Authority for such refund. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect
to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this
Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the
Borrowers or any other Person. 
 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or
that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBO Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Lead Borrower through the Administrative
Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBO Rate Loans of such Lender to Prime Rate
Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans. Upon any
such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
  

 -78- 








 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in
connection with any request for a LIBO Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBO Rate
Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan, or (c) the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed LIBO Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or
maintain LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Lead Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBO Rate Loans. 
 (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or
deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
reflected in the LIBO Rate) or the L/C Issuer; 
 (ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBO Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes which shall be governed by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement
or LIBO Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the
cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBO Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or
of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer and delivery of the certificate contemplated by Section 3.04(c), the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital
Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding
capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the 

  

 -79- 








 
L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon delivery of the certificate contemplated by
Section 3.04(c), the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, and the method for calculating such amount or amounts, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to the Lead Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Lead Borrower of the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the six (6)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 (e)
Reserves on LIBO Rate Loans. The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently
known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBO Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith,
which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Lead Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of
such notice. 
 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time,
the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any LIBO Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration,
or otherwise); 
 (b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to
prepay, borrow, continue or convert any LIBO Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Lead Borrower; or 
 (c)
any assignment of a LIBO Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; 
  

 -80- 








 including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds
obtained by it to maintain such LIBO Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 
 For
purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBO Rate Loan made by it at the LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other
borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBO Rate Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower. 
 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) Designation of a Different Lending
Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights
and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04,
as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13. 
 3.07 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments
and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 
 3.08 Designation of Lead Borrower as Borrowers’ Agent. 
 (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Credit Extensions, the proceeds of
which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to each Credit Party on account of Credit Extensions so made as if made
directly by the applicable Credit Party to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Credit Extensions are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower. In addition, each Loan Party other than the
Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Loan Party’s agent to represent such Loan Party in all respects under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (b) Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own
account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers.

 (c) The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a

prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (it being understood that such projected financial information is subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the
Loan Parties, that no assurance is given that any particular projections will be realized, that actual results may differ and that such differences may be material). 
 5.16 Compliance with Laws. Each of the Loan Parties and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees
applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or 

  

 -90- 








 
order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply
therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.17
Intellectual Property. Except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all of the Intellectual Property that is reasonably
necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Lead Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other
material now employed by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary infringes upon any intellectual property rights held by any other Person, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in
Schedule 5.17, no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Lead Borrower, threatened, which, in any such case, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.18 Labor Matters. Except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, there are no strikes, lockouts, slowdowns or other material labor disputes against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened. No Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries has any
outstanding liability or obligation under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act or similar state Law, except to the extent such liability or obligation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any
Loan Party and its Subsidiaries, or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or properly accrued in accordance with GAAP as a liability
on the books of such Loan Party, except to the extent such non-payment would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.18, as of the Closing Date, no Loan Party or any Subsidiary is a
party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement. There are no complaints, unfair labor practice charges, grievances, arbitrations, unfair employment practices charges or any other claims or complaints against any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary pending with any Governmental Authority or arbitrator based on, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise relating to the employment or termination of employment of any employee of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except
to the extent such complaints, unfair labor practice charges, grievances, arbitrations, unfair employment practices charges or any other claims or complaints would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is bound.

 5.19 Security Documents. 
 (a) The Security Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties referred to therein, a legal, valid, and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the
Security Agreement), the enforceability of which is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. The UCC financing statements, releases and other filings delivered by the Loan Parties on the Closing Date are in appropriate form and have been or will be filed in the offices specified in the
Security Agreement. Upon such filings and/or the obtaining of “control” (as such term is defined in the UCC) to the extent required by the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent will have a perfected Lien on, and security interest in, to and


  

