Pro Forma Compliance with a Total Leverage Ratio of not more than 6.00:1.00 both on the date on which the extension request is given to the Administrative Agent and on the first day of the extension (and attaching reasonably detailed calculations

 (f) if required by the
Administrative Agent, execution and delivery of a written agreement evidencing the extension among the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties; and such other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions of counsel as the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably request in connection with such extension.

PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; PREPAYMENTS; FEES 

Section 3.01 Repayment of Loans. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of
the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date. 
 Section 3.02 Interest. 

(a) PIK Interest. The Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal the Applicable PIK Rate which shall accrue and be
paid in kind, by being added to the principal balance of the outstanding Loans on the last day of each calendar quarter, beginning on June 30, 2016, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately following such last
day of the calendar quarter (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”). On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the aggregate amount of interest accrued
with respect to the Loans that has been paid-in-kind by being added to the balance thereof in accordance with this clause (a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Parent’s market capitalization (as determined by
reference to the ATLS Unit Price) is greater than $75,000,000 at any time during the term of this Agreement, then with at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the last Business Day of the applicable
quarter, the Borrower may elect by delivery of written notice to the Administrative Agent delivered not less than three Business Days prior to end of any calendar quarter, to pay the accrued interest for such calendar quarter by delivery to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable distribution to the Lenders, of a number of shares of Parent’s common units equal to the accrued interest for such calendar quarter divided by the ATLS Unit Price on the Business Day immediately prior to
such Interest Payment Date. To the extent the Borrower elects to pay interest accrued under this paragraph by issuing Parent common units, the parties hereto agree to treat Parent as repaying such accrued interest with cash and as if each applicable
lender acquired Parent common units for such cash payment for federal, state and local tax purposes. 

  
 -33- 








 (b) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default set
forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (g), (h), or (i) of Section 10.01 is outstanding, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% plus the
Applicable PIK Rate, which shall be paid in kind, by being added to the principal balance of the outstanding Loans and shall be payable on the same terms as set forth in paragraph (a) above. 

(c) Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days
(or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day of the relevant computation period).

Section 3.03 [Reserved]. 

Section 3.04 Prepayments. 
 (a)
Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made to it in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.04(b), but each prepayment must
be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (or if less, the entire principal amount thereof outstanding). 

(b) Notice and Terms of Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any prepayment
hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m., New York, New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment (or such shorter period agreed by each Lender of such Borrowing to be prepaid and the Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders
of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing (other than pursuant to Section 3.04(c)) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing as provided in
Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. 

(c) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) No later than the twenty-fifth (25th) Business Day following the last day of each calendar month, beginning with the calendar month
ending June 30, 2016, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with reasonably detailed calculations of Excess Distributable Cash for such calendar month then ended and Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans or First Lien Loans (as
elected by the Borrower in its sole discretion) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100.0% of Excess Distributable Cash for such calendar month then ended.

(ii) (A) If (x) the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets to any Person other than a Loan Party (other than
any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 9.11(a)), (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which in the aggregate results in the realization or receipt by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds in an
amount in excess of $10,000,000, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds realized or received shall be applied as a mandatory repayment of the Loans in accordance with the requirements of Sections 3.04(c)(v) and (vi) or
the First Lien Loans (as elected by the Borrower in its sole discretion); 
 (iii) If the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary issues or
incurs any Debt (other than Debt permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 9.02 as in effect on the Effective Date), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence or issuance of Debt shall be applied on
such date as a mandatory repayment of the Loans in accordance with the requirements of Sections 3.04(c)(v) and (vi) or the First Lien Loans (as elected by the Borrower in its sole discretion). 

  
 -34- 








 (iv) If any Restricted Subsidiary of Parent receives Net Cash Proceeds from any capital
contributions or any Net Cash Proceeds from any sale or issuance of its Equity Interests (other than Net Cash Proceeds of any Excluded Issuance), then, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of any such issuance, sale or advancement will
be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.04(c)(v) and 3.04(c)(vi) or the First Lien Loans (as elected by the Borrower in its sole discretion). 

(v) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to Sections 3.04(c)(i),
3.04(c)(ii), 3.04(c)(iii) and 3.04(c)(iv) shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of principal of Loans.
 (vi) The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 3.04(c) at least
five (5) Business Days prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment.

(d) On the Effective Date (immediately after the incurrence of Loans), the Commitments of each Lender in effect at such time shall terminate
in its entirety. 
 (e) Prepayment Premiums. Each payment made under this Section 3.04 will not require the payment
of any premium or penalty. 
 Section 3.05 Fees. 

(a) Administrative Agent Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an annual nonrefundable
administration fee equal to $15,000 (the “Administrative Agent Fee”), such fee to be paid quarterly in advance beginning on the Effective Date and thereafter in advance prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date on which the
Loans are repaid in full or, if any such date is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter. Any amounts paid in advance with respect to the Administrative Agent Fee shall not be reimbursed, irrespective of whether the Loans and all
other obligations outstanding hereunder are repaid in full during such applicable fiscal quarter. 
 (b) Extension Fee. In the event
that the Maturity Date is extended in accordance with the terms of Section 2.06, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an extension fee equal to 5% of the aggregate Loans of the Lenders on
the first effective day of the extension. 
 ARTICLE IV 

PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS. 

Section 4.01 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal,
interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in
Section 12.01, except that payments pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 shall be
made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient 

  
 -35- 








 
promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day,
and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time prior the Termination Date, insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in the order set forth in clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, of
Section 10.02(c). 
 (c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder), then such Lender shall
purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Loans (or in other proportion as required hereunder); provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to a Loan Party or an Affiliate
thereof not constituting an Affiliate Lender (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law and under this
Agreement, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of
the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower
has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

Section 4.03 Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant
hereto then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. After acceleration or maturity of the Loans, all principal will be paid as provided in Section 10.02(c). 

Section 4.04 Disposition of Proceeds. The Security Instruments contain an assignment by the Borrower and/or the other Loan Parties unto
and in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of all of the Borrower’s or each other Loan Party’s interest in and to 

  
 -36- 








 
production and all proceeds attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the Collateral. The Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such
proceeds to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and other obligations described therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Instruments, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders agree that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead permit
such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower or any other applicable Loan Party and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and/or such Loan
Parties. 
 ARTICLE V 

INCREASED COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES 

Section 5.01 Increased Costs. 

(a) [Reserved].
 (b)
Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s holding company, if any, in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will
pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(b) and reasonably detailed calculations therefor shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting
Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 5.02 [Reserved].

Section 5.03 Taxes. 
 (a)
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes unless required by applicable
law; provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (a) the sum payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that
after all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03) have been made, the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case 

  
 -37- 








 
may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and (c) the applicable
Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b)
Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent or each Lender, within 10 days after
written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder
or with respect to any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender as to the amount of such payment or liability under this
Section 5.03) shall be delivered to the Borrower and 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 Borrower or a Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Status of Lenders. (a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments
made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements.
 (i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date
on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from
U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS
Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect
to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as 

  
 -38- 








 
applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender
has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

  
 -39- 








 (f) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register
and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.03(f). 
 (g) Tax Refunds. If the Administrative
Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or any Guarantor or with respect to which the Borrower or any Guarantor
has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 5.03
with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.03 shall not
be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(h) Survival. The agreements in this Section 5.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 5.04 Designation of Different Lending Office. If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 5.03, 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 (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case
may be, in the future and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 Section 5.05 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests
compensation under Section 5.01, (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, or (c) any Lender has not approved
a proposed waiver or amendment requiring 100% approval or consent from the affected Lenders but which has been approved by the Majority Lenders (or, in the case 

  
 -40- 








 
of a consent, waiver or amendment involving all Lenders with respect to a certain Class, the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to such Class), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04(b)), all its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans subject to the assignment, as if the payment of the Loans on
such date were an optional or mandatory prepayment, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with respect to the Loans being assigned, from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and accrued fees) or the Borrower, (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 5.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a non-consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have agreed
to, and shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of, the applicable waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents.

Section 7.05 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority
pending against or affecting the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary (a) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to

duly obtained or filed, and the Parent and each Restricted Subsidiary are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such notices, permits, licenses and similar authorizations.

transported, treated and disposed of in accordance with Environmental Laws and so as not to pose an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health or welfare or the environment, and, to the best knowledge of the Parent and the Restricted
Subsidiaries, all transport carriers and treatment and disposal facilities used for such transportation, treatment or disposal have been and are operating in compliance with Environmental Laws and so as not to pose an imminent and substantial
endangerment to public health or welfare or the environment, and are not the subject of any Environmental Claims. 
 (e) The Borrower has
taken all steps reasonably necessary to determine and has determined that no Hazardous Materials have been Released, and there has been no threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials, on, from or to any Property of the Parent or any Restricted

(f) All Property of the Parent and each Restricted Subsidiary currently satisfies all design, operation, and equipment requirements imposed
by the OPA or scheduled as of the Effective Date to be imposed by OPA during the term of this Agreement, and neither the Parent nor the Borrower has any reason to believe that such Property, to the extent subject to OPA, will not be able to maintain
compliance with the OPA requirements during the term of this Agreement. Neither the Parent nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any known contingent liability in connection with any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material into the
environment.

important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board). No part of the proceeds of any Loan
will be used (x) for any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board or (y) to finance the purchase or carry of margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board). None of the Borrower, the Parent
or any Person acting on behalf of the Borrower or the Parent has taken or will take any action which might cause any of

in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereinafter be in effect. 
 Section 7.10 Taxes. Each of the Parent and the Restricted
Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) taxes that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to

fiduciary duty liability damages under section 409 of ERISA.

and the Borrower represent only that such Information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Parent and the Borrower to be reasonable at the time of preparation.