 -91- 








 
under all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in all Collateral that may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing
statement or analogous document (including without limitation the proceeds of such Collateral subject to the limitations relating to such proceeds in the UCC) or, to the extent required by the Loan Documents, by obtaining control, under the UCC (in
effect on the date this representation is made). 
 (b) When the Security Agreement (or a short-form version thereof) is filed
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office and when financing statements, releases and other filings in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified in the Security Agreement, the Security
Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the applicable Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property (as defined in the Security Agreement) in which a security interest may be
perfected by filing, recording or registering a security agreement, financing statement or analogous document in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable (it being understood that subsequent
recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a Lien on registered trademarks, trademark applications and copyrights acquired by the Loan Parties after the date
hereof). 
 (c) The Mortgages create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties referred to
therein, a legal, valid, and enforceable Lien in the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Mortgages), the enforceability of which is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’
rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. Upon the filing of the Mortgages with the appropriate Governmental Authorities and the payment of any mortgage
recording taxes or fees, the Collateral Agent will have a perfected Lien on, and security interest in, to and under all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in all Mortgaged Property that may be perfected by such filing (including
without limitation the proceeds of such Mortgaged Property). 
 5.20 Solvency. 
 After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and before and after giving effect to each Credit Extension, the Loan Parties, on
a Consolidated basis, are Solvent. No transfer of property has been or will be made by any Loan Party and no obligation has been or will be incurred by any Loan Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud either present or future creditors of any Loan Party. 
 5.21 Deposit

as of the Closing Date, which Schedule includes, in each case as of the Closing Date (i) the name and address of the depository with respect to each DDA, (ii) the account number(s) maintained with such depository with respect to each DDA,
(iii) a contact person at such depository with respect to each DDA, and (iv) the identification of each Blocked Account Bank. 
 (b) Annexed hereto as Schedule 5.21(b) is a list of all arrangements as of the Closing Date to which any Loan Party is a party with respect to the processing and/or payment to such Loan Party of the proceeds of any credit card
charges and debit card charges for sales made by such Loan Party. 
  

 -92- 








 5.22 Brokers. No broker or finder (other than the Arrangers, the Agents and their
Affiliates) brought about the obtaining, making or closing of the Loans or the Loan Documents, and no Loan Party or Affiliate thereof has any obligation to any Person (other than the Arrangers, the Agents and their Affiliates) in respect of any
finder’s or brokerage fees in connection therewith. 
 5.23 Customer and Trade Relations. There exists no actual or, to
the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened, termination or cancellation of, or any adverse modification or change in the business relationship of any Loan Party with any supplier material to its operations, which, in any case, would reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.24 Casualty. Neither the businesses nor the properties of any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries are affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the public enemy or other casualty (whether or not covered by insurance)
that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.25 Acquisition 

 (a) The Loan Parties have delivered to the Administrative Agent a complete and correct copy of the Merger Agreement,
including all schedules and exhibits thereto. Such Merger Agreement sets forth the material terms of the agreement and understanding of the parties thereto relating to the subject matter thereof. The execution, delivery and performance of the Merger
Agreement and all other documents and agreements related thereto has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent of stockholders or other holders of
Equity Interests of each Person party thereto as required by law or by any applicable corporate or other organizational documents, in each case, with respect to the transactions contemplated to be consummated as of the Closing Date) on the part of
each such Person. All consents, approvals, authorizations or actions required under the Merger Agreement for the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, to the extent occurring on the Closing Date, have been obtained on or prior to
the Closing Date. The Merger Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 (b) All aspects of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to be consummated as of the Closing Date have been effected in
all material respects in accordance with terms of the Merger Agreement and, to the extent required by the Merger Agreement, applicable Law. As of the Closing Date, there does not exist any temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent
injunction or other judgment, order or decree issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition in effect, and no Law has been enacted, entered, promulgated, enforced or deemed applicable by any Governmental
Authority that, in any case, prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Merger.

materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Loan Parties hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the
“Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a
“Public Lender”). The Loan Parties hereby agree that so long as any Loan Party is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered or issued pursuant to a private offering, they will use commercially
reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) the Lead Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that such Borrower Materials shall be
clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” 

  

 -96- 








 
shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have
authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Loan Parties
or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in
Section 10.07); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the
Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.” 
 6.03 Notices. Notify the Administrative Agent of the following promptly after any Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower obtains
knowledge thereof: 
 (a) of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; 
 (b) of any matter that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (c) of the commencement of, or any material development in, any litigation or proceeding affecting any Loan Party or any Subsidiary

 (j) of any notice of any material non-compliance with applicable Laws with respect to any Property (as defined in the Mortgages relating
to Eligible Real Estate) which it receives or any pending proceedings in respect thereof. 
 Each notice pursuant to this Section shall be
accompanied by a statement of a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the Lead Borrower has taken and proposes to take with respect thereto. Each notice pursuant
to Section 6.03(a) shall describe the provisions of this Agreement and any other Loan Document that have been breached to the knowledge of such Responsible Officer.

 6.04 Payment of Obligations. Pay and discharge as the same shall become due and payable,
(i) all tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its properties or assets, and (ii) all lawful claims (including, without limitation, claims of landlords, warehousemen, customs brokers, and carriers)
which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon its property, except, in each case, where (a)(i) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) such Loan Party has set aside on its books
adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP, (iii) such contest effectively suspends collection of the contested obligation and enforcement of any Lien securing such obligation, and (iv) no Lien has been filed with
respect thereto (other than Permitted Encumbrances under clause (a) of the definition of such term) or (b) the failure to make payment could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to limit the rights of the Agents with respect to determining Reserves pursuant to this Agreement. 
 6.05 Preservation of
Existence, Etc. 
 (a) Preserve, renew and maintain in full force and effect its legal existence and good standing under the Laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization or formation except in a transaction permitted by Section 7.04 or 7.05, and except, in the case of such good standing, to the extent that the failure to preserve, renew or maintain such good standing
would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; (b) take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges, permits, licenses and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except to
the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) preserve or renew all of its Intellectual Property, except to the extent such Intellectual Property is no longer used or useful in the
conduct of the business of the Loan Parties or the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 6.06 Maintenance of Properties 
 Except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, (i) maintain, preserve and protect all of its properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; and (ii) make all necessary repairs
thereto and renewals and replacements thereof. 
 6.07 Maintenance of Insurance. 
 (a) Maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies (or through self-insurance arrangements), insurance with respect to
its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business and operating in the same or similar locations or as is required by applicable Law, of such types and in
such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance compatible with the following standards) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons and as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. 

(b) Fire and extended coverage policies maintained with respect to any Collateral shall be endorsed or otherwise amended to include
(i) a non-contributing mortgage clause (regarding improvements to real property) and lenders’ loss payable clause (regarding personal property), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, which endorsements or
amendments shall provide that the insurer shall pay all proceeds otherwise 

  

 -98- 








 
payable to the Loan Parties under the policies directly to the Collateral Agent (provided that unless a Cash Dominion Event then exists, the
Collateral Agent shall promptly remit the proceeds to the Lead Borrower or as the Lead Borrower may direct) and (ii) a provision to the effect that none of the Loan Parties, Credit Parties or any other Person shall be a co-insurer. Commercial
general liability policies shall be endorsed to name the Collateral Agent as an additional insured. Business interruption policies shall name the Collateral Agent as a loss payee and shall be endorsed or amended to include (i) a provision that,
from and after the Closing Date, the insurer shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Loan Parties under the policies directly to the Collateral Agent (provided that unless a Cash Dominion Event then exists, the Collateral Agent shall
promptly remit the proceeds to the Lead Borrower or as the Lead Borrower may direct) and (ii) a provision to the effect that none of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other party shall be a co-insurer. Each
such policy referred to in this Section 6.07(b) shall also provide that it shall not be canceled (i) by reason of nonpayment of premium except upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the
Collateral Agent (giving the Collateral Agent the right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums) or (ii) for any other reason except upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the
Collateral Agent. The Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, on or prior to the date of the cancellation or expiration of any such policy of insurance, or modification materially reducing the scope or amount of coverage of such
policies of insurance, a copy of any applicable renewal or replacement insurance certificate. 
 (c) If at any time the area
in which any Eligible Real Estate is located is designated (i) a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), obtain flood insurance in an amount
and form that complies with the requirements under the National Flood Insurance Act, or (ii) a “Zone 1” area, obtain earthquake insurance in such total amount as is reasonable and customary for companies engaged in the Business.