 -48- 








 
leasehold) of such Properties shall not in any material respect obligate the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and
operations of each such Property in an amount in excess of the working interest of each Property set forth in such Reserve Report that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in such Loan Party’s net revenue interest in such
Property other than as reflected in such Reserve Report. All information contained in the most recently delivered Reserve Report (if any) is true and correct in all material respects as of the date to which such Reserve Report relates.

subsisting, in full force and effect, and there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a default under any such lease or leases, except as in each case could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) The rights and Properties presently
owned, leased or licensed by the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries to conduct their
business in all material respects in the same manner as their business has been conducted prior to the date hereof.

intellectual Property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Parent and each such Restricted Subsidiary does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries either own or have valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, geological data, geophysical data, engineering data,
seismic data, maps, interpretations and other technical information used in their businesses as presently conducted, subject to the limitations contained in the agreements governing the use of the same, which limitations are customary for companies

and in conformity with all Laws and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Hydrocarbon Interests and other contracts and agreements forming a part of such Oil and Gas
Properties. Specifically in connection with the foregoing, except for those as could not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (a) no Oil and Gas Property owned (whether in fee or by
leasehold) by any Loan Party is subject to having allowable production reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) and
(b) none of the wells comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Properties owned (whether in fee or by leasehold) by any Loan Party (or Properties unitized therewith) is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by Law, and such

maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal operations, and with respect to such of the foregoing which are operated by any Loan Party, in a manner consistent with such Loan Party’s
past practices (other than those the failure of which to maintain in accordance with this Section 7.18 could not reasonably be expect to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect). 

Section 7.19 Gas Imbalances. With respect to the Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recently delivered Reserve Report after the
date hereof (if any), except as thereafter disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, on a net basis there are no gas imbalances or other prepayments made to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such
Oil and Gas Properties that would require the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary to deliver and transfer at some time in the future ownership of volumes of Hydrocarbons produced from such Oil and Gas Properties having a value (based on current
prices) of more than $5,000,000 without receiving full payment therefor at the time of delivery of those Hydrocarbons.

on 60 days’ notice or less without penalty to the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary or detriment for the sale of production from the Parent’s or the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Hydrocarbons (including, without limitation, calls
on or other rights to purchase production, whether or not the same are currently being exercised) that (a) pertain to the sale of production at a fixed price and (b) have a maturity or expiry date of longer than six months from the
Effective Date (in the case of Schedule 7.20) or the most recently delivered Reserve Report (in the case of each other such agreement).

“foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA. To the knowledge of the Parent and the Borrower,
the Parent, the Restricted Subsidiaries, the SPV Subsidiaries and the Unrestricted Subsidiaries and its and their Affiliates have conducted their business in material compliance with the FCPA.

officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of any of the foregoing is currently subject to any material United States sanctions administered by OFAC, and the Borrower will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds from the Loans or lend, contribute or
otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person known to the Parent or the Borrower to be currently subject to any United States sanctions
administered by OFAC.

as security for the Indebtedness a valid, perfected and second-priority Lien (subject only in priority to the Liens pursuant to the First Lien Credit Documents) on additional Oil and Gas
Properties constituting Proved Reserves to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate Present Value of the Oil and Gas Properties subject to a valid, perfected and Mortgage (subject in priority only to certain customary exceptions) to equal or
exceed the Required Mortgage Value (provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) to (d), (f) and (l) of the definition thereof may exist on such Mortgage Properties, but subject to the provisos at the end of such
definition). All such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of Mortgages or other Security Instruments, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Restricted
Subsidiary that creates a Lien on its Oil and Gas Properties shall become a Guarantor in accordance with Section 8.14(b).

Restricted Subsidiary that subjects an Oil and Gas Property to a Mortgage pursuant to Section 8.14(a)) to guarantee the Indebtedness pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement. In connection with any such guaranty, the Parent and the Borrower
shall (i) cause such Subsidiary to (A) execute and deliver a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which such Subsidiary becomes a party to the Guaranty Agreement and becomes a Guarantor, and (B) execute and deliver a Joinder Agreement

filing of financing statements), and (ii) execute and deliver (or, if the direct parent of such Subsidiary is not the Parent or the Borrower, cause such Subsidiary’s direct parent to execute and deliver) a Security Agreement Supplement
pursuant to which the applicable Loan Party will grant a valid, perfected and second-priority security interest (subject only in priority to the Liens pursuant to the First Lien Credit Documents and provided that Excepted Liens of the type
described in clause (l) of the definition thereof may exist) in all of the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary (and will, without limitation, deliver original certificates (if any) evidencing the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary, together with
undated stock powers (or the equivalent for any such Subsidiary that is not a corporation) for each certificate duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof) to the Administrative Agent (provided that, in the event that the direct
parent of such Subsidiary is not a Guarantor, the requirements in this Section 8.14(b) shall also apply to (and with respect to the Equity Interests in) such Subsidiary’s parent). 

(c) In the event that any Loan Party acquires any material Property (other than any Oil and Gas Property and any Property in which a security
interest is automatically created under the Security Agreement or other pre-existing Security Instrument) after the Effective Date, the Parent and the Borrower shall, or shall cause such other Loan Party to, give the Administrative Agent prompt
written notice thereof and execute and deliver any Security Instruments reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in order to create a valid, perfected and second-priority security interest and Lien (subject only in priority to the Liens
pursuant to the First Lien Credit Documents) therein to the extent required by the applicable Security Instruments (provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clause (l) of the definition thereof may exist). 

(d) In furtherance of the foregoing in this Section 8.14, each Loan Party (including any newly created or acquired
Material Subsidiary and any other Restricted Subsidiary referred to in Section 8.14(a)) shall execute and deliver (or otherwise provide, as applicable) to the Administrative Agent such other additional Security Instruments, documents,
certificates, legal opinions, title insurance policies, surveys, abstracts, appraisals, environmental assessments, flood information and/or flood insurance policies, in each case as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and as

 ARTICLE XI 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

Section 11.01 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. 

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 11.10) appoints, designates and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein
and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent, any syndication agent or documentation agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

Section 11.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the
Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney in fact. 
 Section 11.03
Default; Collateral. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, the Lenders agree to promptly confer in
order that the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as the case may be, may agree upon a course of action for the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (without
incurring any liability to any Person for so refraining) unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as the case may be. All rights of action under the Loan Documents and
all right to the Collateral, if any, hereunder may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and any suit or proceeding instituted by the Administrative Agent in furtherance of such enforcement shall be brought in its name as the Administrative Agent
without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any other Lender, and the recovery of any judgment shall be for the benefit of the Lenders (and, with respect to the Secured Swap Agreements, the Administrative Agent and Affiliates of the
Lender or of the Administrative Agent, if applicable) subject to the expenses of the Administrative Agent. In actions with respect to any Property of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is acting for the ratable
benefit of each Lender. Any and all agreements to subordinate (whether made heretofore or hereafter) other indebtedness or obligations of the Loan Parties to the Indebtedness shall be construed as being for the ratable benefit of each Lender
(and, with respect to the Secured Swap Agreements, the Administrative Agent and Affiliates of the Lender or of the Administrative Agent, if applicable). 

  
 -75- 








 (b) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Security
Instruments on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders (or if previously entered into, hereby ratifies the Administrative Agent’s (or any predecessor administrative agent’s) previously entering into such agreements and Security
Instruments). 
 (c) Except to the extent unanimity (or other percentage set forth in Section 12.02) is required
hereunder, each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Majority Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Majority Lenders of the power set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all of the Lenders. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent is hereby
authorized on behalf of the Lenders (and, with respect to the Secured Swap Agreements, the Administrative Agent and Affiliates of the Lender or of the Administrative Agent, if applicable), without the necessity of any notice to or further consent
from any Lender, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Instruments which may be necessary to create, perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Instruments.

 (e) The Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral
exists or is owned (whether in fee or by leasehold) by the Person purporting to own it or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent (or any predecessor administrative agent)
herein or pursuant to the Security Instruments have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty
of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section 11.03 or in any of the Security Instruments; IT BEING UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED
THAT IN RESPECT OF THE COLLATERAL, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION, OR EVENT RELATED THERETO, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY ACT IN ANY MANNER IT MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, AND THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE NO DUTY OR LIABILITY
WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO ANY COLLATERAL OR THE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS TO ANY LENDER (AND, WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURED SWAP AGREEMENTS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND AFFILIATES OF THE LENDER OR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF APPLICABLE), IN THE
ABSENCE OF ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT. 

(f) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or
held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral: (i) upon the payment in full of the Indebtedness (other than inchoate or contingent or reimbursable obligations for which no claim has been asserted); (ii) constituting property
being sold or disposed of to a Person that is not a Loan Party if any Loan Party certifies in a certificate of a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under this Agreement (and
the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting “Excluded Property” as defined in the Security Agreement; (iv) constituting property in which neither the Parent
nor any Restricted Subsidiary owned an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (v) constituting property leased to the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a
transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary to be, renewed; or (vi) consisting of an instrument or other possessory collateral
evidencing Debt or other obligations pledged to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Creditors), if the Debt or obligations evidenced thereby has been paid in full or otherwise superseded. In addition, the Lenders
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release Liens upon Collateral as contemplated herein and in the other Loan Documents, or if approved, authorized, or ratified in writing by the requisite Lenders. Upon request by the
Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.03. 