 (d) None of the Credit Parties, or their agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the
insurance policies required to be maintained under this Section 6.07. Each Loan Party shall look solely to its insurance companies or any other parties other than the Credit Parties for the recovery of such loss or damage and such
insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation against any Credit Party or its agents or employees. If, however, the insurance policies do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then the Loan
Parties hereby agree, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to waive their right of recovery, if any, against the Credit Parties and their agents and employees. The designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by the any Credit
Party under this Section 6.07 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by such Credit Party that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of the Loan Parties or the protection of their
properties. None of the foregoing shall affect the obligation of the Collateral Agent, unless a Cash Dominion Event exists, to promptly remit any proceeds it receives under any insurance policy to the Lead Borrower or as the Lead Borrower may
direct. 
 (e) Maintain for themselves and their Subsidiaries, a Directors and Officers insurance policy, and a “Blanket
Crime” policy including employee dishonesty, forgery or alteration, theft, disappearance and destruction, robbery and safe burglary, property, and computer fraud coverage with responsible companies in such amounts as are customarily carried by
business entities engaged in similar businesses similarly situated, and will, upon written request by the Administrative Agent, furnish the Administrative Agent certificates evidencing renewal of each such policy. 
  

 -99- 








 6.08 Compliance with Law. Comply with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs,
injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property, as well as any reciprocal easement agreements or covenants of record applicable to the Property (as defined in the Mortgages), except in such instances in which (a)(i) such
requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside and maintained by the Loan Parties in accordance
with GAAP; and (ii) such contest effectively suspends enforcement of the contested Laws, orders, writs, injunctions or decrees, or (b) the failure to comply with any of the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 6.09 Books and Records; Accountants 
 (a) Maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP consistently applied, in which entries true and correct in all
material respects shall be made of financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be; and (ii) maintain such books of record and account in material conformity with
all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. 
 (b) At all times retain a Registered Public Accounting Firm. 
 6.10 Inspection Rights 
 (a) Permit representatives and independent contractors of the Administrative Agent to visit and inspect any of its properties and to

any awards, proceeds, damages or claims arising in connection with any condemnation or injury to any Real Estate subject to a Mortgage) or the validity or priority of any such Lien, all at the expense of the Loan Parties and to the extent required
by the Security Documents and this Agreement. 
 (b) If any material assets are acquired by any Loan Party after the Closing Date (other than

in fee by any Loan Party (unless, with respect to any such Real Estate, the Administrative Agent determines that the fees and expenses of obtaining a Mortgage with respect to such Real Estate would be disproportionate to the expected benefits to the

action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking of the Property and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such condemnation or other taking, provided that no settlement thereof with respect to Eligible Real Estate
shall be made without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent.

 ARTICLE IX. 
 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 9.01
Appointment and Authority. 
 (a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America 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 

  

 -114- 








 
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Credit Parties, and no Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions (other than the provisions of
Section 9.06). 
 (b) Each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender), the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer
hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America as Collateral Agent and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any
of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and
remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c)), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Persons serving as the Agents hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in their capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral 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 or the Collateral 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 Loan Parties or
any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Agents 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 Agents: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied 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 or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 no Agent shall be required to take any action
that, in its respective opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such 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 Loan Parties or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

  

 -115- 








 No Agent shall be liable to any Credit Party 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 such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and
8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 The Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by the Loan
Parties, a Lender or the L/C Issuer. In the event that the Agents obtain such actual knowledge or receive such a notice, the Agents shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the Lenders and L/C Issuers. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until the Agents shall have received such direction, the Agents may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Credit Parties. In no event shall the Agents be required to comply with any such
directions to the extent that any Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful. 
 The Agents shall not be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any
Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by
the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to the Agents. 
 9.04 Reliance by Agents. 
 Each 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, but not limited
to, 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. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to
it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter
of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received written notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Loan Party), 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. 
 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each 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 such Agent. Each 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 Agents 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 such Agent. 
  