(g) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option, and in its sole discretion, to release any Guarantor
(other than the Parent) from its obligations under this Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Material Subsidiary or becomes an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a result of a designation permitted pursuant to Section 9.19. 

(h) In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this Section 11.03, each Lender (and, with respect to the Secured Swap
Agreements, the Administrative Agent and Affiliates of the Lender or of the Administrative Agent, if applicable) hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and
in the name of each such Lender (i) to enter into Security Instruments (including, without limitation, any appointments of substitute trustees under any Security Instruments), (ii) to take action with respect to the Collateral and Security
Instruments to create, perfect, maintain, and preserve the Lenders’ Liens therein, and (iii) to execute instruments of release or to take other action necessary to release Liens upon any Collateral or to release Guarantors to the extent
authorized herein or in the other Loan Documents. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to the Administrative Agent’s power, as attorney, relative to the guarantee and
Collateral matters described in this Section 11.03. The powers and authorities herein conferred on the Administrative Agent may be exercised by the Administrative Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular
instrument, is an officer of the Administrative Agent (or any Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent pursuant to a valid power of attorney). The power of attorney conferred by this Section 11.03(h) to the Administrative
Agent is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable (subject to Section 11.01) so long as the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, shall remain unpaid or the Lenders are obligated to make any Loan
under the Loan Documents.

 Section 11.04 Liability of Administrative Agent. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY
RELATED PARTY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL (A) BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY ANY OF THEM UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (EXCEPT FOR ITS
OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN CONNECTION WITH ITS DUTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or
participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent or such Related Party under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any collateral
security, or to make any inquiry respecting the performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or any other party to any Loan Document to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Related Party thereof shall be under any obligation to any Lender or Participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of
the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof. 

Section 11.05 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature,
resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, electronic mail, or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to consult and seek advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative 

  
 -77- 








 
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders, the Super
Majority Lenders or all the Lenders, as applicable, and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Lenders or all
the Lenders, if required hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and Participants. Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless all the
Lenders, the Majority Lenders or Super Majority Lenders, as applicable, otherwise determine, the Administrative Agent shall, and in all other instances, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the
consent or a vote of the requisite Lenders. 
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in
Section 6.01, each Lender that has funded its Applicable Percentage of the Loans on the Effective Date shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter
either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender (or otherwise made available for such Lender on SyndTrak Online, DXSyndicateTM or any similar website) for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required hereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender. 
 Section 11.06 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender, the Parent or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Majority Lenders in
accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such
action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 
 Section 11.07
Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Related Party of the Administrative Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act
by the Administrative Agent or any Related Party thereof hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Related Party thereof to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or the Related Parties thereof have disclosed material information in their
possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Related Party thereof and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own appraisal of, and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other
regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Related Party thereof and based on such documents and 

  
 -78- 








 
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. In this
regard, each Lender acknowledges that Latham & Watkins LLP is acting in this transaction as counsel to the Administrative Agent. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in
connection with the Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their
respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any Related Party of the Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.08 Indemnification of Agents. WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED, THE LENDERS SHALL INDEMNIFY
UPON DEMAND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWER AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATION OF THE BORROWER TO DO SO), IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE
APPLICABLE TOTAL PERCENTAGES, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES INCURRED BY IT (INCLUDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OR SUCH
RELATED PARTY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OWN NEGLIGENCE); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY RELATED PARTY THEREOF OF ANY PORTION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES
RESULTING FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of
the Majority Lenders, the Super Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders under this Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this
Section 11.08. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The
undertaking in this Section 11.08 shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Indebtedness hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.09 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Riverstone and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from,
acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind 

  
 -79- 








 
of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Parent and its Affiliates as though Riverstone were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or
consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Riverstone or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Parent or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of the Parent or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Riverstone shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Riverstone in its individual capacity. 

Section 11.10 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders
with a copy of such notice to the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders which successor administrative
agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If no successor administrative agent is
appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred which is continuing, upon written approval
of the Borrower (which approval of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent
hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under
the Loan Documents and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI and Sections 12.03 and 12.05 shall inure to the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents or attorneys in fact and the Administrative Agent’s Related Parties as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no
successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above; provided that in
the case of any security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such security until such time as a successor administrative agent is appointed.

 Section 11.11 Administrative Agent May File Proof of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and
payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise. 

  
 -80- 








 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Indebtedness 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 12.03)
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 to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, 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
Section 12.03. 
 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 any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim
of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
 Section 11.12 Secured Swap Agreements. To the extent any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent
or of a Lender is a party to a Secured Swap Agreement with a Loan Party and thereby becomes a beneficiary of the Liens pursuant to any Security Instrument, such Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender shall be deemed to appoint the
Administrative Agent its nominee and agent to act for and on behalf of such Affiliate in connection with such Security Instruments and the Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and to be bound by the terms of this Article XI and the other
provisions of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any. 
 Section 11.13 Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender (and each Person
that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 12.04) hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into, join or otherwise become party to the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender as needed to
effectuate the transactions permitted by this Agreement and agrees that the Administrative Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Without limiting the provisions of Sections
11.01 and 12.03, each Lender hereby consents to the Administrative Agent and any successor serving in such capacity and agrees not to assert any claim (including as a result of any conflict of interest) against the Administrative Agent,
or any such successor, arising from the role of the Administrative Agent or such successor under the Loan Documents or any such Intercreditor Agreement so long as it is either acting in accordance with the terms of such documents and otherwise has
not engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). In addition, the Administrative Agent, or any such successor, shall be authorized, without the
consent of any Lender, to execute or to enter into amendments of, and amendments and restatements of, the Security Instruments, any such Intercreditor Agreement and any additional and replacement Intercreditor Agreements, in each case, in order to
provide for Liens permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be pari passu with the Loans.

 Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with
respect to, any right, remedy, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, remedy, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers or privileges that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender
may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Subject to Section 12.04(b)(ii)(E)(5), neither this Agreement
nor any provision hereof nor any Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties party thereto and the Majority Lenders or by
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall 
 (i)
extend the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, 
 (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan
or reduce or forgive the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that the consent of an Affiliate Lender for any
such reduction shall not be required if such reduction is proportionately applicable to each Lender (including such Affiliate Lender), 

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or
postpone or extend the applicable Termination Date without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that the consent of an Affiliate Lender for any such postponement, reduction, extension or waiver
shall not be required if such postponement, reduction, extension or waiver is proportionately applicable to each Lender (including such Affiliate Lender), 

(iv) change Section 4.01 (b) or Section 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the pro
rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; provided that the consent of an Affiliate Lender for any such change shall not be required if such change is proportionately
applicable to each Lender (including such Affiliate Lender), 
 (v) release all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the
guarantees of the Guarantors under the Guaranty Agreement or release all or substantially all of the Collateral or reduce the percentage set forth in the definition of Required Mortgage Value to less than 80%, without the written consent of
each Lender (other than any Affiliate Lender), or 
 (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 12.02(b)
or the definitions of “Super Majority Lenders” or “Majority Lenders”, or Section 9.11(g) or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive,
amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; 

  
 -83- 








 provided further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of
the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any supplement to Schedule 7.15 (Subsidiaries) shall be
effective simply by delivering to the Administrative Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Lenders. 

(c) Without the consent of any other Person, the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in its or their
respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document (including the Guaranty Agreement), or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting,
perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Creditors or additional Subsidiaries to become Guarantors, or as required by local
law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in any property or so (i) that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or (ii) the guarantees provided under the Guaranty Agreement
comply with applicable law or (iii) such guarantees or security interests or other Loan Documents are consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.02(a), if at any time after the Effective Date, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be
permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Majority Lenders within five (5) Business Days
following receipt of notice thereof. 
 Section 12.03 Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) The Borrower shall pay or reimburse (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent
and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel and other outside consultants for the Administrative Agent, the reasonable travel, photocopy, mailing, courier, telephone and other
similar expenses, and the cost of environmental audits and surveys and appraisals, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and
after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent as to the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments,
modifications or waivers of or consents related to the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), provided, however, that in the case of legal fees and expenses,
such payment or reimbursement shall be limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the Administrative Agent (and, if reasonably necessary, to one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent),
(ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security
interest contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Instrument or any other document referred to therein, and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements
of one counsel to the Administrative Agent (and, if reasonably necessary, to one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights or remedies in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section 12.03, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including, without limitation, all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or similar negotiations in respect of such Loans. 