 -116- 








 9.06 Resignation of Agents. Either Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to
the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Lead Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any
such bank with an office in the United States and shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment, be reasonably acceptable to the Lead Borrower (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf
of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall notify the
Lead Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue
to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to
each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties
and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Lead Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent hereunder. 
 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to
enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents 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. Except as
provided in Section 9.12, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may
come into the possession of the Agents. 
 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the
Arrangers, Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agents, Joint Book Runners or Senior Managing Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in
its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder. 
  

 -117- 








 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations
and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, such Credit Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer
the Administrative Agent and such Credit Parties under Sections 2.03(i), 2.03(j) 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or
the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the
L/C Issuer in any such proceeding. 
 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Credit Parties irrevocably authorize the Agents, at
their option and in their discretion, 
 (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent
under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the expiration or termination of all
Letters of Credit, (ii) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified 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) in accordance with Section 10.01; 
 (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien
on such property that is permitted by clause (h) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances; and 
  

 -118- 








 (c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty and each
other applicable Loan Document if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. 
 Upon request by any Agent at any
time, 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) will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in
particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty and each other applicable Loan Document pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section
9.10, the Agents will, at the Loan Parties’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and
Lien granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty and each other applicable Loan Document, in each case in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10. 
 9.11 Notice of Transfer. 
 The Agents may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Loans and Commitments for all purposes,
unless and until, and except to the extent, an Assignment and Acceptance shall have become effective as set forth in Section 10.06. 
 9.12 Reports and Financial Statements. 
 By signing this Agreement, each Lender: 
 (a) agrees to furnish the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event (and thereafter at
such frequency as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) with a summary of all Other Liabilities due or to become due to such Lender. In connection with any distributions to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
assume that no amounts are due to any Lender on account of Other Liabilities unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice thereof from such Lender; 
 (b) is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after they become available, copies of all
financial statements and Borrowing Base Certificates required to be delivered by the Lead Borrower hereunder and all commercial finance examinations and appraisals of the Collateral received by the Agents (collectively, the
“Reports”); 
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent makes no representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of the Reports, and shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report;

significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel; 
 (e) agrees to keep all Reports confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07 hereof; and

Credit Extensions that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans; and (ii) to pay and protect, and
indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including attorney costs) incurred by the Agents and any
such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
 9.13 Agency for Perfection. 
 Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose
of perfecting Liens for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable Law of the United States can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the
Agents) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agents thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such
Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. 
 9.14 Indemnification of Agents. The Lenders shall indemnify
the Agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Agent in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 9.15 Relation among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except
as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agents) authorized to act for, any other Lender. 
 9.16 Defaulting Lender. 

(a) If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation
its obligation to make available to Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of any Loans, expenses or setoff or purchase its Applicable Percentage of a participation interest in the Swing Line Loans or L/C Borrowings and such failure is not
cured within two (2) days of receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the other Credit Parties, the Loan Parties or any other party at law or in
equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Obligations, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during
the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Loan Parties, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining
non-Defaulting Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Obligations until, as 

  

 -120- 








 
a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective Applicable Percentages of all outstanding Obligations shall have returned to
those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Defaulting Lender’s decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses
(i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Defaulting Lender of its Applicable Percentage of any Loans, any participation obligation, or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at
a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid. 
 (b) The non-Defaulting Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to
cause the termination and assignment, without any further action by the Defaulting Lender for no cash consideration (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right), of the Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans. Upon any such purchase of the Applicable Percentage of any Defaulting Lender, the Defaulting Lender’s share in future Credit Extensions and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto
shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. 
 (c) Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each non-Defaulting Lender from and against any and all loss,
damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by the Administrative Agent or by any non-Defaulting Lender, on account of a Defaulting Lender’s failure to timely fund its Applicable
Percentage of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by
electronic communication. Each Agent and the Lead Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of
such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes,

ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Agents or any of their Related Parties (collectively,
the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the
Loan Parties’ or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, the L/C
Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Loan Parties even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner
specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Loan Parties shall indemnify
the Agents, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Loan Parties. All
telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Agents may be recorded by the Agents, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of

enforce the Collateral or in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, or (D) any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of any Obligations; (b) with respect to the L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder; and (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Credit
Parties who are not the Agents, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuer or any Affiliate of any of them, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, provided that such Credit Parties shall be entitled to reimbursement for no more
than one counsel representing all such Credit Parties (absent a conflict of interest in which case the Credit Parties may engage and be reimbursed for additional counsel). 
 (b) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Credit
Party, and each Related Party of any of the 

  

 -125- 








 
foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, settlement payments, costs, and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, but excluding Taxes, which shall be governed by
Section 3.01), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Agents (and any sub-agents thereof) and their Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit),
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, (iv) any claims of, or amounts paid by any Credit Party to, a Blocked Account Bank or other Person which has entered into a control agreement with any Credit Party hereunder, or (v) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Loan Parties’ directors,
shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by a Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of
such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrowers or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. Without limiting their obligations under Section 9.14 hereof, to the extent
that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related
Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agents (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing
acting for the Agents (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Loan Parties shall not assert, and
hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the 

  

 -126- 








 
proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials
distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on demand (accompanied by back-up documentation, to the extent
available). 
 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of any Agent and the L/C
Issuer, the assignment of any Commitment or Loan by any Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Loan Parties is made to any Credit Party, or any Credit Party
exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by
such Credit Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Agents upon
demand its Applicable Percentage (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agents, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate
from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 10.06 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a)
Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written Consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way
of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall
be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.06(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Credit Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)
Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for
purposes of this Section 10.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum Amounts. 
 (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 
  

 -127- 








 (B) in any case not described in Section 10.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of
the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless
each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment
for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not
(A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans, or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or any portion of its rights and obligations with respect to its Tranche A Commitment and its
Tranche A-1 Commitment on a non-pro rata basis; 
 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by Section 10.06(b)(i)(B) and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Lead
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) has not then been completed, (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at
the time of such assignment or (3) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 
 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of
such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and 
 (C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the assignment of any Tranche A Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to
such Lender; and 
 (D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall
be required for any assignment in respect of the assignment of any Tranche A Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender. 
  

 -128- 








 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing
and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee
thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective
date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 10.06(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d). 
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower and any Lender
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without
the consent of, or notice to, the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Loan Parties or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations
and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments and owner of its participations or other interest in any letter of Credit for all purposes hereunder, and (iv) the Loan Parties, the Agents, the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any Participant shall agree in writing to comply with all confidentiality
obligations set forth in Section 10.07 as if such Participant was a Lender hereunder. 
 Each Lender, acting for this purpose as
an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at its offices a record of each agreement or instrument effecting any participation and a register for the 

  

 -129- 








 
recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants and their rights with respect to principal amounts and other Obligations from time to time (each a
“Participation Register”). The entries in each Participation Register shall be conclusive and the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Participant Register as a Participant for
all purposes of this Agreement. The Participation Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, or 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b) from and after the time that the Participant’s
participation is entered in the Participation Register. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject
to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant
is made with the Lead Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Lead Borrower is notified of the participation sold
to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee
for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to
Section 10.06(b), Bank of America may, (i) upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lead Borrower, resign as Swing Line
Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Lead Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no
failure by the Lead Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers,


  

 -130- 








 
privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by Bank of America or its Affiliates outstanding as of the
effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Prime Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section
2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Prime Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender,
(a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit
in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, funding sources, attorneys, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena
or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Lead Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a
non-confidential basis from a source (only if such Credit Party has no knowledge that such source itself is not in breach of a confidentiality obligation) other than the Loan Parties. 
 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof relating to
the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Credit Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof
(provided that if such information is furnished by a source known to such Credit Party to be subject to a confidentiality obligation, such source, to the knowledge of such Credit Party, is not in violation of such obligation by such
disclosure). 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. 
 Each of the Credit Parties
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including federal and state securities Laws. 
  

 -131- 








 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender,
the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer
or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document then due and owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, regardless
of the adequacy of the Collateral, and irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be
contingent or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Lead Borrower and the
Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid
under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent
or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and
the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy or other electronic image scan transmission (e.g., “pdf” or “tif” via e-mail) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 10.11 Survival. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or
thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Credit Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any
Credit Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan 
  

 -132- 








 
or any other Obligation (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which claims have not been asserted) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or
any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. Further, the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the
Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the
security interests in the Collateral, the Agents may require such indemnities and collateral security as they shall reasonably deem necessary to protect the Credit Parties against (x) loss on account of credits previously applied to the
Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, and (y) any obligations that may thereafter arise with respect to the Other Liabilities. 
 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 
 10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Lender
delivers a notice described in Section 3.02, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Lead Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to its Tranche A Commitments or its Tranche A-1 Commitments (or both) under this Agreement and the
related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
 (a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b); 
 (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Tranche A Loans and L/C Advances,
Tranche A-1 Loans or both, as applicable, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees in respect thereof and all other amounts payable to it hereunder in respect thereof and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05)
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in
such compensation or payments thereafter; and 
 (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 
 (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02.

RIGHT IT 

  

 -134- 








 
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with
all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties each acknowledge and agree that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection
with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, and each of the Loan Parties
is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof);
(ii) except as otherwise expressly agreed, in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each Credit Party is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Loan Parties or
any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) except as otherwise expressly agreed, none of the Credit Parties has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in
favor of the Loan Parties with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether
any of the Credit Parties has advised or is currently advising any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Credit Parties has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ
from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Credit Parties has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Credit Parties have not
provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the
Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have
against each of the Credit Parties with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty. 
 10.17 USA PATRIOT Act
Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties 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”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party
and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act. Each Loan Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act. No part of the
proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Loan Parties, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an
official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended. 
  

 -135- 








 10.18 Foreign Asset Control Regulations. 
 Neither of the advance of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C.
§ 1 et seq., as amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “Foreign Assets
Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property
and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate
Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)). Furthermore, none of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries (a) is or will become a “blocked person” as described in the Executive Order, the Trading
With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or (b) engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked person” or in any manner violative of any such order.

 10.19 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. 
 10.20 Press Releases. 
 (a) Each Credit Party agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is
required to do so under applicable Law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will consult with the Administrative Agent before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. 
 (b) Each Credit Party agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure
using the name of the Lead Borrower or its Subsidiaries without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent unless (and only to the extent that)
such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under applicable Law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will consult with the Lead Borrower before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. Subject to the
foregoing, each Loan Party consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Loan Party’s name, product photographs,
logo or trademark. The Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. 
 10.21 Additional Waivers. 
 (a) The
Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or
demand or to enforce or exercise any right or 

  

 -136- 








 
remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment
or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by
or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each Loan
Party shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination of the Commitments), including any claim of waiver,
release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the
Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any
claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of
any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination of the Commitments). 
 (c) To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of
any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments. The Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one
or more of them by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise
any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash
and the Commitments have been terminated. Each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or
other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security. 
 (d) Each Loan Party is
obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement. Upon payment by any Loan Party of any Obligations, all rights of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations, the termination of the Commitments and
termination of the L/C Issuer’s obligation to issue Letters of Credit hereunder. In addition, any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible
payment in full of the Obligations and no Loan Party will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution,
reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against
the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that any Loan Party shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several
obligor, repay any of the Obligations 

  

 -137- 








 
constituting Loans made to another Loan Party hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Loan Party (an
“Accommodation Payment”), then the Loan Party making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Loan Parties in an amount, for each of such other
Loan Parties, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Loan Party’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Loan Parties. As of any
date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Loan Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Loan Party hereunder without (a) rendering such
Loan Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act
(“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Loan Party with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such
Loan Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. 
 (e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby
absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California.

 10.22 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In
the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. 
 10.23 Attachments. The exhibits, schedules and annexes attached to this Agreement
are incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this Agreement for the purposes stated herein, except that in the event of any conflict between any of the provisions of such exhibits and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