  
 -84- 








 (b) THE BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER, AND EACH RELATED
PARTY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, DEFEND AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE
REASONABLE FEES, DISBURSEMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL FOR ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT
OF (1) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE, ENFORCEMENT OR ADMINISTRATION BY THE PARTIES HERETO OR THE PARTIES TO
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR BY ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, (2) THE FAILURE OF THE PARENT OR ANY RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY
TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, OR WITH ANY LAW, (3) ANY INACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR ANY BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR SET FORTH IN ANY OF THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY INSTRUMENTS, DOCUMENTS OR CERTIFICATIONS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, (4) ANY LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM, (5) ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS,
(6) THE OPERATIONS OF THE BUSINESS OF THE PARENT AND THE RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES, (7) ANY ASSERTION THAT THE LENDERS WERE NOT ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE PROCEEDS RECEIVED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS,
(8) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW APPLICABLE TO THE PARENT OR ANY RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY OR ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PRESENCE, GENERATION, STORAGE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, USE, TRANSPORT, DISPOSAL,
ARRANGEMENT OF DISPOSAL OR TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES, (9) THE BREACH OR NON-COMPLIANCE BY THE PARENT OR ANY RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY WITH ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, (10) THE PAST
OWNERSHIP BY THE PARENT OR ANY RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY OF ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES OR PAST ACTIVITY ON ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES WHICH, THOUGH LAWFUL AND FULLY PERMISSIBLE AT THE TIME, COULD RESULT IN PRESENT LIABILITY, (11) THE
PRESENCE, USE, RELEASE, STORAGE, TREATMENT, DISPOSAL, GENERATION, THREATENED RELEASE, TRANSPORT, ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSPORT OR ARRANGEMENT FOR DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR AT ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE PARENT OR ANY
RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY OR ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE PARENT OR ANY OF THE RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES, (12) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIM RELATED IN ANY
WAY TO THE PARENT OR ANY OF THE RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES, (13) ANY OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY CONDITION IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR (14) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION,
INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO, AND SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL EXTEND TO EACH INDEMNITEE NOTWITHSTANDING THE
SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, WHETHER AN AFFIRMATIVE ACT OR AN OMISSION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL TYPES OF NEGLIGENT CONDUCT IDENTIFIED IN THE
RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF TORTS OF ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES OR BY REASON OF STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED WITHOUT FAULT ON ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY
INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES HAVE RESULTED FROM (X) THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE (AS DETERMINED BY A FINAL,
NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION), OR (Y) ANY PROCEEDING NOT INVOLVING ANY ACT OR OMISSION BY THE PARENT OR ITS AFFILIATES THAT IS SOLELY AMONG INDEMNITEES (OTHER THAN ANY PROCEEDING AGAINST THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH). 

  
 -85- 








 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to
the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent or attorney in fact thereof) or any Related Party of the Administrative Agent under Section 12.03(a) or Section 12.03(b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or
such sub-agent or attorney in fact) or such Related Party, as applicable, 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 Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent or attorney in fact thereof) in its
capacity as such or against any Related Party of the Administrative Agent acting for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity. 

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this
Section 12.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 
 Section 12.04 Successors and Assigns.

 (a) 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 (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by
the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.04. 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 12.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

 (A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that no consent
of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further, that the
Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that no
consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund. 

  
 -86- 








 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender of the same Class, an Affiliate of a Lender of the same Class or an
Approved Fund of the assigning Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of such Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of any Class 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) shall not be less than $1,000,000 or, if smaller, the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s applicable outstanding Loans of such Class unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 

(B) the parties to each assignment (other than assignments to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent; 

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; 

(D) the Assignor shall furnish to the Assignee a copy of the Form FR U-1 or Form FR G-3, as the case may be, originally
obtained with respect to the Commitment or Loans being assigned; and 
 (E) the assignment by any Lender of all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Borrower that is an Eligible Assignee (each, an “Affiliate Lender”), shall be subject to the following limitations: 

(1) each Affiliate Lender shall represent and warrant as of the date of any such purchase and assignment, that neither such
Affiliate Lender or any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors or officers has any material non-public information with respect to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or securities that has not been disclosed to the assigning
Lender (other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Parent and its Subsidiaries or securities) prior to such date to the extent such information could reasonably be expected
to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to a Lender’s decision to assign rights and obligations hereunder to such Affiliate Lender; 

(2) each Affiliate Lender will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to the Lenders
that are not Affiliate Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that is not an Affiliate Lender (other than the right to receive notices of prepayments in respect of its Loans or Commitment required to be delivered to the Lenders
hereunder), will not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in, meetings or conference calls solely among the Lenders that are not Affiliate Lenders and the Administrative Agent and will not receive advice of
counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; 
 (3) the aggregate percentage of the outstanding aggregate principal
amount of the Loans held at any one time by all Affiliate Lenders may not exceed 25% of the applicable aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time under this Agreement; 

  
 -87- 








 (4) there will not be more than two (2) Affiliate Lenders at any time; 

(5) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Majority Lenders, the
applicable Majority Facility Lenders, the Super Majority Lenders or all Lenders under this Agreement or under a Facility have (x) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the
terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or, subject to Section 12.04(b)(vi), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (y) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or
(z) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Loans held by any Affiliate Lender shall be deemed to be not outstanding for
all purposes of calculating whether the Majority Lenders, the applicable Majority Facility Lenders, the Super Majority Lenders or all Lenders under this Agreement or under a Facility have taken any actions (unless the relevant consent or action
affects such Affiliate Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on other Lenders under the same Facility or the Facilities, as applicable); and 

(6) borrowings of Loans shall not be made to directly or indirectly fund the purchase or assignment. 

For the purposes of this Section 12.04, “Approved Fund” means an Eligible Assignee that is administered or managed
by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) a Person or an Affiliate of a Person that administers or manages a Lender, and “Eligible Assignee” means a Person (other than a natural person, the Parent or its Subsidiaries)
being a commercial bank, an insurance company, a finance company, a financial institution, or any fund or “accredited investor”(as defined in Regulations D of the Securities Act) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing
in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of business; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, an Affiliate of the Borrower shall only be an Eligible Assignee if Section 12.04(b)(ii)(E) is
complied with. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below and the receipt by the
Assignee of the copy of the applicable form pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii)(D) above, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.04(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 12.04(c). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. 

  
 -88- 








 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 12.04(b), and any
written consent to such assignment required by Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 12.04(b) and the Assignee receives a copy of the applicable form pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(ii)(D)
above. 
 (vi) Additionally, the Loan Parties and Affiliate Lenders hereby agree that if a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is commenced
against any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall seek (and the Affiliate Lenders shall consent) to provide that the vote of the Affiliate Lenders with respect to any plan of reorganization of such Loan Party shall be counted in the same proportion as
all other Lenders except that the Affiliate Lenders’ vote may be counted in the manner designated by such Affiliate Lender to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Indebtedness owed to the Affiliate Lenders in a
manner that is less favorable in any material respect to the Affiliate Lenders than the proposed treatment of similar Indebtedness owed to Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower or would deprive the Affiliate Lenders of their pro rata share
of any payments to which all Lenders are entitled. The Affiliate Lenders hereby irrevocably appoint the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as the Affiliate Lenders’ attorney in fact, with full authority
in the place and stead of the Affiliate Lenders and in the name of the Affiliate Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem
reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 12.04(b)(vi) and the Term Loans held by the Affiliate Lenders (and any claim with respect thereto) shall be deemed assigned for all purposes to the Administrative Agent to vote
in accordance with this Section. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall furnish to the Participant a copy of the Form FR U-1 or Form FR G-3, as the case may be, originally obtained with respect to the rights and obligations hereunder subject to the
relevant participation and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to
Section 12.02(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 5.01, Section 5.02, and Section 5.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Section 12.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be
subject to Section 4.01 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name
and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no
Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations
under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury
Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of
this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or
Section 5.03 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
Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any Participant that is a Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 unless the Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.03(e). 

  
 -89- 








 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may grant to a Conduit Lender the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan
that a Lender would be required to make, and any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender, in each case, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without
regard to the limitations set forth in Section 12.04(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in
instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial
paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its
inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 
 Section 12.05 Survival; Revival;
Reinstatement. 
 (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Parent herein and by the Restricted
Subsidiaries in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 5.01, Section 5.02,
Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 

(b) To the extent any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and such payment or any part
thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver
or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy or other laws for the relief of debtors or otherwise, then 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. 
 Section 12.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by email (in.pdf or similar format) or telecopy shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

  
 -90- 








 (b) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to
fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject
matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the
parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. 
 (c) This Agreement shall become effective when (i) it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto and (ii) the conditions precedent in
Section 6.01 have been satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 12.02, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section
12.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or Section 10.01(b) shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates (and the Administrative Agent, in respect of any unpaid fees,
costs and expenses payable to it or its Related Parties hereunder) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations (of whatsoever kind, including, without limitations, obligations under the Secured Swap Agreements) at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate or
the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s Related Party to or for the credit or the account of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary owed to such
Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s Related Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, its Related
Party, such Lender or its Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Administrative Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower after any
such set off and application made by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, but the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this
Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have. 

Section 12.09 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby unconditionally waives any claim to assert that the law of any other jurisdiction governs this Agreement and the Notes, and this Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York pursuant to Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, which the Borrower and the Lenders expressly intend to apply. 

  
 -91- 








 (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY (BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN) OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND
(TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO
THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS. THIS SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS FROM OBTAINING JURISDICTION OVER THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER IN ANY COURT OTHERWISE HAVING JURISDICTION. 

(c) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE
MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO IT AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 12.01 OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS IS SPECIFIED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.01 (OR ITS
ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION), SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF A PARTY OR ANY HOLDER OF A NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANOTHER PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 (d) EACH PARTY HEREBY (i) IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN; (ii) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES WITHOUT LIMITING OR
OTHERWISE IMPAIRING THE BORROWER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 12.03(B); (iii) CERTIFIES THAT NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR COUNSEL OF ANY PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, OR IMPLIED THAT SUCH
PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, AND (iv) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS Section 12.09. 
 Section 12.10
Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement, and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement. 
 Section 12.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all
non-public information provided to it by the Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that is designated by the provider thereof as confidential;
provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any Affiliate thereof (subject, in the case of such disclosure to
any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, to the 

  
 -92- 








 
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, being responsible for compliance by such Affiliate with the provisions of this Section 12.11), (b) subject to an
agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors,
agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates (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), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory bodies that claim oversight over the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or businesses, (e) in response to any order of
any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed, (h) to
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect
to such Lender, (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcements of its rights hereunder or
thereunder, or (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any non-public information). 

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information
concerning the Parent and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material
non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. 
 All information, including
requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material
non-public information about the Parent and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative
Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. 

Section 12.12 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws
applicable to it. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law
(collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate
of interest payable in respect of such Loan, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were
not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor (after giving effect to
such increase)) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received, to the maximum extent possible by operation of this Section 12.12, by such
Lender. 

  
 -93- 








 Section 12.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and
the agreement of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Restricted Subsidiary, any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialman) shall
have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries (other than the successors and assigns
of the parties hereto permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 12.04(c) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees). 

Section 12.14 Collateral Matters; Swap Agreements. The benefit of the Security Instruments and of the provisions of this Agreement
relating to any Collateral securing the Indebtedness shall also extend to and be available to the Administrative Agent and those Lenders or their respective Affiliates which are counterparties to any Secured Swap Agreement with the Borrower on a pro
rata basis in respect of any obligations of the Borrower which arise under any such Secured Swap Agreement, while such Person or its Affiliate is a Lender or the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations under any such
Secured Swap Agreement will continue to be secured if the Person that is a counterparty to such Secured Swap Agreement ceases to be the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, subject to the
limitations set forth in the definition of “Secured Swap Agreement”. None of the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result
of the existence of obligations owed to it under any Swap Agreements. 
 Section 12.15 Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby
acknowledges that: 
 (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents; 
 (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out
of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of
debtor and creditor; and 
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the
transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders. 
 Section 12.16 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each
Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies the Borrower and each Guarantor, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender and the
Administrative Agent to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Act. 
 Section 12.17 Intercreditor
Agreement. EACH HOLDER OF ANY SECOND LIEN OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN THE
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT), BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH SECOND LIEN OBLIGATIONS (I)
CONSENTS TO THE 

  
 -94- 








 
SUBORDINATION OF LIENS PROVIDED FOR IN THE INTERCREDITOR
AGREEMENT, (II) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY, AND WILL TAKE
NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND
(III) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE SECOND LIEN AGENT (AS DEFINED IN
THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT) ON BEHALF OF EACH SECOND LIEN SECURED PARTY
(AS DEFINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT) TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR
AGREEMENT AS SECOND LIEN AGENT ON BEHALF OF SUCH SECOND LIEN SECURED
PARTIES. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE
LENDERS UNDER THE PRIORITY CREDIT AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR
AGREEMENT) TO EXTEND CREDIT TO THE BORROWER AND SUCH LENDERS ARE
INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS AND THE PROVISIONS OF
THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

 Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows:

Guarantor is not relying upon any Secured Creditor to provide (and no Secured Creditor will have a duty to provide) any such information to any Guarantor either now or in the future; and 

(b) the representations and warranties set forth in Article VII of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference,
the same as if stated verbatim herein as representations and warranties made by the New Guarantor (to the extent applicable), and the New Guarantor, jointly and severally represents and warrants that each of such representations and warranties are
true and correct (after giving effect to supplements to the schedules to the Credit Agreement attached hereto); provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of
this Section 4(b), be deemed to be a reference to such New Guarantor’s knowledge.

6. Except as expressly supplemented by this Agreement, the Guaranty and the Security Agreement remain in full force and effect.

Section 2.05 No Duties of Priority Lien Agent. The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party,
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Priority Lien Agent nor any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall have any duties or other obligations to any such Second Lien Secured Party with respect to any Collateral, other than to transfer to the
Second Lien Agent any remaining Collateral and any proceeds of the sale or other Disposition of any such Collateral remaining in its possession following the associated Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, in each case without representation or
warranty on the part of the Priority Lien Agent or any Priority Lien Secured Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Second Lien Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations (subject to the
terms of Section 3.02, including the rights of the Second Lien Secured Parties following the expiration of any applicable Standstill Period), the Priority Lien Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Priority Lien
Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise Dispose of or deal with such Collateral, as provided herein and in the Priority Lien Documents, without regard to any Second Lien or any rights to which the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Secured
Party would otherwise be entitled as a result of such Second Lien. Without limiting the foregoing, the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that

neither the Priority Lien Agent nor any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Collateral, or to sell, Dispose of or
otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Collateral, in any manner that would maximize the return to the Second Lien Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, Disposition or liquidation may
affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Second Lien Secured Parties from such realization, sale, Disposition or liquidation. The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party, hereby waives any
claim any Second Lien Secured Party may now or hereafter have against the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party arising out of any actions which the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Parties take or omit
to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral, and
actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Priority Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority Lien Documents or the valuation, use,
protection or release of any security for the Priority Lien Obligations. 
 Section 2.06 No Duties of Second Lien Agent. The
Priority Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Priority Lien Secured Party, acknowledges and agrees that neither the Second Lien Agent nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall have any duties or other obligations to such Priority Lien
Secured Party with respect to any Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE III 

ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS; PURCHASE OPTION 

Section 3.01 Limitation on Enforcement Action. Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Agent, for
itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party, hereby agrees that, subject to Section 3.05(b) and Section 4.07, neither the Second Lien Agent nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall
commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with
respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Collateral under any Second Lien Security Document, applicable law or otherwise (including but not
limited to any right of setoff), it being agreed that only the Priority Lien Agent, acting in accordance with the applicable Priority Lien Documents, shall have the exclusive right (and whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has
been commenced), to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies, in each case, without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party. In exercising rights and remedies with respect
to the Collateral, the Priority Lien Agent and the other Priority Lien Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Priority Lien Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in their
sole discretion and regardless of whether such exercise and enforcement is adverse to the interest of any Second Lien Secured Party. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to Dispose of Collateral
upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with any such Disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Priority Lien Agent will have the exclusive right to deal with that portion of the Collateral consisting of deposit accounts and securities accounts (collectively “Accounts”), including
exercising rights under control agreements with respect to such Accounts. The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction
contained in any Second Lien Security Document or any other Second Lien Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Priority Lien Agent 

  
 [AEG
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT] 


  
 14 








 
or the other Priority Lien Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3.05,
the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, may, but will have no obligation to, take all such actions (not adverse to the Priority Liens or the rights of the Priority Lien Agent and the Priority Lien Secured Parties) it
deems necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of the Second Liens in the Collateral or to create, preserve or protect (but not enforce) the Second Liens in the Collateral. Nothing herein shall limit the right or ability of the Second
Lien Secured Parties to (i) purchase (by credit bid or otherwise) all or any portion of the Collateral in connection with any enforcement of remedies by the Priority Lien Agent to the extent that, and so long as, the Priority Lien Secured
Parties receive payment in full in cash of all Priority Lien Obligations (other than the Excess Priority Lien Obligations) after giving effect thereto or (ii) file a proof of claim with respect to the Second Lien Obligations. 

Section 3.02 Standstill Periods; Permitted Enforcement Action. Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations and
notwithstanding the foregoing Section 3.01, both before and during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding: after a period of 180 days has elapsed (which period will be tolled during any period in which the
Priority Lien Agent is not entitled, on behalf of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, to enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral as a result of (i) any injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or
(ii) the automatic stay or any other stay or other prohibition in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) since the date on which the Second Lien Agent has delivered to the Priority Lien Agent written notice of the acceleration of any Second
Lien Debt (the “Standstill Period”), the Second Lien Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties may enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral; provided, however that notwithstanding
the expiration of the Standstill Period, in no event may the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral, or commence, join with any Person at any time in
commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any resolution for, any such action or proceeding, if the Priority Lien Agent on behalf of any or all of the Priority Lien Secured Parties or any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall have commenced,
and shall be diligently pursuing (or shall have sought or requested relief from, or modification of, the automatic stay or any other stay or other prohibition in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit
thereof), the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to any material portion of the Collateral or any such action or proceeding (prompt written notice thereof to be given to the Second Lien Agent by the Priority Lien Agent);
provided, further, that, at any time after the expiration of the Standstill Period, if neither the Priority Lien Agent nor any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing (or shall have sought or
requested relief from, or modification of, the automatic stay or any other stay or other prohibition in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit thereof) the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies
with respect to any material portion of the Collateral or any such action or proceeding, and the Second Lien Agent shall have commenced the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to any material portion of the Collateral or
any such action or proceeding, then for so long as the Second Lien Agent is diligently pursuing such rights or remedies, neither any Priority Lien Secured Party nor the Priority Lien Agent shall take any action of a similar nature (other than a
joinder in connection with such action or proceeding as may reasonably be considered necessary to preserve the rights of the Priority Lien Secured Parties therein) with respect to such Collateral, or commence, join with any Person at any time in
commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any resolution for, any such action or proceeding. 
 Section 3.03
Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has occurred (subject to the terms of Section 3.02, including the rights of the Second Lien Secured Parties following expiration of any
applicable Standstill Period), the Priority Lien Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Priority Lien Documents, to adjust and settle claims in respect of Collateral under any insurance policy
in the event of any loss thereunder and to 

  
 [AEG
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT] 


  
 15 








 
approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of Priority Lien
Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Priority Lien Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the Collateral
shall be paid to the Priority Lien Agent pursuant to the terms of the Priority Lien Documents (including for purposes of cash collateralization of Swap Agreements). If the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party shall, at any time,
receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of the foregoing, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Priority Lien Agent. In addition, if by virtue of being named as an additional insured or
loss payee of any insurance policy of any Grantor covering any of the Collateral, the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party, shall have the right to adjust or settle any claim under any such insurance policy, then unless and until
the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second Lien Agent and any such Second Lien Secured Party shall follow the instructions of the Priority Lien Agent, or of the Grantors under the Priority Lien Documents to the extent the
Priority Lien Documents grant such Grantors the right to adjust or settle such claims, with respect to such adjustment or settlement (subject to the terms of Section 3.02, including the rights of the Second Lien Secured
Parties following expiration of any applicable Standstill Period). 
 Section 3.04 Notification of Release of Collateral. Each
of the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent shall give the other Secured Debt Representatives prompt written notice of the Disposition by it of, and release by it of the Lien on, any Collateral. Such notice shall describe in reasonable
detail the subject Collateral, the parties involved in such Disposition or release, the place, time manner and method thereof, and the consideration, if any, received therefor; provided, however, that the failure to give any such
notice shall not in and of itself in any way impair the effectiveness of any such Disposition or release. 
 Section 3.05 No
Interference; Payment Over. 
 (a) No Interference. The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien
Secured Party, agrees that each Second Lien Secured Party (i) will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or effect of which is, or could be, to make any Second Lien pari passu with, or to give such Second Lien Secured
Party any preference or priority relative to, any Priority Lien with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, (ii) will not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Priority Lien Obligations or
Priority Lien Document, or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Priority Lien, or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) will not take or
cause to be taken any action the purpose or effect of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other Disposition of the Collateral by any Priority Lien
Secured Party or the Priority Lien Agent acting on their behalf, (iv) shall have no right to (A) direct the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Collateral
or (B) consent to the exercise by the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Collateral, (v) will not institute any suit or assert in any suit or Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding any claim against the Priority Lien Agent or other Priority Lien Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to, and neither the Priority Lien Agent
nor any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Priority Lien Agent or other Priority Lien Secured Party with respect to any Priority Lien Collateral, (vi) will not seek, and hereby
waives any right, to have any Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other Disposition of such Collateral, (vii) will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement, (viii) will 

  
 [AEG
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT] 


  
 16 








 
not object to, and hereby waives any right to object to, forbearance by the Priority Lien Agent or any Priority Lien Secured Party, and (ix) will not assert, and hereby waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral
or any similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law; and 
 (b) Payment Over. The Second Lien Agent,
for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, hereby agrees that if any Second Lien Secured Party shall obtain possession of any Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any Collateral, pursuant to the
exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral under any Second Lien Security Document, or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, to the extent permitted
hereunder, at any time prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations secured, or intended to be secured, by such Collateral, then it shall hold such Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the Priority Lien Agent and the other Priority
Lien Secured Parties and transfer such Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Priority Lien Agent as promptly as practicable. Furthermore, the Second Lien Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, promptly send written
notice to the Priority Lien Agent upon receipt of such Collateral by any Second Lien Secured Party, proceeds or payment and if directed by the Priority Lien Agent within five (5) days after receipt by the Priority Lien Agent of such written
notice, shall deliver such Collateral, proceeds or payment to the Priority Lien Agent in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Priority Lien Agent is hereby
authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party. The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that if, at any time, it obtains
written notice that all or part of any payment with respect to any Priority Lien Obligations not constituting Excess Priority Lien Obligations previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever, it will promptly pay over to the Priority
Lien Agent any payment received by it and then in its possession or under its direct control in respect of any such Priority Lien Collateral and shall promptly turn any such Collateral then held by it over to the Priority Lien Agent, and the
provisions set forth in this Agreement will be reinstated as if such payment had not been made, until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations. All Second Liens will remain attached to and enforceable against all proceeds so held or remitted,
subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section 3.05(b) shall not apply to any proceeds of Collateral realized in a transaction not
prohibited by the Priority Lien Documents and as to which the possession or receipt thereof by the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party is otherwise permitted by the Priority Lien Documents. 

Section 3.06 Purchase Option. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on or at any time after (i) the commencement of an Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding, (ii) the acceleration of the Priority Lien Obligations, or (iii) the delivery of any Section 363 Notice or the occurrence of any Section 363 Event, each of the holders of the Second Lien Debt and each of their respective
designated Affiliates (the “Second Lien Purchasers”) will have the several right, at their respective sole option and election (but will not be obligated), at any time upon prior written notice to the Priority Lien Agent, to
purchase from the Priority Lien Secured Parties (A) all (but not less than all) Priority Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) other than any Priority Lien Obligations constituting Excess Priority Lien Obligations and (B) if
applicable, all loans (and related obligations, including interest, fees and expenses) provided by any of the Priority Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing that are outstanding on the date of such purchase. Promptly following
the receipt of such notice, the Priority Lien Agent will deliver to the Second Lien Agent a statement of the amount of Priority Lien Debt, other 

  
 [AEG
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT] 


  
 17 








 
Priority Lien Obligations (other than any Priority Lien Obligations constituting Excess Priority Lien Obligations) and DIP Financing (including interest, fees, expenses and other obligations in
respect of such DIP Financing) provided by any of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, if any, then outstanding. The right to purchase provided for in this Section 3.06 will expire unless, within 10 Business Days after
the receipt by the Second Lien Agent of such notice from the Priority Lien Agent, the Second Lien Agent delivers to the Priority Lien Agent an irrevocable commitment of the Second Lien Purchasers to purchase (A) all (but not less than all) of
the Priority Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) other than any Priority Lien Obligations constituting Excess Priority Lien Obligations and (B) if applicable, all loans (and related obligations, including interest, fees and
expenses) provided by any of the Priority Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing and to otherwise complete such purchase on the terms set forth under this Section 3.06. 

(b) On the date specified by the Second Lien Agent (on behalf of the Second Lien Purchasers) in such irrevocable commitment (which shall not
be less than five Business Days nor more than 20 Business Days, after the receipt by the Priority Lien Agent of such irrevocable commitment), the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall sell to the Second Lien Purchasers (i) all (but not less
than all) Priority Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) other than any Priority Lien Obligations constituting Excess Priority Lien Obligations and (ii) if applicable, all loans (and related obligations, including interest, fees and
expenses) provided by any of the Priority Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing that are outstanding on the date of such sale, subject to any required approval of any Governmental Authority then in effect, if any, and only if
on the date of such sale, the Priority Lien Agent receives the following: 
 (i) payment, as the purchase price for all Priority Lien
Obligations sold in such sale, of an amount equal to the full amount of (i) all Priority Lien Obligations other than any Priority Lien Obligations constituting Excess Priority Lien Obligations and (ii) if applicable, all loans (and related
obligations, including interest, fees and expenses) provided by any of the Priority Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing then outstanding (including principal, interest, fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses,
but excluding contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand for payment has been made at or prior to such time); provided that in the case of obligations under Secured Swap Agreements that constitute Priority Lien
Obligations the Second Lien Purchasers shall cause the applicable agreements governing such obligations to be assigned and novated or, if such agreements have been terminated, such purchase price shall include an amount equal to the sum of any
unpaid amounts then due in respect of such obligations, calculated using the market quotation method and after giving effect to any netting arrangements; and 

(ii) any agreements, documents or instruments which the Priority Lien Agent may reasonably request pursuant to which the Second Lien Agent
and the Second Lien Purchasers in such sale expressly assume and adopt all of the obligations of the Priority Lien Agent and the Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Priority Lien Documents and in connection with loans (and related obligations,
including interest, fees and expenses) provided by any of the Priority Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing on and after the date of the purchase and sale and the Second Lien Agent (or any other representative appointed by the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Obligations then outstanding) becomes a successor agent thereunder. 

(c) Such purchase of the Priority Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) and any loans provided by any of the Priority Lien Secured
Parties in connection with a DIP Financing shall be made on a pro rata basis among the Second Lien Purchasers giving notice to the Priority Lien Agent of their interest to exercise the purchase option hereunder according to each such Second
Lien Purchaser’s portion of the Second Lien Debt outstanding on the date of purchase or such 

  
 [AEG
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT] 


  
 18 








 
portion as such Second Lien Purchasers may otherwise agree among themselves. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account
of the Priority Lien Agent as the Priority Lien Agent may designate in writing to the Second Lien Agent for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such sale occurs if the amounts so paid by the
Second Lien Purchasers to the bank account designated by the Priority Lien Agent are received in such bank account prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by
the Second Lien Purchasers to the bank account designated by the Priority Lien Agent are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, New York City time. 

(d) Such sale shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Priority Lien Secured Parties as to the Priority
Lien Obligations, the Collateral or otherwise and without recourse to any Priority Lien Secured Party, except that the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall represent and warrant severally as to the Priority Lien Obligations (including unfunded
commitments) and any loans provided by any of the Priority Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing then owing to it: (i) that such applicable Priority Lien Secured Party owns such Priority Lien Obligations (including unfunded
commitments) and any loans provided by any of the Priority Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing; and (ii) that such applicable Priority Lien Secured Party has the necessary corporate or other governing authority to assign
such interests. 
 (e) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Second Lien Purchasers pursuant to this
Section 3.06 (so long as they meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant Priority Lien Documents, other than obtaining the consent of any Grantor to an assignment to the extent required by such Priority Lien Documents) for
purposes of all Priority Lien Documents and hereby agrees that no further consent from such Grantor shall be required. 
 ARTICLE IV

 OTHER AGREEMENTS 

Section 4.01 Release of Liens; Automatic Release of Second Liens. (a) Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations,
the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that, in the event the Priority Lien Agent or the requisite Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Priority Lien Documents release the Priority Lien on
any Collateral, the Second Lien on such Collateral shall terminate and be released automatically and without further action if (i) such release is permitted under the Second Lien Documents, (ii) such release is effected in connection with
the Priority Lien Agent’s foreclosure upon, or other exercise of rights or remedies with respect to, such Collateral, or (iii) such release is effected in connection with a sale or other Disposition of any Collateral (or any portion
thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the requisite Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Priority Lien Documents shall have consented to such sale or Disposition of such
Collateral; provided that, in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the Second Liens on such Collateral shall attach to (and shall remain subject and subordinate to all Priority Liens securing Priority Lien Obligations,
subject to the Priority Lien Cap) any proceeds of a sale, transfer or other Disposition of Collateral not paid to the Priority Lien Secured Parties or that remain after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations. The Priority Lien Agent agrees
to give the Second Lien Agent no less than 10 Business Days advance written notice of any proposed release pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) (other than pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code) of this Section 4.01(b) (provided
that such notice shall not be required to the extent extraordinary exigent circumstances shall arise that would irrevocably substantially impair the rights of the Priority Lien Secured Parties if such release were to be delayed by such 10 Business
Day period) (each such notice, a “Priority Lien Release Notice”). Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.01(a), if the Second Lien Purchasers have exercised their 

  
 [AEG
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT] 


  
 19 








 
purchase option (or have committed to exercise their purchase option) pursuant to Section 3.06, no release pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section
4.01(a) shall be permitted under this Section 4.01(a) to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Second Lien Purchasers shall not have defaulted on their obligations to consummate the purchase of the Priority Lien Debt and other
obligations contemplated by Section 3.06. 
 (b) The Second Lien Agent agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of
the Grantors) all such releases and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Priority Lien Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Collateral provided for in this Section 4.01. 

Section 4.02 Certain Agreements With Respect to Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge
that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against the
Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any action taken in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, including any attempted rejection under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. All references in this Agreement to the Borrower or any of its
subsidiaries or any other Grantor will include such Person or Persons as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person or Persons in an Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding. For the purposes of this Section 4.02, unless otherwise provided herein, clauses (b) through and including (o) shall be in full force and effect prior to the
Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations. 
 (b) If the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries shall become subject to any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, or if any receiver or trustee for such Person or Persons shall, move for approval of financing
(“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code and/or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of
each Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that neither it nor any other Second Lien Secured Party will raise any objection to, contest or oppose, and each Second Lien Secured Party will waive any claim such Person may now or hereafter have related to
or in connection with, any such financing or to the Liens on the Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”), or any use, sale or lease of cash collateral that constitutes Collateral or to any grant of administrative
expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless (A) the Priority Lien Agent or the Priority Lien Secured Parties oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or such use of cash collateral,
(B) the maximum principal amount of indebtedness permitted under such DIP Financing exceeds the sum of (I) the amount of Priority Lien Obligations refinanced with the proceeds thereof (not including the amount of any Excess Priority Lien
Obligations) and (II) twenty percent (20%) of the amount of then outstanding Priority Lien Debt, or (C) the terms of such DIP Financing provide for the sale of a substantial part of the Collateral (other than a sale or disposition
pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and with respect to which the Second Lien Secured Parties are deemed to have consented pursuant to Section 4.02(d)) or require the confirmation of a plan of reorganization
containing specific terms or provisions (other than repayment in cash of such DIP Financing on the effective date thereof). To the extent such DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank pari passu with, the Priority Liens, the Second
Lien Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, subordinate the Second Liens on the Collateral to the Priority Liens and to such DIP Financing Liens, so long as the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien
Secured Parties, retains Liens on all the Collateral, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, with the same priority relative to the Priority Liens as existed prior to the commencement
of the case under the Bankruptcy Code.

 (c) Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, without the written consent of the
Priority Lien Agent which consent is in its sole discretion, the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party, agrees not to propose, support or enter into any DIP Financing. 

(d) The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that it shall be deemed to have consented to,
and shall not object to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any other party objecting to, opposing or contesting) a sale or other Disposition, a motion to sell or Dispose or the bidding procedure for such sale or Disposition of any
Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code (any such sale or motion, a “Section 363 Event” and any notice or ruling issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction in respect of such Section 363 Event, a “Section 363 Notice”) if the requisite Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Priority Lien Documents shall have consented to such sale or Disposition, such motion to sell
or Dispose or such bidding procedure for such sale or Disposition of such Collateral and all Priority Liens and Second Liens will attach to the proceeds of the sale in the same respective priorities as set forth in this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.02(d), if the Second Lien Purchasers have exercised their purchase option (or have committed to exercise their purchase option) pursuant to Section 3.06(a), Section 363
Objections shall be permitted to be made by the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party, but only so long as the Second Lien Purchasers shall not have defaulted on their obligations to consummate the purchase of the Priority Lien Debt and
other obligations contemplated by Section 3.06. 
 (e) The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien
Secured Party, waives any claim that it may now or hereafter have against the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party arising out of any DIP Financing Liens (that is granted in a manner that is consistent with this Agreement) or
administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (f) The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of
each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that neither the Second Lien Agent nor any other Second Lien Secured Party will file or prosecute in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any motion for adequate protection (or any comparable request
for relief) based upon their interest in the Collateral, nor object to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any other party objecting to, opposing or contesting) (i) any request by the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien
Secured Party for adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Priority Lien Agent or Priority Lien Secured Parties
claiming a lack of adequate protection, except that the Second Lien Secured Parties may: 
 (A) freely seek and obtain relief granting
adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien co-extensive in all respects with, but subordinated (as set forth in Section 2.01) to, and with the same relative priority to the Priority Liens as existed prior to the
commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, all Liens granted in the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to, or for the benefit of, the Priority Lien Secured Parties; and 

(B) freely seek and obtain any relief upon a motion for adequate protection (or any comparable relief), without any condition or restriction
whatsoever, at any time after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations. 
 (g) The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each
other Second Lien Secured Party, waives any claim it or any such other Second Lien Secured Party may now or hereafter have against the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party (or their representatives)


  
 [AEG
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT] 


  
 21 








 
arising out of any election by the Priority Lien Agent or any Priority Lien Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (h) The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither the Second Lien Agent nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall support or vote to accept any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement of the Borrower or any other Grantor unless (i) such
plan is accepted by the Class of Priority Lien Secured Parties in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise provides for the payment in full in cash of all Priority Lien Obligations (including all post-petition interest approved by the bankruptcy court and fees and expenses) on the effective date of such plan of reorganization, or (ii) such plan provides on account of the Priority Lien Secured Parties
for the retention by the Priority Lien Agent, for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Priority Lien Obligations, and on all proceeds thereof whenever received, and such plan also provides
that any Liens retained by, or granted to, the Second Lien Agent are only on property securing the Priority Lien Obligations and shall have the same relative priority with respect to the Collateral or other property, respectively, as provided in
this Agreement with respect to the Collateral. Except as provided herein, the Second Lien Secured Parties shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. 

(i) The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.02, neither the Second Lien Agent nor any other Second Lien Secured Party, shall seek relief, pursuant to Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, from the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code or from any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral without the prior written consent of the Priority Lien Agent, which consent is in its sole discretion. 

(j) Without the express written consent of the Priority Lien Agent, which consent is in its sole discretion, neither the Second Lien Agent nor
any other Second Lien Secured Party shall (or shall join with or support any other party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor, (i) oppose, object to or
contest the determination of the extent of or validity of any Liens held by any of Priority Lien Secured Party or the value of any claims of any such holder under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise or (ii) oppose, object to
or contest the payment to the Priority Lien Secured Party of interest, fees or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that any
Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that, any distribution or recovery they may receive in respect of any Collateral
shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over, subject to the requirements of Section 6.01(a), to the Priority Lien Agent for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties in the same form as received
without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of the Second Lien Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any
necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, hereby appoints the Priority Lien Agent, and any officer or agent of
the Priority Lien Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Second Lien Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.02(k) and taking any action and
executing any instrument that the Priority Lien Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.02(k), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

 (l) The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party,
hereby agrees that the Priority Lien Agent shall have the exclusive right to credit bid the Priority Lien Obligations and further that neither the Second Lien Agent nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall (or shall join with or support any
other party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be) oppose, object to or contest such credit bid by the Priority Lien Agent. 

(m) Without the consent of the Priority Lien Agent which is in its sole discretion, the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each
other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees it will not file or join an involuntary bankruptcy petition or seek the appointment of an examiner or a trustee for the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. 

(n) Neither Priority Lien Agent nor any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall oppose or challenge any claim by the Second Lien Agent or any
other Second Lien Secured Party for the allowance or payment in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses pursuant to Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the
extent of the value of the Second Liens on the Collateral, provided that if the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall have made any such claim, such claim (i) shall have been approved or (ii) will be approved
contemporaneously with the approval of any such claim by the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party, as applicable. 
 (o) The
Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, waives any right to assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) or 552 of the Bankruptcy Code as against any Priority Lien Secured Party or any of the

 Section 4.03 Reinstatement. If any Priority Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”) for any reason whatsoever, then the Priority Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the
Priority Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Priority Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that if,
at any time, a Second Lien Secured Party receives notice of any Recovery, the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party shall promptly pay over to the Priority Lien Agent any payment received by it and then in its possession or under
its control in respect of any Collateral subject to any Priority Lien securing such Priority Lien Obligations and shall promptly turn any Collateral subject to any such Priority Lien then held by it over to the Priority Lien Agent, and the
provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated as if such payment had not been made. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to any such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such
prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Any amounts received by the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party and
then in its possession or under its control on account of the Second Lien Obligations, after the termination of this Agreement shall, in the event of a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.03 and to
the extent consistent with Section 6.01(a), be held in trust for and paid over to the Priority Lien Agent for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties for application to the reinstated Priority Lien Obligations
until the discharge thereof. This Section 4.03 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 Section 4.04 Refinancings. The Priority Lien Obligations and the Second Lien
Obligations may be Replaced, by any Priority Substitute Credit Facility or Second Lien Substitute Facility, as the case may be, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided
for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, that (a) the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent shall receive on or prior to incurrence of a Priority Substitute Credit Facility or Second Lien Substitute Facility
(i) an Officers’ Certificate from the Borrower stating that (A) the incurrence thereof is permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be incurred and (B) the requirements of Section 4.06 have
been satisfied, and (ii) a Priority Confirmation Joinder from the holders or lenders of any indebtedness that Replaces the Priority Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations (or an authorized agent, trustee or other representative on
their behalf) and (b) on or before the date of such incurrence, such Priority Substitute Credit Facility or Second Lien Substitute Facility is designated by the Borrower, in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Priority Lien Agent and
the Second Lien Agent, as “Priority Lien Debt” or “Second Lien Debt”, as applicable, for the purposes of the Secured Debt Documents and this Agreement; provided that no Series of Secured Debt may be designated as more than
one of Priority Lien Debt or Second Lien Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Borrower or any other Grantor to incur additional indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of each
applicable Secured Debt Document. Each of the then-exiting Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent shall be authorized to execute and deliver such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such
holders, lenders, agent, trustee or other representative may reasonably request to give effect to any such Replacement, it being understood that the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent or (if permitted by the terms of the applicable
Secured Debt Documents) the Grantors, without the consent of any other Secured Party or (in the case of the Grantors) one or more Secured Debt Representatives, may amend, supplement, modify or restate this Agreement to the extent necessary or
appropriate to facilitate such amendments or supplements to effect such Replacement or incurrence all at the expense of the Grantors. Upon the consummation of such Replacement or incurrence and the execution and delivery of the documents and
agreements contemplated in the preceding sentence, the holders or lenders of such indebtedness and any authorized agent, trustee or other representative thereof shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. 

Section 4.05 Amendments to Second Lien Documents. Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, without the prior written
consent of the Priority Lien Agent, no Second Lien Document may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified and/or refinanced or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement, restatement or modification and/or refinancing, or
the terms of any new Second Lien Document, would (i) require the payment of interest or fees in cash (other than (A) the payments with the proceeds of any such new Second Lien Loan Document and (B) the payment of an agency fee in an amount
consistent with then market terms), (ii) adversely affect the lien priority rights of the Priority Lien Secured Parties or the rights of the Priority Lien Secured Parties to receive payments owing pursuant to the Priority Lien Documents; provided,
however, that an increase in the amount of secured obligations owing under the Second Lien Documents (including, without limitation, an increase in the amount of interest or fees to be paid in kind thereunder and the making of the payments
contemplated by clauses (i)(A) and (B) above)) shall not be deemed in and of itself to adversely affect the Priority Lien Secured Parties’ lien priority rights or right to receive payment pursuant to the Priority Lien Documents,
(iii) except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, add any Liens securing the Collateral granted under the Second Lien Security Documents, (iv) confer any additional rights on the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Secured
Party in a manner adverse to the rights of Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Priority Lien Documents, or (v) contravene the provisions of this Agreement or the Priority Lien Documents. 

Section 4.06 Legends. The Second Lien Agent acknowledges with respect to the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien
Security Documents, that the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the 

  
 [AEG
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT] 


  
 24 








 
Second Lien Documents (other than control agreements to which both the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent are parties) and each associated Security Document (other than control
agreements to which both the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent are parties) granting any security interest in the Collateral will contain the appropriate legend set forth on Annex I. 

Section 4.07 Second Lien Secured Parties Rights as Unsecured Creditors; Judgment Lien Creditor. Both before and during an
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any of the Second Lien Secured Parties may take any actions and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims; provided, however, that the Second Lien Secured
Parties may not take any of the actions prohibited by Section 3.05(a) or Section 4.02 or any other provisions in this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event that any of the
Second Lien Secured Parties becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subject to the
terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Priority Lien Obligations) as the Second Liens are subject to this Agreement. 

Section 4.08 Postponement of Subrogation. The Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party,
hereby agrees that no payment or distribution to any Priority Lien Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle any Second Lien Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until, in the case of
the Second Lien Secured Parties, the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, but subject to the reinstatement as provided in Section 4.03, each
Priority Lien Secured Party will execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as any Second Lien Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Priority Lien Obligations
resulting from payments or distributions to such Priority Lien Secured Party by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by such Priority Lien Secured
Party are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof. 
 Section 4.09 Acknowledgment by the Secured Debt
Representatives. Each of the Priority Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Priority Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges that
this Agreement is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that each has relied on this Agreement to enter into the Priority Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement, as applicable, and all documentation related
thereto, and that each will continue to rely on this Agreement in their related future dealings. 
 ARTICLE V 

GRATUITOUS BAILMENT FOR PERFECTION OF CERTAIN SECURITY INTERESTS 

Section 5.01 General. Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Lien Agent agrees that if it shall at any
time hold a Priority Lien on any Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Collateral or of any Account in which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such Account is in fact in the possession or under
the control of the Priority Lien Agent, the Priority Lien Agent will serve as gratuitous bailee for the Second Lien Agent for the sole purpose of perfecting the Second Lien of the Second Lien Agent on such Collateral. It is agreed that the
obligations of the Priority Lien Agent and the rights of the Second Lien Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties in connection with any such bailment arrangement will be in all respects subject to the provisions of
Article II. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Priority Lien Agent will be deemed to make no representation as to the adequacy of the steps taken by it to perfect the Second Lien on any such


  
 [AEG
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT] 


  
 25 








 
Collateral and shall have no responsibility, duty, obligation or liability to the Second Lien Agent, any other Second Lien Secured Party or any other Person for such perfection or failure to
perfect, it being understood that the sole purpose of this Article is to enable the Second Lien Secured Parties to obtain a perfected Second Lien in such Collateral to the extent, if any, that such perfection results from the possession or control
of such Collateral or any such Account by the Priority Lien Agent. The Priority Lien Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not have by reason of the Priority Lien Security Documents, the Second Lien Security
Documents, this Agreement or any other document or theory, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Priority Lien Secured Party, the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party. Subject to Section 4.03, from
and after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Lien Agent shall take all such actions in its power as shall reasonably be requested by the Second Lien Agent (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) to transfer possession or
control of such Collateral or any such Account (in each case to the extent the Second Lien Agent has a Lien on such Collateral or Account after giving effect to any prior or concurrent releases of Liens) to the Second Lien Agent for the benefit of
all Second Lien Secured Parties. 
 Section 5.02 Deposit Accounts. Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, to the
extent that any Account is under the control of the Priority Lien Agent at any time (within the meaning of the term “control” as relates to Accounts under Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC), the Priority Lien Agent will act as
gratuitous bailee for the Second Lien Agent for the purpose of perfecting the Liens of the Second Lien Secured Parties in such Accounts and the cash and other assets therein as provided in Section 3.01 (but will have no
duty, responsibility or obligation to the Second Lien Secured Parties (including, without limitation, any duty, responsibility or obligation as to the maintenance of such control, the effect of such arrangement or the establishment of such
perfection) except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 5.02(a)). Unless the Second Liens on such Collateral shall have been or concurrently are released, after the occurrence of Discharge of Priority Lien
Obligations, the Priority Lien Agent shall, at the request of the Second Lien Agent, cooperate with the Grantors and the Second Lien Agent (at the expense of the Grantors) in permitting control of any other Accounts to be transferred to the Second
Lien Agent (or for other arrangements with respect to each such Accounts satisfactory to the Second Lien Agent to be made). 
 ARTICLE VI

 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS; DETERMINATION OF AMOUNTS 

Section 6.01 Application of Proceeds. Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, and regardless of whether an Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced, Collateral or proceeds received in connection with the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to any portion of the Collateral will be applied: 

(a) first, to the payment in full in cash of all Priority Lien Obligations that are not Excess Priority Lien Obligations, 

(b) second, to the payment in full in cash of all Second Lien Obligations, 

(c) third, to the payment in full in cash of all Excess Priority Lien Obligations, and 

(d) fourth, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable law. 

Section 6.02 Determination of Amounts. Whenever a Secured Debt Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise
of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Priority Lien Obligations, Second Lien Obligations, or the existence of any Lien securing any such obligations, or the Collateral subject to
any such Lien, it may

request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the other Secured Debt Representatives and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so
furnished; provided, however, that if a Secured Debt Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Secured Debt Representative shall be entitled to make any such
determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Borrower. Each Secured Debt Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so
relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, any Secured
Party or any other Person as a result of such determination. 
 ARTICLE VII

CONSENT OF GRANTORS; ETC.

Priority Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations, as the case may be, that is known or becomes known to any of them or any of their Affiliates. In the event any Priority Lien Secured Party or any Second Lien Secured Party, in its sole
discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Second Lien Secured Party or any Priority Lien Secured Party, as the case may be, it shall be under no obligation (a) to make, and shall not make or

other Second Lien Secured Party, and the Second Lien Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties shall have no express or implied duty to the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party, to act or refrain from acting in a manner
which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of a default or an event of default under any Priority Lien Document and any Second Lien Document (other than, in each case, this Agreement), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they
may have or be charged with.

time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed; 
 (c) any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course
of conduct or otherwise, of any Secured Debt Document;

 [AEG
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT]

written consent of the Priority Lien Agent, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any Priority Lien Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense
or plea in its or their name or in the name of such Grantor. 
 (b) Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, should any Second
Lien Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or take any other
action in violation of this Agreement or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Grantor) or the relevant Grantor, with the
prior written consent of the Priority Lien Agent, (A) may obtain relief against such Second Lien Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Second Lien
Agent on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party that (I) the Priority Lien Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (II) each Second Lien Secured Party waives

jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
